They make good games but don't want to have to buy a Nintendo console while trolling about how Sony is better than Microsoft because they have the best exclusives.

I'd say people are more mad at their fanboys than Nintendo themselves. Nintendo are given way too many passes and exceptions when they more or less are a greedy and scummy like the rest of the gaming companies out there.

This is my main complaint. Not saying the others aren't valid but come on, Nintendo, you WANT scalpers to make bank off your hard work? Or find less than savoury ways that people will find to play them when that can't afford it?

More like fragile children that have to call all criticism of Nintendo "trolling" to dodge having to actually argue against the statements being made because they know they can't win.

I hate their prices, but why would they lower them when games like zelda, mk8, Mario Odyssey are still in the top 10 monthly since they were released. What I hate the most is that they havent realeased a virtual store to buy older n64,snes games. Guess my hope for GC games is squandered now.

Give me one good reason this collection should cost $60 when companies release remake collections for less than that

And give me one good reason it should be limited release

"Because they can" is not a good reason.
Limited release is dumb, but $60 for three classic remakes is objectively a good price. Other companies releasing for cheaper Tha. It's worth doesn't change that.

They're not remakes though. They're direct, unaltered ports. Presuming it's $20 apiece, that would grossly overprice SM64 when you could buy that for half that price on the VCs.
Nope, fair price.

"Because they can" is not a good reason.

The reason is they're confident it'll sell. Activision in comparison aren't as confident.

I get it's disappointing but it's Mario. Mario isn't a budget release and never will be.

There's no real agreed on price with ports, remasters and collections either. Were God of War 3 Remastered and Shadow of the Colossus overpriced because they're one game? Is the Demon's Souls Remake overpriced if it's the same content with a new coat of paint? Just seems to depend on what people consider what their worth is.

Because they're charging $60 for 3 roms of games with a combined age of like 55 years, and doing a limited release to push demand.

Which are legitimate complaints soooo...... don't buy it

Alright, if you want to justify spending $20 on a N64 game in 2020, be my guest. Meanwhile DOOM 64 is $5 (and free for anyone who preordered Eternal) and an actual remastered Perfect Dark for the 360 was $10 at launch and probably less than that now.

Because it'll sell like hotcakes, Nintendo knows this, and quite frankly all the games are good enough to not need remade.

Idk that's dumb especially for digital, but I imagine all will be sold separately eventually.

I think everyone can agree that unaltered ports of games that came out 2 and a half decades ago are not worth $20

I don't know how much those games you listed cost, but they're not that old

It's a collection of three games for $60. There's no option to buy Mario 64 on its own. If you want to think of it like $10 for Mario 64, $20 for Sunshine and $30 for Mario Galaxy I suppose you can do that lol

They are worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. Apparently some people think 3 ports of old games are worth $300.

That's "because they can"

Which isn't a good (or consumer-friendly to be more objective) reason

Not "just because they can", it's basic economics. If people are willing to pay it, which they are based on preorders drying up, then that's what they'll sell it for. You're criticizing them because they're not selling themselves short? Seems dumb.

The Switch is a very popular right now. Lots of consumers who have been spoiled by Sony and MS are now realizing how shit Nintendo is with their forced scarcity models and how fucking expensive all their games are. If you really want something, you better pre-order it or be prepared to buy it on ebay for $200. Shit was bad before rona but now everyone is at home, getting unemployment and realizing how shitty Nintendo treats its customers.

You can buy Mario 64 on the Wii U for $10.

It's not suddenly worth double (or more if you're in Canada) just because it's on the Switch.

Idk that's still overpriced to me

In contrast, FFX/X-2 HD remaster is $30

And Mario games are significantly more popular.

Lightning Returns can't re-release this year for $60 and sell any copies. Mario 3D World can and it's only one year newer.

Nintendo games maintain a higher value and always are sold at a premium. This isn't even the worst Mario Collection so far. Remember the one on Wii that was just a few NES ROMS?

That one is rightfully only worth $20 or so today and it's given away for free as part of the online subscription.

Also it wasn't a few nes roms, it was 1 snes rom on a wii disc lol

People get mad at them for not showing shit at their directs regardless of it's a mini direct or a regular one.

Either way on the whole "they re-release shit and price them at 60 bucks" ordeal, there's not much of an incentive to buy it unless you're a hardcore fanboy or your computer can't emulate them.

Again I get why people are disappointed and don't think it's worth the money. But pointing to other collections just seems a bit silly to me.

It's like getting angry that the Star Wars blu-ray box set costs more than the Saw boxset when they have a similar amount of movies. Isn't the reason pretty obvious?
