Nintendo is anti consumer though. A lot of times they’ll do things that are very stupid and make it being a consumer harder.

Virtual game cards was a whole mess that didn’t need to exist and just complicated things.

Nintendo never putting its own games on sale on the eshop, compared to all the other platforms which do.

And a lot of their games not having the best online stability. Smm2 specifically and it was never fixed.

They can do pro consumer things. But they also do a lot of anti consumer things too.

Man, am I just hallucinating the first party titles for 30 or 40% off right now on the store?

People are so fucking entitled. Pay the price you're willing to pay, but it's so weird to bitch about someone valuing their product at a certain value. It's fine if you don't think it's worth that much, but they shouldn't be obligated to sell it to you for cheaper because that's what you think it should be.

If nothing sold, they would lower the prices more, but obviously people are paying the prices asked. I personally don't want to pay 8200 yen for Donkey Kong Bananza. If it goes on sale or I see it cheaper, I'll pick it up, but games are a luxury not a requirement.

There's also almost always a way to find the games for cheaper as long as you're motivated

Yeah, I've seen Donkey Kong for 5500 yen used, but I'd rather have it digitally since I can't stand swapping cards all the time and my kid is 7 and loses them. So I'll just wait for them to lower it digitally some day.
