The video is getting ratio'd really badly on youtube. People are annoyed
Figures. The $70 price for the bundle is too high to me. At most, I would've preferred it cost $50 like the Pikmin 1 & 2 bundle.
Considering they were designed with the technical limitations of the Wii, they've aged amazingly and still look good to this day. That's what is allowing them to have this 70$ price tag I think
They definitely hold up very well. It's honestly impressive how good they were at making the games look with the limitations of the Wii hardware.
People on YouTube are always annoyed (same with Reddit and other similar social media platforms). That's basically what they were made for, so cynical pessimists could whine and bitch about anything and everything on the Internet and pat others on the back for doing the same. I kinda feel sad for them, it's probably all they have to do in life...
But, the price point doesn't matter. That's just the excuse. These same sorts were whining about SNES games costing 8 USD back in the Wii era as well.
is it sad that I’m super excited to fork over $70 for 60fps 4k Galaxy 1+2? Lol Nintendo knows they’ve got me.
We'll im not excited to fork over $70 for it........but I will.
I mean, both games were originally 60fps to begin with...
That's why the value proposition will only get worse.
If it was released on PS5, I'd buy it (when the price falls down to 40 bucks). They should consider taking some exclusive collections on other consoles. ... Yeah, I know it's not gonna happen but it feels good hoping out loud.
Nintendo would rather get their building hit by a nuclear bomb than seeing Mario on other systems.
when do you think this game might be discounted?
On the US eShop, the Pikmin bundle and first two games by themselves have never been discounted. They're the closest thing despite the cheaper prices.
Target and some retailers might put the physical copy on sale mid to late 2026. As with a lot of Nintendo games, don't hold your breath for good discounts. Especially on the eShop.
Honestly, I think the "upgrades" from this collection are nothing more than what the Dolphin Wii Emulator can't do. And it runs well on any PC from 13 years ago. $70? No, thanks.
If it only looked better than what modern Wii emulators can do. Not only community texture packs have higher quality, the aliasing in this clip is atrocious. And that's just basic emulation. Imagine what proper recompilation could do. Seriously, what a lazy cash grab that is.
