It's loving bonkers that people act like Nintendo is killing their dog because they're charging $10 for a 30-hour RPG that's widely considered an all-time classic of the genre. Just because you can get games for $3 in the Steam summer sale doesn't mean they're not worth more than that.

I made a joke about how non-negative opinions about Nintendo weren't allowed a while back, but it's really starting to look like I was right. Is it really so hard to accept that some people aren't upset about every single thing Nintendo does?

Eh, Nintendo are within their rights in dictating their prices. They want to equate prices with quality, and most of the time this has been the case. Most of the time. It would be better if prices were lower though, but discounts will have to do in the meantime. Or wait until it reappears as a Nintendo Selects release.

No one is saying they don't have the right but the consumer has the right to complain. It's just dumb, like the word entitled, which somehow became an insult. Even though it shouldn't be.

The literal definition of entitled isn't an insult, but the word has pretty much become a shorthand for having a false sense of entitlement, which is what many people are tired of seeing.

You're right, there's nothing wrong with complaining if you feel entitled to something and you aren't getting it, but if you (in the general sense, not you specifically) lash out at the people who disagree with you and act like they're just mindlessly defending Nintendo it's going to look like your sense of entitlement is out of proportion.

Also, I think slurs are great, they make it so much easier to figure out who to ignore.

Isn't the whole price discussion kind of moot anyway? They wouldn't charge that much if they weren't able to make adequate money charging that amount. Just like any other company. The best sort of complaining a consumer can do is not purchase things they think they are being charged too much for. Right?

Also, man. A game's price and quality are two totally different things. It's like any other product- you charge what you can get away with charging.

It kinda comes down to whether there's a lesson to "teach" Nintendo, and if they care. There is a reduced value propostion to investing in a Nintendo Console, to a certain extent, because the first party titles never go on sale. However, the console itself is often half the price of its competitors, so you consider that maybe that purchase is being subsidized by Nintendo's always full-price games.

Would I pay $60 for Star Fox Zero? Nah. I have no regrets about paying $60 for Splatoon, though. Similarly, I'd probably pay more than $40 for Monster Hunter if Capcom suddenly decided to start charging it like the Atlus tax. That franchise is like a crack rock the size of a human head, all for me. Do I prefer to pay like $20 or less for a game because it went on Steam Sale? Of course. The end result is that I pay more per game for fewer Nintendo games. Given their release schedule, I think that's honestly what they want.

My main issue with Nintendo is more with games like Star Fox 64 3D. The original came out in the 90s and the port was released in 2011, yet the game is still $40 on the eshop with cart prices being even more hilarious. It rarely goes on sale and when it does it basically just goes down to a more sensible baseline price. As someone who has never played a Star Fox game and has no investment in the series, this puts me off of ever bothering to purchase it. I feel there are a number of titles like this, which is more than a little disappointing. That said, while I personally feel anything over $5 is too much for some of the VC games that are 20-30 years old and running on pure nostalgia, the price point is still low enough that I pay for them without regret. That's my story. :v:

Except that's kind of a lovely example because it's a great game that was beautifully remastered in 3D making good use of it so that people like you that never played the original could enjoy a version that was more up to date? Not to mention that it's worth the price and people will pay it. You can't really compare any of their 3D rereleases to anything on the VC, all of the ones I've seen have been pretty solid.

If you aren't willing to pay what games are worth, maybe you should just emulate them on something else and not get upset about it.

Nintendo software is typically more expensive because that's what their brand is worth. You start selling a bunch of old Mario games for a buck, and then Mario becomes cheap. They've made games that are considered works of art, and aren't supposed to lose their value over time. They're not supposed to be priced in the same category as mobile games, or old Playstation games. They're like Disney movies coming out of the Disney Vault, and Nintendo prices them in a way that makes them (seem) high end.
