Nintendo has been underselling third parties on 3DS, i thought, so they might try it, but you raise a valid point.

I didn't think about that being another reason to make 3rd parties not interested in the Wii U. Hum...

Going back to N64 baby!

That was an insane time. I remember buying Mario 64 and Shadows of the Empire for $80 each when I got my N64. And people say games are expencive now. HA!

Edit: Also the minimum wage at the time was $4.25 an hour.

Well, here where I live prices are around 70usd, so it's similar... =/

I've seen WiiU games up for £49.99, but I've seen them for £32-40 as well (Although 1st party games are generally more expensive). So it all depends on where you buy them. Most Wii games in my local Tesco are still £35+ (Zelda, NSMB, Mario Kart) Nintendo games seem to hold their price longer compared to Xbox & PS3 titles.

Especially Nintendo 1st party games.

Not sure about the $ prices but it's gonna look like that in Europe:

First Party games? €59
Third Party games? €69

Third parties complaining that their lower quality games don't sell at a higher price point? Priceless...

All the Game.co.uk Wii U game pre orders are priced at £49.99. Admitadly that doesnt mean too much yet.

In Japan games will probably cost 5800 (73$) or 6800 Yen (86$).
Keep that in mind when you think 60$ is outrageously expensive...
