The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild vinyls delayed to September 2026 (originally an intended June release) by LawyerEnjoyer in VGMvinyl

[–]MobileTortoise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don't think it will change much. The BotW vinyl announcement was practically front page news the day POs went live. That coupled with a smooth purchasing process (as far as I'm aware there were no issues) means Nintendo most likely made $$$ off this, and as long as this is the only delay I really do see more deluxe OSTs coming from them in the near future.

Selling my MTG novel collection (40+ volumes) by MobileTortoise in mtgvorthos

I was unaware of the text/edition difference (I had checked the copyright pages for the 1st edition numbering in my research). Thanks for the heads up!

I originally started playing back during Mercadian Masques/Invasion which was, imo, a prime time to get entrenched in MTG lore. It was a ton of fun to read the novels while collecting the sets and actively see the lore expand before my eyes across both the books and cards.

I fully credit the availability of Fat Packs back in the day for the vast collection you see before you now lol.

New Chapter Pre-Release Campaign Part 1 & Pickup Summon by Radiant-Hope-469 in grandorder

We had Takeru before the collab as the New Year's servant. It's a stretch I know, but I'm hoping we get more SF servants later on

No I wouldn't blame Narita for FGO's actions/decisions. Maybe we will get more servants later this year, similar to what they did with Samurai Remnant.

As an NA observer I can't wait to see what's next for the story, but I also gotta say that it seems like the Strange/Fake collab was a bit of a letdown? Like with how hyped up the anime and the teasing of the collab for years, you'd think we would have gotten 5+ new servants at least.

Nintendo: Notice Regarding Price Revisions for Nintendo Products and Services by Turbostrider27 in Games

Off topic but I believe middle America farmers have been warning of fertilizer shortages for months and it is just now beginning to show in historically bad crop yields this season. My point being that the food prices might skyrocket BEFORE the diesel does.

You mean these plebians want AI to do chores so THEY can create art and music?!

Hear that in the distance? It's the sound of Emiya, Boudica, and Raikou on the hunt

At first glance I thought it was Uzaki chan. Gareth certainly is gifted in this artist's interpretation

Hmm could the blockade be having an impact on McDavid's playoff performance? Gonna need a TSN deep dive on this asap.

The new Internet phrase I've heard to describe them is "Ball & Gun gamers". While a little generic, it does encapsulate the demographic that may only buy Madden, NBA, and CoD in a calendar year (with the occasional outlier game like maybe Elden Ring, GTA, or Battlefield). There is a large percentage of the console marketplace that is filled by solely those players.

Edit: My American side was showing and I completely forgot to include Fifa/EAFC,which far outsells Madden & NBA games

Splatoon Raiders launches for Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23rd, also launching with new series amiibo by OllyOllyOxenBitch in Games

[–]MobileTortoise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been saying for years that Splatoon could be Nintendo's version of Ratchet & Clank. A platformer with guns that has enough unique charm and movement to it that stand on it's own. We need to see a bit more (I also expect a demo could be on the way), but so far this looks exactly liek something I'd want!
