It being on NSO isn't really going to do much to change the value tbh.

One of the rarest first party GameCube games isn't it? Good on them for making it available.

Yep. No one else would get away with this. To play this game it is minimum $50 with no option to own it.

Awesome shadow drop.

They could have done same way Sony did with Jeanne d'Arc.
You can get it for free if you own PS+ or you could just normally buy from PSN store.

Or Gamepass. Everyone let's you buy it but Nintendo.
You guys complaining in this thread should share a subscription. Even better stock up on some discounted eshop credit first.

I can easily get subscriptions but don't get one just for one game and don't play online games.
I just want to buy the game normally.

Missed out on this on the GCN. This is awesome for me.

What time is it?
PS3 games on PS4/PS5 can't be purchased and to play them requires a Plus subscription.

It's funny too we get this before a lot of more famous GameCube games, Nintendo knows what it's doing and that the really rare shit should be the priority.

Probably because it can't even run locally I guess.

I'd never sell mine!
Anyways, been playing it for a few hours and those nostalgia feels are great.
Is there any difference with the non-US version?

I hate subscriptions too man and I wish Nintendo would change their policy. The way they roll out games is SOOOO SLOW!
They could sell games and still have a sub service! Everyone would be happy.
I just went out and bought a 3ds because im so tired of waiting and next Im gonna have to buy a Wii U because Im not a PC gamer and at this rate i'll never have a way to play Twighlight Princess HD and a few others I really want to own.
Been playing Ocarina 3d and Majoras Mask 3d but spent way too much to be able to do so. These are Nintendo games games that are such classics they should be available to buy and play on every new Nintendo platform! I tried to play them through NSO and while the originals aren't terrible they are a hassle to play. Wind Waker has input lag, so does F Zero GX

This! There's no reason (no good reason) that they can't sell these games in addition to the subscriptions. Many people seem to like sub services. I bet in the future they will but now they're worried too much about creating "value" for the subscription.
Nintendo sucks these days man

Absolutely. This was apparent when they launched the service with Chibi-Robo of all games, which is one of my personal favorite GameCube games but not one that the masses give any kind of shit about.
I love the direction they've gone with these, I just wish they were a little bit more frequent or more than one at a time

It's not free if you have PS+, stop paying your subscription then you'll see how free it is.
I just checked my Gmail and saw that I sold mine for $20.70 in September 2011.
I thought it was something called a 'lifehack' at the time to sell games on eBay rather than trade them in at Gamestop.

My point was at least you still have the option to buy the game even without PS+.
Unfortunately Nintendo doesn't give you that option.
Signalis

Definitely, I'd love to buy it, but I'm not going to subscribe to NSO just to play it.

And that was my point. I hate the fact it's NSO exclusive.

Yeah, I love that. And I'm still keeping my GCN copy, it's unlikely to get a remaster and it's considered one of, if not the best of the franchise. Great for collecting still.

Yeah.. I was kind of hoping they'd scrap this, or at least improve it, with the Switch 2.
I really don't like the subscription nature of it. And on top of it all it feels super clunky to have every system be its own separate app on the Home Screen imo..

Nintendo does some strange things to be honest.

I had this in college and the game was too hard for me. I went back and emulated it a few years ago and it was one of the easier Fire Emblems I've played.
The question then becomes, was I just extremely dumb in college or did years of playing all the 3DS and Switch Fire Emblems prepare me for this one?
Also the Path of Radiance soundtrack is now on the Nintendo Music app.

I'm hoping they'll put Battalion Wars on there and that will get a little bit of a second chance.
But really, it'd be nice if they just put every dang first party GameCube game on there, like they did NES and SNES (or very close to it anyway), I get it probably takes a little more time to port a 3D game, but it's frustrating how slow they are, but can't complain too much if this one is already on it.

The narrative if Nintendo charged to purchase for these would be:
"No way am I paying Nintendo $20 for a ROM-dump of a Gamecube game, greedy azz Nintendo"
followed by:
"Their subscription service sucks so bad and doesn't offer anything, lol stupid greedy Nintendo"

Nintendo let you buy anything on Wii U.
Nobody ever said that. I can play GBA games, Metroid Prime Trilogy or Mario 64 on Wii U right now.

I was so hyped when I got my Switch 2 to play SoulCalibur 2 before I realized it was locked behind an even more expensive sub tier than normal. So fucking lame. I would buy this too.
Oh well guess Ill just continue emulating them.

True. I remember playing through all of Earthbound on the Wii U tablet thing. And it was like $10 or something reasonable like that too.
