It's great that Pikmin 3 Deluxe is heading to Switch, but Nintendo removing the Wii U version from the eShop is less great.

Just seems like an anti-consumer move that barely even benefits them. People who own a wii u probably already own the game and even if they don't why would an updated switch version make them want it. Everyone buying it on switch is getting it because either they missed out on it or want to play it again with the new stuff. Idk personally I think Nintendo does this to mask the fact they're selling older games at full price. I'm excited for pikmin 3 but it's a borderline scummy practise I'd expect from EA.
Have to disagree on that one. The game's been out for 7 years. Game was out earlier this year 2020. If you weren't interested in the game you weren't going to get it anyway.
@@vinnymac102 only 1.36 million is nothing compared to 14 million.
Their decision is helped by the fact that the remake has a lot of actually new content (Olimar side story, Piklopedia, etc.)
I feel like if you were tech savy enough to go looking for the older version, you'd be savy enough to know it existed anyway.
I wonder if this is just Search engine optimisation. As the WiiU eshop does have a web-side access. Or they're trying to avoid people selling digital codes for the older version as a scam?
The game is from 2013 and it still costs 60 dollars on the switch. It should be A MAXIMUM of 40. Nintendo somehow made their fans accept this disgusting practice of charging older games at full price.
Hah, they can't remove my physical copy though can they!?
Edit: REGGIE JUST BROKE DOWN MY DOOR WITH A NINTENDO SWAT TEAM AND TOOK MY PHYSICAL COPY!?!?
Wasn’t reggie kidnapped by Bowser?
Reggie would never do that. He’s too busy playing animal crossing new leaf.
Gamestop wants those used copies
was your body ready?
Dear God man
This is why I love Arlo’s channel, he is the biggest Nintendo fan and his content is as family friendly as can be, and he still points out the weird and sometimes outright wrong decisions Nintendo makes. He has integrity and criticizes in a constructive and respectful way, and I’ve found myself agreeing with pretty much everything he’s ever said about Nintendo. Such a stand up guy... err, monster.
The best examples of that are when he says something I agree with...before I even knew that there was something to agree on. Arlo is great at pointing out things that I missed and then subsequently has insightful opinions that I then share.
Beatemups?
jesus barrera he did enjoy the definitive edition
Pikmin
Exactly!
My biggest concern with this isn't specifically the fact that the WiiU version was removed but that Nintendo is basically admitting that the $60 deluxe version isn't worth $40 more than the $20 vanilla version.
Nintendo KNOWS there are people who would choose the WiiU version solely because the Deluxe version doesn't constitute the price hike.
So what has me upset is that Nintendo would rather just remove the WiiU version than make the deluxe version a bigger value proposition.
Eh, I don't think it's really like that. Pikmin 3 Deluxe is adding a ton of content and is polishing a lot of things. A lot of work was put into this port, so it's worth more than $20. They haven't added this much to a port since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (and Xenoblade, but that's more of a remaster.)
I'm not defending Nintendo for this decision, I'm just saying that I don't see it as admitting that the port isn't worth its price.
@@pastarhythm2762 I don't think an argument is being made here when "this much" added and MK8D are in the same conversation.
MK8D with a complete lack of new tracks and a roster expansion smaller than a single smash fighter pass IMO hardly constitutes a deluxe moniker either. All they really did was fix a broken battle mode that was expected in the base game or at the very least a paid update for the wiiU version.
I'm a big supporter of Nintendo, but legacy content and ports aren't something I think Ninty excels at in the slightest. So much so that even this Mario 3D all stars rumor is heavily questioned because people don't believe Ninty would release a compilation when they could just sell each one separately for 60 dollars like they have for Zelda remasters, and other WiiU ports.
Meanwhile a greedy business like Activision will release Spyro and Crash trilogy's for less.
@@pastarhythm2762 More than $20? Sure. $60 for a 7 year old game with some new content and updates? Heck no. Their port pricing has been consistently awful and it prices a lot of people out of the market. They could have picked a much more reasonable price point like $40, but simply didn't. Heck they could have done that price point with some of the smaller *NEW* games that had intended paid DLC, but they didn't. They're simply being greedy really at this point.
@@ProphitDesigns What I was trying to highlight was that most of the Wii U ports don't add a whole lot, with MK8D and Pikmin 3 DX adding much more than usual. Regardless of how much content MK8D actually added, Pikmin 3 really is adding a good bit here. New story content, Piklopedia, the control changes we saw in the recent gameplay reveal, etc. I also think Nintendo handles legacy content rather poorly, but P3D is one of the better ports they've made, no doubt in my mind.
Back on the topic of price, Maybe $60 is still a bit much, but I think it does enough to warrant being over $20.
Eye of the beholder at the end of the day, really.
@@natsume-hime2473 I'm not necessarily saying it should be $60, just that I think it's worth more than $20. So, yeah, I agree with you there.
Thank you for consistently pointing out the anti-consumer actions of Nintendo, Game Freak and others related to the console we all love. I want Nintendo products to remain a rewarding and consumer-friendly company and community and when we point out the flaws it makes us all and Nintendo better. Thank you for not being one of those people who lick corporate boots because they are Nintendo Tubers. We may not agree on everything but you certainly have my respect, Arlo.
Once long ago, in a distant time Nintendo cared not for the pennies of negligible obsolete sales. And so was released... Super Mario All Stars.
Oh how the times have changed.

