Nintendo Selects

I take a peek at the Nintendo Selects line for the Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

Nintendo really needs to bring this back for the switch so 6 year old games like Breath of the Wild and Mario odyssey aren’t still 60 dollars

[@bishopmedia4580]

hopefully

Call it a gut feeling that’s coping really hard, but I feel like if it were to happen, it’d be next year.

Nintendo Selects are genuinely insanely good. Pretty much all must haves plus the packaging actually looks special instead of like a tumor

[@felonyx5123]

Agree to disagree. The big frame around the cover art always looks worse than the top banners. Platinum Hits can be uglier but Nintendo Selects is the second-worse to me.

As far as re-release packaging goes, I actually really love the look of Nintendo Selects. That gold ribbon coming off the top and the deep velvet red looks so classy, and it looks like the cover art of the game is framed like it's hanging in a museum. Despite being "budget" re-releases it still felt PREMIUM. Wish they brought it back for Switch.

[@zacharybecker8228]

I love the look too I never really got any cus I was normally on top of getting most games I want pretty quickly after launch like typically within a year

[@hxh05g]

I loved the Selects look as well, especially after the players choice yellow banners on the gamecube. The whole selects idea felt like a love letter to players. It was a way for new players to jump into huge games that had already sold well and were widely loved. I do not understand why we don’t have it yet in Nintendo’s most financially explosive time ever. They’re raking in billions between hardware and software sales. How great it would be to get BoTW, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, MK8, and others with that select banner. I might actually go out and buy some of my games again to have it. I’ve been digital only since launch in 2017 so as to share games with my son. Anyways, back to real life lol

I understand that LESS work goes into these than main channel, but it's almost as entertaining. Thanks for the consistent content Scott

[@giannamana9694]

I would absolutely argue this channel is on par with the main channel. Here though, the focus is obviously not the bits and edits, but Scott talking about the topic in the title. Not as "fun" but just as entertaining to me.

[@DekuScrub_]

during the wii and 3ds era, i basically lived off nintendo selects. the fact that i could buy a link between worlds or ocarina of time 3d for £15 or super smash bros brawl or wii sports resort for £20 was a major win as a kid

[@jeddysteve8330]

I think that was the best part about those games. As a kid, if you wanted a game you had to save up A LOT, wait until a holiday, or beg a family member to buy it for you. Nintendo Selects however, you could afford it on your own and get full price quality games. It’s a shame they don’t do them anymore, but it does make sense considering how successful the Switch is. There’s no need to milk longevity out of a console that can’t seem to stop selling units.

I wished they would do this to Nintendo Switch as well. Yoshi's Crafty World and Link's Awakening are games I am kinda interested to play, but i don't want to pay $60 for them. Even if they reduced it to $30 instead of $20, I would go for it.

[@ricahrdb]

Nintendo e-shop Selects was a nice idea. Limited Run sort of ran with that idea basing their whole business on creating physical releases of games that were only released in e-shop.

[@Jasontyo]

Odyssey, Splatoon, MK8, and BotW never dropping to $29.99 or less is a tragedy. Even digital only

[@DanSutherland]

The redesigned covers never really bothered me. I much rather just be able to afford the games, also just a great way to find many of the "must own titles"

[@theotherjared9824]

These budget rereleases work well when a new console comes out. It gives the hold outs something to play with if they missed out, and provides a more packed lineup for the new console if backwards compatibility is an option.

[@poppip10]

i honestly don’t get the stigma against nintendo selects, it’s how i got mario galaxy for 10 bucks and that’s awesome (i got it used if i remember correctly)

[@bland9876]

Digital games getting a physical release is what Microsoft did on the 360. I still have a physical copy of symphony of the Night, geometry wars, and feeding frenzy.

[@MeerkatP]

If it makes you feel any better I keep my American and Japanese GameCube games mixed together so not only is there Player's Choice but also boxes of completely different sizes mixed together.

That upsets my OCD. You're a monster 😱

[@nsgames24]

Still wish that they made FE: Awakening and Kid Icarus: Uprising part of Nintendo Selects on N3DS, though

[@ja52ng74]

Huh, the non-selects Wii Sports that were bundled with the Wii in Australia were always in regular plastic cases instead of cardboard ones. The gamecube players choice games in Australia also changed the Gamecube black banner to a silver/platinum shade. Must be a PAL/NTSC thing.

[@DS9TREK]

We got in a plastic case in the UK too

[@shrimpshufflr7745]

Nintendo like PAL regions more than NA back then

[@jacobserperior]

Nintendo did do some releases of DS Mario games. They put them out in Red cases instead of the typical gray. I have my copy of Partners in Time this way because I got it late, the red actually compliments the cover art. I can't remember if they made them cheaper or not, but I want to say they did. It's been so long I can't remember.

[@jamesrgamesoffical]

They did that for the 3ds, layer copies of mario games had the red case instead

[@superjew837]

It’s interesting, as a kid I never put together that greatest hits were cheaper rereleases of physical games. I thought it was just a way for them to show off that a game had sold really well. Nintendo Selects though? Somehow the messaging got through to me that Nintendo Selects equals a $20 game. I don’t think I prefer it to Player’s Choice but it did make what it was a lot clearer to your average child.

[@ImNotaCasualty]

when talking about the re-released wii sports and nintendoland, Scott forgets these are kids games and kids break discs really easily so releasing a game that you couldn't previously buy in in stores is really smart.

