This week on Rushdown Radio, we take Nintendo, Ubisoft, and Sony to task in a news cycle that’s equal parts clownery and chaos. Doug Bowser finally responds to the backlash over Switch 2 pricing — but does it actually help? Ubisoft doubles down in court, insisting you don’t really own your games, and Bungie’s latest look at Marathon has folks wondering if it’s just Concord 2.0.
Meanwhile, Shuhei Yoshida throws shade at Nintendo for losing its identity… while Sony quietly hikes prices and rereleases The Last of Us (again). We also warn you about a fake Witcher 4 beta invite making the rounds, and point out the baffling fact that Breath of the Wild on Switch 2 doesn’t support cloud saves or include its paid DLC.
Oh — and Nintendo’s raising accessory prices while keeping preorders locked at MSRP. Because… why not?
