848 - 04/16/23 Bobby Blackwolf Show - 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.
