>Jonathan Frakes enters frame slowly, holding a red-and-white Switch Joy-Con. He spins it once in his hand like a coin, then holds it up.
"For years, Nintendo games launched at the same price: sixty dollars. It didn’t matter if it was a sprawling open-world epic or a re-release of a GameCube classic — the price tag stayed the same. Stable. Predictable. Familiar."
>He places the Joy-Con down beside a stack of old game cases. Then, picking up a new one marked $79.99, he raises an eyebrow.
"But something changed. A new generation, a new console... a new price. Eighty dollars. Twenty extra — no explanation, no warning. And the most unsettling part? Nobody questioned it."
>He steps toward the camera, voice low and deliberate.
"But what if it wasn’t just inflation... or corporate greed? What if the willingness to pay more was something else entirely? What if this wasn’t a choice... but a spell?"
>Pause. Frakes leans slightly forward, expression unreadable.
"Is this the story of a harmless price increase... or a tale of consumer devotion turned dark?"

Exactly. Miyamoto's like that wizard locked in a tower watching his creations get turned into gacha-minigame hybrids while Nintendo's new execs ask if Mario can be NFT-compatible. Dude just wanted to make fun platformers and now he's unknowingly the face of a $70 re-release of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat with online leaderboards.

miyamoto has been corner officed for years and they finally just erased him
japanese companies do this thing where they won't get rid of old employees but instead put them a lavishly nice office away from everybody else, where hopefully they will stay until they just die or leave on their own terms. iirc it costs the company more to pay pensions and they can't fire people with tenure, but they can make them irrelevant to daily operations and that's what they did with miyamoto.
