Nintendo - SMG price cut? - View Post

Nintendo is the only company I will willing pay full price for a game every time. I would think they would in time, but it is such a great game I do not see a reason to.

 

Even the best of the best should get a price cut over time. Saying that it's okay for Nintendo to keep their prices high while implying that everyone else has to cut prices over time implies that Nintendo-made games are of some godly quality that is unattainable by anyone else. 

There are plenty of high-quality games on all platforms that go down in price over time, so I don't buy the Nintendo-fan line of "it's worth it" by virtue of the game being made by Nintendo. While they develop excellent games, Nintendo doesn't have magical properties that make their games inherently better and more worthwhile than other highly regarded games. I know Iwata has spoken on this subject before, but I don't buy his reasoning at all.
