Re: Talking Point: With Prices Rising, Are Your Gaming Habits Changing?

I did not pay full price for any switch 1 game.
Much thanks to staying a few years behind and waiting for mar10 day, black Friday etc.
Also to some extent thanks to game vouchers when "needing" a new game.

I will probably pay full price for Splatoon 4 since I spent 1000+ h in Splatoon 3
Maybe for a new 3d Zelda?

But I have quite a few backlog games that will be enhanced on switch 2, so I'm good for a while.

Needed a second switch for the kids, so they get my current and I get the new one...

I bought Splatoon 3 on a e-shop sale for $40. I would not have given it a try for any more than that.
Now I have spent 1000+ hours in that game.
Would I spend $80 on the next Splatoon if I had to? Probably. But also probably the only game that I could justify myself paying such a price.

I also bought mario kart 8 deluxe on a sale for $40 + the DLC. I still have not played all the tracks.
Will I buy World for $80? No.

Someone else probably have the opposite experience.
Pricing games must be a nightmare.

$80 is a price for for die hard fans of a certain game, I can't see massive mainstream sales... will be interesting to see.

I think we are still going to see Nintendo having e'shop sales on World in a year or two...