I would still throw my money at Iwata's ghost if it produced Wind Waker / Twilight Princess / Skyward Sword for Switch.
@@Ebonheart2319 nintendo is a business. theyve always been doing things for money. since long before any of us were alive
stooping to this level is pretty nasty though but a business that doesnt care about money doesnt survive as long as nintendo has
I remember when parents were upset the SNES was not backwards compatible with the NES and Nintendo was accused of double dipping. Ha.
@@Arranus how is an advertisement anti consumer? @.@
@@Arranus
Every single known youtuber is sponsored, don't be a bitch about it.
The first result for me in Google Images when I lookup "arlo and roberta" is a fanart of Arlo sitting on his high horse, Roberta.
The rest are couches
@@professionalb0at I like how the only one with arlo is the first one
Thanks for that
I don’t get his high horse what does it mean when he gets on her
@@dougalbadger4918 Being on a high horse is a saying it means that you're talking in an arrogant way, like everything you say is right. I think Arlo is being hyperbolic since this is very fair criticism of Nintendo.
The game is back on the eShop lmao
Glad Nintendo addressed the issue
"Lemme just climb up onto my high horse" I love it when Arlo gets Shady.
But no seriously Nintendo's been lowkey at this around the last five years or so honestly. What with Joycon drift and their response to it, stock shortages, DKC Tropical Freeze, the quote unquote "Switch tax" regarding games on the eShop that receive Switch ports being marginally more expensive than almost any other platform, the doing away with the concept of the Virtual Console and regulating their legacy content to something akin to a worse Spotify subscription, to the not even lack of releases in 2020 but just the near radio silence on just about every front.
Not to mention too, how they charge and have BEEN charging a full $60 for a remastered game since...well around Wind Waker HD. Whereas when other companies give a game the same treatment? $30 (For Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles) or $40 (for Spyro Reignited Trilogy). And I'm not even talking about a complete ground up remake like Final Fantasy 7 Remake or Shadow of the Colossus for PS4, no just something like Wind Waker HD which in and of itself was a remaster with a few extra things thrown in and a fresh coat of paint.
I do love Nintendo and their content, some of my best memories of childhood were in front of their games with friends beside me, but they really need to evaluate who's lining their investor's pockets.
And what else happened around Wind Waker HD? Reggie left.
(We need you back, Reggie...)
@videoluver7 yep Iwata was the man, he took Nintendo a very long way starting with the DS and Wii
I hate the switch tax and the lack of real deals. I wanted to try alien isolation on switch. Ended up buying on ps4. 30$ vs 5 dollars. I love the, switch hate thd lack of games, and lack of real, deals, for it. The only real deal on the switch is mario rabbids and, dragon ball lol
Not better than EA

@Nygma just cause it’s a fairly older movie doesn’t mean it can’t be funny anymore.

