Sony does have better pricing. But that's because they under price, not because Nintendo over prices. The games are worth the price. DKC Tropical Freeze was worth $60 on Wii U, and it's worth $60 now. Only reason it was less on Wii U was the system was failing miserably and they were desperate to catalyze sales. That's no longer the case.
Problem is some people stopped buying games based on their value and instead base them on what they "feel they deserve". It was less on Wii U so I deserve to pay less now. Has nothing to do with the game's actual worth.
Sony could charge $60 for any of those games and I wouldn't complain, because they'd be worth it. Fact I get em for less is just a bonus.
As for the flamer title, I'll be playing my Switch all year long. As if playing it more last year than my PS4 and Xbox One for their entire lifespans wasn't enough already.
We're here to talk about the games we're playing, specifically the games we're playing on Switch. If you're not playing it, that's fine, go play something else. No need to announce it to the world. Nobody cares if you're not gonna play Switch. Nobody gives a crap I'm finally playing my PS4 for the first time in a year, and likely the last time I'll play it for another year. Nobody cares I don't touch my 3DS anymore. Or my PC.
You do you. If you're not playing games then we've got nothing to talk about

I'm sorry but I totally disagree... would you pay full price for a 2016 car in the year 2018? So why would you do it when its game related. Repackage it, put it on a new a system, add an easy mode.... it's still the same game that release on the Wii U over a year ago. I'm sorry I like to save money where I can and a game that was created well over a year ago is not worth $60 dollars... games do depreciate in value... like it or not.
@MarcelRguez Fair point. I see it as going from a $60 base game + $15 DLC ($75 for those who are counting ) to a $50 remaster, plus the extra stuff. I think that's a pretty good value for a remaster.
To answer to how much a game is worth is very personal. Whether Sony under prices its games or Nintendo over prices its game, or whatever other publishers do, I don't know. I do know that they are competing for my time and money. So if I had to pick between Tropical Freeze and Shadow of the Colossus for example, I'd pick the latter. I never played the PS3 remaster, so it's been a while, and I have still €20 left I can put towards an indie game or two. And whilst I absolutely love Tropical Freeze, I played that game very recently. That's how I always look at it. How much does it cost, what else can I get for the same price and how much do I want to play it right now?

Agree!! I like my money to stretch. The remake of SOTC to me is worth $60 compared to the re-issue of Tropical Freeze. Sony/Bluepoint actually spent some time, money and TLC in that game... Nintendo slaps on an easy mode and does some reprogramming for portability.... Prices are ass backwards on this one.
The only gripe I have with discussion about pricing is the view that owning multiple consoles and being able to cherry pick from every game released at any given time is normal as opposed to a luxury.
I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes.

But do you not have the ability to own multiple consoles? Everyone has the ability... I think it comes down to choice. BTW I'm married and have 3 kids with one in college just to give you and idea about my life situation.
@MarcelRguez I'd argue it's on publishers to make their own model sustainable. If it's not, they should probably roll budgets back instead of nickle and diming consumers and saying "it's required" because they can't control their own budget.
@MarcelRguez Wasn't directed at you mate. Kind of went off on a tangent there. It's an observation/opinion I've had for a few years now & it's frustrating.
I buy & play a lot of games. It's an expensive hobby of mine, but I can't justify being taken for a ride, especially when cheaper alternatives are available.
Anyways just to add a little positivity to the thread...
Going to make my first Switch purchase of the year in Owlboy & going to pick up a Pro controller in preparation of Bayonetta over the weekend.

I like what you're throwing down... these publishers are a little greedy for their own good. I get tired of the woe is me about game companies... I'm all about full on support for Indie companies and the ones that actually struggle... Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA, etc.. can afford to be pro-consumer and shave a little off their profit and price their games correctly.
@MarcelRguez Yeah, I agree. Of course, it's their right. I'm not angry at them or anything like that. I just find it a bit peculiar that its price is higher than what it originally was on the Wii U, despite being a port of a four year old game. I have no issue with skipping it though. My Wii U is still hooked up to my TV, and I can play Tropical Freeze any time I want.
My approach for ports/remasters is different for Switch than other platforms for 2 reasons.
1. Portability
2. I think it's fairly likely that if you get the Wii U ports there'll be a time in the Switch's lifespan where there's absolutely no reason to use the Wii U.
I really liked the Wii U but if I can get everything I bought on Wii U that I liked on Switch in some form (Splatoon 2 getting all or the vast majority of Splatoon Wii U's maps counts as Splatoon Wii U on Switch for example) that'll be even better.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.
@Anti-Matter Actually this is the case in our house too. My PS4 isn't played much currently. We watch Blu-rays on it though!!!
We purchased our PS4 basically to play The Last Guardian and FIFA; and to catch up on games we missed by not owning a PS3 (The Last of Us, Uncharted). But, I don't think the PS4 is bad and that there's no games on it either. Personally there are a ton of great games on the PS4 but every time one is released, I'm really into something else that happens to be on the Switch.

@dkxcalibur
You know what happen with PS4 lately ?
I have "Eliminate" another 3 PS4 games again once FF XII, FF X/X-2 & World of Final Fantasy Maxima has announced for Nintendo Switch.
I will sell those games once i got the Switch version.
Like a Dream comes true, so i saw my PS4 version of those games suddenly worthless.
Now, i just only have 3 PS4 games left :
1. The Sims 4
2. Portal Knights
3. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5
And i feel regret to buy PS4 but i still need PS4 to play The Sims 4 on console version since i don't play PC games anymore.
Oh well.....
And Goodness knows
The wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The wicked die alone...
@Anti-Matter I still plan on picking up Spider-Man and The Witcher at some point. Also, Horizon Zero Dawn looks great. I also, keep telling my kids they need to play Shadow of the Colossus.
I was basically the same way for Monster Hunter. I don't have anything against Monster Hunter on PS4 but the portability of the Switch makes the series better on the Switch IMO.
