Thanks, #tariffs. #Anbernic has suspended US-bound shipments of their #retro #handhelds. You can still purchase any device that is already at a US warehouse, but that stock will run dry after a while, and no new devices will be arriving for now. #videogames liliputing.com/anbernic-…

If you’ve never seen #Floor796, prepare to be amazed. A single artist, in their free time, has been creating an enormous, tile-based animated #GIF filled with all manner of characters from all manner of media. They’ve just added a new tile today. #animation #art #creatives #ZeroAI floor796.com

I don’t know if I’ve shared much of Max Derrat’s work here, but this is fascinating if you’re interested in Eastern #philosophy as it relates to #VideoGames. In today’s episode, he discusses #FromSoftware’s #Sekiro. The connections are amazing. #StayYellow www.youtube.com/watch

LOLZ. First watch this #Nintendo #SNES commercial from 1991 starring Paul Rudd, then watch the new one for the #Switch2 where he reprises his role and actually speaks! #videogames #youtube

While it remains unknown what technology #Nintendo has developed for the new #Switch2 #JoyCons, it is crystal clear that they have done everything in their power to prevent another stick drift debacle. And yet Mario’s Dad won’t confirm what, so we’ll have to wait. #videogames www.theverge.com/news/6444…

As heartbreaking as it seems, #Nintendo’s pricing for the #Switch2 and its games is not an increase over previous years. For more details on the why and how of that, check out Nintendo Forecasts’ video on the matter. #videogames #inflation #economics www.youtube.com/watch

#TFG’s #tariffs have prompted #Nintendo to pause pre-orders for the #Switch2 in the #US which were going to start on April 9th so Nintendo can evaluate the rapidly changing economic landscape. Fans are already unhappy about Switch 2 pricing. #videogames #news kotaku.com/switch-2-…
