They are selling this shitty port at 60$. What makes you think they won't sell a Triforce Collection for 180$?
Well, they sold Metroid Prime Trilogy for 60$ so

Weirdest part is people flat out pretending you can't not buy it if it offends your sensibilities that much. The overlap between people who own a Wii U, has it plugged to the TV and would suddenly get a craving for some Pikmin 3 can't be very large.
However, the whole thing is very par for course on a Nintendo related thread.
The Switch is a paid beta test for the next Nintendo console and/or handheld.
Ok i never had those problems so i just played it with the gamepad and it was fine.
I also usually don't read gamespot reviews, i have a feeling that they are not critical but just trying to be edgy with some of the remarks they make
If Nintendo announced "Switch 2 is totally free and all games are free too" then you'd have people on here moaning because they spent 6 months going without snacks and soda to save for the new console.
I would point to things like the Joy Cons as "anti consumer" since it seems a lot of them have issues and you are stuck for weeks not playing your console if you want to get it fixed.
For some folks they look at a company saying "do you want to buy our product, it costs 60 bucks" as anti-consumer.
Same with "oh that product isn't available anymore". That's not anti-consumer.
De-listing the game from Wii U means the game isn't available on Wii U anymore. That's it.
You wanted to buy it on Wii U? Sorry, it's not available.
Reeeeeeeeeeeeee! Anti-consumer!
It's basically a non-issue but we have people here who are looking forward to Pikmin 3 so we'd better burst that bubble ASAP!
Possibly, but the way you state it holds no weight because it is posted with no basis other than ignorance.
Perfectly how I feel about this. This anticonsumer TheQuartering thing needs to stop, it's so goddamn moronic. A product being priced in any way isn't anticonsumer because the consumer can always voice their displeasure by NOT BUYING IT.
Seriously, there's no thing that makes me cringe more than any complaint that start with a variation of "as a consumer".
Then again, like you said, it IS Nintendo. People will find something to shitpost about.
Consumers shouldn't be able to discuss the things they dislike (on a discussion board no less)? Not buying it is the only option a consumer should have?
I mean looking at your post history your hate boner for the switch seems to be your shtick which seems to be why you have been doing nothing on this board but going hard in this thread for 24 hours, why most people have ignored you. I suggest most do the same.

SIXTY US DOLLARS!
Huge Nintendo shill, but come on Ninty LMAO.
There was no reason to delist it more than “... because we could, suck it up!”...
Quite sad to start with insults.Right, well it wasn't ONLY Gamespot that noticed it, good defense though, multiple reviewers had this issue. Attacking the source instead of directly addressing the issue, is a what a good Nintendo fanboi does.
No, it's because they didn't want people who own a Wii U to buy it for $20 instead of paying $60 on the Switch.
I for one would like to thank Nintendo for giving me the opportunity to be a part of their (paid) Switch beta testing programme A.K.A the Wii U.
FWIW, charging $60 for Pikmin 3 is obscene. It's a middle finger to those who supported the game on the Wii U, and the fact they removed it from the Wii U e-Shop is goddamn hilarious. I'll continue to vote with my wallet (i.e. not buying anything outside of Animal Crossing) this year. Do I think it's anti-consumer? Yes. But whatever, if they think ports of 7-year-old games counts as a major October release, rather than a tentpole release to keep fans ticking over between the big hitters, then so be it.
I hope it sells well, I hope it makes them a tidy profit because it is a fantastic game, but they are only pushing me away with this port garbage. I've owned every Nintendo system since the SNES, the last 18 months of the Switch have been pure awful. I'm not rebuying shit I've already beaten in recent memory. Keep going for the easy money Nintendo, should be a fun ride.
Would it have really been hard to release a Pikmin trilogy for $60 and spruce up the other two games? I mean, seven years... I can go play this game right now if wanted to, my Wii U is still hooked up. I could still download Xenoblade on Wii U's e-shop if I wanted to (or can I?) for less than a third the price of your remastered version. I honestly don't understand why are they doing this? Can they just not be arsed to give us any new games? The direct situation makes it even worse. Nothing to get excited for that isn't miles off. I really don't get it, 2017 was one of the best years in gaming and Nintendo have dropped the ball so goddamn hard in '19 and '20. Great if you never owned a Wii U, I'm sure, but, for me at least, this all just spits in the face of people who did.
My 2c.
