Switch physical release reprint VGP

VGP – or VideoGamesPlus – has started to make more noise in the video game space over the past few years. While the Canadian retailer has been selling games for awhile, it’s also now become known for restocks of physical releases on Switch. Titles that were generally sold out elsewhere or are hard to come by have been returning at VGP on a regular basis.

Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP. Note that while the retailer is based in Canada, shipping is available in various regions including the United States and the UK. Also, keep in mind that some restocks sell out quickly so you may want to make a move sooner rather than later if you’re interested in a particular game.


Nintendo suing streamer

Nintendo has been known to take game piracy very seriously, and yet another example of that is now happening with the company’s lawsuit against a streamer.

The heart of the case involves Jesse Keighin – also known as EveryGameGuru – who is claimed to have streamed pirated and emulated Nintendo Switch games, including some prior to launch. Matters were made worse when Keighin continued his actions even after his channels were shut down, informed his audience about how to pirate games, and teased the company. Nintendo said in its lawsuit: “On October 24, 2024, after certain platforms had taken down his unlawful streams as a result of Nintendo’s enforcement actions, he sent Nintendo a letter boasting that he has ‘a thousand burner channels’ to stream from and [he] ‘can do this all day.'”

Shigeru Miyamoto genius

All sorts of questions are brought up during Nintendo’s financial results briefing Q&A, and this week one investor brought up how he believes Shigeru Miyamoto is able to produce hit games because he’s a genius. Miyamoto was also asked about what he discusses during a talk to new employees every year.

Miyamoto began his response by saying that he doesn’t think he’s a “genius”, but instead feels he’s “quite ordinary.” As for his talk, it’s intended to teach developers that “game design is about planning” and “about observing the world around us and figuring out how to assemble those elements into an engaging video game.”

Miyamoto said the following:

Nintendo development costs

During Nintendo’s financial results briefing and Corporate Management Policy Briefing this week, the company was asked about rising development costs, which has become a bit of an issue within the games industry. A few people weighed in here – namely Shigeru Miyamoto, senior managing executive officer Shinya Takahashi, senior executive officer Ko Shiota, and president Shuntaro Furukawa.

A few different things were shared here, and they were all quite interesting. Miyamoto started out by talking about how Nintendo’s “research and development expenses have been increasing each year.” At the same time, he stressed that what the company creates is more important than development costs.
