{链接已删除}Annapurna Interactive and award-winning Australian studio {链接已删除}Beethoven & Dinosaur launched Mixtape[/url], a narrative-driven adventure gameset to the soundtrack of a generation. And the game is scoring pretty high with the critics.

I’ve played parts of the game and it has the signature humor of Johnny Galvatron, founder of the studio Beethoven & Dinosaur. I’ve interviewed him about the teen angst game {链接已删除}here and {链接已删除}here.

Mixtape follows three high school friends on their last night of adventure. En route to their final party together, a perfectly curated playlist draws the trio into dreamlike reenactments of their formative memories. Experience a variety of narrative vignettes exploring the pivotal moments that shaped them. It’s the greatest hits of the teenage wasteland, from the first kiss to the last dance.

From Beethoven & Dinosaur, developers of BAFTA award-winning game The Artful Escape, Mixtape draws inspiration from classic coming-of-age movies, bringing together nostalgic aimlessness, mischief, music, the highs and lows of adolescence, and the bittersweet feelings brought about by growth, transformation, and moving on.

The game’s eclectic soundtrack features music from iconic artists like DEVO, Roxy Music, Lush, The Smashing Pumpkins, Iggy Pop, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, and The Cure.

Nintendo announced as part of its earnings report that it’s raising the price of the Switch 2 globally, as well as the prices of other Nintendo products in Japan. In the U.S., the Switch 2 is going from $449.99 to $499.99. Canada will see a similar $50 increase, while Europe will see a €30 increase. These prices will go into effect on September 1.

The company cited “changes in market conditions, and … the global business outlook” as the reasons for the change, adding that “the impact of various changes in market conditions is expected to extend over the medium to long term.” It adds at the end of the release: “We sincerely apologize for the impact these price revisions may have on our customers and other stakeholders, and we deeply appreciate your understanding.”

The “market conditions” referenced is likely the ongoing shortage of certain materials, most notably RAM and storage. Nintendo’s peers, Xbox and PlayStation, have both increased the prices of their consoles, citing similar reasons. RAM has become particularly difficult to come by as supplies are being redirected to artificial intelligence servers.

Nintendo noted that it expects sales to decline in the next fiscal year, adding that the Switch 2’s sales were more concentrated in launch year than previously released hardware. In total, the Switch 2 has sold just under 20 million units as of this fiscal quarter.
