Why do Nintendo game prices never fall?

Want a better example? Just check the charts, you'll find Mario Kart Wii, still charting practically every single week despite being an 8 year old game on a previous gen console.

Really, Nintendo games are way less frontloaded than any other games, so there is no reason to slash the price in half after merely a few weeks to keep the momentum going, they just keep selling over the course of an entire generation, and some games even 2 generations when backwards compatible.

I don't think MKWii's sales come from backwards compatibility at all, which is a bit sad actually.

I do know a few guys who did buy it for their Wii U, so I assume at least a part of the sales comes from Wii U owners. How big their part is in the sales is however a unknown quantity, that's sure.
