This is the most rolleyesin', rear end in a top hat :smug: way to look at this, but I'm cool with not having one of these minis or a VC on the Switch since at this point if I wanted to play one of those games I'd just do so on my RGB-modded consoles. The only notable exception will forever be Earthbound since those carts go for like $200.

Same, except I have Earthbound and also a flash cart.

Also because you're not getting one for MSRP.

maybe, just maybe it's a bad value because 1) these will be in ridiculously short supply and 2) why not just them on the loving Switch, especially when most if not all of these are on WiiU or Wii already. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why people aren't fans of this

maybe wait until they release them before assuming they will make the same mistake as the NES classic? Granted it's Nintendo so it's not a guarantee that they'll learn, but with the reduced game list it's likely they'll produce more and for longer.

Also I'm not ready to buy a Switch yet, and a bunch of snes games wouldn't convince me to get one any sooner.

No reason to get mad at the SNES Classic but no real reason to be excited unless you're the type that likes collecting Nintendo memrobelia.

Still, Nintendo have no reason to bother to handle this release any better and also arguing that this is a great value because if how expensive those games usually are is a hilariously dumb argument for multiple reasons

The finale of darkest dungeon, the titular darkest dungeon itself, is absurdly difficult and you will likely lose a ton of dudes. Also, once they complete a quest in the dd, those heroes will refuse to set foot inside it again, hence it can require some grinding, especially if you fail and lose some heroes while running it. That said, it's still a fantastic game and the ending is pretty intense, with a great finale to the story.

I recommend expanding the roster using a configuration file editor to have like 25 dudes because it greatly reduces the frustration of the game without really reducing the difficulty (you will still have to regularly toss folks into the bar, brothel, etc to recuperate).

No it really isn't. Even if they were on the switch it'd likely be at minimum just as expensive for all of these games. Unless you're just arguing that it's super easy to pirate these games so it's not worth buying them legitimately, which is an actual argument already made multiple times on sa within minutes of the announcement, in which case no, a legal alternative is a great offering by nintendo. And some of these games are legit the best examples of their series of all time(mmx, ff6, etc).

These kinds of releases predominantly benefit resellers and scalpers, which make them generally bad because those people are scumbags. The average consumer who actually wants to play these games will not end up paying $80 for this. They will probably not end up paying $150, even.

Like, no one that's buying the originals will care about the switch outside of collector's value. The reason they'd usually cost about that much on the VC is because they're pretty overpriced on there too. That being said, it's not an awful deal and I'm not saying that but it's not like these games are rare treasures and this thing is saving people 100s of dollars or anything. These are easy to pirate games that are only remotely hard to get legitamatly because Nintendo sucks at making that stuff available. It's not a bad deal but it's not really a great one either. It is what it is. Goons bitch too much and others defend Nintendo to readily no matter what they do.
