Forums - Nintendo Discussion - It's been almost 3 years and Wind Waker HD is still $50+ in the US

Nintendo thinks highly of it's games. They basically price gouge it's fan base to turn a profit on it's console.

Yeah so ?? These are NINTENDO GAMES not 3rd party games. Their price never goes down. This is also a Zelda game too btw. Still worth its price

No, it's just out of print for intents and purposes. Wind Waker dropped to $30 last year. I bought it for $22 ($30 + 20% discount from Best Buy) when I got my Wii U.

Although, most games do stick around at full price, unless they flop really badly.

I'm surprised, it's $50 in Canada so i figured it would be way cheaper in the states.

MicroSony wishes their games could stay up in price like that. As a consumer I don't like it, but I can see why Nintendo does it.

I have the Zelda Wii U edition so I only got a digital copy. Wish it was physical. I always made profit selling my old copies. Especially the OoT and Masters Quest GC disc. I made bank on that thing.

I got a bunch of the for $12.87 at Sam's Club. Sold them on ebay for $34.99.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Your spot on correct about used Nintendo game staying high priced. Historically Nintendo games have the lowest trade ins of any games made. Not many used copies are for sale. People hold on to their Nintendo games. Look at how many gamers still Play Melee on the competitive level.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

That's the price of quality.
