And to reference the ground level logic used by someone else towards me: proof? Cause I don't see any other than these price hikes which again aren't happening on every game. Sonic Forces, another $40, is not afflicted. What $60 releases coming are not afflicted. If Nintendo has set a high price on their cards, the price discrepancy should be universal and fairly even. See the N64 situation where actual high prices were real and known as a fact beyond just looking at game prices. And trust me, a price THAT high would have got out very early. |
I have no proof. I'm just more inclined to believe this is the case rather than 3rd party publishers just hiking the price just because.
Nintendo has done this in the past, they treat 3rd parties as competition rather than allies. I think it's common knowledge that during N64 days they not only had ridiculously priced cartridges they expected 3rd parties to buy but also limited the number of copies they could publish, likely because they know their games can't compete with other big budget titles. These days you just have Nintendo games on a Nintendo console and a bunch of shovelware and then Nintendo can brag about how much their games sell compared to third party stuff on their console.lol
