What's the point of this thread to be honest (no trolling)?

Furthermore, appalling is a strong word, one might suggest you revise or use another terminology in order to express your views and get your point across.

In addition, MSRP of 59.99$ and 39.99$ are for retail games, not downloadable or free to play games. Thus, your comparison is quite flawed. Moreover, these prices are the same across the board for all video game publishers, not Nintendo only. Hence, I believe you should change your stance and direct your focus as to why do video game publishers sell retail games at 59.99$ or 39.99$.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a downloadable game. I think NSMB U is as well.

No. It is a retail game that happens do be downloadable. Same for NSMBU. That's a small but important difference.

And how does that change anything to his point? It's downloadable at 60$, and Trine 2 is downloadable at 15. So what's the point?
