Great minds think alike. |
The thread has nothing to do with me buying the game. It has to do with the viability of the practice and what effect it has on Nintendo on the long-term. Sadly this forum (apart from a few exceptions here) blocks before we can get to that point, as your excellent post demonstrates.

They are retail games available via a downloadable medium, quite a difference. I also find it disapointing that you are attacking Nintendo, and Nintendo only in regards to video game pricing and not the industry as a whole. One might be inclined to think that you are shortsighted. |
@bold. And how does that change anything to your point? It's downloadable at 60$, and Trine 2 is downloadable at 15. So what's the point?
I'm saying the hard truth about Nintendo because I want them to be better, because they mean so much to me. If I haven't talked about the others, it's because I don't care as much. There could be a case to make for them but it doesn't interest me atm. If you have a case, make it. One poster already mentioned LBP.

Rolstoppable said: Or maybe people won't realize it, because games like Angry Birds and Trine don't hold a candle to Nintendo games, so Nintendo's software prices remain reasonable in people's perception. So far we haven't reached the point where the option is between a $10 and $50 game, let alone a $1 and $50 game. I don't expect this to happen in the future either, at least not to Nintendo. Other companies might get threatened though. |
:) You could be right Rol, but seeing the potential of some of these games, and seeing the decreasing sales power of some of Nintendo's games, it's honestly my expectation for the near future, and Nintendo will be in trouble if they don't prepare in advance. You never fully see the threat before it arrives, but it's always good to prepare for it before it hits. imho.
