Holy shit, they're trying to say nintendo made it available but like, no, its locked onto their platform. This isn't a release I can take anywhere but where they deem it. Release it on Steam, GOG, or even another console or all of them. Thats availability.

20 usd for a more than 20 year old game is also a crime

maybe as a physical release because the store and manufacturer take a cut, but when nintendo gets all the money for no marginal effort on their part it should be $2

Pokemon Sun (2016) was released for $40. Right now, in 2026, the nearest retail store that stocks it is listing it for $40. Nintendo seems to think their games do not decrease in value over time (except inflation I guess?)

nintendo's playbook has always been platform exclusivity, you need to buy their box to play their games, lmao, fullstop, i think the company will prefer to go bust before they cross this principle
