Well in that case I don't understand why DKC is $50. Maybe they don't expect the game to sell well? Don't think that's the reason. |
The easiest answer, is that Nintendo needs to increase software sales and in turn, increase the software tie ratio with the Wii U. Right now Wii U has historically low software sales for a home console. Home consoles traditionally have high tie ratios with software compared to handhelds. The GameCube, for example, had a pretty high tie ratio, even though many would have assumed otherwise, because of the low install base.
Basically, any way Nintendo can sell more first-party games along with new sales of the system, they're going to do it, and that includes bundles, like the Wind Waker HD Wii U Deluxe set, as well as charging $49 for certain games instead of $59 in order to sell more copies than normally would be sold. Remember, for Nintendo, the name of the game this holiday season is to exceed sales expectations and meet the $1 billion profit forecast by next April.
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
