    Nintendo Selects are genuinely insanely good. Pretty much all must haves plus the packaging actually looks special instead of like a tumor

      @felonyx5123 Рік тому +25

      Agree to disagree. The big frame around the cover art always looks worse than the top banners. Platinum Hits can be uglier but Nintendo Selects is the second-worse to me.

    As far as re-release packaging goes, I actually really love the look of Nintendo Selects. That gold ribbon coming off the top and the deep velvet red looks so classy, and it looks like the cover art of the game is framed like it's hanging in a museum. Despite being "budget" re-releases it still felt PREMIUM. Wish they brought it back for Switch.

      I loved the Selects look as well, especially after the players choice yellow banners on the gamecube. The whole selects idea felt like a love letter to players. It was a way for new players to jump into huge games that had already sold well and were widely loved. I do not understand why we don’t have it yet in Nintendo’s most financially explosive time ever. They’re raking in billions between hardware and software sales. How great it would be to get BoTW, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, MK8, and others with that select banner. I might actually go out and buy some of my games again to have it. I’ve been digital only since launch in 2017 so as to share games with my son. Anyways, back to real life lol

    • @jeddysteve8330

      I think that was the best part about those games. As a kid, if you wanted a game you had to save up A LOT, wait until a holiday, or beg a family member to buy it for you.
      Nintendo Selects however, you could afford it on your own and get full price quality games.
      It’s a shame they don’t do them anymore, but it does make sense considering how successful the Switch is. There’s no need to milk longevity out of a console that can’t seem to stop selling units.

    It’s interesting, as a kid I never put together that greatest hits were cheaper rereleases of physical games. I thought it was just a way for them to show off that a game had sold really well.
    Nintendo Selects though? Somehow the messaging got through to me that Nintendo Selects equals a $20 game. I don’t think I prefer it to Player’s Choice but it did make what it was a lot clearer to your average child.

    I never like the budget line re-releases for any console, but I do have a couple Nintendo Selects: Ocarina of Time 3D and Super Paper Mario. I actually like them more than their originally releases, because the Selects border and ribbon make them feel like storybooks, and the games already felt like storybooks anyway.

    WiiSports having a cardboard sleeve as the only Non-Budget release must have only been in North America because both it and Link’s Crossbow Training always had proper Wii cases here in Australia. If you want an official WiiSports game case that isn’t selects, import one from Australia. I don’t know how much it would cost importing from Australia to the States (cos hell, it’s pricey the other way around) but maybe you find it worthwhile

    With almost everything being digital now , I understand how it would be hard to do this now. To be clear , Nintendo games would sell like bonkers if they dropped prices periodically.
    As of right now the only first party games I get are ones I know that I will like. That wouldn't be the case if six year old games weren't sixty dollars.

  • @Soul_Devour
    @Soul_Devour Рік тому

    I think it’s telling that so many GameCube games received Player’s Choice re-releases throughout its generation whereas the Wii only had a few Nintendo Selects towards the end of its lifespan and when it started faltering.
    If the Switch ever sees its own line of Nintendo Selects, I wouldn’t expect to see anything until roughly 1 year before Nintendo’s next thing. They simply lack the incentive to do so if the games continue to sell at full price and especially if people are willing to buy a digital version that doesn’t require any physical manufacturing.
