Nintendo games are expensive and always have been. Deal with it.

That's true. Nintendo always tries to keep their prices for games as high as possible which helps made Ps1 to succeed.

Least I don't have to throw down an extra 10 dollars per game this generation compared to 360/PS3.

no doubt the table turn some this generation yet i have little doubt a game like GT5 cost many times more than MK wii. IMO nintendo was a little cheap with Wii upgrade of MK.

 

it's the same with hardware , wii may be cheaper but you get a lot better hardware  for your money with the HD consoles.
