Left is a skull and bones Logo, with a guy in a Mario hat saying: "Let's-A Go, Mario, Why is [Skull and bones Logo] so expensive?" Right, under Mario Kart World Logo, he has a book labled Econ 101 and says "The cost of games is a complex interplay between inflation and other factors, such as saleries, of which Nintendo has little control".](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2bb21019-fefb-497b-9ae3-8ce41cc5e8b3.png?format=webp)

You're viewing a single thread.
also, at least ubisoft shit goes on sale, and the used copies are less expensive…
for nintendo, once in a blue moon the game will have a 10$ discount and that’s it
I really miss the Nintendo Selects, but I’m pretty sure those died with the digital push.
I bought Immortals: Fenyx Rising for about 8 bucks the other day while it was on sale. Honestly great value, I've already put in 30 hours and I'm not even halfway finished with it
I bough Farcry 5 for around $10 CAD a few years back and that's about how much value I got put of it.
Because Ubisoft only sells shit. Nobody's paying $60 when they'll just make the same game and slap the next year on it in 10 months from now.
At least Nintendo games are quality made. (Pokémon doesn't count - that's made by Game freak)
i said ubisoft but quality stuff by sony or microsoft (or any big studio) goes on sale too like a year after its released
for nintendo, a 7 year old rerelease of an 11 year old game is full price! even at retail! and the used copies aren’t much cheaper!
the only mario games on switch that go on sale are the mario + rabbids games, which are pretty good (definitely better than some 1st party nintendo stuff). the reason they go on sale, well, they’re published by ubisoft!
nintendo doesn’t allow their games to go on sale. the only times it happens is either they felt like giving you a 5% discount, or the game is so shit it ends up in clearance bins
This isn't entirely true. I got Zelda TOTK for $40 on release. Kind of.
I bought Costco Nintendo gift cards which saves you $20 (if I remember right) and then bought the combo pack deal which included TOTK. It came out to getting every game for $40 each. Of course, the physical copy is a whole different story.
