>It feels like the pace of figure releases has slowed dramatically.
It's complicated.
The average over the past five years is about ten figures per year (with the highest in that time being four years ago with 20 and the lowest being five years ago with four). We had nine figures released in 2024.
But, what we also had was a *lot* of reprints of figures people had been wanting to see reprinted. There were *tons* of restocks/reprints in 2024.
I don't *know* the business side of things, but my gut instinct is that including the NFC reader is cheap (although Nintendo does love to pinch pennies) and leaving it in A.) keeps Switch 1 compatibility, B.) provides the *option* for new amiibo (/wrist bands), and C.) would allow them to experiment with other ideas (tap to pay on eShop?).
Could be wrong. But I'd keep it in there.

You'll see them quite often when folks post pictures of their collections. They're really popular and often go on sale for a good price.

There are multiple translations of his name out there and that's one I've seen before. Granted, I would have gone with the one he, himself, uses, which is the "Alexey Pajitnov" name.

Movies & TV / Joker 2 (mostly spoiler-free).
« on: October 23, 2024, 12:34:37 AM »
Okay, so I really liked the first Joker movie. It wasn't "comic accurate" (whatever that even means anymore), but it was really well done and I really enjoyed it. That said, I didn't "connect" with the Joker in this movie, I'm didn't see him as a hero or an icon. It was just a fun movie.
After the terrible reception J2 received, I hadn't gone out of my way to see it.
I finally watched it though... means... tonight and... I liked it.
It wasn't amazing, but, aside from that one scene (which, if you've seen it or had it spoiled, you know), I think it was really well done. I really enjoyed what Phoenix and Gaga brought to the table. I didn't even mind the twist ending.
I don't want to say too much to spoil it, but... if you liked the original, give it a chance.

Wesley Snipes. With all the rumors of drama behind Blade 3, I figured there was no way in hell he'd play Blade again. Or work with Ryan Reynolds again.

I'm weirded out that I just deleted four pieces of SPAM and they went to the recycle bin and aren't showing in the recent posts feed. :/
Anywhoo, again, I apologize and will pay closer attention next time.

Oh dude, I'm so sorry. It looked like spam and I didn't see you posted it.
That's weird. I generally look at https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?action=recent to see the most recent posts and remove the spam ones. I recall your post was in there twice (which added to thinking it was spam)... but, apparently, I deleted it from here and then the recycle bin - which is really odd, because the recycle bin doesn't show up in the most recent posts link.
So, I can't even restore it from the recycle bin.

I basically think of it as an NES Remix 3.
Since they didn't go with that name, there's a sliver of hope we'll see other editions... but I'm with you - I doubt it.
I find it most funny that only one of the original three titles are even in this edition.

Thinking more about this, I don't think a lot of folks traded in their 3DS to buy Switches because they couldn't play 3DS titles on the Switch.
Likewise, folks didn't trade in their DS to buy 3DS systems, since they'd lose that GBA compatibility.
I wonder how many GCN-Compatible Wii were even still on the market to buy when the Wii U came out. I'd say the 2m that sold were for Wii support alone. Maybe collectors picking up Minis at the end of life?

With the 3DS, even with the online features shut down, I think Nintendo could re-release the 3DS in stores right now and folks would snap them up. It's legitimately insane the prices they're going for now. I do think one thing that helped the 3DS sale is knowing there were so many amazing DS/3DS titles that you *cannot* play on Switch. If the New Super Switch 2 U is 100% b/c with Switch, unless there is a significant price difference, I could see a lot of folks just buying the newer system.
That said, I don't see a *lot* of used Switches for sale. They exist (definitely on-line), but it seems to be a seller's market, for sure. If there's not a significant amount of used systems at the end of the life cycle (which, I think, happened with the 3DS, as most owner's chose to hang on to theirs), that'd help boost sales of the original as well.
We'll see. I definitely am not counting Nintendo out.
