Spellman posted:Nintendo software is typically more expensive because that's what their brand is worth. You start selling a bunch of old Mario games for a buck, and then Mario becomes cheap. They've made games that are considered works of art, and aren't supposed to lose their value over time. They're not supposed to be priced in the same category as mobile games, or old Playstation games. They're like Disney movies coming out of the Disney Vault, and Nintendo prices them in a way that makes them (seem) high end.

Super No Vacancy posted:I would be OK with the price of the virtual console titles IF they were linked to your nintendo account and not tied to your console  I wish it were at least easier to do a system transfer. I'd be way more open to buying one of those premium game tie-in 3DS models if it were feasible to just swap out SD Cards and like go through some kind of auth process if the hardware doesn't match any more. When I upgraded to New 3DS back when it came out, in order to be able to trade in my old model, I had to temporarily store my NNID on my girlfriend's 2DS, a week before release day, and then transfer it from there to the n3DS. Gamestop doesn't let you do that poo poo at the counter unless the cashier is like your actual friend.

It'd be nice if VC games went on sale more often, but as is, they're  or less. I guess  or less if you count Wii games on eShop. That's a really good price on these games, especially the ones that are absurdly hard to find or the ones that go for really high prices second-hand. I mean, I could go on eBay and grab a copy of Paper Mario 64 for at least 40 bucks or I could just go to the eShop and get it from there for ; or I could go try to get a copy of Xenoblade Wii for >=$45 or I could just download it for .

Slightly different price points doesn't seem like something people need to get angry about. Just decide whether or not the product is worth the amount asked for and then get on with your day. Different companies selling their different products at different prices isn't exactly some abhorrent affront to nature.

not sure why people are so upset when people are basically saying that 8-20 is beyond impulse purchases. Especially for something fairly antiquated and possibly not fun. That being said this wouldn't be an issue if we had subscriptions like Netflix that didn't cost laughable prices to play older games rather than steam selling everything for pennies on the dollar. I got Mario Bros for five bucks and am happy with it. But I wouldn't get Mario land for 5 or however much gameboy games cost because other than Pokemon and Links Awakening most games for that system are just really really basic and probably are worth more as impulse buys for a dollar. That being said. Have no idea how the lesser quality NES and Gameboy games are doing sales wise but it probably is so incredibly cheap hosting wise that even if one person paid the five bucks for a first party game of NES Tennis it covers the cost for a while.

Slightly Toasted posted:Except that's kind of a lovely example because it's a great game that was beautifully remastered in 3D making good use of it so that people like you that never played the original could enjoy a version that was more up to date? Not to mention that it's worth the price and people will pay it. You can't really compare any of their 3D rereleases to anything on the VC, all of the ones I've seen have been pretty solid. homeless snail posted:If you aren't willing to pay what games are worth, maybe you should just emulate them on something else and not get upset about it. That said, the last page has been interesting as apparently people consider Nintendo products to be some sort of higher art versus, you know, video games. Apparently they do too so I guess that explains why they would keep the price high.

They should just unify your games across all platforms already. If you own it for Wii U, you shouldn't have to rebuy it for 3DS, or the Wii 3, or whatever comes next.

I think he means "why can't I buy Earthbound and play it on both my Wii U and 3DS" which is a good question. I'd probably buy a lot more VC games if that were the case and I'm not remotely compelled to double-dip on the same game for 3DS and Wii U as it is.

I haven't thought about turkey clubs in almost a decade and now I'm suddenly craving one, what the gently caress EDIT: With some exceptions, I've stayed away from Virtual Console games because the lack of cross-buy is exhausting and buying Super Mario World three times is enough for me. I doubt the NX will allow you to transfer old VC games to it, but at the very least I'd like it to have its own VC library that includes all currently-available VC games from Gameboy to Wii. That'd be pretty neat. Thunder Bear fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Jun 2, 2016 |

VC games would benefit from sales by making people who care about price more likely to buy. I am an adult babyboy and can't wait for anything so I buy VC games I want as soon as they come out. I am not the person Nintendo needs to market to. But Nintendo is also a conservative Japanese company and change takes forever there. On a semi-related note I got a used PS Vita yesterday solely to play PS One games on it, they all seem pretty comparable price wise to me.

I see all this and I wonder if any of the complainers have iphones or macs. Because that is really something to complain about. Odds are some of you do, and you are stupid as gently caress if you are okay with Apple but not with Nintendo. Also, for the most part, this isn't crap that is maintaining value. They are things that actually do have demand and value as a result. Just because PC poo poo gets heavily discounted all the time doesn't mean Nintendo stuff should, as well. The PC poo poo gets discounted when people stop buying it and they try to wring every last penny out of it. The Nintendo stuff sells and sells and sells. Iphones are sold at a higher markup now than when they were first made. Just think about that. Now look at your phone. Is it an iphone? You are stupid as gently caress.

The Worst Bear posted:My main issue with Nintendo is more with games like Star Fox 64 3D. The original came out in the 90s and the port was released in 2011, yet the game is still $40 on the eshop with cart prices being even more hilarious. It rarely goes on sale and when it does it basically just goes down to a more sensible baseline price. As someone who has never played a Star Fox game and has no investment in the series, this puts me off of ever bothering to purchase it. I feel there are a number of titles like this, which is more than a little disappointing. That said, while I personally feel anything over $5 is too much for some of the VC games that are 20-30 years old and running on pure nostalgia, the price point is still low enough that I pay for them without regret. That's my story. Nintendo's chosen people, the Europeans, did get a price cut for Starfox.

Is there any compelling reason not to buy the 3DS version of Zero Time Dilemma? It's awesome that it's on Steam and all, but it'd just feel weird to not play the series on my DS at this point.

Also I am 100% buying it the day it comes out because I am not risking having any of it spoiled for me. I guess it'd look better on Steam, but my computer also kinda sucks, and I'd rather not risk any weird performance issues when I could just play it in bed on my 3DS instead.
