You're right.  Nintendo has no control over what games cost on THEIR system.  They are perfect angels.  /s

-Super Paper Mario sold 3.5m and still sells for $20 on Amazon.

-Resistance: Fall of Man sold 4.23m and sells for $15 or $30 for all 3 games in the series.

Resistance scored slightly higher on metacritic and SPM can be found for FREE on PC emulators.  It's common knowledge that Nintendo has an elitest mentality towards what its games are worth.  That's all I am saying.  

Feel free to agree with me or not but either way one of these things are true:

1) Nintendo lives in a dreamland where it thinks games on their consoles are objectively the best games ever and don't lose much value over time.

2) Nintendo has little control over how games are priced on their console.  They are incompetant and have way below par relatiobships with the people they do business with.

Take your pick.

You're a bit ignorant you know,  because if you'd bothered to try a 5-second Google search, you'd have known developers/publishers choose their own pricepoints on Nintendo's systems. (As Baddman and HylianSwordsman before me pointed out) they get to freely decide when to do sales and for how long, and can offer their game(s) at whatever price they desire. If you deem this particular game too expensive at $20, then you should blame Nordic Games, as they publish it and set its price. They could have offered it for $5, but they chose $20. That's their decision, not Nintendo's. Nintendo decides about games like Paper Mario because they're 1st party games THEY themselves developed/published. Not so for 3rd party games (like Darksiders 2 in this case).

However I'd also like to point out to you that retailers (like Amazon you mentioned) set their own prices, and Nintendo's 1st party games selling for high prices long after release means they still sell decent amounts. That's why they're commonly referred to as 'evergreen' games, because they keep on seeing demand for years. Nintendo doesn't decide if Amazon (for example) keeps selling Mario games for $5 or $50 for 5 years; that's up to Amazon. If the games sell well, why lower the price? The Resistance games you mentioned apparently didn't sell well anymore, because if they did, they'd also still be sold for higher prices. It's economics 101.

Maybe think before you post in the future? Or at least bother to find out if you're right, if you're going to make such a fuss about it and then turn out to be completely wrong after all. It's a bit silly.

Sorry about the double post, guys!
