Alright, I’m sure everyone’s seen the recent direct. It left a bad taste in peoples mouth. First, for Mario’s 40th anniversary they announced a movie and HD remakes of Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2, but they priced them at $70 with little to no changes, further this is more than Mario 3D All Stars release price. Both were also available on Wii U virtual console for $20 each.
Then, Pokemon recently announced things that makes that community angry. DLC for Pokemon Legends ZA, a game that isn’t even released yet along with Mega Evolutions for Raichu and the Kalos starters. Everyone has wished the Kalos starters need Megas, but that was when things went bad. See it has been revealed that you can’t get them through normal gameplay you need to play ranked matches during specific events. Now to even access ranked in most Switch Pokemon games you need a Nintendo Games Pass, a subscription service that costs a monthly fee. As for the Mega Dimensions DLC pack ZA isn’t even released yet which means that this is content that was created for the base game, but Nintendo wanted to nickel and dime people again and decided to release them separately.
Donkey Kong Bananza was also reacted to similarly to Pokemon the DLC was announced just 2 months after launch, This makes that likely the DLC isn’t that at all it was meant to be in the main game, but much like with Pokemon, Nintendo couldn’t help themselves and wanted to take as much money as possible.
Normally, I would reserve a Nintendo Direct to excitedly talk about the upcoming releases along with my own thoughts and opinions, but I have no desire to do that I don’t want to talk about the new and upcoming games coming from this company.
