Forums - Gaming - Why Are You Mad At Gamestop? You Should Be Mad At Nintendo.

So let me get this straight.  A game comes out with very limited supply and the price quickly escalates to $200+ and Nintendo ignores the outcry from the fans to print more copies, then Gamestop gives the fans what they want, more copies of the game and people get mad at Gamestop...what?  This would have never happened if Nintendo actually listened to its fans, which they almost never do.  Also the price of $90, I think its a little high tbh, but think about it, these are new copies of the game they just don't have the plastic on them.  New copies are selling on ebay for double or triple the price that Gamestop is asking.  All in all this only happend because Nintendo ignored the outcry from their fans, hell they still haven't commented on this because they probably don't want to bring attention to the fact that they neglected their fans so now someone else is giving them what they wanted.

People were mad at GameStop for Xenoblade?

I thought they were mad at them for every other problem they have.



they should be mad at both



I can't believe Nintendo hasn't put it on the eShop yet.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

:D

Not mad at either, I picked up the game when it was relatively new for $50 because I knew - like most Nintendo games - it would either a) stay at full price for a long, long time (4-5 years easy) or b) be rare and quickly hard to find without paying even more than $50. Why is this news to everyone? This is how nintendo works because their games are nearly all high quality and their replayability is very high. If you want games in the bargin bin go get them but the best ones are full price and/or hard to come by and that's just how it works.

PS. Still haven't gotten around to playing more than about an hour of the game because I don't have time for a big RPG at the moment (also have the Wii Fire Emblem to play as well) but still glad I picked it up.

Nintendo will react soon. You can barely have a nintendo youtube video without them big brothering you, let alone doing this.

It would be funny if nintendo released a 100,000 copies and gamestop ended up losing money on these additional copies.


If Nintendo releases another 100 000 copies I will make another thread praising them and saying I was wrong.



I am aiming the blame squarely at Ninty for this. Love the guys there, but they annoy me on so many levels.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


Didn't realise people were even mad at GameStop. There you are.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I don't think that Nintendo will produce more copies of Wii Games, but i think they'll be available on the e-shop soon. At the Moment Nintendo is more interested in producing WiiU games.

But i think that Nintendo actually listens to fans. Without listening, their wouldn't be an Earthbound on e-shop, an Art Academy for WiiU or they wouldn't allow to play SSB Melee at the EVO 2013.

sorry for my bad english and so on...



When you think my english is bad...sorry for my bad english,    i'm from Germany. And yeees, sorry, that we've almost destroyed the whole world, blahblahblah

I am not mad. My grandparents got me my copy the day it came out since I was away (though some GS employee totally stole my artbook. That I'm mad about.)



don't waste time
