You do you. Personally, Nintendo can go fuck themselves at that price.

Still cheap, need to cost at least $100.

Gaming is just hobby, not life essential. If you don't like the price then don't buy it.
I felt same way about PS5 pro for asking $950+$100 CAD for disc drive and just for graphical upgrade and won't ever have its own exclusives…..so I decide not to buy it.

That's good to know, Switch 2 would be my first Nintendo console in a very very long time which I plan to buy after more games comes for it in the following years and always wanted to catch up on the BoTW, Age of Calamity, ToTK, and now Imprisonment War for 4 games.
But only getting the three older ones at a discount with dlcs included with some future edition. And if it never happens than it's no big deal since while I wanna experience them, but they also arent on my must play list. So not playing them won't be a huge deal for me as I'm not too into their art style anyway.

Who did they think I was shilling for?
Demand and supply, how these things work? Imagine a small town with only 10 apples:
- If everyone wants apples, the seller can charge more.
- If no one wants apples, the seller has to lower the price to sell them.

Obvious. As I was recently told by a Sony fanboy here: "corporations are out to make money, so stop calling this or that "greedy" as they are here solely to make money."

This is a rip-off from Nintendo. Asking for $70 or €80 in Europe for a remaster of a 2017 game and not even including the DLC is downright miserable. The worst part is that there are people who will defend it.

If they did launched DS3 on PS5 with no DLC at $70, I'd say the same thing: Don't buy if you think it's not worth it. I wouldn't... And that's about it.
There's no rule (and should not be as well) that demands companies to give away DLCs on future re-releases, companies do that because of marketing, not out of principles or whatever, if they all could sell you the games for limited time (say, 1 months license and then you have to pay again) and get away with it, they would, all of them. But they don't because it's bad for the business, not because they have principles.
They're all companies, they're not personally attacking people out of hatred or whatever, they just do business, you then see if the business meets your standards and if it doesn't, you walk away and go do business with other companies instead, there are no feelings involved as you and others want to see it.

Neither of those games are complete editions, Just better versions of the Wii U version, some even have new dlcs like Mario Kart 8 deluxe.

2 of those are not developed by Nintendo. One is KT and the other is Bamco. The other 2 are WiiU re-releases, one of which got tons more DLC over the years. NSMBU is an outlier to Nintendo's norm.
What needs to happen is: MK8 Complete, SSMBU Complete, Splatoon Complete, BOTW Complete, Xenoblade 2 Complete, Fire Emblem Complete etc etc etc
People have been complaining about this for years and any Switch 2 Version/re-release should be the complete package.
I am not defending corporate greed. I am simply not getting emotional about Nintendo game prices...

There are 4 games listed there, all of which were complete editions at their time of release, with all DLC's released up to that date included.
Nintendo not including BotW DLC in their Switch 2 re-release of an 8 year old game goes against their own precedent and, once again, reeks of pure greed.

after rereading the dude I quoted tho yea I see it but some people do seem to be as serious as heart attack on some of the pricing.

I'm curious what your logic is for how Nintendo licensed games somehow 'don't count.'
But even if we assume your strange categorization, please explain:
- Pikmin 3 Deluxe (all Wii U DLC included)
- Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive (all Wii U DLC included)

Still illegal unless you rip it yourself, and even then it is arguable.

It is somewhat impressive that Nintendo has trained people to buy 5 year old games for €70.
I'm glad I got a PC as a teenager so that I avoided this dark fate.

You can count them, idc, but I don't.
XBX's DLCs were already included in the western version, so the game was already "complete" on WiiU. Now you could still make the argument that the NA release from back then is a "GOTY" release, but DE is certainly not that as that game is based on the western release (hence the japanese version is also censored).
Listen, if it makes you happy, you are technically correct. Nintendo has released versions of a handful of their games that were "complete". They just haven't done it in the past 5ish years... like when they actually started to make DLC for almost all big games in their portfolio.
Honestly, at this point, Nintendo could literally release a PS2 tier game(Not talking about BOTW its great) and sell it for $ $100, and their fanboys would buy it and defend Nintendo. We have seen Pokemon games released looking like PS2 games, janky as hell and low-effort on the Switch, and they sell like crazy. Expecting most Nintendo fans to be nuanced or even remotely unbiased regarding the company is a foolish endeavor. All fanboys are bad but damn the loyalty of nitendo fanboys is something else.