Arlo actually managed to fool me for a sec with his sponsor.
“Wait, today is NOT Raycon?”
As soon as I saw the table and his hand I skipped ahead a minute
Pikmin
SAME HERE!
_Galaxia_ we are opposites. I only watched the first minute. Can’t wait to get my new headphones.
@@ajunglen Did you watch reviews on them or just commercials. Of course the commercials say they're fantastic. Reviews on the other hand tell a different story
the worst part of it imo is that the move feels like an admission that the switch port and the new content in it aren't worth the extra 40$ they're asking for it
I always see these kind of comments about prices and honestly their pretty stupid. Why do people think games should cost less just cause it's a bit old. These kind of comments are basically punches in the face to the devs who worked their ass off for said games.
@@zackrose6261 if that was true, wouldn't the existence of the Nintendo Selects version be the same thing? No, it's scummy as hell to remove that. Most video games hugely drop in price after a few years, Nintendo games are a staunch exception but y'know sometimes, they bring it down to 20.
There is no reason for them to charge 60 here. In comparison to every other Deluxe release, this is very weak because there is no new content. They did basically no work in porting this to Switch. And then they lock off an entire audience from getting the game.
I get that some Nintendo fans will always defend Nintendo, and I used to be one of those, but this isn't Iwata's Nintendo anymore, when they always shied away from crappy practices like this. This is the new Nintendo, where you have to pay for online but they don't put any work into the servers, where they allow Game Freak to become the new EA, and yes, they remove games from older systems to trap their players into paying higher prices.
'that'll be 60 dollars, please'
@@davidneligan8186 No, I just don't believe games should lose value cause they are a bit old. And it's mostly the store owners and publishers themselves that lower the price, not the developers.
@@zackrose6261 I think you missed the point of my comment, I didn't say they should cost less, I'm just comparing the content that was in the old version to the new version while considering the price, as you said Nintendo themselves set the prices not us lmao
Yamazake Whitesky, I understand about the other ports, but at least Pikmin 3 Deluxe add more content to the game. When it comes out we'll know if the 60 dollars is worth it or not.
I feel like if someone is determined enough to play it now they'll buy it used if they have to, then Nintendo gets nothing.
Pikmin
Soon used games wont be an option and watch what greedy businesses do the minute that happens
@@humanzerohumanzero4825 Can't really control the idiot masses demanding to own less of what they buy for minor convenience. That's still at least 2 generations off for Nintendo though.
Lehran Yep, the games as a service bs is just on the horizon. Worth fighting against as long as you can but it’s a losing battle in the end
@@humanzerohumanzero4825 Eh, Games as a service aren't bad though, as long as the only monetization they go for in MT wise is cosmetic, at least then you don't have to worry about advantages and can just sit back and let the ones who spend shit tons on cosmetics to give you free content.
“Just take the hit Nintendo”
Oh that wouldn’t have been a hit. It would be a gentle tap
Not even Mario would feel it.
That just proves his point more.
@@bennusmagnus5277 that's the point.
at most a gentle flick
Feather slap.
That's what it is. A feather slap. Maybe they'd sneeze a little.
"This video was sponsored by Nocyar"
Me: Oh that's cool finally some new sponsor other than Raid and Rayc-
"Which is backwards for Raycon"
Me: AHH DAMN IT
Hey, be appreciative. Creators have to make a living. Especially right now
@@legowagfles7287 oh no don't worry I am. It's not a knock on Arlo good for him to get sponsors.
More on the fact more and more Raycon sponsorships are popping up. Become the new Raid. But that's a me thing. More than willing to let Arlo collect his sponsorship
F***ing Nonner really the big difference is raid is incredibly overhyped and disappointing. But ray cons are actually really good.
@@goldkobold6496 they're not realyl, they do the job, but you can get better quality wireless earbuds for like half the price.
@@goldkobold6496 Raycons aren't actually that great. Many of the people plugging them haven't used earbuds in the same price bracket before so it's hard to tell.
They don't have faith in their own product, to me is just kind of admiting: Yes, we don't think this new version is worth the new price, so we have to eliminate the competition. That to me makes the fact that is 60 dollars even worse., there is nothing wrong with selling your upgraded product at a higher price and trusting your customers that they would choose the upgrade. But no, they know its not worth it so they have to make it the only option.
They sell it at 60 dollars because that's the price of every physical game, not really their fault
@@Mqstodon That is simply not true, snipper clips didn't come out at 60 dollars, neither did sonic forces. Either way I'm not saying they shouldn't sell it at 60 dollars, I'm just saying that their actions clearly imply that they don't believe that the price is fair or that the improvements are worth the extra money. They don't trust that their audience would see the value of the new release
It's not worth the new price. Nintendo is a fan of Apple and always charges more for the "brand" but it's not worth it. This is just artificial scarcity to increase price.
Pikmin
@jesus barrera I would argue that not even MK should have been 60$. Because every Nintendo console has had it's own MK game except the Switch and also for the reason you mentioned, the stuff they added should've been in the original game.
Also I thought Nintendo would include 1,2 Switch as a free pack in but they had the balls to even charge close to full price for that garbage demo.
Nintendo: "We hate piracy!"
Also Nintendo: Actively angers and inconveniences their customers into a situation where piracy is currently the best solution.
It's so dumb. especially since the Wii U is so easy to hack. All Nintendo is doing here is encouraging people to get the game via underhanded means if they want it on the Wii U. So very dumb of Nintendo to do that.
If they’re willing to stoop to that level, I think we may have seen the last of nintendo selects.
i think they might, i mean mario kart 8 deluxe could perfectly be a nintendo select by now, its been out since 2017 and it has sold more than 26 million copies (1 game by sales on switch)
The fact they've been selling their Wii U to Switch ports for FULL retail premium price since day one proves they stooped to "that level" for quite a while.
supersuato123 If Nintendo can get away with selling their games for full price they will do it. Heaven forbid their games go on sale more than twice a year or go below a 30% discount too lol. It’s about keeping the image of them as a “premium brand”.
Once sales slow down is when the discounts and Selects come out. Considering the Switch is the hottest thing out right now, they’re just gonna ride the wave as long as they can. I made this all sound very cynical but it’s just how things are sadly.
yeah, do you remember the new play control rereleases of GC games with some technical updates and new controls sold at a lower cost? That were the good times. Or when they rereleased 2 GC games and 1 Wii game on a Wii disc at a normal price with some extras? Nintendo has changed for the worse but maybe they are making more money now, so that's good for them I guess...
@@HOTD108_ as if this is cause for alarm, your fight was back in 2018 when dk tropical freeze was removed from the eshop.
“No one bought a Wii U” is the lamest excuse for screwing over consumers
@@exiletwin didn't you just watch a 16 minute video on that? Might want to check you don't have alzheimers pal.
Al-Chemist They can’t buy pikmin 3 on Wii U!
@@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour but you can still buy the game, buy the physical version. You can easily find some used copies that are very cheap, you're all just trying to find reasons to be mad lmao
@@Mqstodon The game being removed from the eShop means that people that buy the physical now can't buy the DLC anymore. If someone was "trying to find a reason to be mad", they wouldn't have to look hard.
@@Mqstodon just checked online and there are only a few options that are really cheap, and they're gonna be offset by whatever shipping costs you're hit with, so they might not end up so cheap. And as for finding it in stores locally? well that just won't be easy for some people, cuz not every store will have used copies of the game.
Also, it's the principle of the thing, like Arlo said, the fact that Nintendo's doing this for so little benefit, just makes it worse, cuz it's so pointless and hurts people and possibly even Nintendo itself, more than leaving the game on the eshop would've hurt Nintendo.
What a kick in the balls for the WiiU player base. I understand not wanting to have the same game priced differently on different digital shops, but you’d think they’d show a bit of good faith and reward those few loyal Nintendo fans who actually bought/have a WiiU, by giving them those low prices.
I bet this order is from the top. A lot of the puzzling moves done by Nintendo are direct orders from top brass. Japanese culture is to respect/do what your elders want, no questions asked.
Honestly, I feel like the new president may be transforming Nintendo into something a bit different then what we've all associated Nintendo being. For better or worse.
@@ridley_boi8272 it got put back for a lower price lol
@@bodogs187 Bruh lol
Pikmin 3 is back on the WiiU eshop for $20
I'm one of those weird people that didn't own a WiiU until 2019. Even with paying $75 for the console, I've saved a fair amount of money getting cheap WiiU versions of games instead of Switch versions (Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta, Pikmin, Wonderful 101, etc.). I'm one of the few people Nintendo is trying to target! Too bad for them I immensely prefer physical games to digital!
Physical probably saved you much more than digital in the long run anyway (Many games are still full price on the eShop, only Nintendo Selects are sold at a discount)
WiiU😦
Arent you LONELY?🙁
If Nintendo try's to prevent us from buying Wii U games again, we will just go counterfiet and hack our Wii U's and then We will be the ones making money off Wii U games lol
@@InnerRise I still play it lol
I hate to say it but digital is the future and physical copies will slowly die. In a business standpoint it is perfect for them because it's cutting out the middleman so they can probably tax us relentlessly
5:47 I am that person, one with a Wii U and no Switch or Pikmin 3.
I’m furious.
Edit: you can’t buy Bayonetta 2 either, which I can only assume is due to it being literally identical to the Switch version.
Woah... You're the guy they turned their back on. Sorry guy. 😢