[@Darule514]

I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't brought back the Nintendo Selects line (30 bucks price cut) for the Switch yet. Hopefully they do that could boost even more in software sales numbers.

[@HenrikoMagnifico]

I suspect they're not doing Nintendo Selects for Switch games because the next console is planned to be fully backwards compatible, so they could still make a ton more money of older Switch games on the new system.

[@TYLRMN8R]

Absolutely love the rate at which these videos drop. I do closing work shifts and run the floor machine through my workplace and find this kind of content to be so much fun to listen to. Thanks man!!! 🙌🙌

[@dellosayshello5405]

Honestly this could’ve been a regular Scott episode if he hasn’t already done player choice

[@TorutheRedFox]

the PAL GameCube player's choice boxes are actually pretty cool, with the whole box taking on a silver color aside from the art exclusive to the game itself yes even the plastic of the case itself

[@SilverSpireZ]

Funny enough, Nintendo Selects is how I managed to get Nintendo Land on my Wii U. My system was the bundle with Smash and Splatoon, so I didn’t have it as a pack-in title. It was also around the time where Nintendo Land was re-released under the Selects branding.

[@ImtheYolk]

My family couldn’t afford new games growing up, especially during the GameCube era where my parents still thought video games were interesting, we only ever got used movie games and these gave us an opportunity to play actual Nintendo games. The “ugly” yellow design was something I actually associated with a good thing as a kid because I thought it meant it was nintendos picks and the best games you could get lol just saw it like badge

[@superdajoka]

Why did Nintendo stop doing this? I wish they kept doing these because some of their switch games are SIX years old, yet still cost 60 dollars, especially some games that never deserved that price tag like Mario Tennis Aces and Arms

[@GmNdWtchr96]

Because some people will still pay full price...

[@jesusbarrera6916]

Nintendo has realized they have too many fans with the lowest standards in the game industry

[@Tatman2TheResQ]

Answered your own question.

[@leonro]

Yeah, I get that games like Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey keep selling constantly without needing a boost (nevermind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe), but there's titles like Arms, Mario Tennis Aces, Splatoon 2 (+DLC), Astral Chain, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, Kirby Star Allies, Yoshi's Crafted World, Link's Awakening and so on that have been succeeded or simply forgotten. Re-releasing them at a lower price point would definitely help boost game sales.

It honestly made sense for Nintendo to re-release Wii Sports. Considering how popular the Wii was with casuals, especially children, there's a good chance the Wii Sports discs could've been destroyed or gone missing, so now it was easier to get a replacement copy.

[@marksmithwas12]

I'm tempted to think that it's possible Nintendo Selects was an idea created for the PAL region, but at the last minute was lent over to the US territory. It could explain some of the weirdness you described 🤔 Also, what did you think of the Player's Choice designs in the PAL region? I was expecting you to talk about it given how much you mentioned the PAL region in this video, but you didn't 😕

[@DekuScrub_]

yeah im surprised we got a lot more selects than america considering that we usually get shafted by nintendo when it comes to cool stuff like this. i'll always appreciate it though since being able to get some of the wii and 3ds' killer apps for cheap was something i always appreciated as a kid

[@CharlieBoy1089]

In at least the UK, early Wii's came with a boxed copy of Wii Sports! Later pack ins would change to the cardboard sleeve as seen here

[@LadyDarkHatter]

Personally I liked that Nintendo re-released WiiSports as a Select because I found that it was surprisingly easy to lose track of the pack-in title due to its stupid little sleeve, so it was a nice saving grace. But, of course, around this time, you would be better off just getting Resort

[@SakuraAvalon]

The best thing about the Nintendo Selects in Canada, is the price increase didn't happen until late into the 3DS' life. So, a lot of these Nintendo Selects only saved you 10 dollars. So, you could have already gotten these games at EBGames for the same price by then.

[@AltoRosei]

The fact Nintendo hasn't and might not do this for switch is just unacceptable when we have something like splatoon 2 and splatoon 3 BOTH AT 60$

[@noodle4492]

With almost everything being digital now , I understand how it would be hard to do this now. To be clear , Nintendo games would sell like bonkers if they dropped prices periodically. As of right now the only first party games I get are ones I know that I will like. That wouldn't be the case if six year old games weren't sixty dollars.

[@thebigbean8783]

[@henrymullin5574]

129.42 million units sold and you think selects are what they need? So you get more games but spend the same amount. That is success for who? Bad, bad take.

[@thebigbean8783]

@henrymullin5574 the wii sold 100 mill and wouldn't ya believe it. Nintendo selects. I've passed on at least 20 switch games because I'm not spending 60 dollars over and over, and neither are a lot of people. Especially in this economy, discounted games would fly off the shelves. And the numbers are what matters. The people that are willing to pay 60 dollars already have. Time to get more sales. Dumbass

[@Tingletonttu]

Possibly has the do with cost of cartridges vs. cds

[@koztech]

So, with the Wii U, when I got to select the "free" game, I chose Wind Wake HD. And I'm glad I did! I was, like many others, initially turned off by the original. But playing the HD remake, wow! Loved it!

[@PinderProductions]

The fact that selects came out in both 2011 and 2016 just before a new console came out, we can gather there won't be a switch 2 until after switch selects.... unless Nintendo do a Nintendo
