Nintendo's Secret for the Switch 2? Ignore the Extremely Online
Online, gamers declared the Switch 2 'anti-consumer.' In reality, no one cared.
With Nintendo Co. charging $450 for its new device — and up to $80 for some games — influencers and TikTokers took to their accounts to warn it was too expensive. Across social media, others decried how new terms of service gave the Japanese firm the ability to remotely disable the latest machine if they detected unauthorized activity. Many games sold in physical packages were, they complained, glorified download codes.

‘Ultimate Dancouga' From ‘Super Robot Wars 30' Gets An Epic Chogokin
CCS Toys is doing a hefty toy of Ultimate Dancouga. Introduced in the DLC for Super Robot Wars 30, the suitably beefy Ultimate Dancouga is getting a hefty chogokin courtesy of CCS Toys this September. This toy of Ultimate Dancouga is not to be confused with the version from Good Smile Company coming out next year. Unlike that toy, this version has no combination or transformation gimmicks and is a straight-up action figure, albeit one with a lot of die-cast involved. Admittedly, in Super Robot Wars 30, we never got to see Ultimate Dancouga actually combine. It was only after Good Smile Company announced their version that we knew that Ultimate Dancouga was comprised of two mecha: the titular Dancouga and the all-new Dairyuga. The latter's beast form is also that of a dragon, hence its name. Obviously, as the Good Smile Company version transforms and combines, the price tag is an awful lot higher, which brings me to the great news about this CCS Toys version. Around 26 cm in height and featuring a lot of die-cast, the price tag is only 33,000 yen (before tax). That's around $227 at the current exchange rate, and an awful lot cheaper than other chogokins of this scale and complexity. To give some context, I have a few CCS Toys chogokins and all of them are gloriously good. Their Gurren Lagann and Mazinger Zero are especially notable. The die-cast used is not only in the joints but also in the frame, which gives excellent stability and durability for posing. The sculpts are also very well done, and it seems that this version of Ultimate Dancouga is very much in line with prior CCS Toys releases. In any case, Dancouga is probably my favorite super robot anime, and I can thoroughly recommend the recent Blu-ray release as well. While this CCS Toys version of Ultimate Dancouga won't be coming Westward, you will be able to pick it up from places such as HobbyLink Japan once it becomes available, as they've stocked their toy releases in the past. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.

Tesla Makes 2 Big Moves for Its Future
Tesla set its sights on the world's third-largest auto market. Tesla's robotaxi ambitions kicked off with a pilot service in Austin. If successful long-term, robotaxis could multiply Tesla's current valuation. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › It's been a fairly wild ride for Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) in 2025. With sales falling in key markets, a brutal price war in China, and consumer backlash against CEO Elon Musk dipping his toes in the political pool, there's been plenty of bad news to digest. Pushing that aside for a second, however, let's take a look at the electric vehicle (EV) maker's recent moves to boost sales and set up its robotaxi future. Tesla's setting up to make a move in the world's third-largest automotive market as the EV maker aims to offset falling sales around the globe by opening showrooms in India next month. Already, Tesla Model Ys are arriving in India, shipped from Tesla's China factory. While this might seem like a sudden move, it's actually the culmination of many years of considering entering the market, and pulling back due to disagreements over tariffs and manufacturing. That seemed to change when Musk met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the U.S. last February. This won't be an easy task for Tesla, however. Due to tariffs the Model Y is expected to go on sale in India around $56,000 before taxes and insurance. This compares to $44,990 for the same model in the U.S. market, which drops to $37,490 with tax credits applied -- for however long that lasts. Further, India's EV share of its automotive market is just over 5%, and premium cars represent less than 2% market share. It's a good move for Tesla, and a logical one, especially considering China's automotive production overcapacity problem -- although it's less a problem for Tesla -- and sending vehicles from China to India helps. But investors would also be wise to temper growth expectations; the market isn't exactly ripe for the picking when it comes to expensive EVs. After years of promising, the moment has finally arrived for Tesla's robotaxi ambitions. Over the weekend Tesla launched a small pilot robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, which some believe is the beginning of a much more lucrative business thesis for the automaker. "We attended Tesla's robotaxi launch ... and got the opportunity to take multiple rides in a robotaxi," Wedbush Securities said in a research note June 22, according to Automotive News. "Overall, these robotaxis exceeded our expectations and offered a seamless and personalized travel experience that has lit the spark for autonomous driving." For investors, the development of Tesla's robotaxi business could define its future. Already Tesla's market capitalization is over $1.1 trillion, more than many of its automotive competitors combined, and Musk has said the company's pivot to AI, robotics, and robotaxis will multiply that valuation several times. Tesla's robotaxi pilot included short drives in a limited geofenced area for a flat fee of $4.20, and while the vehicles were fully autonomous there was a safety monitor in the cars for safety precautions. Considering some of the missteps and problems of its competition, the company was probably wise to promote safety first. The robotaxi pilot might have been small, and Tesla opening showrooms in India won't move the needle in the near term, but these were both smart moves for Tesla and its investors. Being able to export vehicles from China amid a brutal price war and overcapacity gives the company flexibility, and keeping investors enticed with a potentially lucrative robotaxi future was important. While there's plenty of bad news for Tesla investors to digest, don't overlook the small positive moves its made recently as well.
