Gamnesia: "As the games industry continues to diversify, we see great strides in the further integration of individuals atypical to the average white male. Some of the best contributors to sites like Kotaku and IGN are women. Some of the largest gaming franchises, such as Assassin’s Creed or God of War, are also headed up by women. Games retail has become another area that’s seen dramatic growth in female integration. In Texas, retailers such as GameOver VideoGames have embraced women as leads, helping diversify the sales experience to allow broader connections with an expanding consumer base. Yet, as great as it sounds on a periphery level to see women enter this retail space, seldom have stories been told highlighting their experiences. I sat down with a female GameStop employee to gain insight on what it’s like to work in a male-centric environment."
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has officially confirmed this morning that the successor to the Nintendo Switch will be announced within this fiscal year which runs until March 2025.
I'm excited for a switch 2 however I don't feel it will be coming this year as per the tweet in they are commuting to a reveal in this Japanese financial year in 2025.
Realistically we will get one last holiday season to focus on the switch because it would be madness for Nintendo to go into the holidays where the switch always performs well when they have announced a switch 2.
I'm thinking we see a announcement late Jan 25 personally with a release between March and June depending on when the software is ready and how strong the holday sales were if they need to boost those figures for the next earnings call or not

Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
sure, discourage women for working at game stop because of some douchbags/s. im not saying it rarely happens but things like sexual harassment should be reported, not doing anything about it makes it your fault for it continuing to happen.
and the headset question incident, well, guys hear better than girls but girls see colors better, so i would have went with the guys decision too. thats not always the case, but its pretty stupid to think a guy isnt going to take another mans word for something they know they share the same interest in. its like a girl asking a guy for beauty advice, sure he may have an idea, but if there is another woman on hand she is most likely going to ask her too and go with her opinion.
Gamestop will be the next Blockbuster in 10 or more years. Advice to investor buy and make sure you sell in a couple years. I mean look at Gamestops stock fell when Xbox announced DRM console.
Im srry but I don't feel srry for this woman or any other woman that works at that company. Everytime I see a female gamestop employee. They're using their breast to get sales. The last time I went to gamestop, there was this female employee who literally had her huge breast in my face. I was shocked and disgusted on how she was dressed at work. I refused to be served by her and allowed someone to skip me because I did not want this girl to get any money or credit from me.
The company is not responsible for this. I absolutely HATED working for GameStop, but this is not the company's fault. All journalism, whether it be important world issues or gaming, eventually becomes this drivel.
I blame this article on coolbeans for starting up a blogpost about sexism. DAMN YOU COOLBEANS!
Seriously, this needs to stop. The next thing we'll have is "how women are mistreated on youtube gaming channels."
ENOUGH!!!
