Y'all just
What do you mean? PC or a dedicated VR system? If it's non Nintendo HW it won't happen

It's gonna cost $60 and probably be a Twilight Princess HD esque type of upgrade. Might wanna make peace with that now if it's really gonna bother you.
I mean Nintendo hardware, of course.
$10 in 2015.
Ten. Dollars.
Four years later, downgrade the control scheme, release the same game... $60. lmao. What in the world
When I made that thread I didn't expect it to still be referenced almost 7 years later.
A remaster of the prime trilogy bothers you more than tropical freeze at $60?
Quiet in that outlets have exhausted topics to do with the Feb direct and there isn't much else new that could draw people in. I personally agree with you, but I may have worded it wrongly, sorry
Tropical Freeze is at least
They should put out the Wii version for $10 alongside the remaster for $60 and see what happens.
I'd still get the $60 one.
Hey, tnks for your work on this OT.
Let's have a drink to many more future direct untrue rumors
$10 on sale while regular price was $20 I think,
In any case we talking about simple port especially because Wii U had BC for Wii games already, while we here talking about HD remaster of 3 games for totally different tech/architecture.
Expecting anything else than $60 will lead to disappointment.
Yeah, it'll be a 15 year old game rendered in HD that still looks like a 15 year old game, omits the originals best control scheme and was sold for $10 on Nintendo's last console. This will be the third time this compilation has been released. THIRD!
Tropical Freeze is the latest entry in the Donkey Kong series that released on Nintendo's last failed console.
Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT| There is a rumor about a direct this week
I like this one because it could be literally any week.
It's perfect lol
Woolly World was also 50, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse was 40. The system generally just had more flexible pricing for retail first party games.
The best controls were the wii controls, and who cares if its the third? It will be a remaster and not a port.
Tropical freeze launched on the wii u at $50, then dropped to $20. Then came out at $60 for the switch 4 years later. How is that fine, but not prime trilogy?
Nintendo was probably trying to maximize profit during the Wii U era, so they didn't mind charging below price. Now that they're doing fine again, they can ignore the market price to maintain perceived value.
you're not off-base by criticizing the way Nintendo prices their remakes, but this ain't new in the slightest so I don't know why you'd get your hopes up about Nintendo not being Nintendo for once.
Dunno if someone answered already. Basically they tweeted dozens and dozens of stuff that might be in the Direct before it. Then deleted all the stuff that wasn't in it trying to seem like they knew beforehand. Just a sad fraud.
Imo it makes perfect sense for MPT to be 60$.
Its a twice released collection that didnt sell well before of games that didnt sell much in the first place, so the number of people interested in this was never gonna be big in the first place.
Much more logical to get the full 60$ from the few people who are Metroid fanboy enough to buy it, since they wont actually be price sensetive.
People who are were not going to buy it in the first place, since they had plenty of opportunity before.

I think we're going to get a Direct next week. This week with Labo and reviews doesn't make sense business wise for Nintendo. Next week though is clear IIRC. FFX/X-2 release on Tuesday. Nintendo has nothing major releasing next week and it's before Mortal Kombat releases. Actually I see Cuphead releases next week. That's kind of a big deal.
