Indeed. Don't pay it. Let the collectors waste their money on actual discs and cartridges.
You can buy a Wii (get one with a broken drive, it's cheaper), hack it, add a USB hard drive, download the game (and every other Gamecube and Wii game), and put it on the hard drive. Total cost will be around $60, give or take.

The Faustian pact that Shigeru Miyamoto made with the Devil in 1985 stipulates that after two decades of golden games, another three decades of deliberately shitting on their own history must follow. We are in the midst of this "Reign of Crap" as we speak.

The GameCube in general has been continuously ignored despite people clamoring for its exclusives to be released digitally for years. I see no reason the Switch hardware wouldn’t be able to emulate GC games.

[Anonymous No.7941659]

>>7941650
Nintendo is extremely ashamed of the GCN era for some reason. It's probably because it was the last time that (1) they truly tried to compete with the normal market and (2) NoA had an extreme amount of control over the Western market. Modern Nintendo almost assuredly sees the decisions that it made during the period as mistakes. It didn't try to blaze a new trail, it tried to play with the other two companies and got BTFO. Why be reminded of it? Of course I'm thinking within a few years Nintendo will regret not tapping into GCN nostalgia while they could. I guarantee they'll attempt to make Wii nostalgia a thing way too late too.

[Anonymous No.7941670]

>>7941659
To add to this, modern Nintendo also realizes that a lot of mistakes were made with the Wii, even if it adamantly refused to acknowledge them at the time. The market was screaming at them that the Wii was a fad and Nintendo was becoming irrelevant but they just kept arrogantly trudging through for a good six plus years before finally conceding that their "blue ocean" had dried up.

Treehouse was just a fucking mess sure, but the solution wasn't completely fucking gutting NoA and removing any talent/initiative/marketing power that it had. Animal Crossing would never ever have been a big thing without 00s Treehouse localizing it, it was Reggie that ran it into the ground first and then people came on that translated things poorly, then they got fired and now there's basically nothing left of it. Modern NoA knows a lot of things Westerners want: it knows people want regular Paper Mario again, for one. It needs to be given more control, all it really does now is just run social media accounts and sue ROM sites.

They made new Gamecube controllers for the Smash Wii u and smash ultimate, that would have been the perfect time to start rolling out Gamecube titles again. if they could make accessories from that era again, rereleasing games from that same time shouldn't be any different.

They didn't think spending money on old games by themselves was a good deal or something. People in Japan had been asking for a subscription service for years, apparently.
>>7941690
They'd never re-release a game like Double Dash or Melee, that would just cut into modern sales. And the 3D All Stars collection means they'd just dump an ISO onto the eShop and call it a day anyway. 3DAS was such a disappointment, Sunshine needed a bunch of tweaks and QoL changes and now we'll never fucking get them.

Oh yeah, the late Wii U Treehouse staff is gone, or at the very least under very strict guidelines. They basically do nothing but Google Translate games at this point, and change "gender" to "style" for some reason. That's probably the people who are still holdovers from the past era.

Look at how they marketed TOK and tried to hide that it wasn't a real RPG until the very last minute, they know Westerners want a classic RPG back but had to market it. For fuck's sakes, NoA promoted Bug Fables. That should say something.

They do, and then people just say "but what about this game" (to people who are likely not the rights holders, mind you) or "why would I spend this much when it's free online" (so why did you want a pre-release if you were never going to pay for one?)

They changed up their online shit too many times between the Wii and the switch to ever do a good job reconciling all of that download stuff. Did you know that downloading an nes game on Wii, Wii U, and 3DS would all count as separate versions, since they're counted as different systems? So they should do what then, give people that bought them on an old system a free emulator for their switch? Why would they do that? It makes no sense to do free work because someone feels entitled to it.

That's such a hair-splitting argument. Mitsumi made the controllers, but it was clearly fulfilling a contract for Nintendo to make the controllers. Nintendo effectively owns the production on those controllers, because they would be the ones ordering them made. You might as well say Nintendo didn't make the famicom disk system too, since mitsumi also made that.

Sony and MS have a totally different agenda. Theirs is to make "living systems" where your games are with you forever, and you can play them more or less identically on every box. They can't do it 100%, due to hardships with emulation/compatibility layers (see the incompatibility of PS3 games on PS4 and likewise for PS5), but they are shooting for that. They want to build consoles not as unique entities, but as access devices to an entire brand and its history. You can see that with Xbox as its most far along on that goal so far, with the efforts to maintain or add support for numerous old Xbox games to the new Xbox. In a sense, Xbox and ps goals are to make a gaming PC for people who can't into computer.

Nintendo is making toys for children, and typically also makes them different for each new thing. To them, asking for all VC to be recognized on newer systems would be like giving you a new interior upgrade for your new car, just because it matches the one on the car you bought from them 10 years ago. They are totally separate products with no overlap but for the fact that they happen to be able to do the same thing, which is to play old games.

Hearing your story makes me sad, anon. I'm a zoomer too, and while I didn't grow up with the Gamecube, I do feel sad over the fact that I never got to play anything on my brother's PS2 before it was given away.
The games you have seem very dear to you, and it shows.
If you want to keep playing your childhood favorites I'd recommend you to hack your Gamecube and load games off an SD card through Action Replay or an ODE if any has been released.
I don't have much else to say, but I hope you liked reading my thoughts on your situation.
