    I just don’t understand the idea behind releasing Galaxy 1 as part of a three pack, and then again as part of a two pack on the same console.

    I mean I get that the idea is money. But I don’t understand why this appeals to anyone.

    in 2020, they made people pay 60$ for 3 old games. people thought it was ridiculous.

    in 2025, they’re making you pay 70$ for 2 old games.

    lmao

      And then there’s me, who bought the trilogy, and will now buy the duology, so I’m getting 4 games for $130.

          That’s kind of what I’m saying. Doing it for my kids though. They’re worth every penny. They love Mario.

        Bragging with financial stupidity.

        But where you are right now it’s like saying “I voted conservative” in the highest amount of democratic voters where you’ll get lynched for voted conservative.

          I’m… I’m not bragging though? It’s just another situation/combination, like I said. And it’s been years now since I bought the 3D All Stars games, over time this doesn’t amount to a lot of money per year, or especially per month. My kids play all the time. The games have almost paid for themselves. 🥰 Watching them experience what I did when I was a kid. It’s been great.

          Are people angry that I somehow “wasted” my money? I don’t get it.

            Dunno.
            But (I feel like) every cent paid to Nintendo is too much.
            They make great games (at times) but demand so much more for so little progress it’s not quite justifiable anymore.

            And some of Lemmy (probably) feel similar to that sentiment.

            Edit: And if you have the money to justify the purchase, then feel free. If it makes you and your kids happy even more so :)

              I agree that Nintendo is crummy for the price tag, and it’s a smoke screen for not having any AAA Mario or Zelda ready for the new console. But my nostalgia and my kids are just simply winning. It’s definitely a 🥰🤮 kind of situation. Can’t help myself. Icky…

    They are really good games that me and my siblings enjoyed a lot. I‘ll probably replay them again one day but on a computer.

    I’ll do it like 12 million other people and just buy it on day 1, but I’ll be one of the 3 million who get the card

      And why wouldn’t you? Resolution and framerate are the same either way… and I think you can even play with a real Wiimote on Dolphin, instead of the shitty Joy-Con motion controls.

      So it’s basically $70 for… what? New pages in Rosalina’s storybook? Lmao no thanks.

      Nintendo’s greed is staggering, this generation. I couldn’t believe they announced the Pokémon Legends DLC before the game is even out. “I know you haven’t given us your money yet, but… please can we have some more? 🥺”

        Doesn’t every AAA do that these days?

      Do it. I have a dedicated Ubuntu server with a bunch of docker instances on it. one of them being Romm. I just upload all my roms to it and I can play any game in any browser on any device connected to the internet. I have NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, PSX, PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn, Jaguar, 3DO, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Gameboy/Color, GBA, DS, etc, etc, etc all ready to go.

      Don’t shell out $70 again to play these. they’re already available free o charge online. Just set up dolphin and have at it.

        Romm

        Looks awesome. Every platform you say? reads more Ah shit, looks like they’re gonna make me learn Docker… Someday

        They also say game progress sync is coming. My iPhone does that in Delta. It’s awesome. I can show someone a game I’m playing. Doesn’t matter what. I save with a save state. Give it a minute. Uninstall the app. It’s gone. All the games, gone. Reinstall the app. Empty library. Go into Settings. Connect my Google Drive. Wait a minute. Games sync. Open same game, load the state. Right where I left off. That shit is awesome. And it being Apple, I can AirDrop the game to another iPhone user, and they can add it right to their own library. Sadly, it’s iOS only — the emulator itself runs on a Mac, but it doesn’t run very well. Mac actually has a great emulator too, but it doesn’t sync with anything. If only I could get it to sync with my MacBook.

        Something that syncs across all the platforms would be, like, the Holy Grail. (Actually you can kinda rig it with SyncThing, as like a proof of concept, I linked two Macs running the Switch emulator and they were able to play the same Animal Crossing island. Not at the same time, of course, but when one saves, it syncs, and the other can open it… due to the way Switches save, this is not very reliable at all!)
