Switch Nintendo Switch 2

[Mister Carlton]

The sheer cheek of Nintendo. So many NES thru to GameCube games are on NSO.

Pre-order for Pokémon FR/LG ports $30AUD... Each.

I like not being povo.

We shouldn't be defending them charging $30 for a twenty year old game

Nothing to do with how well off people are, fans of the game can choose to buy it if they wish. Nintendo isn't pointing a gun to heads forcing purchase.

Websites like Amazon etc sell handheld game machines for $50-100 that emulate thousands of games. Including all the Pokémon games.

Charging $20-30 is something you'd expect from a remaster. An old game that developers have brought into the 21st century with improved graphics, mechanics and engine.

People will buy it I have no doubt. But Nintendo does forget that their old handheld games have been emulated for free for years.

Emulation isn't going to change anything.
They released the GB games on the virtual console 10 years ago and they were the best selling VC games, despite years of emulation.

Lots of people, myself included, want to play the games on a console. I want to transfer pokemon to home, like the full odds shiny I found in VC Gold. Currently the only way to do that is pay stupid money and cross your fingers you aren't being scammed with a repro.

Yes, they could have been cheaper, $20AU is pretty close to the VC games plus inflation. At that point though you are arguing over $10 for a game that you get dozens of hours playtime out of.

I have a small form factor Dell pc with batocera installed it's an emulation beast. The best way to go if you want to play old games.

Surely no one’s surprised at the price.

Wish they just did a proper remake or at the very least remaster it so it can at least take up the whole screen.
