I'm still waiting for those Switch Selects (or whatever Nintendo calls their greatest hits). We're almost 5 years in.

Once Nintendo realized they could release 5+ year old games, put a little shine on them, and sell them for $60 this program went out the window.

I played it long enough to justify the cost.. plus the metroid (2d specifically) is one of my all time fav series so I'm happy

It's really good, sometimes fantastic for what it is and what it's trying to be. I just struggle justifying $60 for this when a game like RDR2 was also $60. Maybe that one should've just been more expensive.

It'll be strange if BotW, Bayonetta 2 and Splatoon 2 are $60 when they will be side-by-side on the shelf with BotW2, Bayonetta 3 and Splatoon 3 for $60. It's time for Greatest Hits for $20.
