Sega To Buy Rovio, Nintendo Live Event In September
- I share some historical computer game finds that I have found cleaning out my childhood home, including some advertisements about Commodore 64 adventure games and how much they would cost in 2023 dollars.
- Sega is set to buy Rovio Entertainment, the makers of Angry Birds. (This has since been confirmed.)
- However, a more interesting story is how Rovio is trying to run away from the original Angry Birds by delisting it and pointing people to more microtransaction-heavy sequels rather than the $1 original.
- A new in-person event called "Nintendo Live" is coming to Seattle in September, which is something they've done in Japan over the past few decades but never in the US.
- Then we talk to Rob about Rovio and Nintendo Live.
