I still dont understand why you dont think Wii games are worth full price. Most of the times you say you wont buy a Wii game at full price.

For whatever reason you think Muramasa isnt worth it.

Muramasa is $49.99, thats fucking expensive, even Odin's Sphere was $39.99 when it hit stores. Besides the smart thing for a consumer in this economic crisis is to wait till games drop in price. Muramasa is my most anticipated Wii game, but i'm not gonna throw my money that fast, Wii games tend to drop in price real fast.

actually, wii games drop the slowest on average, but that doesn't really matter as the difference is pennies. However you still haven't answer the question why only wii games. Obviously you'll buy X360 games sooner. Just admit that you despise the wii and love to be able to post in any Nintendo thread that the game isn't worth it and that you won't buy it at full price and haven't bought a game since MKWii. I'm shocked you even admitted that you bought a game. Honestly those are the only type of posts you make that I remember any more since that is all I see.

As for the question? Punch-Out!! at launch for $35 brand new. Actually, wait I got EA Sports Active, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 too.

EDIT: my source to back up my claim - www.videogamepricecharts.com - you can find an article in there backing up my claims if you care to dig through all the old blog posts.

Obviously i would buy games for the 360 sooner, it has much more games that appeal to me. I don't hate the wii, if i would i would just sell it, i just don't hold it in a pedestal like you guys do. I stand by my opinion that those games aren't worth that much. $35 for punch out is close to my ideal price. $29.99 would be DAY 1.

My last purchase was Tiger Woods 10 w/ WM+
Congrats on your purchases. Trauma Center is my favorite non-1st party game on Ninty systems, unless the older Bombermans count.

In Australia we pay 65$ (50 US)on average for a brand new Wii game. When Ps360 games cost 30$ (24 US) more than Wii games, they are already cheap enough.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

my last full wii game purchase was okami used (really great game btw, just the painting takes some practice and getting used to0.)

my last wiiware purchase was swords and soldiers (also a great game)

my next purchase will be little kings story (i've got it preordered. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS BABY!)



come try out the computer game i've been working on for my high school senior project, titled sling ball. http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=76669&page=1

you can view a few screenshots from the game in my photo album here; http://www.vgchartz.com/photos/album.php?album=2312

well you sure do make it seem like you do. You post in every thread that you wouldn't pay for it full price for Wii game X. There are plenty of games I won't pay full price for on the PS3 (or Wii for that matter), but I don't post about it every single time.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

you make me feel guilty, but sometimes i really cant wait.My latest games .or my 2k9 games are Punch Out! ,Madworld, The Conduit and in some weeks Little King Story.  I kinda feel left out when a game i anticipated for months comes out and everyone is playing it except me , drooling at trailers...you get my point.

yeah i still get that feeling, but i'm older now and have to balance my budget out. Last games i bought at full price were SF IV and RE IV, and while i don't regret it, i could had saved $40 if i would had waited 4 months.

oh snap, i just won trauma center: new blood for 12.00 on ebay. :)

Actually the idea is that people should be spending more now but aren't because prices are high. People not spending makes the economy crash even harder. Eco 201 info >.>
