That's just eye fatigue and it happens to everyone, regardless of the screen. Especially true if playing before bed or when tired.

As expected - price increase starting on Sept. 1st. They're giving a decent heads up about it at least.

Pre-COVID economy seems like a dream now. 'Member decreasing console prices?

Meanwhile the 9 year old Switch still costs more than it did at launch in 2017.

Looks like I'll be buying one this summer now. Lol. That's awesome that they gave notice. I won't argue that they'd need to with the cost of materials skyrocketing right now.

A 4 month notice is crazy lol. Better than Sony's 3 day notice.

I just bought one today. I didn't see it wasn't until September 1. It's only a $50 increase, though. They have a deal going for $500 to get Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 for $500 right now, so I went with that. Not interested in Mario Kart World.

Mario Kart World fell off so hard. All the people I know that hold casual tournaments and such went back to MK8 Deluxe. Which is kinda sad considering how old that game is now. MK World desperately needs some additional races and events to fill out that big ass map full of nothing.

You mean they got an open world racing game and they don't let you plot your own courses? And they don't have many of their own?

In their initial video reveals they specifically mentioned creating and joining custom race routes in the overworld, but that was apparently "a misunderstanding." They'll probably add a few new characters, an additional cup, and those features for $50 in a couple years.
