"We don't like the proposed new Coke recipe, so we're switching to drinking raw undiluted sewage instead".
There's a direct quote from the company.
According to a statement sent to The Verge by Eddie Garcia on behalf of Nintendo, it says preorders will no longer begin on April 9th:
"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."
I'm also in Europe.
Presumably the same tariffs will apply to PlayStations and Xboxes too (both made in China with components from Korea, and the former being a Japanese company).
Also, most PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
American gamers aren't going to be overwhelmed with cheaper choices.
They're definitely creatively stale, but they're also undeniably good at what they do. They have by far the best selling console of the last generation, and are the only console company to consistently post healthy profits on their operation.
Is it a bit naff that their next generation of games will almost certainly be yet another Zelda, yet another Mario, yet another Pokémon? Absolutely. But if their next Zelda game is yet another best-selling critically acclaimed success, who are we to say that they've got the wrong approach?
Depends what you're after. I'm a Thunderbird user, but if user friendliness is the aim then Geary is quite good.
Ubuntu Touch is such a nice user experience. If it had an Android-tier app ecosystem it'd be a very nice daily driver.
Ah, the great beige era. I miss beige computers.
Sort of.
British company Cello make one. I don't know if the carbonator is made in the UK, but the company brags that it's the only company to manufacturer TVs in Britain so I presume they also manufacture the rest of their products here too.
Divine is good. Based in London and manufactured in England, but roughly half owned by a cocoa farmer's cooperative in Ghana.
I mean, I don't not want to see that...
