Its not really on the cheap when you compare it to PSN sales.

Its my one gripe with the 3DS. Games are way too expensive for what they are.

I'm guessing that you think that RE: Revelations HD is too expansive as well then? Or that Mario 3D Land isn't worth $40-50? And paying $40-50 for a Mario Kart just won't do...?

I'm guessing you're trying to pick a fight for no good reason. Its up to each one of us wich games are worth full price. It depends on each people's own tastes.

The problem i have is these 3DS games stay at full price for years after. Personally, no i dont think a Mario 3D Land is worth 50. Would i consider getting it for say 20? Yeah i would, but its likely it will never get to that price. Unfortunely, this is the rule with most 3DS releases. Look at castlevania for example. Still at full price, it flopped and its getting ported in HD for much cheaper bundled with another game. How does that make sense? How does MGS3D for 50 make sense when you can get HD collection on Vita and PS3/360 for 20?

The game pricing on the 3DS does not make sense. They are losing money.

I'm sorry if I come off as angry/wanting to pick a fight, I just find that statement ignorant. I can absolutely agree that Nintendo should lower the price on their games after a few years, but the fact that they don't do that doesn't mean the game isn't worth the original $50.

And I agree that Castlevania shouldn't be full price since it flopped so hard, and remakes are on their way. And the same goes for MGS3D as well.Bottom line is that it's the individual companies that set the prices for their games; Nintendo doesn't tell Capcom what to charge for RE Revelations.

And Nintendo isn't losing money on 3DS anymore... Just take a look at Mario 3D World/Mario Kart or NSMB2... they'll all end up above the 10 mil limit...
