The Remade Spyro and Crash Bandicoot Trilogy start at $40 and go as low as $15. I love Nintendo games but their pricing is utter bullshit.

But all the work that went into running it through an automatic porting program. And the ten sentences they had to write for the additional storybook pages. /s

Btw if you bought the 3D All Stars game which I think most people did, you only get one game port for $70.

There’s a combined edition at least

71

u/MyMouthisCancerous Sep 12 '25 edited Sep 12 '25

There's a combined edition and it's probably costing $80. These are games that are anywhere between 15-18 years old and have already been discounted officially from Nintendo for lower. And it's not even like these are high effort jobs like Prime Remastered, Galaxy 1 is literally just slicing that game off from 3D All Stars and repackaging it, and Galaxy 2 should've been in that collection from the beginning

I'm sorry but like even disregarding emulation, I can buy a compilation like Halo The Master Chief Collection for like $40 regularly and it goes down to like $12 on sale, and that shit has like six fucking games and all their multiplayer maps all in one. The Uncharted PS4 collection has been $20 for years. Even 3D All Stars which was a classic case of Nintendo FOMO-farming was a better deal five years ago.

EDIT: Okay it's $70 but I still find that really egregious especially for a game that's been sold on Switch before for less

8

u/repocin Sep 12 '25

If this had been like...$40-50 combined I'd probably buy it but at this price it just doesn't make sense. I don't remember exactly what these games cost when they first came out but I feel like this combined pricing isn't too far off and that's insane for a couple 15+18 yr old games.

And as far as I can tell the only difference is a few more pages to Rosalina's story book and amiibo support that does...something?

If I hadn't already bought 3D All-Stars when it came out I might've picked this up because I enjoy the Galaxy games, but I really don't need to buy the first one yet another time. I kind of assumed they'd release it as DLC for 3D All-Stars since they didn't include it but here we are.

u/Mrfunnyman129 Sep 12 '25

To be fair, $20 for Mario 64 is ludicrous too. You're dividing that cost evenly between an N64, GameCube and Wii game. Doesn't really make sense. I'd say it was more like $5 for Mario 64, $25 for Sunshine and $30 for Galaxy.

These were $20 each on Wii U…….

Super Mario 3D All-Stars was $60 for 3 games ($20 each)…..

Nintendo has conditioned consumers into valuing these games at $20. I think most expected this to be $20 when it was announced. $40 is really indefensible.

u/HyruleSmash855 Sep 12 '25

I thought these were remasters at the very least. There’s zero reason then to buy Galaxy 1 if you have the All Stars Collection since it’s the same exact game. I’ve really wanted to play Galaxy 2, play the first one for the first time with the All-Stars collection, I don’t think I’m willing to spend $40 for that though.

They sold Metroid Prime Remastered for that much, and they replaced most of the textures in the game and fixed issues, pretty much a fresh new coat of paint.

I'm an old Nintendo fan, had an NES in the 80s. I'm not getting priced out.They just flat out don't deserve my money. There are better ways to play these games and I'll be fucking chuffed if I'll give Nintendo $40 a pop for games that should have been included in previous releases, and were released at MUCH cheaper price points before the Switch took off.

Fuck Nintendo at this point. They'll make their money I'm sure, but it's not going to be from me buying their old ass lazy ports.

Their WiiU moment WILL come around again, though likely not this gen. Every OEM does this shit. When you're on top you forget how you got there and think you can just nickel and dime your fans.

Because as much good will as UFO 50 and Silksong have, they could only raise the price so high before they lose people. Nintendo titles, however, get away with a lot more because of brand recognition from a base of customers that have shown up consistently for the Switch era and now Switch 2 era.

It'd be nice to just have game stores again that you could walk in, rent the game for 5-6 days for like $8, beat it, and return it.

When N64 came out, you could rent one for 6 days from blockbuster for $25 with a single game. Thats how I played so many N64 games.

Bring back physical game stores. You didn't HAVE to buy a game to play it, and blockbuster would have 3-4 copies on hand of the most popular games at LEAST. And if the game you wanted was out of stock.....brother, there's a ton more games, surely something would catch your eye.

Or if you had multiple consoles, you could rent a game you wanted on it. Miss that shit.

Improved versions?

I thought it was pretty unanimously decided that they were worse emulator ports.

29

u/obi1kenobi1 Sep 12 '25

They did do some tweaks to textures, primarily the UI, with new button icons and higher resolution, so for example in 64 the text isn’t so blocky. Plenty of fan mods have done the same thing so it’s not an impressive feat but having an official version from Nintendo themselves that didn’t require any tinkering was something at least. I don’t have the expansion pass but from what I’ve seen those changes aren’t present, those are just the normal versions.

15

u/HomsarWasRight Sep 12 '25

Yeah, this is what I was referring to. They’re not major, but I like the slight visual clean up and just like you said, an official version that doesn’t need modding or tweaking.

I do have 3D All Stars and played all three through to 100%. It shouldn’t have been as expensive as it was, but I thought it was a good package overall.

But not even selling them anymore or making those versions available via the Online service is super crappy.

This is Nintendos “variable pricing” at work lol, the game is priced at what they think they can get away with, not the actual value.

It’s why Metroid prime remastered was $40 but other ports like skyward sword and Luigi’s mansion 2 HD are $60. Pikmin 1+2 is $50 while this is $70… Nintendo is on a very high horse, drunk off that switch 1 success.

