@keiichi-desu it doesn't surprise me that much. It's because there's no other choice if you want them (legally) on Switch. But I think these prices are not cool.
I wish Nintendo stopped at 151. Does it sound crazy? Let me explain. The first batch of Pokémons, which was already big, made it still possible to feel connected to the monsters. Now there's just too many and I can't pick favorite ones etc. And don't get me started with saying how much worse the newer monsters are in terms of design, likability etc. It's just a cash cow at this point.
I hate it when people call Nintendo Switch "weak". It's not. Yes, it's weaker than newer consoles, but it's not weak. People overuse relativism. Game like Pokémon Scarlet / Violet is not something extraordinarily demanding in terms of tech. Also, it's an exclusive title. The only explanation is that the developer did a poor job while optimizing the game, period. Don't fall into this trap of thinking that "not the best equals bad". It's the same in the Apple universe - people tend to forget that the power of next gen iPhone is almost the same as the previous one. The system doesn't change much, but users would still think they need the newest iPhone to be up to date. This is just insane!
The billboard itself is really cool, but I'm so underwhelmed with all the new Pokémon designs. Every new generation has less and less inspired monster designs. Meh.

Re: Anniversary: Arcade Archives Nintendo Collection Goes On Sale For The "First Time" Ever
Great games, but they are still overpriced, even after the 30% discount. Like come on, they are ancient games.

@Anti-Matter yeah, that business practice sucks from customer's point of view. It's very convenient for Nintendo though.
