A lot of remasters that release on PC are usually free if you own the og version. A lot of these games are sure fire sellers such as Skyrim, Dark Souls 1&2, Borderlands series... Then you have companies like Rare who do Rare Replay and MS who did Halo MCC. Also, Witcher 3 another sure fire seller is being given away for free next-gen to previous owners across PC, PS, and Xbox. It's just Nintendo being their typical greedy selves as if they're new to the block. And to top it off, they are making a digital game limited... You can't make this up and I really don't think anyone here would be defending this if it weren't Nintendo.

I don’t think anyone is really defending it. It’s a personal thing across the board. YOU me or anyone can buy / not buy / or steal. That’s all of our personal choices nobody’s really on a bandwagon it seems to defend what Nintendo does here.
Your doin a great job tho Aki trying to form a posse to get on your side tho. Keep up the good work I hope you destroy Nintendo with your actions.

I don't blame anyone for scoffing at Nintendo for a full price collection of three ports. But let's not pretend other companies' shit don't stink either. Master Chief Collection was broken for ages. Recently Mafia 2 Definitive Edition released, it too was/is broken and a worse version than the original, but now I can't even buy the original on Steam, so the best option seems to be to buy a used PS3 copy. I like how many PS1 and PS2 games are available to purchase on the PS3, but PS4 has no options to buy PS1, and a limited selection of PS2 games.
My perfect world is a joint system of Virtual Console and streaming. Ideally I could buy a game for cheap, or just stream a bunch of oldies. Shame the virtual console is not on Switch, but personally I still have the Wii and Wii U hooked up. I'm not the kind of person to get rid of old systems when the new one comes out, hence why I tend to stick to the originals unless it's a full remake.

Same.
I mean, I had an urge to play Ikaruga a few years ago, but didn't have my Wii handy (boxed up), and eBay prices for a GC copy weren't cheap (perusing eBay now...$60 to $75). They re-release* it on Switch for $15, and I was on it. Were there any real improvements? Nope. Did I care? Nope. I paid for convenience and thought it was a fair price. YMMV.
Is the 3D Mario collection fairly priced? Well, it's Nintendo, so I would've assumed a "greatest hits" sort of $20 per game price. Seems fair to me. I ain't gonna buy it, but that's because I'm not really interested in Sunshine, could still pop Galaxy into my Wii U, and SM64 simply doesn't set my loins ablaze. YMMV.

The new limited edition physical copy with a little model ship is $60.

Venture Bros just got a confirmed cancellation. This hurts, an awful lot. I really love that show.
Final Fantasy 16 looks awesome. Resident Evil 8 isn't impressing me as much as I thought it would, but that's fine because I trust the Capcom with RE these days. Demon's Souls looks like the same bullshit but beautiful and I love it. Everything else I didn't really care much for, but those 3 things are enough to get me hyped.
Sad about not getting any Elden Ring gameplay yet, though. Maybe at TGS.

PS5 is $630 Canadian. Games are also getting a $10 increase, so my province’s tax makes games well over 100.
Gonna wait for next gen like usual. Took me two years to buy a Switch and three for the PS4 I think, so this ain’t gonna be different. Probably gonna get a new laptop soon, as I’ve been meaning to upgrade mine for awhile.
