It's been almost 3 years since Wind Waker HD launched, and it's still almost full price in the US. I've seen this game above price, even.
GameStop - $59.99 PREOWNED
Walmart - $45.85
Target - $49.99
Amazon - $51.31 New
There aren't even any physical copies available at Best Buy or Toys"R"Us, and none new at GameStop.
It's absolutely unacceptable that the game has been out for 2.5 years and yet it's doesn't cost much less than full price. You can find copies of major Nintendo games that came out not even a year ago for less, like Super Mario Maker. Obviously, we all know that Nintendo games rarely drop in price, but this one is way behind the times, considering there are very few Wii U games that you can find for above $50 or so as of now. And now the situation is even worse because Wii U Nintendo Selects is now a thing, and this game is not a part of that line-up here in North America. It is in Europe, but not here.
I just want to shell out a reasonable amount of money for a physical copy of the game. Nintendo needs to do some restocks, because I can't remember the last time I saw this game in store. Hopefully those restocks will be under the Nintendo Selects banner..
EDIT: Also, if I see one more person talking down to me and attempting to explain to me how Nintendo's pricing works, I'm going to shoot myself in the foot, I swear to god. I already know this, so that's clearly not the problem here and you should know it. Read the OP. Please.
bet: lost
