Same in Norway. All major distributors had consoles available in store. Slow start like the 3DS because of the pricing strategy?

Je viens de voir le 101% édition 2025. Un énorme merci à @origasky.bsky.social, @alexpilot.bsky.social et tous les anciens de #Nolife qui ont participé. Que de nostalgie et de bons souvenirs! Merci!

We've teamed up with @retrobitgaming.bsky.social to give away a copy of Toaplan Collection 2 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive! To be in with a chance to win, make sure you're following both @timeextension.com and @retrobitgaming.bsky.social, and then reshare and like this post

#Tetris is a special game for me. I’ve played many of its versions for the past 35 years and still actively play the Tetris Grand Master series. Let’s jump into Tetris history with #TetrisForever. (Bought from LGR and I thought it would be a LGR release, but it’s not)

I have been forced to use #Windows11 lately since I got a new gaming rig and being mainly a Linux desktop (Hyprland) user I had forgotten how horrendous window and workspace management was on Windows. It's clunky, unorganized and years behind what #Linux and MacOS offer. Almost unbelievable for 2025

Almost joined in the Switch 2 pre-order madness last night but then I saw the ads with the $80 game prices and the game-less game cards and decided to sit it out

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reviews are being published and it seems that everyone agrees on how good it is. A J-RPG made in France, with a new take on turn by turn combats, that isn't 100+ hours long. It seems I've found what I'm playing next! opencritic.com/game/18026/c...

And I’m done with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle! First game played on my RX 9070 XT, extremely smooth in ultra with ray tracing on for 2/3 of the game and then FPS plummeted for the last part. RT off and again 100+ FPS. Fantastic adventure and that’s what the two last movies should have been!

The #Switch2 with Mario Kart World will be sold for 7449 NOK on launch day here in #Norway, which is 670€/736$. I was expecting a higher price than EU/US, but this comes in as a shock. Definitely not day one as it stands now.

What did I see yesterday that MIGHT convince me to buy a Switch 2? MK World and The Duskbloods. I was not impressed by the fact that the #Switch2 will now be entering the multiplatform release race. I want my #Nintendo console to be unique and if I need 4K bells & whistles I go to a PS5 or PC.

It's official Tetris Grand Master 4 is coming on April 4th for 34.99USD/3900JPY. Available on Steam. This is amazing news for all #Tetris players out there!!! Trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asmq...

Unfortunately the price can't be justified for all of us outside the US...

Pourquoi est-ce qu'être gamer en 2025 est encore l'explication que trouvent les médias à un meurtre? Dans la terrible affaire du meurtre de Louise, j'entends ce matin à plusieurs reprises "le suspect jouait aux jeux vidéo". C'est désolant, en 35 ans, rien n'a changé! Que de raccourcis!

This week I received my NeoSD Pro from TerraOnion. I bought this 2nd hand to ensure that it wasn't from the recent batch that had a new FPGA and that apparently has quite a few problems. When i first inserted it in my Neo Geo, I got a white screen. Cleaned the cart, white screen. Cleaned the slot...

Childhood dream come true… “I’ll have a Neo Geo when I grow up” I won’t be collecting games though since prices are what they are. NeoSD Pro is on the way. #retrogaming #SNK #NeoGeo

As Indiana Jones once said...

Why does this remind me so much of the WiiU fiasco? -Both consoles have almost the same name -Both consoles have almost the same form factor -Both consoles played games from the previous gen -Average Joe won't get the benefits Oh man! Let's cross fingers and hope for the best! #Nintendo #Switch2

Today I deactivated my #Facebook account in protest of the recent #Meta policy changes. And it felt good! It probably won't change anything since I used to check in maybe twice a year, but it's one user less for them.

What a disappointment that @limitedrungames.com is only releasing a US/EU version of Snow Bros. Given the price for an original one on Japanese #MegaDrive, it would have been a great opportunity to get a physical release on original hardware. #Sega #limitedrungames

Vous en faites ce que vous voulez, mais encore un très bon argument pour tourner le dos aux plateformes de Meta.

It’s not something I do very often, but today I assembled a #Gundam while listening to vinyls. It turns out #gunpla is very relaxing and actually a bit more challenging than Lego.

I've just binge-watched the Swedish mini-series The Pirate Bay. It was pleasant to dive into the early 2000s when we still believed in an utopian Internet of freedom and access to culture for everyone. Recommended 👍 www.imdb.com/title/tt2744... (Sad to see where we have ended though) #tvshow

I’m still amazed by those conversions that were released on #Amstrad CPC in the early 90s. it was really a machine that never wanted to die. This “demake” of Final Fight is not even that bad 😅

Solved my music #streaming platform change dilemma! I am settling on #Qobuz. It checks almost all the boxes: It's not a GAMAM, supports HiRes in Linux, works perfectly with a DAC on iOS. The only one I'm missing is the Connect protocol, but there's hope it gets released "soon"! Go Qobuz!

I am coming from Apple Music and looking for a streaming service that integrates well with a Wiim Ultra (as in has a "Connect" protocol), has no issues with bit depth/sample rate on iOS with a DAC, has lossless, is not Amazon/Google and supports Linux... There you go, it doesn't exist!