It’s back now. Pikmin 3 is back on the Wii U e shop
Most seem to actually praise it if you look at the PS5 coverage.
Just look at Gamefreak.
paco ramon I’m mean all they really did was remove the Pokémon and sold a controversial game, I don’t really remember them doing anything else other than that.
And now.... It’s back!
13:23 - Oh wait no, you can still redownload it, you just can't buy it.
The only scenario where you'll lose the ability to redownload it is if they close the Wii U's eshop altogether.
Oh thank goodness. I have a copy that's not saved on my Wii U right now. Man I wish it had more space built in and didn't rely on USB drives.
I can confirm this is the case with every eShop out there. Even when something is off the eShop publicly, it will permanently be stored in your account for you to download at any time. I've done this with a few titles.
Unfortunately, the Wii Shop is a different story, since it's permanently gone... ;-;
Edit: I guess a better comparison would be that Pikmin 3 and DKC Tropical Freeze aren't deleted, just "hidden," meaning the only people that can access them are the ones that already purchased them.
thanks, I was worried about that. imagine buying a single player game and you can't access it anymore.5 years later
That even works with stuff like the app store, I can re-download games that most people considered lost years ago at any time
@@CodenameHockhead you can still download wii titles that you own
As a Nintendo fan. I'm slowly becoming less of a Nintendo fan.
Their involvement with Tencent is concerning. The joycons not being addressed is alarming. The removal of the eShop games is annoying.
These are not emotions you want associated with your brand.
They can't do anything about it though. Being a perfect company is impossible, and some people will still find flaws with your brand anyway
There’s nothing wrong with associating with tencent and they did address the joycons last year
Don't, my guy, Nintendo is, in the end, a business and they are bound to do something "anti-consumer" at some point, and there is nothing concerning about their Tencent partnership, they are just trying to get the console to the Chinese market, nothing else.
I think they just want people to forget about the wii u
Archway 9 they addressed the joycons? I haven’t bought new joycons in over a year cos it’s not worth it but if they’ve fixed drift then I’ll look into it!
Yeah, this was a pretty petty move.
I wonder if these sorts of things also happened under Mr. Iwata.
I don't think so, but I can't confirm.
Pikmin
A T Pikmin
Mr. Iwata was the reason Nintendo didn't explore the mobile market until much much much later. And I think it was Pokémon Go!'s absurd success the one that showed Nintendo that perhaps, just perhaps, this one man that they owed him so much and cherished his legacy, was wrong at something.
Honestly, I was on the fence about re-buying Pikmin 3 and this actually WAS the straw that broke the camel's back for me! I love the game (enough to Platinum every Mission in Solo and Co-op!), but I had trouble justifying paying full price for a game that ran great on a system I still owned.
So now I'm replaying Pikmin 3 on the Wii U, and I won't feel the need to purchase it on Switch in a couple months. The only problem is that my son doesn't like when a stray Pikmin gets eaten, so I'm attempting a "no loss" run, which has already been quite difficult...
Oh good to see you here!
Nobody likes to see the adorable little guys get eaten
And I had pikmin 3 on my Wii U but I was like 8 when I got it and I never finished playing it so I have a feeling I would actually take the time to complete on my switch
@@brock8061

The whole “they’ll buy it anyway” idea was what caused the ps3 to fail initially
And probably the Wii U
"To be continued"? Oh yeah, give me that sweet Arlore.
Nice
Well this video aged well...
I can't wait until someone sues Raycon for the lie about them being about half the cost of other premium earbuds. They are not, you can buy much better earbuds for the same or less cost
And ones that aren't drowning out all of the sound with bass too
Yeah i watched dankpods video on them and was shocked.
You have a really good point here on the point of straws breaking the camel's back
it's true, things will rarely, if ever, truly be the last straw that breaks the back fully. People can and will put up with a lot of nonsense and anti-consumer practices when trying to get entertainment.
But at the end of the day? This is either the last straw overall, the last straw for someone who would've been happy, or just another straw that adds to the pile. These are things that quite literally pile up, and the more you allow it to happen for petty reasons, the more you're willing to let that final back breaking moment get closer and closer.
At this point I don't even consider myself a "Nintendo Fan" anymore, I'm a Mario fan, a Zelda fan, a Pokemon fan. And more and more I feel like my favorite IPs are being held hostage by a company that wants to nickel and dime me at every possible opportunity.
Pikmin 3 and DK were removed from the wii U eshop so that people can't go there and see that Nintendo is charging full price on the switch today for a game they themselves sold for way less just a few years back.
@@sapouso Same
People will put up with more than anti-consumer practice if exposed and normalised to it. It can be as simple as having to pay a subscription for a service you used to get for free but it goes as far as people putting up with their government bombing other countries. It is called 'Hypernormalisation' and Adam Curtis made an excellent documentary about it. Search TH-cam for 'Adam Curtis Hypernormalisation' and see what you think about it. :D
@@sapouso There's no conceivable way anyone could realistically feel Nintendo is trying to nickel and dime them at "every possible opportunity". Nintendo has, on countless occasions, turned down possible profit to do pro consumer things. Even some of their mobile partners refused to work with them again because they wouldn't do even more EA styled scummy extra monetization. There's a massive difference between this, a dew bad monetization elements here and there or dumb choices being made like this with Pikmin, versus literally taking every possible opportunity to money grub. Nintendo is probably the most pro consumer of the big AAA developers.
“So Nintendo, why did you take down your twenty dollar title for the switch version?”
“Money”
You do realize that the base game plus DLC was still $40 total? So you're only paying $20 for switch portability and bonus content

