Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging that the company will be unjustly enriching itself with any refund it secures from the U.S. government over widespread tariffs last year that, among other things, hiked the prices of Nintendo hardware and accessories.

“Unless restrained by this Court, Nintendo stands to recover the same tariff payments twice—once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the government on those funds,” the suit states.

I've been ootl on Pokemon since y/x, and even was barely paying attention before someone else bought it for me. But the shit I saw when sword shield(? First switch title) was wild. They really were just phoning it in, and people still bought everything else they dropped! The only reason I got a switch was for prime 4, and likely won't be getting a switch 2. Sucks watching my nostalgia be abused in real time.

    You can still enjoy the games you are nostalgic for with emulators.

    I think emulators and ROM hacks are where it's at. Screw new games.

    FR lack of backwards compatibility is what kept me from getting one for the longest time, got one, I played Metroid Dread, despite only being available for that console that is not the system it plays best on. Now I have a cheap SBC, It's sad when a $30 handheld can smoke a name brand
