It is greedy to price a 10 y/old game for 60$. But tbh I'd much rather have a quality and unique game over a game filled with microtransactions and cancerous pay to win systems, or a game that isn't very unique or creative. People calling Nintendo just like Activision, EA, Ubisoft, or Bethesda is a complete exaggeration. While I don't necessarily condone the 60$ price tag for ports, you have to realize that Nintendo games are one of a kind in quality and very unique compared to anything else in the market so people would be willing to spend that much. It is easy to find a quality shooter these days or a story based western RPG, but to find a game similar to Zelda or Mario at the same quality is very difficult to find. Nintendo offers their games at a premium price since they're considered a premium and unique experience you can't find anything else, if you don't think its worth it, don't buy it.

However, this isn't likely ever going to change until people lose interest in Nintendo games. When a bare bones and controversial game like Super Mario Party is able to sell 14M at 60$, that shows the power of Nintendo games.

spot-on thread title

when they fail they get super productive to save their reputation, and when they are back in the safe zone - like now - they do whatever shit will maximize their gains, regardless of whether it hurts their image or not

@Alby_da_Wolf , I missed this otherwise I wouldn't have made a late addition about what I learned about Hitler and 1957 to my last post.

Now I have to  twist  change my historical account to contain your additional research, by making your events all about people continuing Hitler's pizza legacy after his death by pineapple asphyxiation in 1957 and by doing so stop any contamination of history that leads to plunging us into a time loop.

It's weird. Remember the Wii U era? Lots of samey and safey titles despite the fact the console was failing. Nintendo got cold feet and decided to throw their resources to increase the value of their games a la Breath of the Wild, and the first result of such urgency, or rather, necessity, was Splatoon. The Switch ultimately received most of that renovated flow in Nintendo's game development. We got ARMS, Splatoon 2, Odyssey, the biggest Smash, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing entries yet and a few other games. But now it seems we're in the middle of the gap before we can receive a new wave of huge games, or at least I hope so. 

I never had thought of mixing spaghetti with pineapple. I might try it someday, maybe not with tomato sauce but something like clam sauce. I think that could be a nice combination. 

Sweet And Sour pork- chicken - dumplings etc exist people

Ah, yes! One of my uncles likes to roast chicken with beer inside the oven, or something like that, I have yet to ask him how he does it. That's honestly my favorite chicken, it tastes like your regular roasted chicken but with such an exquisite sweet flavor added. He made me one just for me in New Year, and it's still the best meal I've had in half a year, I think. So, yeah, sweet chicken rocks. 

It's the razor and blades business model, but Ninty's necromancers managed to make it even more evil than Gillette.   

Nintendo probably fixes their mistake (Super Mario 3D All-Stars for $50) in April and will offer the three games separately for $50 - $60 each.

I am fully on board on that Nintendo is maximizing profit like your average capitalist mega corp. I wouldnt really bother if they decided to actually release new content in between...

This I cant get behind though, There's probably more effort in this port than the other Wii U ports you mentioned outside of the Bowsers Fury addition.

It seems to not only be a transition to full hd from sd but also making it run in higher framerate, new control schemes as well.

But we'll probably get the full picture in the coming months before I fully judge here.
