Nintendo already gouges their fans enough with the $60 titles that never drop in price, the plastic toys, and the hundred different versions of a console that no one can properly name because of the variations. However, they still need more money. They are out of touch and i'm glad youtubers like Joe are finally calling them out. Nintendo doesn't deserve free passes because they're Nintendo.


You serious about this? This isn't really the thread to get into this, but Nintendo is also one of the few companies to release games at variable prices (releasing numerous 40$ games), they consistently have the cheapest hardware, last gen, they were the only company to have the base price for games at 50$, they have mostly been praised for their DLC practices etc..

Your complaints are petty at best and laughable in the grand scheme of things...

These are the same exact topics he spoke about in the video IN THE THREAD ABOUT THE VIDEO.

Plus i'll call you out and say the above is bull. They price lower (Yes that's true) but they hardly ever drop in price. Most titles from any other company hit $20 in 6 months to a year but look around and you'll see Wind Waker HD (year and a half ago) at full price.

Fair enough, I assumed this thread was solely about the Youtube policy

Anyways, I've seen this complaint a number of times and every time I find it hilarious. I see no reason to criticize Nintendo because they make and sell games with legs. Its just supply and demand curves. Is it honestly "gouging" when you are buying the game for the price that it was designed to be sold at? How can anyone see that as anything other than a petty complaint? The fact that Nintendo releases some games at 40$ just compounds this, as they sell the game at the price they believe the game to be worth.
