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.
You’re just scamming yourself at this point
That’s kind of what I’m saying. Doing it for my kids though. They’re worth every penny. They love Mario.
Bragging with financial stupidity.
But where you are right now it’s like saying “I voted conservative” in the highest amount of democratic voters where you’ll get lynched for voted conservative.
I’m… I’m not bragging though? It’s just another situation/combination, like I said. And it’s been years now since I bought the 3D All Stars games, over time this doesn’t amount to a lot of money per year, or especially per month. My kids play all the time. The games have almost paid for themselves. 🥰 Watching them experience what I did when I was a kid. It’s been great.
Are people angry that I somehow “wasted” my money? I don’t get it.
Dunno.
But (I feel like) every cent paid to Nintendo is too much.
They make great games (at times) but demand so much more for so little progress it’s not quite justifiable anymore.And some of Lemmy (probably) feel similar to that sentiment.
Edit: And if you have the money to justify the purchase, then feel free. If it makes you and your kids happy even more so :)
I agree that Nintendo is crummy for the price tag, and it’s a smoke screen for not having any AAA Mario or Zelda ready for the new console. But my nostalgia and my kids are just simply winning. It’s definitely a 🥰🤮 kind of situation. Can’t help myself. Icky…

Cool, thanks… I’m doing it for my kids. I know full well I’m being scammed. But my love for my kids doesn’t care. I love playing these games together with them and it’s worth every penny.
I got a Wii for $20 and it runs Mario Galaxy from the SD card for free
I have bought them so many times… But it makes me want to play it again with Dolphin.
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? 🥺”

Doesn’t every AAA do that these days?
Some publishers call it a “battle pass” or “seasons” instead.
Why couldn’t you believe that? So many other games announce whole season passes before launch. This is super common.
Ridiculous pricing.
emulators and piracy save the day yet again
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.
Fuck Nintendo
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

That’s about what they launched at…
