And it does matter that its an old game. I've never played it before but I know Nintendo already made their money on it because it came out 4 years ago, so my consumer perception is no way in hell would I pay the price it came out for now on their next system four years later, let alone even MORE than its original price. Things are supposed to go down in price over time, not up! (outside of rare collectibles, which this game is of course not). If it came out at $40 which would have been reasonable I would have considered getting it. $50 no. $60 just makes me mad at Nintendo being greedy jerks. If Nintendo released Super Mario 64 on the Switch for $70 ($10 more than original) would that make sense? If they release Wind Waker HD (they better I need this game!) for $60 would that make sense? If they released Super Mario Galaxy for $60 would that make sense? No, it wouldn't. |
Ok may bad, sorry for confusing you with someone else.
I agree that prices going up instead of down is irritating. I feel the same way. But you are arguing that the price should go down because Nintendo has already made their money back. This doesn't make much sense, honestly. Nintendo doesn't care if they already receive profits from it or not. They will want to profit on it as much as they can, and they are obviously risking to lose sales from potential buyers like you with this strategy.
But I won't focus on this argument alone. I see your point and I can understand your anger. Maybe it appears on a sale one day and you can grab it then. But, I mean, if a game like Super Bomberman R goes for 50€, Ultra Street Fighter II goes for 40, or even 1-2 fucking Switch goes for 50, and all fo these games sold good, then we may see that their prices are probably okay. Furthermore, DKCTF is a bigger and better game than all of these combined.
Oops, I defended their pricing strategy with this, now someone's going to jump at me.
