    in 2020, they made people pay 60$ for 3 old games. people thought it was ridiculous.

    in 2025, they’re making you pay 70$ for 2 old games.

    lmao

      And then there’s me, who bought the trilogy, and will now buy the duology, so I’m getting 4 games for $130.

      Edit: why down vote this? Can you explain why this is off topic or otherwise down vote worthy? I’m not saying I’m being smart with these purchases 😆 I’m just saying it’s another situation. I’m buying these games for my kids as they love Mario.

      And why wouldn’t you? Resolution and framerate are the same either way… and I think you can even play with a real Wiimote on Dolphin, instead of the shitty Joy-Con motion controls.

      So it’s basically $70 for… what? New pages in Rosalina’s storybook? Lmao no thanks.

      Nintendo’s greed is staggering, this generation. I couldn’t believe they announced the Pokémon Legends DLC before the game is even out. “I know you haven’t given us your money yet, but… please can we have some more? 🥺”

        Why couldn’t you believe that? So many other games announce whole season passes before launch. This is super common.

        Doesn’t every AAA do that these days?

      Do it. I have a dedicated Ubuntu server with a bunch of docker instances on it. one of them being Romm. I just upload all my roms to it and I can play any game in any browser on any device connected to the internet. I have NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, PSX, PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn, Jaguar, 3DO, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Gameboy/Color, GBA, DS, etc, etc, etc all ready to go.

      Don’t shell out $70 again to play these. they’re already available free o charge online. Just set up dolphin and have at it.

    I just don’t understand the idea behind releasing Galaxy 1 as part of a three pack, and then again as part of a two pack on the same console.

    I mean I get that the idea is money. But I don’t understand why this appeals to anyone.

    They are really good games that me and my siblings enjoyed a lot. I‘ll probably replay them again one day but on a computer.

    Why stop at $70?

    Charge the useful idiots as much as they’re willing to pay!

    I’ll do it like 12 million other people and just buy it on day 1, but I’ll be one of the 3 million who get the card
