Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Lets discuss Nintendo Selects sales impact in the US

Nintendo Selects titles have been out for a week in the US, we now have FW sales and they are pretty good. OOT, Pikmin 3, Dk TF and Mario 3d World all charted after none appeared the previous week, in fact retail copies of OOT and Pikmin were basically impossible to even find at all. 

The question now is how long will these sales bumps last for and which titles will benefit the most? I think OOT is the obvious choice, its been very tough to find for awhile now with used copies around $40 so alot of people who were looking for it should jump on it now at half the price. DK and 3d World should also get good boosts plus legs with the $40 price cut. Pikmin 3 probably won't chart long but it's great for fans who didn't want to pay a rediculous amount for it.

Thoughts?



Around the Network

I hope these games comes to Europe.
And I hope that I will be able to buy it digitaly.



I think that OOT3D and Mario 3D World will probably remain in the charts for a few more weeks. I do not expect DK and Pikmin (particularly Pikmin actually) to remain there for too much longer since both are less popular than Mario and Zelda. With that being said it was quite nice of Nintendo to do this and I think it might help gamers get exposure to titles from franchises they previously did not try out due to the cost.

These games have been branded as Nintendo Selects and given the bargain pricing in the NA eShop, so if they come to Europe, then you most likely will be able to. :)



I love these mini release the boost my collection in a very nice way.

On topic.

It is about Time Nintendo starts doing this.

2 years old games should be reduced and give a chance to be played by anyone doesn't want to pay crazy prices plus - it is better to sell a copy cheaper then make nothing out an inflated copy of ebay or pre-owned.



Switch!!!