@nerdtronis141 yeah, normal for companies like EA or Bethesda
It's not scummy cuz if you already wanted Pikmin 3 you already would have had it. Remember the game was out all year on the eShop. if you didn't have it then you weren't interested in the game
Lol y'all acting like nintendos the only company that does this. Steam frequently removes old titles if a licence runs out/ new definitive editions drop. You need to step out of the Nintendo bubble.
I gave up on Nintendo after the realisation that the last 3 consoles I've bought from them have just gathered dust, the realisation that they're going to charge me again and again for my favourite classics and the realisation that they're not interested in revisiting any of them for future releases. We've grown apart, all I have left now are the memories.

I would like to also note I gave your comment a thumbs up and I agree that Pikmin is fun no matter what, and I do see what you meant by it regarding that, but also that it's possible for Nintendo to be a pain when it comes to buying games for their consoles. :/

Yesterday, I realized that when I'm looking for new games, I can hardly look for fun games anymore, but for games whose companies are the least fooling to me :( I can hardly buy a game without a feeling to be screwed over in one way or another.
AND this video just became dated!
I am a wii u owner who was playing through pikmin 3 when this announcement came out. I was planning on buying the dlc when I beat the game, but I can't now. Thanks Nintendo.
Hack your wii u and pirate it.

@Ian 2.0 You aren’t missing out on much.
Top kek. Looks like you have a reason to buy the new one ;)
Nintendo: New version comes with dlc lol
My thought is this: most people that have a Wii U, that are interested in the series, probably already own Pikmin 3, and most people who own a Switch that didn't own a Wii U aren't going to spend $200-$300 to buy an old console off the internet in order to get a $20 standard version of a game. They are going to spend the $60 on the Deluxe Switch version because it's more economical. Nintendo removing Pikmin 3 really makes no sense. Do they think there is someone out there that has never owned a Wii U or Switch just all of a sudden really wanted to play Pikmin 3 and they were able to find a cheap Wii U for $200 just to play one game for $20? Is that really a big concern over at Nintendo?
they'd make more money from people doing that than from the deluxe version so i don't understand??
@@Its_Enri You miss understood their point
@@ghost245353 no I understood, I was agreeing with the commenter
I mean, I was seriously considering picking up some Wii U and Virtual Console games that I missed out on when the console was fresh a few months ago. That was until I discovered the wonder of Homebrew, however.
There's also the fact that the Wii U E-shop version is the basic, non-improved, with much less content that the new one. Does it really justify to remove the old one ? It's like Atlus would remove any Persona game after the release the improved versions afterward.
3 days after this video, Nintendo puts it back up. Arlo, whats your secret?
Aaaand it's back! Gamexplain showed it's available again for $20 as of Sept. 4 2020
"This video is sponsored by Nocyar!"
Me: finally it's not raycon, let's see this new company
"which is backwards for raycon"
I was just thinking, “Arlo hasn’t posted in a while” and then this came out. Thank you, Arlo.

Like, c'mon, get with the news... which have been pretty anemic when it comes to Nintendo stuff.
So Pikmin 3 is back on the Wii U eshop. I guess everyone who was upset about this can go buy it now.

