The thing is Nintendo games NEVER drop in price, so can't buy them on the cheap later on. Even used. That really pisses me off, seeing how all other games drop to acceptable levels and only N games remain expensive, sometimes even becoming more expensive than at launch (Xenoblade). Ridiculous.

up until the wii i think that was right.
but with the wiiu i have seen 1st party games drop in price ... hell nintendo is even giving away games for free if you buy mario kart.

you know something is not seeling well enough if games which never ever would get a pricecut in older gens to giving away free games :(

They are still well above the level of Sony/MS games, which is often a dealbreaker for me. I'm not gonna pay 45-60 Euro for a Pikmin, Wonderful 101 or some other game that isn't an obvious hit and comes from a franchise that is unknowned for me. I'd pay some 15-20 Euro for it, but not that much. I'm no, digital versions on the absurd e-shop aren't the answer. Even free games on it have next to no value for me and are no incentive due to them being tied to the console and not my account.
