The new Switch 2 costs $450, which is $150 more expensive than the original model. Accessories are also quite pricey, and some games, like Mario Kart World, are surprisingly expensive at $79.99 – a price point rarely seen for standard video games. This raised concerns that other companies might also start charging $80 for games. While Xbox tried this, it didn’t go well and appeared to discourage others from following suit.
Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther and Creed, is set to reboot The X-Files. While Coogler is a talented filmmaker, many fans cherish the dynamic between Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny’s characters, and a reboot risks losing that magic and feeling like a diminished version of the original. Disney clearly has confidence in Coogler following his film successes and is moving forward with a live-action remake. However, for a series like The X-Files, Disney might be better off leveraging its strengths in animation rather than pursuing another live-action adaptation.

The monthly cost of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also increased to $30, making it one of the pricier subscription services available. On top of that, consoles themselves have become more expensive, with price increases for both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which now retails for around $650. But it’s not just consoles that are becoming harder on the wallet.

That’s why Ys Origin still feels like a brilliant decision almost two decades later. Instead of simply continuing the story, Falcom cleverly went back to explore the series’ origins. Ys Origin explains the backstory that connects to the first two games, offering enough information to give players a solid understanding without being a complete retread. More role-playing games could learn from this approach and provide helpful context for established, ongoing narratives.
