Nintendo really should cut the prices of it's first party titles, especially when some are two year's old, the fact that Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Brawl and MK Wii all together cost more than the Wii itself in Australia is pretty bad.

Probably the best part about it was I had never played any of the games (had watched my brother play the first few hours of Corruption), so I essentially got 3 brand new, critically acclaimed games for $7 each. I still haven't finished them all. Good times.

I can understand them not cutting MK Wii's price yet because it's still selling almost 100,000 copies a week (which is insane, at this point), but Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Mario Party should definitely get a cut. Get SMG in the hands of as many people as you can before SMG2 comes out, same with Zelda. Brawl can probably go a bit longer without a cut, but I do think Nintendo keeps the price of these AAA 1st party titles too high for too long.

i doubt it will....i don't think SMG will get a price cut for a while

The main reason I bought my Wii was to play Nintendo games, but when Nintendo games cost $80 each and their 3 years old or a port from an older console it just makes renting them a much better option. Obviously what I say though doesn't matter, because Nintendo are making so much money they probably don't care.

Yeah, you're probably right about that. Most people will still buy the games at the list price, so Nintendo probably doesn't care about the few that opt to rent instead.

The key here is that any of Nintendo games will keep selling for long as people buy Wiis cuz these game are the reason for then to buy a Wii in first place , so when the Wii sales starts to slow down , is when those game will get a price cut ...

Nintendo is the only company I will willing pay full price for a game every time. I would think they would in time, but it is such a great game I do not see a reason to.

It wont happen unless Nintendo releases a "Players Choise" line up of games. Honestly though, i dont see why they shouldnt. Theres a whole slew of new Wii owners out there every month, and cheap, but high quality games will spur SW sales in the future. You get "casual" gamers into buying great $20 games, and perhaps they will invest in newer, more expensive games.

A "Player's Choice" line would be awesome. I think they are doing something kind of like that in Japan where they're putting emphasis on certain overlooked titles at a set, low price point? (I believe they aren't 1st party Nintendo titles, but the concept is the same). And didn't they used to do "Player's Choice" lines for their systems in the past? Or was I dreaming that? Or have I just been drunk the last 20 years?
