GameCube games have been climbing in price, and although they've leveled out recently, they won't get significantly cheaper in our lifetime. Right now the originals will run you around $130 total CIB, so for anyone who doesn't have the games already, it's a no-brainer.

I hope releases like this are successful enough to encourage Nintendo to do more of them outside just their core brands.

And anyway, it's nice to have the entire series in one place. I have Final Fantasy 1-12 (sans 11) on Switch for the same reason.

Yeah, I just went on eBay and you can get them for $50-60 each. There was one Japanese disk-only pikman 2 for $20. So $50 for both and you don't need to mess with ripping the disk and working an emulstor might be worth it for some. However if you have them just sitting in your closet, it seems emulation is the better case here, especially if you have a handheld PC like a steam deck
