    And then there’s me, who bought the trilogy, and will now buy the duology, so I’m getting 4 games for $130.

    Edit: why down vote this? Can you explain why this is off topic or otherwise down vote worthy? I’m not saying I’m being smart with these purchases 😆 I’m just saying it’s another situation. I’m buying these games for my kids as they love Mario.

      Bragging with financial stupidity.

      But where you are right now it’s like saying “I voted conservative” in the highest amount of democratic voters where you’ll get lynched for voted conservative.

        I’m… I’m not bragging though? It’s just another situation/combination, like I said. And it’s been years now since I bought the 3D All Stars games, over time this doesn’t amount to a lot of money per year, or especially per month. My kids play all the time. The games have almost paid for themselves. 🥰 Watching them experience what I did when I was a kid. It’s been great.

        Are people angry that I somehow “wasted” my money? I don’t get it.

          Dunno.
          But (I feel like) every cent paid to Nintendo is too much.
          They make great games (at times) but demand so much more for so little progress it’s not quite justifiable anymore.

          And some of Lemmy (probably) feel similar to that sentiment.

          Edit: And if you have the money to justify the purchase, then feel free. If it makes you and your kids happy even more so :)

            I agree that Nintendo is crummy for the price tag, and it’s a smoke screen for not having any AAA Mario or Zelda ready for the new console. But my nostalgia and my kids are just simply winning. It’s definitely a 🥰🤮 kind of situation. Can’t help myself. Icky…

        That’s kind of what I’m saying. Doing it for my kids though. They’re worth every penny. They love Mario.
