Of course you, who looked into this, barely have any notice.

My point is the prices are down even with the increase.

Nintendo, unlike Xbox and Playstation, is also one of the few where if things go poorly the management takes pay cuts rather than cutting jobs, and takes risks that justify those reserves if things go really poorly (like the Wii U or GameCube).

And just as an example of how much lower the price of video games has come:

If you want to pirate because you can't afford it go ahead - with how shitty things are in the world, especially the USA, I'm not against it. Heck, if you need a pristine 1st generation Switch (the one that's super easy to hack without hardware modification) I'd be glad to sell you mine. I use my PC for modded gameplay anyway.

All I'm saying is the cheap game gravy train could only go on for so long, especially with ever increasing development costs. Nintendo has in part managed to keep those costs down because they've kept things at 1080p / 30 (or 24)fps for so long.

End of the day, your paycheck not keeping up with inflation is your country's fault, not Nintendo's. If you live in the USA, you're definitely angry at the wrong people, since Japan isn't the one doing tariffs and eroding your worker laws.

Don't know, use internet these days, but in ye old days taxes sort of applied to long distance calls in a way so I'm unsure

From the games listed.

And yes, now I see it's 80-90€ / 70-80$.

Although funny how for once Europe might get the cheaper game price vs the USA (ours has tax built in, US will vary by state)

Only some 3rd party cartridges have a download key on them, and they're significantly cheaper than the ones that don't.

Also where is the 90 price I keep seeing on here coming from? I've only seen 70-80 prices for first party titles. Bravely Default (which is a download key tho) is only 40 isn't it?

There is justice. Many just don't want to administer it themselves, which is understandable.

I've also had a lot of luck with Bazzite so far too.

I believe the tariffs do apply to digital goods as well depending where the server is.

Either way, the main reason would be because of digital was cheaper it would cannibalize physical sales.

Only some games are like that, and the ones that are, are cheaper.

I don't know how you think Mario Party Jamboree is unfinished tho. It's felt like the most polished one on years - probably since the first one on the Wii, except it has even more stuff than that.

It's 70 and 80 tho?

And as an old, even with this price increase games are cheap, especially with how much time you get out of them.

I remember when Mario 3 was 50$ in 1990.

That's a 120$ today I think.

Mario 3 was way easier to make.

You can train the models locally now too. Have been able to for awhile actually, don't even need the latest graphics card, a 3090 or older high server GB cards would work.

Yeah, you're right, people are too soft.

They should do that was done to Nazis during the war instead. Let me know if you volunteer walking into a BAR.