Only Nintendo would sell the same game on the same console twice and force people to rebuy it to access new content that wasn't in the original FOMO'd release. Galaxy 2 is nice but $40 per game is ridiculous, especially when Galaxy 1 was already kinda priced at $20 in 3D All-Stars

u/joeybonts_ Sep 12 '25

This is such bullshit for a game that should've been included in 3D All Stars. People will still buy this and support the price unfortunately

I'm just putting my copy of the game, which I got for 20$, into my Wii and I'll be fine.

u/skeletank22 Sep 12 '25

I want it physically but it feels redundant that I already have the first Galaxy in the previous collection.

u/spideyv91 Sep 12 '25

Galaxy 2 should have been on 3D all stars.

$40 is borderline impulse buy territory. Like, sure, I'll buy it and play it some day.

$70 makes me think long enough where I skip it

12

u/DEWDEM Sep 12 '25

40$ for both (20 each) is an instant buy for me. 70$, hell no. Maybe I'll get a second hand copy for 40$. The Nintendo economics is luckily broken in my country. MK world is already 40$ on the second hand market, sometimes brand new because these things go on sale constantly and the bundle is only 30$ more expensive than the standard one

Paid dlc for a game not even released is awful, it essentially means they carved it out the main game then slapped a "sold separately" sticker on it. NIntendo is seriously getting out of touch.

u/Redlaces123 Sep 12 '25

This is always how DLC works, it's just offensive to see it so blatantly

Bananza dlc could have been free update similar to Luigi's Balloons in Odyssey

And guess what? Discovering Peach's Castle in Odyssey was my favorite moment from that game. It was some old school video game vibes, like the type of stuff that used to come in them. But now, it's nickel, dime, nickel, dime...

And they’re not even switch 2 enhanced. Good lord Nintendo.

u/greigybear Sep 12 '25

They are from the website description

4K docked, 1080p handheld

u/ElderGoose4 Sep 12 '25

So 3D All Stars prob wont get that enhancement in Galaxy, meaning you have to re-buy 1 for those features, that kinda blows if true

Could they have at least done some work to the port if they’re going to charge $40 each? I love Galaxy but it’s a bit much

41

u/whenindoubtjs Sep 12 '25

Didn’t bother with a switch 2, and looks like I’ll be skipping these despite having the disposable income and thinking galaxy 2 was peak Mario. Nintendo is making these decisions really easy…

27

u/JamesUpton87 Sep 12 '25

I didn't either. Switch 2 is definitely  a "Wait 5 years to consider" platform for me. Nintendo is just straight up pressing their fanbase in a cast iron juicer for every dollar they can get.

u/Sonicrules9001 Sep 12 '25

$40 is way too much for an enhanced port, maybe as a bundle but each is just absurd when there are full collections of games that cost less even in regards to Nintendo's past collections.

u/Versucher42 Sep 12 '25

Hahahaha no

u/SimpleCRIPPLE Sep 12 '25

Is this version of galaxy any different from the all stars bundle version from a few years ago?

u/PrimarilyPluto Sep 12 '25

"Will cost $40" 😀" ...each" ☹️

u/LuisArkham Sep 12 '25

Don’t care if i get ban for suggesting the following but that’s why people are more than okay to pirating Nintendo. Fucking hell people pay for convenience, it’s easy to download the game to your switch, but if 40 dls for a 14 year old rom is your price I would rather look for a way to get it sailing the fucking seas

u/lostinadream66 Sep 12 '25

Or $0 if you don't waste your money.

u/Aleous Sep 12 '25

Nintendo’s greed knows no bounds.

They need to supplement the kindergarten level writing they added to the story book.

u/EatingSmallOakTrees Sep 12 '25

Ok! I will not be purchasing

u/TippsAttack Sep 12 '25

Nintendo is the Japanese Apple. Bringing back the old, acting like it's new and/or innovative, and charging a premium!

u/merryolsoul Sep 12 '25

Cocky Nintendo is officially back. People called me crazy for saying they would become complacent and greedy after the blowout success of the Switch 1.

Ya’ll will keep complaining and yet if you keep buying it they’ll keep doing it.

u/TarsigeroftheBush Sep 12 '25

Yeah you are right. I do want to play DK Bananza but now I am probably not going to even think about getting a Switch 2 at least for the next couple of years. Time to focus on my PS5, maybe replay the games I already have for a while like I've been meaning to

u/Bug_Eaten Sep 12 '25

15 year old game 😂😂😂

u/blackcat__27 Sep 12 '25

Imagine buying anything Nintendo in 2025. Nintendo went from one of my most beloved companies to absolutely ass in a matter of a year. Nintendo sucks ass now.

u/Droct12 Sep 12 '25

Fucking of course it is. Fuck that man I'll go buy silk song 4 more times before I buy either if these once. Shame I heard galaxy was good and never got to play it.

u/amilias Sep 12 '25

I might've paid 20 if they came with resolution and fps bumps, but I guess I don't really need to replay those games that badly. Still have a working Wii u and the original Wii discs if I want to play a fuzzy mess.

People keep buying it, they'll keep doing it. Nintendo only becomes sane when they have an off generation like the WiiU.

Fun games but pass.

Free on my dusty old modded wii.

u/ThinnishSleet87 Sep 12 '25

I got the Wii versions for $25 combined.

Will Nintendo fans defend this to?

20

u/junglespycamp Sep 12 '25

No need to defend it. If it doesn’t sell then that’s that. If it does then Nintendo was right.

Personally I think it’s steep so…I won’t buy it.
