Normally not a fan of these preorder "bargains" as you can almost always get these games slightly cheaper down the line, but this may be the cheapest it ever gets considering Nintendo has already announced this will be a limited release (both physically and digitally) up until the 31st of March 2021.

RRP is $79.95 and it is also available for pre-purchase on the Switch eShop at this price.

I also believe this is releasing in about 3 weeks

          Oh no, downvotes. This has nothing to do with a real classic Game and Watch which were horrible little LCD things with pre printed graphics, so theres no reason for it to share the limit of one game.

        You got downvoted, but to an extent I agree that Nintendo, for that price, could have thrown Mario 1/2/3 on that little handheld to justify the cost. I don't have an issue with a tiny portable emulator to celebrate a bit of history and it is a neat little collectable.

    • codvision on 04/09/2020 - 08:48

      Damn, that thing looks cool. I really should resist buying it though as I'll never play it - apart from for maybe squinting at that little screen for an hour or so after buying it. It does look frikkin cool though.

          I pre-ordered this for pick-up Day 1 at JB, price-matched (price-beat?) to $63.00.

          • Kessler on 11/09/2020 - 12:10

    • muwu on 11/09/2020 - 10:36

      Available for me and pre-ordered at $63

  • ce5himm on 04/09/2020 - 08:34

    I think it will be the same price at least on the launch day. If anyone do not want to wait for delivery. Just grab it on 18 SEP in store .
    it is unclear why they only intend to sell for 6 months. Simply make it limited time? Are they going to make another version for the switch 2?

    • zzyss on 04/09/2020 - 08:52
      +5

      It's a Mario 35th anniversary thing. Hence only limited edition for this year. But it's manufacturered rarity. As if they're not going to re-release these games on one or another of their future platforms… pfft. This is Nintendo we're talking about here. They'll be rehashing the past until the day they cease to exist (or maybe they won't cease to exist because they keep rehashing, LOL).

        Apparently they're good for a looooooong time of no profit. This was 2 years ago, and they've made a massive amount since then

        +3

        They'll be rehashing the past until the day they cease to exist

        Yeah I feel like they're well known to sell a limited edition, and scalpers buy them all up to sell them at a high price, and once they run out fully for scalpers to shine, Nintendo typically comes out a few weeks later and says a new major batch is coming out at RRP.

        Same thing happened to the Animal Crossing switch and the mini NES I think.

        • zzyss on 04/09/2020 - 10:30
          +1

          I don't begrudge them that. Scalpers are the worst so if Nintendo is deliberately messing with them all power to Nintendo.

            +2

            @zzyss: It doesn't mess with scalpers it enables them.
            If Nintendo was upfront about producing more stock then only a few impatient people will pay above RRP which will kill any scalping.

            • zzyss on 04/09/2020 - 11:46

              @lorikeet: Fair. Was only saying IF it messes with them, but yeah agree that it'd be better if they weren't enabled at all.

      Yes,

    • Merlict on 04/09/2020 - 08:47
      +9

      I feel it's that they'll stop selling the bundle and then the games are $40 each or something.

      • ce5himm on 04/09/2020 - 08:50

        That's a good point.

      • cheepo on 04/09/2020 - 08:56
        +4

        Nintendo don't mind charging multiple times for the same game so wouldn't be surprised if this happens and these games are sold independently later - as suggested.

        Was expecting the Galaxy series to be given a different treatment for some reason or at least for it to also include 2 also but expect they have other plans for it.

        • zzyss on 04/09/2020 - 09:09
          +2

          Maybe they couldn't/didn't finish it in time to give it a release in 2020 (due to COVID-19 or whatever) so they just called it a day and released what they had. If Galaxy 2 shows up later separately then that'll prove the point.

          • Faro on 04/09/2020 - 09:13
            +2

            @zzyss: Doubt that's the case. Galaxy was ported to NVIDIA Shield in China years ago and this looks like an exact copy of that. It's a weird decision that makes no sense.

    • Faro on 04/09/2020 - 08:47
      +2

      Absolutely no sense at all.

      From what I can tell, this seems to be the most "classic Nintendo" decision they've made since the Switch release after it seemed like they learned from their Wii U mistakes.

    • wanderlei on 04/09/2020 - 15:28

      Limited time not quantity.

  • PissLUR on 04/09/2020 - 08:48

  • zzyss on 04/09/2020 - 08:50
    +2

    Reviews said it doesn't include Super Mario Galaxy 2, which is kinda dumb. What a wasted opportunity.

    Also: once the Amazon pre-order goes up it'll likely be cheaper due to their discount off pre-orders, so maybe best to wait?

    • ce5himm on 04/09/2020 - 08:53

      For me, JB is always cheaper for those preorder. As you can always get some 10% off jb gift card vs 3% off Amazon giftcard.

        Amazon does $5 off pre-order for Prime members I think? Then discounted gift cards on top of that if you have them.

        • enwar on 04/09/2020 - 09:25

          Are you sure they do the preorder discount still? I preordered Assasins Creed Valhalla but it didn't say anything about a discount? I have prime too.

    Already redeemable for NSO vouchers on the estore also, for a relative ~$67.50

    • endlessZonk on 04/09/2020 - 09:03

      Plus you get 670 gold points from the NSO purchase which ends up being $6.70 credit on the eshop. Put this towards another NSO voucher and the games will cost ~$64.15 each next time. Not a bad way to go if you plan on buying a lot of big titles

    • Faro on 04/09/2020 - 09:09
      +4

      Based on the announcement trailers, 64 will be basically just upscaled to HD. Sunshine will be upscaled to HD with widescreen support and Galaxy will be upscaled to HD with a new control scheme (no Wii remotes on Switch).

      The announcement trailer also appeared to show 64 and Galaxy running at 30fps with Galaxy running at 60 which is also disappointing.

        Seems to me they've included some original but uncompressed textures for mario 64.

    • Quantumcat on 04/09/2020 - 09:13

      Probably not good, they look like straight ports. Compare the beauty of Zelda 64 on 3DS compared to the original which was nearly as blocky as Mario 64. Doesn't look like they remastered at all.

      If they are straight ports though that could be good as the container might be able to be reused to bring in an N64/wii/GC emu for other games

      • Merlict on 04/09/2020 - 09:50

        The 3DS Zeldas also messed with some stuff and made it worse, I'm fine with a straight upscaled emulation

            @Quantumcat: Ocarina was pretty decent, looked nicer and had some QOL things.

            Majora's Mask went really overboard. https://www.thegamer.com/legend-zelda-majoras-mask-3d-change… sums it up better than me, some of those are justified by it being a handheld (saving where you want, brighter for the crappy screen) but there was no need to mess with a classic like that.

            They slowed down the way momentum and speed worked that it made a section of platforming annoying.

      I'd say they have considering they would have had to make adjustments for each of these games to work well on a switch controller (analog trigger controls on Sunshine/no Wii remotes for Galaxy)

    I just got Super Mario 64 on PC and bought some USB N64 controllers - but playing officially on the TV sure is tempting.

    I just want them to release an N64 mini - can't beat having the original controller.

    • belongsinforums on 04/09/2020 - 09:59

      The original controller was arse. Get a makopad64.

      For some reason people are stubborn and refuse to think anything third party is superior, and usually I'd think that too, but I tell you the analogue feeling and z button layout on the makopad are a dream and you'll never get a loose analogue stick because the analogue mechanism is fundamentally different.

      Also, vibration on n64 was better. It's so tinny and implemented in such a binary way on the switch that I find it annoying enough to have it turned off. "Hd" lol.