“They’ll buy it anyway.” The market leading version of Nintendo is is indeed most heinous. They can be just as vile as any other company. They do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
they make infinite budget cute lookin games every few years and people take it as "this corporate entity is my friend"
@@perkypears
The only good thing about Nintendo in the recent years is that they take some years just to make one game, and it ends up being amazing, but damn things like joycons poor quality or this overall really makes you doubt on nintendo quality
@@alemtotodile8128 Even then, not alot of thier games these days are quality.
Of course they are, like almost the whole tech world they are involved in this: www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/nintendo_named_and_shamed_as_benefiting_from_the_use_of_chinese_forced_labour_camps
@Steve Johnson Funny thing is, every tech company or companies like xbox and sony get all their tech for their devices from china as well, so that's not really a good point. Most electronics in general come from china.
Thank you so much for actually making Nintendo put Pikmin back on the eshop so I can get it for 20 dollars on my wii u!
They could even just have increased the price. Would still be a dick move but at least you would be able to play it without buying a new system.
After the announcement of deluxe, I replayed Pikmin three, (It’s been years since I last played it) I played through the story then the missions. I loved those missions and I was going to buy the extra DLC missions... but I couldn’t because Nintendo took down the game. That means the only way to get the DLC is to buy it on switch for $60. That really sucks. That was a bad move on Nintendo.
Pikmin
Why didnt you get them sooner? Why did you have to wait for the game to be relevant again to decide to get them?
@@citrusblast4372 Because a lot of people don't think about playing a game until it's relevant again. Like how Animal Crossing New Leaf was bought by several people around the release of New Horizons. We're a social species, and we sometimes hold things off until people talk about those things.
@@hollosou335 why do you speak on behalf of op? He had like 5 years to get ahold of the dlc (which costed like 3 or 5 bucks for each pack).
As of the time of my comment here, Pikmin 3 and it's DLC are still on Nintendo's servers. I'm downloading them to my PC as I type this, directly from their servers using USB Helper.
I feel like that “Nintendo Charm” that it’s always had is starting to fade in the recent years.
Nah it just started to glow
@@SA-sp3sh Screwing people over is glowing? That's news to me
@@SA-sp3sh deleting games from buying it cheaper
Nintendo is starting to make games for money instead for passion. That charm faded years ago and it isn’t going to glow anymore soon.
EDIT: I know money making and priority is normal. But the amount of anticonsumer moves and not listening to the fans (paper mario) for brand recognition is why Nintendo to me is not the same anymore. They still make great games but that charm is defenitly gone and does not back for decades.
EDIT2: thank you for making those well writen arguments. You all have many points I agree to.
@@Th1boi With the way things are going it wouldn't surprise me
They must have listened to you Arlo. It's back!
Anyone here after Nintendo decided to put Pikmin 3 back on the WiiU Eshop?
Raycon sponsorship? Arlo you don't even have ears.
so he's the only person who can't tell how bad they are.
@@Roboshi2007 Unfortunately true. Guys, if you want something good, get something like the Soundliberty 79s. Way better build quality, sound quality, and battery life for half the price. Or do your own research! Raycon is all marketing and high quality packaging.
He must have ears. His first video had him reviewing headphones
@Sonic Mobian he never mentioned anything about the sponsored TH-camrs being bad people though.
He's just pointing out that there are better products out there for a lower price, which is true
@Sonic Mobian I love Arlo. He's one of my favorites, and I understand the need to make money on your videos. I imagine one cannot choose to be too picky about who sponsors your videos on TH-cam nowadays; between Raid, Raycon, and misleading VPN ads (coming as a user of a VPN), it would be really hard to take any kind of moral high ground as a content creator with the ads you put on your videos.
Arlo, just want to assure you that you can still redownload the game if you’ve already bought it. Just a heads up.
Arlo: "It's over Nintendo! I have the high-horse!"
Nintendo: "You underestimate my anti-consumer practice Power!"
Arlo: "Don't try it! It might break your camel's back!"
...
Nintendo: "Ow!"
Amazing comment lol
Pikmin
As long as you have downloaded it and your account is on your switch you can still go re download it from your purchases. I did this with dk tropical freeze after it was taken off the eshop.
That's a relief lol. I deleted it to save space ages ago and worried it was gone forever.
Nintendo when they took down Pikmin 3:
I am sorry 'Pikmin 3' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Pikmin 3' down. I cannot take this anymore.
Why are you everywhere?

