"We Couldn't Believe It" - Man's Forgotten Pokémon Collection Sells For $2 Million
Money where your Meowth is. We've heard all kinds of wild Pokémon resale stories over the years, but this one might just be the craziest of the bunch and has left us ringing our parents telling them to get up in the loft and look for our old collections again. Last week, we heard that a man from Woking, UK, had received an eye-watering £1.56 million (a little over $2 million) at auction for his classic Pokémon collection. The best part is, he had no idea that the TCG was such a big deal these days. Read the full article on nintendolife.com

Paris Games Biz showcased a guarded optimism in the face of turmoil, both locally and in the industry at large | Opinion
The games industry has spent several years persisting in the face of commercial and financial turmoil; to that it has now added civil unrest as a small group of publishers, investors, and developers gathered for the third Paris Game Biz in a city still undergoing widespread public protests . The short walk from hotel to the venue in the 2nd Arondissement was studded with shattered shop windows, soot patches and the melted remains of waste bins and shared bicycles; the official party took place with dozens of police vans parked outside, packed with officers there to enforce a curfew that, fortunately, encircled an area just beyond.

220,000-signatory petition to "save Mass Effect" doesn't mention BioWare, suggests giving Mass Effect 5 to somebody else
The word "BioWare" does not appear in a recent Change.org petition asking EA to "save Mass Effect ", which has gained around 220,000 signatories as of writing. The nearest the petition gets is an allusion to "recent revelations" that have "cast a shadow over its future", which is a remarkably gentle way of saying that the parent company shanked the creators to balance their books, after going into historic debt. Still, one can hardly reproach the petition organisers for not mentioning BioWare - after all, EA announced that they were closing BioWare a whole four days ago, and the funeral baked meats must coldly furnish forth the pitchdeck. There are other videogame studios, aren't there? Just get one of them to make the thing. Maybe Owlcat, developers of the Mass Effect-flavoured The Expanse: Osiris Reborn , who've shared the Change.org petition on their socials . Read more

"I Can't Create A Battle Like This" - Miyamoto On The Origins Of NES Mario's Non-Violent Bowser 'Fights'
Lava to see it. We imagine that most of you here will have heard of a little game called Super Mario Bros. , right? But how many of you have thought about how strange the big showdowns with Bowser are? As far as 'boss battles' are concerned, there's very little... battling. Well, in a recent press conference celebrating his Order of Culture award , Shigeru Miyamoto explained the thought process behind the game's jump-based finales. "The most intriguing aspect of Super Mario, is that Mario doesn’t actually fight Bowser," Miyamoto told press at the conference (translated by Nintendo Everything ), "Normally, if there’s a boss at the end, you have to fight him, right? But creating a battle is difficult, and we were really struggling with how to do it." Read the full article on nintendolife.com
