Nintendo will raise the price of its original Switch console in the U.S. beginning Sunday, the company said Friday in a statement posted to its website. Nintendo attributed the changes to "market conditions.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/02/tech/nintendo-us-pricing-original-switch-hardware/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #nintendo #us #trade #tariffs #switch #videogames

Nintendo sold more than 6 million units of its Switch 2 console over its first seven weeks on sale, but kept its full-year forecast unchanged. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/01/companies/nintendo-switch-2-forecast-unchanged/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nintendo #videogames

Yo! Today's #BandcampFriday. I don't have anything new, but try something you haven't heard from my #bandcamp, it sure would mean a lot!

(BTW, I'm moving part of @bloopmuseum to its new spot today, where I have more room to work on new #music!)

Since Mario Paint is back in the zeitgeist thanks to the Switch 2, I decided to boot up my old copy and see what I had saved on it.
Sadly it's blank, I'll have to replace the battery in this cart like I did the others 🥲

Scores of gamemakers traveled to Kyoto for a three-day indie game expo that began Friday, hoping to ride the wave of the Switch 2's success. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/19/tech/indie-game-studios-switch-2/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #switch2 #nintendo #videogames

The Tokyo-based Game Preservation Society archives floppy disks, 2000s phone games and other archaic media, but it has a warning for modern digital downloads, too: “When the service is gone, so are the games.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/07/12/digital/games-preservation-floppy-disks-retro/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #digital #videogames #nintendo #sony

It might be a long shot, but I have to try.

If there is anyone out there with a scanner, who has issue 11 of Total! magazine, would you be willing to scan a part of a page for me.

Below is the cover of this issue as well as the affected page.
A previous owner has cut out a coupon on the opposite side.
That side is no issue as the ad is reprinted in the following issue as well, which I have, so I can replace that easily.

The problem is page number 61, where the bottom review for a Super Nintendo game is also gone.
If anyone can get me a clean scan of this part, I'd be able to complete this magazine without any missing sections.