@TheKiss gninioJ reveN m’I
Yeah, i actually got a wiiu like in 2019. Though I dont like digital games, regardless, like the many other things nintendos done for the last 30 years, its really stupid. Especially like you mention, that market is probably so small at this point, it really is petty.
It’s back now. Pikmin 3 is back on the Wii U e shop for 20$
13:23 Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that you can still re-download it if you already bought it. I'm sure not checking though.
And... I already own the digital version, but I am still pretty upset about this. Like, didn't they say that their goal was to make Wii U owners feel as if their purchase was worth it? It doesn't even really matter to me that hardly anyone will be affected by this. Wii U owners will be affected, and it will ultimately hurt the console's value in the long run.
(Value as in it being "worth it", and not resell-ability BTW)
I know you can on the 3ds, IDK about wii u for sure but I'm pretty sure you can
I checked with USB Helper, which connects directly to Nintendo's e-shop servers. The game, all updates, and DLC are all there still. If you already bought the game, you will still have access to the game. I literally downloaded it to my PC only a couple hours ago.
dont delete pikmin 3 off your wii u you can’t redownload it
The only reason why Nintendo is keeping the Wii U eshop alive is because of the 3ds
Why would they keep up for the 3ds?
Are they the same server?
That is not logic
@@nickfishing Thanks! I was legitimately looking for an answer. How would that work then? You just buy it using the Wii U online store and your 3ds connects to it?
Kill the WiiU altogether and its shop
They've been eroding my goodwill for several years now
As a red mage, you are a jack of all trades. You should go for one of Nintendo's older consoles instead. I do.
I understand why it's so weird, and it's not anything you said in the video. It's weird because they're admitting the Switch has limited value because of all of its ports. When a company engages in a practice that forces a consumer to keep something, e.g. the inability to resell digital games, the company is essentially admitting that the product has no value. In this case, they're forcing people to be unable to buy a product on a previous, now cheaper system in order to maximize profit and, well.. just simply force consumers to buy the new system that they wouldn't ordinarily buy otherwise because of limited value, and remove the option to get a better value.
They're not? Like guys, it's not that deep. They just want more people to buy the game at a higher price and maybe buy a switch too if they don't have it
@@Mqstodon dude I love Nintendo, but that's a sketchy call. We don't want people to be able to get this game we already released at its current cost, we need them to spend an additional $340 to play it. Ports of games that are almost 10 years old should not be $60 to begin with.
@@Mqstodon I doubt that anyone will buy a Wii U to save 40 on a vanilla copy of Pikmin and then have to buy the DLC separately. That said, I mean, the number of people who own a Wii U, and don't own Pikmin with intent to buy it, as opposed to having moved to the switch are pretty small indeed.
@@mustaphaprice2898 Download and install USB Helper. It's a bit of a chore to get up and running, but then you will have access to the entire Nintendo E-Shop, and after you find the keys, they will all be decrypted. Install CFW on a Wii U, and a 2TB hard drive, and you can have the entire e-shop on your Wii U.
According to several online headlines pikmin 3 is back on the wiiu eshop!
I feel like the Wii U's player base has to be so small at this point that there's no possible way they gain money forcing them to buy it on switch. They're not weighing this like "Oh, this many more customers buying the game for $60 instead of $20 is worth the PR hit", They're looking at it like "This new release being available for less on our old storefront devalues our brand, and for that reason it has to go".
It doesn't matter if a million people would've picked up Pikmin 3 for $20 or if it was only one, the option merely existing on their storefront is problematic enough for them to get rid of it, in the same way that people offering free fan games is problematic to Nintendo regardless of how little effect those fan games might have on their own game sales
That's a really bad comparison though. Fan games and rom hacks are technically illegal, so nintendo has every right to shut them down. Creators of fangames aren't victims because they know it's gonna happen and still do it anyway, even though it's illegal.
@@Mqstodon Actually, fangames are only illegal if they a) make money off of an IP they don't own, or b) steal code or content from the original game and are distributed with said code or content.
ROM hacks are, for that very reason, often distributed as a file that has to be applied as an update to an existing ROM file of the game. The hack is distributed without any code of the game it is a hack for, the person willing to use the hack has to obtain the ROM and then apply the update by themselves. Which can be done legally, you're totally allowed to copy and edit files however you want. ROM hacks are like mods, and I don't see anyone getting sued over modding Skyrim.
@@Mqstodon Wow, you sound like a corporate bootlicker.
I mean, Luuk's point still stands and you're wrong, but even if you WERE right, Nintendo has every *legal* right to remove a game from the eshop for any reason whatsoever as well. You're arguing legality and claiming those two ideas can't be compared? 🙄
Lastly, this isn't an argument of legality, it's an argument of morality. Taking down a free fan game and removing a cheaper digital version of a game just to make sure you're squeezing out a an extra buck is scummy as fuck
@@davidlane1248 imagine you're in Nintendo's shoes here. Wouldn't you want as much money as possible? Calling a company scummy for wanting money is so stupid, why wouldn't a company want as much money as they can get.
@@mreevee7785 at the expense of the good will of the people who already willingly give me money for the products I create? *No*
Only the most delusional fans of a company will defend said company for bullshit like this. You can make lots of money while still retaining a good relationship with your customer base. It's business 101. Mindless greed may get you more money in the short term, but it's not productive towards long term success
I don’t own a switch yet, as I’m growing up and have much more important things to save for, like a car, college, and to eventually move out. I am actually one of the few people affected by this. I buy a lot of older games because I can’t afford to buy brand new $60 games all the time. I only got a wii u last year, so I don’t own every game I wanna get, so making a game harder to buy just sucks.
Do you have a Wii U? If you install custom firmware (not that hard) and install USB Helper to your PC (a little more challenging to get started and finding everything you need is a bit of a scavenger hunt), you can get Pikmin 3 and all it's DLC onto your Wii U directly from the Nintendo e-shop. You could also emulate it if you have the hardware, I've played Pikmin 3 at 4k (might have been 1440p, it depends on who made the texture pack) and it runs really well on CEMU, though the gamepad can be a bit of a pain, as it's a separate window you have to bring to the front, it still works really well.
Superballs' Supervids I think I’d rather buy the game physically, or wait till I eventually get a switch. I have a personal rule where I only emulate consoles that are old enough where I can’t find them at my local game stores(gamecube and older). I do use custom firmware on my wii u for making an n64 emulator run better, but everything else on my console is pretty vanilla.
And it's back!
13:21 If you had purchased the game previously, you can redownload the game, even if it was delisted (thankfully). I have Tropical Freeze on an external drive on my Wii U, the data got corrupted, and I had to redownload the game - you can do so from your purchased menu.
I love Nintendo and their games, but the past couple of years, Nintendo has become increasingly business oriented in a gross way. Dragging their feet with the joy-con drift, this stuff with pikmen, it just seems a bit out of character for them. Everything is starting feel like they're trying to get as much a profit as they can with minimal work from them. Which then makes some of their other decisions are more baffling. "Mario Kart 8 deluxe is our most selling game on switch? Don't make dlc and work on a mediocre phone game with microtransactions, its already selling so well to begin with." It makes being a fan of the company a little frustrating to say the least.
11:26 It reminds me of how Nintendo treated the original 3DS owners when they dropped the price and that they gave us 10 GBA games to download. We got something for being a dedicated fan.
The decision to remove the game from the eshop won't have a significant effect on sales, but rather a greater effect on how folks may view Nintendo. Just baffling honestly.
The damage was already done when they decided "Hey, instead of selling Wii U games on the Switch's eShop at a discounted price, just like how we sold Wii games on the Wii U, let's just port everything with the same $60 price tag and also bait the Wii U owners with bonus content so they'll have to buy the exact same game twice. It's genius!" And the worst part is, now that Nintendo KNOWS people will fall for it, I'm convinced their next consoles will pull the exact same stunt. Backwards-compatibility is dead.
Leaf Razor Storm there is a reason they could release wii games on the wii u eshop easily, the wii u was hardware compatible with running wii games so no porting was necessary. With wii U or wii games on the switch which IS NOT hardware compatible with the wii u or wii they have to either port the games (do a lot of rewriting code) or emulate them (which the switch isn’t powerful enough to do)
@@theofficialgman Because of people like you Nintendo gets away with this shit.
They literally ported the game nothing more this does not justify the 60$ price tag.
Crash Bandicoot and Spyro literally got remakes with updated graphics bundled with 3 games for what 30$?
Leaf Razor Storm you don’t have to buy the same game twice you know that right? If you disagree with them I do believe you should be vocal about it, but in my personal opinion I think that most switch owners never had a Wii U, and that had many amazing games, the games are worth 60$ to me. If you disagree that’s fine though.
Enes Aslan They do add more content, and the games are great. You don’t have to buy anything they sell and personally I don’t really have a problem. It doesn’t take too many development resources and it gives people a chance to play the game again
If they did nothing, no one would even care. It’s really just the fact that it feels like they stuck their foot way out just to get a little extra money
Dude i am so happy you're getting these sponsorships, you totally deserve it Arlo ❤
I think the reason for droping Pikmin 3 from Wii U is more about casuals not knowing that the game is for sale for a third of the price somewhere else, and getting "offended" by that, than forcing people who have Wii U's to pay 60$ for the game.
Yeah, but Switch owners who want Pikmin 3 but never had a Wii U aren't going to fork out a few hundred for one to buy a twenty dollar game when they can just buy it for sixty dollars on the system they already have.
@@jruler93 Used Wii Us are actually pretty cheap nowadays.
@@jruler93 I wasn't very clear. I didn't sugest that casuals would buy a used Wii U, but they could get annoyed that the game costs a third of the price on another plataform and don't buy it for full price. A lot of people (Arlo included) complained about Tropical Freeze costing 60$ om Switch even though it was an old game.
How can’t you expect this from Nintendo?
hii
Probably because we remember nintendo being better than this and never would've expected them to stoop down to EA levels of greed.
@@megasoniczxx This isn't even close to how bad EA is. If you actually look a Nintendo's history you can see that the are a whole lot less scummy then before (Region locking, bullying other game devs, etc,.). What they are doing now is still a bit shady but nowhere near as bad as it used to be.
lmao he edited the comment, it used to say “hey person browsing the comments.” Bitch move bro
arcanehornet damn I just edited it- chile anyways
.......wait, our complaining actually did something, Pikmin 3 is back on the eShop... shame about DKCTF and Tokyo mirage sessions though
Now we can talk about pikmin 3 returning to the eshop
I love Nintendo, so it kind of hurts when they do something scummy. My reaction to the whole thing is "but why?".
I already have the game on my Wii U but I don't want to delete the game just to see if I can still redownload it.
IMO Nintendo is being stupid here. With how few people own a Wii U I don't see them gaining anything at all by removing it from the shop. This comes across as them being A-holes just for the sake of being A-holes.
A holes?

