They rarely decide to sell for what a game is actually worth. $60/70 across the board, every time.

Yeah, it's absurd. This game and TTYD remake should be the same price as Metroid Prime Remaster.

I would be surprised if it was cheaper than that. It's Nintendo.

But I wouldn't get it if it was $20 because it was not good.

Dude, the few walmarts that still say 3DS games and DS games still have them for like 35.99 Nintendo shit never goes down no matter how fucking old it gets, did anyone really think they wouldn't charge full price for these games? They're probably still mad they sold Mario Sunshine, Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy 1 in that bundle for just 1 full price title instead of splitting off seperately

If the switch were failing as bad as wii u or even late stage wii, this would have been bundled with the first game and charged $40, or no more than $50 but for two games, rather than $60 for one game.

I missed out on this game the first time so I do want to play it because I'm such a luigi/luigi's mansion fan, but I also heard it wasn't as good as 1 or 3, so this feels a bit of a rip-off.

Here's a thing that's bad and is bad across the industry and we should be discussing the larger problems that make game companies do this and clearly it works because people are still spending their money...

So let's instead make it about attacking a fandom that is exactly as bad as any other fandom in gaming.

Honestly, just hold off on it. Maybe next Mar10 or the year after it will be 33% off. I'm sure you've got other games you can or want to play until then. I've held off on purchasing many games I've wanted for price drops, such as Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope Gold Edition, which I finally bought in January for like $41 (which went on sale again for Mar10 for $36).

"Yeah?"

Your pre-order DLC special battle pass + enhanced repacked cosmetics as paid DLC day 3 incomplete un-patched edition of annualized online shooter or sports game is ready... for $180 and you have the opportunity to buy into more passes that may or may not be valid when we pull the plug on this game as a service in three months. Also the commemorative plastic statue shipped with a cracked helmet.

"Hot damn! Sign me up...hehehe Nintendrones are so dumb $60 for a port lolz. that's the only real abusive anti-consumer practice!"

Amazing how they priced MP at 30 bucks which is one of the best rated games of all time, yet they price Zelda and LM2 ports at 60. Of course it all comes down to popularity and trying to create a bigger fanbase for MP4. Still ridiculous.

That's what worries me, I hope I'll still like it and that having console controls will help. They had a sale a couple months back for kirby forgotten land so I'll wait until they do the same thing for lm 2.

They charge what the think will maximize their revenue and preserve brand value.

They don't sit around thinking 'what would be the ethically correct price?'.

No one does that.

To be fair out of all the ports this one makes sense price wise since it's from a different console and more work has to be put into it. Paper Mario can be $40 though since it's from the GC era like Metroid Prime and that one is $40

I made a topic awhile back that what if Nintendo remade OoT but made it in parts instead such as getting 3 games first before we reach adult Link. With new useless characters added with Harry Potter demontors blocking/guiding where you can go and yellow markings as to what you can grab and climb and a mini game knock of of falls guys where Link and Saria turn into frogs

Kirby and Bayonetta had one of those "$15 off" Sales on Switch store a year and a half after release so hopefully the same thing will happen here

It is worse with Nintendo, by far. But they have no incentive to adjust. If this happened with Steam, we'd see pitchforks as Gaben's doorstep.

it was $40. If Prime sold as much as the Mario series, they should have advertised it for $60 too sadly.

Yeah that's when I bought Bayonetta Origins, Nintendo had one of their "sales" where it was $42 instead of the usual $60 so I got it then. I'll do the same with lm 2, definitely not in a hurry to buy or play it until it goes on sale, or as much a sale as Nintendo is willing to go.

Wish they had released 2 before 3 because I'm worried the QoL improvements in 3 will make me not want to go back to 2. Oh well.

I've owned my Switch for about 3 years now, I think I own 12 games. I've owned my Xbox Series X for maybe a year more and own like 400 games minus the 360 library. Quit price gouging Nintendo, i'd buy so, so many more games if they weren't full price for eternity.

That's the thing, if you look at their history they seem to only ever try when they're struggling in the market. RE 4 on gamecube, Bayonetta 2 on Wii u then later bundled with Bayo 1, they only ever bother when they're out of options. It makes you not want to support them because if you do, they just get more greedy rather than supportive.
