That’s just people raising the price at that point

It's Nintendos weird whatever voodoo shit they do

And switch games are unnecessarily £50+ now

it is undeniably odd that breath of the wild and mario odyessy are still that high honestly

They just keep the price so damn high for so long

i could get like 40 or so

but it's still a bit too much imo

Yeah I'll stick to my steam sales

Cex

I don't tend to buy games in release anyway

Unless it's something that I reallllly want

Like KH3 was, Doom probably will be

Nintendo knows ppl will buy its shit cos it’s the only company making it

Resellers know Nintendo fans will buy the shit too

So they never decrease either

Maybe if fans weren't always in "just consume product" mode all the time it wouldn't be this way

But whenever someone decides to spend £37 buying a ten year old DS game the prices will only get higher

I'd like to say you're being a bit too harsh, but you're really not lol

It's the unfortunate truth

People will complain but no one wants to do anything

it's not really a nintendo company thing solely. it's a symbiotic relationship with the hardcore fans as well

Ofc if I want a DS game I mostly download it

Definitely

The more fans will spend silly prices on mediocre-to-good products the more Nintendos approach is justified

i am fortunate that none of the games I really love or have an attachment to are on nintendo consoles. Would be a lot more money

Oof yeah

Like now pokemon is double the price it was for last gen

Switch games really don't need to be as expensive as ps4/xbox titles if they aren't as good

Good may not be the right word here, but I mean to say on the same level as

well, them being not as good is solely subjective but yeah

Oof I mean like

i don't enjoy most nintendo games as the general crowd does, so to me the prices aren't worth it. It doesn't really coerce me to get them

Like, you couldn't run kh3 on switch

it's cause cartages cost more to print on

but for fans, it can be very persuasive despite the price

is it really that much more

Especially because most of what Nintendo offers has been turned into such flagships