Speaking from experience with Tropical Freeze, you can redownload it in your purchased games list. Granted, it sucked to figure this out the hard way when my game file was corrupted, but it's good to know they aren't COMPLETE a-holes (still quite an a-hole tho).
Nintendo’s starting to become one of those “I like what you make, but frick you” companies.

Benjamin Brown wow you really hate Bethesda
Benjamin Brown yes but all the things you listed Nintendo doesn’t do. I think what they did here was scummy but correct me if I’m wrong isn’t this kinda similar to Microsoft discontinuing the one X so people don’t buy the cheaper counsel that has the same games?
always has been
theyve done some scummy things for a long time, some examples in recent memory are deleting channels of people that posted video game music and relentlessly hunting down people making fan games
Raycon is the new Raid: Shadow Legends.
except it actually has worth, unlike Raid
At least Raycon isn't run by one of the biggest gambling machine manufacturers in the world.
Did they remove Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, Tropical Freeze or any other Deluxe title?
Only Tropical Freeze.
Alto posits that it’s probably because both games are “Nintendo Selects”
You can redownload Tropical Freeze. I have it and did it. So I imagine Pikmin 3 is the same
Yea but that’s if you already bought it. They already got your money.
@@alvexas5510 but Arlo thought you can't even re-download it, so he's correcting Arlo
me, being a wii u owner honestly feels like this generation has mostly been about re-releasing old content thats just been spit shined and fully priced again. i could of saved so much money if i never bought a wii u. and i would have waited if i knew they were going to pretend the wii u never existed. so while i like the switch for the new stuff it does has. but at least half the first party games i've already played on the previous console. so seeing things like this just feels bad man.
Or you could just not buy the switch versions to save money.
@@TrueGinjaNinjaGamer your missing the point. Imagine if nintendo made a new console, And they end up porting all the first party switch games to the new console with new content for full price. Instead of just making sequels or new games entirely. They just add another subtitle to the original game.
Just Imagine "New Super Mario Bros Wii U Deluxe EX" being a launch title. There are only like 4 or 5 first party titles left on the wii u that haven't been ported yet, and just wait, they will.
@@HezakHQ oh no. I agree with the premise, just not the execution. I think it is absolutely crappy that they are selling old games as new on switch, but I also don't buy them because I had them on WiiU and they are barely adding any new content.
The Arlo Raycon Plug plot is shaping up very nicely, can't wait for what happens next
They actually put it back up on the Wii U eShop!
Another completely nonsensical business decision by Nintendo that does nothing but anger and upset their own fanbase. They always have and hopefully always will be my favourite games company but they constantly chip on that perception with each terrible move.
Reminds me of their attitude to paper Mario... Taking it in a direction that the vast majority of their fans do not like, but screw the fans, Tanabe wants to make it an adventure game so go away fans and pretend paper Mario 64 and TTYD didn't ever exist........
The thing is, people loved the changes they made to loz in breath of the wild (not me personally, but screw me i guess) paper mario isnt a big franchise as of now, so they are trying new things to get the people's attention. They do listen to the fans and sometimes it works out (f.e. casual mode in fire emblem) and sometimes it doesnt work out (unlimited time in pikmin 2). Removing older versions of stuff has been done for forever, just look at the star wars movies which has been altered for years. I dont mind it too much because people can still buy the physical copies and with the second hand market i dont think anyone SHOULD buy their wii u games digitally, cause you can buy them for like 10 bucks instead of 40-60.
This will definitely save enough money to be worth it, it’s a very good business decision really
Can you stop? You paper mario fans are literally so annoying and toxic. The games sell well, and people like them, the end. A game can't be made for everyone, just don't play it. It's not hard, you're all still complaining about a videogame not being exactly how you want it to be and it's honestly pathetic
Pikmin
How do new, non-rpg games force people to pretend the old games don't exist? They do exist, they are still great, and playable, and they aren't going anywhere, that doesn't mean that new games in the series have to cater to the same fans.
