Why stop at $70?
Charge the useful idiots as much as they’re willing to pay!
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.
Ridiculous pricing.
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.
Nintendo knows they don’t have to give a shit
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
emulators and piracy save the day yet again
I got a Wii for $20 and it runs Mario Galaxy from the SD card for free
I have a PC with the Dolphin emulator that runs both of them for free.
I just imagine the game in my head
The highest compute cost.
in 2020, they made people pay 60$ for 3 old games. people thought it was ridiculous.
in 2025, they’re making you pay 70$ for 2 old games.
lmao
One of them being literally the exact same game they sold in 2020
And then there’s me, who bought the trilogy, and will now buy the duology, so I’m getting 4 games for $130.
rofl mark.
Hmm?
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.
I have bought them so many times… But it makes me want to play it again with Dolphin.
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.
Romm
Looks awesome. Every platform you say? reads more Ah shit, looks like they’re gonna make me learn Docker… Someday
They also say game progress sync is coming. My iPhone does that in Delta. It’s awesome. I can show someone a game I’m playing. Doesn’t matter what. I save with a save state. Give it a minute. Uninstall the app. It’s gone. All the games, gone. Reinstall the app. Empty library. Go into Settings. Connect my Google Drive. Wait a minute. Games sync. Open same game, load the state. Right where I left off. That shit is awesome. And it being Apple, I can AirDrop the game to another iPhone user, and they can add it right to their own library. Sadly, it’s iOS only — the emulator itself runs on a Mac, but it doesn’t run very well. Mac actually has a great emulator too, but it doesn’t sync with anything. If only I could get it to sync with my MacBook.
Something that syncs across all the platforms would be, like, the Holy Grail. (Actually you can kinda rig it with SyncThing, as like a proof of concept, I linked two Macs running the Switch emulator and they were able to play the same Animal Crossing island. Not at the same time, of course, but when one saves, it syncs, and the other can open it… due to the way Switches save, this is not very reliable at all!)
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.
