Forums - Sales - REVII Cheaper than Mario Bros U

It's a reason to buy Nintendo games at launch because they will still be the same price after a year or more

But that's exactly why it's really annoying buying new games from them :/

I guess this is the reason why we see games like Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda getting to the top 1 stop the week they launch, and dissapearing after that. And games like Uncharted 4, GTAV or Call of Duty, come back to the top spots after a lot of weeks have passed since launch.

There's plenty of Nintendo games that drop in price. Some, rather quickly. 

The big games (the Marios, Zeldas, Pokemon, etc) sell forever. They're always in demand. Why lower the price? If you're a retailer or a corporation, your trying to make money. These aren't "front loaded" games. They're more timeless.

Meanwhile RE7 and other games are multiplat. You can watch their stories online if you're so inclined. Stores are going to be saturated with multiple versions on multiple consoles. In three months, some big franchises drop in price $20-$30. They're readily available for purchase in the second hand market because people play them, beat them, and trade them in. People tend to keep Nintendo games.

Pay attention to me!

Well, Pokemon does stay in the top charts for quite a bit longer, but yes, it's more surprising to see Nintendo games like Mario Kart 7 or Animal Crossing pop back into the charts randomly

Only £14 for me; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Mario-Bros-Select-Nintendo/dp/B01D1CZCNI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484931990&sr=8-1&keywords=super+mario+bros+u

So the actual news here is that Capcom isn't confident this RE will be that good so they're not giving it a full AAA price.

To be fair, I have to say that today I found prices at $60~$55 for some of these Nintendo games with another dealer, but only if you buy for internet, which is fine with me. And you are right about it, I play RE mostrly because of the story.  Beat'em 3 times at most and then I put them to collect dust on my shelve (with the exception of RE4, Ive finish that mofo in every single possible way lol). And nintendo games have a lot of replayability (most of them at least).

I am really surprised to read this, wow. Maybe I will attempt to be brave and get REVII for that price...

Nintendo titles price on a reverse bell curve, unless they're super double ultra flops (Wonderful 101 and Rodea).

Was able to get Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Hyrule Warriors for $30.

So, after so much talk about WiiU not getting more support after BotW, I took on the endeavour of looking for those games that Im still missing and should get before they get escarce. So after several dealers webpages, I couldnt find cheaper prices for Mario Bros U or Hyrule warriors than the equivalent of $70 USD... Seventy gooddamn bucks... But ironically I just found a preorder of REVII for $50 USDs which Im getting right about now.

This is exactly what is wrong with Nintendo. Everytime I want to get an old Nintendo game, prices discourages me...

Did you check eShop? Also you can find it on Amazon new for $60 or used for about 1/2 that price. Where were you looking? The superior version that includes new super luigi u is also $60 new or used for about $45 on Amazon.
