Imagine Sony porting these games for 60 dollars instead of putting them on PS Plus classic’s catalogue.
Watch the reaction.
No one will complain about a Wii port costing 60 dollars.
Yet they will debate why Astro Bot is that price.
How do you Rate the Nintendo Direct?

The direct was 10/10 for me. Opening with a new Mario & Luigi, which I've been dying for since I got into the series last year, was legendary. And then they announced a remaster of DKC Returns, gave us more info about DQ3 HD-2D, the announcement of DQ 1 and 2 HD-2D, Miles Edgeworth remaster announcement, plus other stuff I'm probably forgetting. Absolutely amazing, and likely won't be beaten for this year, maybe even next year as well.
They are giving what their costumers seem to want. Maybe Nintendo just didn't train their fans to expect everything discounted or on a subscription service, apparently it pays to not devalue your games.
i agree, they should copy sony and remaster zelda botw and mario odyssey instead
I think what trips me up about discussions of Sony’s PC strategy is that it has very little effect on me as a PlayStation owner and consumer because firstly I don’t own a PC and secondly there’s just no way I’m going to wait 2+ years for a port, so essentially nothing changes for me. This does mean that all we can do is speculate about the effects it’s going to have down the line but we won’t know that until much later because right now their console sales are more or less in line with the PS4. The PC strategy does seem like a pipe dream for growth but ultimately it doesn’t mean much for me.
Their GaaS push however was far worse because there’s no way that didn’t affect their SP pipeline, Sony only has so many studios and developers. I’m sure some of these games might be good but they’re not experiences I care much for. Not to mention the optics has been abysmal too so I guess GaaS plus their wishy washy PC strategy just isn’t a good look overall.
Xbox fans are pissed in the comments.
Jesus lmao this man is purposefully poking Xbox fans and it’s pretty funny
Yeah a good Earthbound and Golden Sun would be good right about now or Switch 2

Sony gets rightly dragged for needless remakes and remasters....
Nintendo remakes/remasters stuff from gamecube/gameboy/ds. Games that are no longer accessible. not stuff from a few years ago like Sony
People would be happy if Sony did the same and remastered PS1/2/3 games. Stop trying to act like it's the same thing....And if the Horizon Zero Dawn remake rumor is true then they'll be attacked even more and will deserve it

It's like they purposefully remake and remaster only the games where it's completely unnecessary and it's all just because of PC but they release some PS5 versions to try and save face.
All of SIE decision making revolves around PC and TV shows now
I deeply dislike their approach to movies and TV shows. Instead of enhancing the games with additional and expanded stories (such as something like Arcane) we get inferior, lower quality versions that are worthless to anyone that played the games. As always PlayStation players are put dead last.
They own Aniplex and can't find any synergy between it and PlayStation. Even Valve released a Dota 2 anime.

Really?
What about Mario Kart Deluxe, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Pokken Tournament DX, Mario 3D world, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker etc
All Wii U games.
What about these Wii Games?
Skyward Sword HD, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Xenoblade Chronicles and Kirby Return to Dream Land.
Sold at full price too.
This is OK right?
Yes, really. I specifically games that are no longer accessible...and those games aren't accessible. The Wii U was a great console but a huge failure, the vast majority of people never got to play them, so I don't see an issue with porting them at all.
We all wish Sony did the same with PS3 games. I would love to be able to play Infamous without having to stream it or find my PS3.
yeah, sony did the same when they remastered gravity rush, a vita exclusive, to the ps4 so it could be more accessible and now the game is a cult classic, by now these guys are just forcing themselves to feel angry and claim some false double standards lmao
What do you mean no longer accessible?
These Wii U games are as accessible as others and dirt cheap. Far cheaper than the Switch versions.
What’s your excuse for the Wii games on Switch?
Wii wasn’t a failure yet we see Skyward Sword HD, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Xenoblade Chronicles and Kirby Return to Dream Land on it.
Are these inaccessible too? Please.
nuh uh, wii u sold around 13 million consoles, the switch is 100M+, so you could say only 10% of switch owners had the wii u, so yeah, those games arent accessible to 90M+ gamers and its totally fine to port and remaster them =)
2006 console, not accessible too
