I agree with your opinion on Nintendo’s first party prices policies, 100%. As a game collector, I have to agree with you, Nintendo are keeping prices way too high comparing to Sony and Microsoft. And I think that they do this in purpose, so in the long run, they can be seen by us,  as a gaming legacy brand.

 

Its hard to argue. In fact you usually want to buy all Nintendo games brand new and pay full retail because the runs are usually limited and there won't be any price markdowns. Games will usually just be here, or not here. Pikmin 3, Bayo 2 and others were commanding high prices. Some of it was alleviated with Nintendo Selects, and the eshop made it so that you more likely than not had a shot at getting the games, but for video game collectors, you really have your ears pinned back by Nintendo.

Exactly man, I’ve missed on some WiiU games (Bayo2, Todd TT), now I’m fuked, I can’t find them anywhere at retail. It’s like Nintendo is doing this in purpose, they print limited runs just to F with us.
