You Should Get All Those Switch 2 Accessories Now Before They Get Even More Expensive

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-14 10:01:34

The situation surrounding Trump tariffs hasn’t eased its pressure on Nintendo. Even as the Switch 2 has become one of the fastest-selling consoles ever, the Mario maker said that select Switch 2 accessories may see price “adjustments” starting Aug 3. Not only that, but the original Switch and Switch OLED could cost more going forward. I guess we shouldn’t say we told you so, but even we didn’t expect to witness original Switch models selling for $40 or $50 more than before. In a news post, Nint

Nintendo hiking price of original Switch for U.S. customers

It will impact the original Switch console, Switch Lite and OLED models, as well as some Switch accessories. The price of the Switch 2 console, along with physical and digital Switch and Switch games, will remain the same for now, Nintend

Nintendo won’t say it’s raising Switch prices, but it’s raising Switch prices

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Prices for the original Nintendo Switch family of products will change in the US on August 3, 2025. The reason is attributed to market conditions in the US. Other products, like certain Switch 2 accessories, select amiibo, and the Alarmo clock, will also see price adjustments. Normally, after a new console launches, the previous system will see a price cut. It appears Nintendo is preparing to do the opposite with the original Switch. And it looks like

Superhero Movies Have Stopped Obsessing Over Origins

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-12-24 20:30:37

There’s a repeating theme across 2025’s major superhero movies—Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, Superman, and Fantastic Four: First Steps. All four have interesting, sometimes conflicting relationships with time and how far along their characters are into their superhero tenures, making these movies simultaneous continuations and introductions. Time has always been a key part of superhero movies, and it used to be that their starting points could be whenever a creative team chose

I used Suno AI to cover my own demo album

How I used Suno AI to cover my own demo album When I was young and had too much free time, I used to write and record music. I wasn’t very successful—mostly because I couldn’t sing or play any instruments. The songs always ended up sounding much worse than they did in my head. But now, it turns out I can just feed my old demo songs to AI and ask it to do a better job. So that’s what I did—and the result exceeded all my expectations.

The Gottorf Globe and its reconstruction

The Gottorf Globe was known as an astronomic marvel some 350 years ago. The first planetarium in history is a synonym for Friedrich III’s cosmopolitanism, under whose sovereignty Gottorf became one of North Europe’s most significant royal courts and a cultural centre. The virtually authentic replication, now located close to the Museum Island, still doesn’t cease to impress visitors. Casually expressed, Friedrich III wanted to understand the connection between the earth and the sky. Thus, the s

There Has Never Been a Better Time to Revisit the Original ‘Gundam’

Gundam has spent nearly 50 years reinventing itself across myriad side stories, new universes, and reimaginings of the story that started it all in the events of the “Universal Century” that kicked off in the original 1979 series Mobile Suit Gundam. There are so many ways to get into the franchise, newer starting points, perhaps less intimidating starting points than a 43-episode TV series.

So much of Gundam GQuuuuuuX‘s riffing on the legacy of the 1979 original across its 12 episodes has been almost about a yearning sense of inevitability that it could only end in one way—a retread of what came before narratively, and a continuation of the cycle of conflict that has broadly defined the franchise at large and the Universal Century setting that GQuuuuuuX played with in particular. But in its final episode, GQuuuuuuX played with its nostalgic sensibilities one last time to imagine fo
