trestres,

Dude, you've been on this site for a while now, judging by your post count. Yet it seems that you do not pay attention to the weekly Famitsu charts. I will now enlighten you. Sony, Capcom, and just about every other developer in Japan re-releases games. For example, Monster Hunter Portable has been re-released as a Best hits title. I could provide more examples but one is enough. It's similar to the player's choice titles that are released here in North America.

It's different actually, this is a decision by Nintendo themselves, not by the third parties who made the games. Obviously they will have to agree, but the release dates are given by Nintendo, whereas the Best Hits are released by the publishers themselves whenever they feel its fine.

Actually it has always went through both publishers and the platform owners since the platform owners typically make an official announcement like this whenever something hits that greatest hits status.  Like many games hit platinum status on 360 before its released as a greatest hit on PS3, sometimes they line up, but the console owners still usually make an official announcement as well.

That's what Nintendo is doing here, publishers still have the right to lower their prices how they feel, but for the logo they just have to go through the channels to get it, and with Nintendo's way of doing things they base it off the ratings people give games on the Nintendo channel.

Oh well, my bad I guess. I always thought of it as a cheaper reprint that some companies might be doing regardless of how well the game sold. I don't know how many units they necessarily need to sell, is there a set number?
