Time to pirate FR to play on my phone just as a tiny middle finger to nintendo, who can’t do shit against me in Brazil 🇧🇷 🖕
Oh, let me also play more Palworld, who’s having to fight bullshit patents
This is the real reason Nintendo is suing emulators and ROM hosts. They JUST realized there is a market for this. Took them 30+ years to figure it out.
I mean the game in question is the first of two remakes of Pokemon Red, and (if I remember correctly) the first official re-release of a remake of Red. I’m not going to say all of the releases are the same experience by a long shot, but it’s a little hard to argue they’re only now figuring it out.
If you want to say that it should have been made more available to current platforms sooner then that’s a different argument.
I mean, not really. Nintendo has been fairly consistent about rereleasing old titles for many many years now.
“Neither of these answers seem to address the question of why the games could not also be part of the Switch Online’s GBA collection… or why the games are priced at $20 each…”
Nintendo:
Obligatory fuck nintendo
Because their real answer of “Because you dumb fucks will buy it anyway” wasn’t nice enough for the press lol. Seriously as long as you dumb asses keep buying old ass games from Nintendo for way too much money they will keep letting you do it.
People complain but they keep buying Nintendo trash so why not
Generally speaking, the people complaining are not the people doing the buying.
It sure seems like they are in the case of Nintendo.
Yes i think it’s morally correct to pirate their games
I would have loved like a Mario all Stars of retro Pokemon games. They don’t even have to get fancy with it. Give me like Gen 1-5 and we’re good. Or hell, even just Gen 1-3 and I’d be happy.
OMG, a Pokemon All Stars would be amazing. But I do want them to get fancy with it: with every new game that starts, make me start with a starter as usual, but once I get access to trading, let me pull Pokemon that are below the soft level cap out of my boxes.
Now that you mention fancy features, i wouldn’t mind if they did some stuff with QOL changes. I know some people hate it but i’d love to have the Modern Exp. All for my entire party in everything outside gen 1
I always thought it would be cool to have a pack of the games that allows trading between the versions, or at least tracking of the pokedex across versions. I’m not crazy enough to play every single version, but if they had every version of every game for several gens, with a central pokedex, it would let the super fans try to completely fill out the dex.
I’ve been trying to fill out the pokedex in home, and i know i’d get a lot of usage out of that. It’d be nice to be able to track it in game rather than having to hop between
The ROM hack Pokemon Unbound is what you’re looking for.
You know it’s bad when Konami can release GBA roms for a better deal at the exact same price (talking about the Castlevania Advanced Collection).
*$20 each, for each language.
TBF these are games that were originally released with separate cartridges for each language, so this isn’t an especially surprising thing.
I remember plenty of GBA titles with language options. I used to buy them on flea markets abroad and didn‘t know a lick of english. I find it absurd that this one wouldn‘t have that option.
Plenty of GBA games had multiple languages on one cartridge. No excuse.
Yes, but not mainline Pokémon games.
Exactly. No excuse back then, even less an excuse now
Especially in Europe.
everything about this release is ridiculous
20$ is way too expensive for what it is, it should honestly be 10/15$ at most
why just fire red/leaf green? why not other pokémon games? ruby, sapphire, emerald, these have never been rereleased!
why are all language versions separate purchases??? you couldn’t be arsed to bundle them?
the only new feature of this release, and really the only reason one might want to use this version instead of emulating on another platform, pokémon home compatibility, is not available at launch and will be added later. come on.anyways play cassette beasts instead
And Magi Nation!
Monster sanctuary was a lot of fun too
Coromon rocks! And its only 5$ on steam.
LumenTale just released a new trailer today.
ohhh cool thanks!
I liked Nexomon Extinction, and am looking forward to Nexomon 3D.
Monster Sanctuary had much worse graphics and the story was not engaging at all but somehow I still enjoyed it a lot more than Cassette Beasts.
Sorry, Shin Megami Tensei has already won me over. Can’t beat fighting and having gods fighting for you in my book
People shit on it a lot but I played TemTem at release and the whole time felt sad because it was what I’d so long wished that Pokémon would become.
I bought their album, its fantastic. Cassette Beasts is the best pokemon.
Such a good game! It did not have to have all the extra features it does to be worth the purchase, but they loaded this game with fun!
Seconded on Cassette Beasts. Beat the game, then play it with random beast typings.
“Cause we love money, lol, fuck you poors.” - Nintendo
Nintendo suckss
Meanwhile, I can go to a certain website, get the gba rom and even a romhack adding tons of QOL features and new stuff.
Then, thanks to emulators, I can play it on any device, have cloud saves if I want, online multiplayer for free, in any language I like and for only $0.00
$5 for a whole generation of games would be fair…and this certainly isn’t. Wario is the true representative of Nintendo.
You ain’t going to jail for downloading a GBA game. And it is much cheaper than 20 dollars (except if you really want to play it on a switch for some reason)
Even if you really want to play on Switch there are CFW options that enable GBA emulation.
Yeah but those require either an specific type of Switch or a modchip (which does cost a little AND requires soldering)
