After Kawaki's introduction, scientific ninja tools are no longer mentioned, irrelevant, and simply useless. If primarily impacted the story during the Momoshiki arc and that was it.

Aside from filler episodes, scientific ninja tools have about as much impact as the anbu black ops.

At $450, I don't mind paying for a console.

I do mind paying that much for my kids to own it. "$100 to $200 max for children, who may end up breaking it. Add on to Nintendo's strict policies that children shouldn't agree to, it becomes an instant no.

I was never planning to get the Switch 2.

Now, the Switch 2 OLED, which should have been the base model, that's a different story.

Besides, I don't have many switch 1 games that I care to replay and there's only 2 exclusives this year that I'm aware of. I'm more than happy to wait.

Also, and this is more important, I can laugh at all the switch 2 owners who'll have to pay for the upgrade despite knowing that they should have had the OLED version originally this year.

I'm confident we'll be seeing buyer remorse articles about the base model when the OLED comes out.

With only one switch 2 exclusive out and only one more coming out this year, I don't believe it is worth it. Especially since they are most likely going to release an OLED version later on.

They could just make it inti a movie or a TV series, which is a far better option in my opinion.

Union X burnt be out with some of the pay walls and I'm not confident that Missing Link would have been different (game play aside.)

I think everyone needs to chill about this ability. TBV is barely getting started and will have far stronger abilities as the story progresses.

With that said, I'm sure the next ability shown will be considered more broken than this.

The only thing I'm going to comment about the price increase is that, exclusivity or not, the price increase should come with the expectation that the quality of the product should be higher not stagnant. If the prices was raised last year on games like SSKTJ and Concord, or ones like Starfield, I would have said these developers lost their minds if they think their development time, process, etc justified the increase.

If I'm, or anyone else, is going to buy $90 or $100 games, every game had better be the next Elden Ring, Black Myth Wukong, or Tears of the Kingdom because I believe anything other than amazing is unacceptable.
