    What other wii port is there on Switch besides SS is there, & at full price?

    Also every wii u port has been accepted due to most not having a wii u, & all wii u ports have came with entirely new expansions on top of what it is already. And the Wii U was only last gen, while the wii is now 2 gens ago.

    Still bullshit, but still a way better deal & makes way more sense with the wii u games over skyward, & most people simply dont like ss.

    He's deadass wrong imo.

    SS isn’t bad it’s just not as good as TP, WW, OOT or MM so it feels like a weird choice on Nintendo’s part

    Is this a typo? I’m guessing he meant 3D World not galaxy... because this tweet makes no sense

    Galaxy was 1 game in a 3 game collection so that s*** made sense for $60 at least

    No he meant that after putting mario galaxy, a wii game, in a collection of 3 games for 60$ (so it virtually costs 20$) putting skyward sword, another wii game, at 60$ alons feels scummy

    People got mad about wii u ports being 60$ i can guarantee you, its something i always found it funny how people complain yet they havent played most of these ports

    Its because Nintendo has some of the strongest IPs in gaming, they sell a lot more than most games and that goes for ports too.
    If you're planning on playing skyward sword, if the controls are done right id suggest playing it with motion controls at least once, my favorite thing about the game were the motion controls and moving the sword around

    Who said im gonna buy it lmaoooo i already own it on wii. If people want to spend 60$ so be it and if people dont thats fine with me too, i dont care what others do with their money. They're not looking at what a minority of people think, the reality of the matter is that ports sell more than their original counterpart and that's all that matters to a company. If sony or microsoft's ips had as much legs as nintendo's they'd be doing the same cause they want money. Also, we dont know anything about the remaster aside from it being 1080p 60fps, so it could be worth the price or not.
    Like ive said with 3d all stars, if you dont wanna pay dont buy it and move on, we're all making it a bigger deal than it is. The consumers decide the worth of the product, and if the product doesnt sell they're gonna lower the price

    Only buying SS if I find it somewhere second hand for like 20 euros
    No way in hell am I paying 60 euros for a 10 year old game lmao

    bro other companies def got the legs, like youre telling me that when they released the metal gear solid HD colection they wouldnt have still sold 1 by 1? or the jak collections? just off top btw

    the upscale is not that drastic and you should stop excusing anti-consumer descisions with they can make money. of course they can make money s***ty business practices like this have an effect a lot of years down the line insted of in the short term.

    people make a big deal out of all stars because it shouldnt cost $60 on a time frame to play roms just because a company doesnt wanna make their old products available

  • Feb 19, 2021

    These are all useless discussions cause the numbers speak for themselves: all ports ever released on switch sold more than their counterparts, every single time, with mario kart 8 selling 4 times what it sold on wii u and mario bros u deluxe selling 10 million. As long as the numbers stay like this nintendo gonna keep selling ports for 60$. Its the same for iphones, as long as people are willing to spend 1200$ for a new iphone (they do) apple has 0 reason to lower prices cause they lose money

    Has metal Gear solid collection sold 10 million copies on 1 console? I doubt its even reached it now in 2021. If last of us was at 20 million copies sold like zelda or mario are they would still sell it at full price.
    And im not defending s***, where did i say nintendo was doing the right thing and where did i praise them? Ive criticzed 3d all stars cause it was scummy as hell and if it wasnt for my friends surprisingly gifting it to me for christmas i would've never bought it. Whats anti consumer to me is consumer friendly to someone else, i find no value to skyward sword hd even if it has all the content in the world cause i already have it, but for a zelda fan who hasnt played it and really wants to it may be a good price.
    Just because im looking at it from a business/logic point of view doesnt mean im defending nintendo. I always criticize them for stupid s*** (and believe me, they've done quite a few stupid s*** since ive been a nintendo fan) but if i find a game overpriced i wont pay, its simple as that

    Also why are people assuming skyward sword wont have anything? Reserve judgement for when we get new info

    ok so you accept thats it pretty scummy and you wont buy it

    but just hypothetically wouldnt it be sick if they werent overpriced? epically from a company that makes pretty random non financially motivated business decisions like nintendo?

    we've all done econ and we know supply and demand broski but sometimes goods have value beyond their immediate monetary worth so if being a responsible company to consumers isnt a good enough motivator then offering products at a good price also increases their reputation in the long term.

    clearly they can keep doing it because they are but if people like you defend them by saying they can do what they want because they'll make money they arent exactly gonna be feeling the heat from consumers because the discourse for change isn't open

    We 2 can go outside of Nintendo HQ with a big ass sign that says "STOP SCAMMING US NINTENDO!" and nothing would change. Ive made my mind up that if a product is not worth the money im willing to pay i wont buy it. Easy as that. And with skyward sword there are 3 other options to play it: wii, wii u or emulation. I would love if all games were for 40$ or less so i could afford more of them, that is not the case and i'll live with that. It doesnt affect me if i miss skyward sword or i missed 3d world or another port, i care about my own wallet and if nintendo puts an unfair price ill show them i dont like it by not buying it. A lot of people see value in a 60$ new super mario bros u port that i personally dont see, but that's ok. If they have fun with that game and if they find it worthy of 60$ more power to them. Let the consumer decide, because the consumers decided they're ok with spending 60$ for ports

    And like ive said countless times, we cant judge the worth of a product off of a 1 minute trailer that only showed cutscenes and a little gameplay. Lets wait for a more detailed presentation. Zelda remasters always had qol improvements and additional content, ill give them the benefit of doubt for now, even tho like ive said i wont buy it regardless cause i already own it

    look we gotta stop because these are just walls of text and youre really not getting my point

    i can choose to not buy what i dont want and peole who want enjoyment can like what they like whatever

    me, the poster would like if the game company we're talking about would beter allocate its resources to suit my taste (like a lot of other people here) and you telling people that theyre gonna make money anyway and someone else likes it isnt gonna change that.

    same way that im not gonna s*** on you if you buy SSHD why would u defend the company from people who expect ore from them

    Some people find worth in that, and im nobody to tell people how to spend money. I can tell people what they're going to buy because ive played the game, but if they still want to buy the game im nobody to tell them not to do it cause i dont want them to. People arent dumb braindead zomvies who cant think for themselves and they need me to tell them what a product is worth.
    Me and you think the game is overpriced? Two other people think the game is sold at a good price. It is what it is