That Ghost of Tsushima comparison doesn't work (at all, frankly) because:
- There was no paid upgrade path from the PS4 to PS5 version that excluded the Director's Cut DLC, which is exactly what's happening here with Zelda.
- Playing the PS4 version on PS5 gave you 60fps and dynamic 4K res for free via Boost mode, unlike Zelda's $10 upgrade for the same thing.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Complete Edition" for Switch 2 for $60... includes original Switch cart, DLC codes for the expansions and a code for the Switch 2 upgrade. All in one convenient package.
The version that Nintendo intend to sell is a disgrace in my opinion and just an outright cash grab. There is absolutely no reason they could not have included the DLC codes in the same case for an eight year-old game re-release as it is just downloadable content and isn't costing them any extra money to make (just a very small cost for the printed codes which they need to do for the Switch upgrade code anyway)!!

Do people honestly think 450 is too much? I just don't get it.
Also the rest is bollox.
Go pick up a pre owned cartridge only on eBay for like 20 quid.

Well, there's a reason: it's just a patch for upgraded graphics with some additional, not a full remaster

Faux outrage at best. Simply go on e-bay buy a second hand copy of either BOTW or TOTK..... Then the Switch 2 upgrades are free with the Nintendo Switch online expansion pack.
First, a $450 hardware price, more than most were expecting. Then, the $80 charge for Mario Kart World, beyond what any other game costs in the industry.
Now, here's another smaller example of Nintendo annoying its fans, but it's frustrating all the same. This has to do with its exhausting pricing scheme for old games, in this case, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
• The original Breath of the Wild cost $60. The DLC cost $20. You can play this on Switch 2 via backward compatibility.
• However, there's an Switch 2 "enhanced" edition of the game with better performance and graphics. If you own Switch 1 Breath of the Wild, you can pay $10 to "upgrade." So over the course of it's lifespan, you will have paid $90.
• If you do not have the original, Switch 2 Breath of the Wild costs $70. However, it does not include the DLC for the now eight year-old game, which would be $20 extra, for again, a $90 total purchase.
Nintendo Says Switch 2 ‘Breath Of The Wild’ Is $90 With DLC
Nintendo has had one of the worst reveals of a new console in recent memory, even if ultimately, it’s more than likely the Switch 2 will be a hit. Now, Zelda drama.www.forbes.com

I mean - Switch 2 is lol, but even I can't fucking complain here. The used one can be bought for 35€, you don't really need a DLC for hundreds of hours, add 10€ for the upgrade. Complaining about 45€ is pushing it.

What were the actual fps in Korok Forest? It felt like 15fps last I played it. I wondered why they even included that part when it was so horrifically lousy.

I guess you would say this if a decade old Ubisoft game were rereleased without the DLC included lol.
"Who cares you already bought it"
I bought BOTW on Wii U. Then, I gave my Switch copy to a friend after I beat it.
Not that my personal story matters whatsoever lol. It's fine, I just won't buy it a third time.

imagine the outrage if Sony had never cut the price for Horizon… or heck just look at how people are reacting to the TLOU: Complete Edition which is just a bundle of two games for $100
not to mention the DLC (Iki Island) for GoT was NEW and released at the same time as the PS5 version

This opinion is always gonna be stupid, doesn't have to do with a specific brand, but with people having to find any reason to channel their negativity on the internet like companies owe them shit.
If this fake outrage disappeared today, you'll have another one tomorrow saying:
"Nintendo representative confirmed that the Wiimote controles can't be used on the Switch 2"
Then you'll have other media happy because they found the rage bait flavor for the next couple days to drive traffic:
"Nintendo blocks these controllers from playing on Switch 2 games"
Then a YouTube channel:
"Remember when we used to have fun with wiimotes? Now we can't"
And so on and so forth.
It's just stupid and you like that because of whatever reason, IDK, they're scratching anything some people don't like and push it stupidly as a big controversy just to keep getting clicks and views because, unfortunately, that's what drives internet these days, frustrated people needing to channel their frustration at toys lol
