Nintendo: releases a $60 package of emulated games that are better played elsewhere

Everyone except anyone who's rational: loud applause

    Yeah well a lot of people don't have retro consoles and playing them with some graphical improvements for 60$ on a Nintendo switch is great

    >graphical improvements 

    Just don't compare them to the final fantasy game that got remastered or the multitude of other remasters

    Or Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2... or Halo: The Master Chief Collection... or SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. 

    Nintendo shat out these ports with not a lot of effort. The community has done a better job at making improvements on all the games compared to the pig's mouth. Mario 64 has been playable at 60fps with patches in emulators for ages. Super Mario Sunshine has been the same way. Surely they could've done that and it would've changed the game and actually made the package a little more appealing.

    If they didn't at least improve the Mario Sunshine, I ain't buying it.

    And since they are purposefully creating a shortage, I am probably never buying it.

     

    Unless I find it for a decent price sometime in the  future.

    Only thing that Mario Sunshine got were Switch button prompts and better quality FMVs.

    Also Nintendo: haha, we know you guys  love this game, go buy it again with little to no changes!!!

    Also also Nintendo: I heard y'all like artificial shortages on plastic figures with NFC chips ;) how 'bout we do it again!

    I genuinely can't believe the audacity of Nintendo to release 3D All-Stars the way they're releasing them when it's just emulation and slight touch-ups of the games. 

    They make good games, but by god, they're just as boneheaded as EA is, sometimes.

    It's just the audacity of Nintendo in some aspects that pisses me off.

    so many products from them feel rushed just because "well the Nintendroids will buy it anyways!".

     

    that's partially why I am glad why Metroid Prime 4's development got scrapped and the project was handed over to Retro Studios (which should have been the dev in the first place). it's one of the few Nintendo subsiaries that seems to mostly care about the games they are making ('mostly' because DK Country Returns 3D was kind of weird and because Mario Kart 7 could have been better).

    they are not like the devs behind Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe), Mario Party New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe or even Pokemon. These seem to mostly not care about their games, or about the content given. they just care about shitting out a new game for people to buy.

     

    funny you compared Nintendo with EA, because if I remember correctly they both used a guilt method to get people to buy their games.

    if I remember correctly, EA did this with Dead Space; guilting people for not buying this game series enough for it to go on.

     

    same happened with Nintendo and Chibi-Robo. That was of course a small GameCube game, which they then made a sequel on the DS, but made it a very limited release (only certain retailers if memory serves me right). Then they made a 3DS 2D platformer game, which was nothing like the GameCube game.

    Then Nintendo started guilting the fans like "oh if people don't buy this game, this is the last Chibi Robo game!", so people who didn't want this style of game.. first didn't buy it, because they don't want to support this style of game, but then bought it anyways to "save Chibi Robo!"

    Last we saw Chibi Robo was in Smash Bros. Ultimate as a 'cameo' (tropy, like there are hundreds in that game).

     

    so my point is, Nintendo promotes lazy games and guilts their fanbase in buying things they don't want.
