Boy, rich people really are out of touch with reality arent they. Live in their own little world of everything being handed to them and over pricing everything made in a sweat shot.

@GannonBanned They find it scary. They only discovered Youtube a few years ago. Wait until someone tells them about "Social media".

@SwitchForce The fact is..its no longer theft or piracy. when there are zero ways to obtain it legally piracy become the ONLY option. This is when piracy is 100% acceptable.

The only idiots defending Nintendo still need to have their head checks. Sue the hell out of pirates, the remove legitimate content, making the ONLY way to get old games is...pirating.

Does Nintendo just like to shoot itself in the foot over and over again?

@Mattock1987 Well this didnt age well. bhahahaaha

@Zuljaras I honestly thought you were one of those people that didnt understand just how much more hand made goods are vs mass produced. But nope..those prices are insa.e

Sadly this just teaches them they can ship a half finished game, get destroyed in the press and STILL make a fortune. Just encourages them to keep doing it.

@nowthisisepic Oh an my main issue is the Nintendo first party games. I get Nintendo has always had terrible sales deals on its games, but they pick the exact same games every sale and its very frustrating.

Even for every black friday an boxing week deals. Its always: Mario Maker, Breath of the Wild, maybe Splatoon and thats about it. and its always the same price. Its just frustrating when Nintendo is the ONLY dev/publisher than doesn't put its games on sale then boasts about having a massive sale.

@nowthisisepic OH i have a massive collection of games across every system. AAA, lowest budget and Indie games. Some of my favorite games have been indie. My issue is the eshop sales are almost always the same. they also have a "massive sale" but the majority of those games are the awful mobile game ports that are just copy an pasted code, that for some reason, Nintendo seems to let on the eshop, my guess is so they can boast about title numbers.

But due to the way the eshop is poorly design, even indie devs have said this, good titles get buried under $0.01 games that have no right to be at the front of the store and always are.

So itll be the same games that are always on sale and anything good will be buried under a mountain of terrible mobile ports.

@Fizza It wont. Hope you enjoy Mario Vs Rabbids going on sale with its 100th time.

@Medic_Alert Correct, Only Nintendo sales could be negatively received. Because their sales are a massive joke. It's always the same mobile port games, a few of the exact same 3rd party devs, Like Ubi and then the exact same 1st party games.

Before I even look, I'm 100% certain its going to be the exact same games that go on sales over and over. 95% will be terrible mobile ports, 2% will will be the same Nintendo games that always go on sale and 3% will be 3rd party devs that always go on sale.

I fixed the headline for you:

"Dear Konami, please do something decent"

Hmm we all want the XCX Remaster but we know its never going to happen because they dont like money haha. So maybe just a new title.

@Deepdoop Yeah its been said before even by those companies. Microsoft and Sony have been open about not competing with Nintendo. Its an alternative. Even Nintendo know they cant compete with them so it wouldnt make much sense.

They would be better off funding games with those studios. They would make the money back on a game but not buying a company.

The fact that the majority of the industry and consumers are massively against NFTs and still some devs are trying to use them shows whos out of touch.

@WhiteUmbrella I hope thats sarcasm haha

@echoplex This was the same with their pathetic strike on ROM sites. Amazing games, no other way to access 90% of them, doesnt cost Nintendo anything or hurt them so its pathetic.

Nintendo being pathetic as usual. No other way to listen to them, doesnt hurt them financially, actually helps them make money because people sometimes buy games based on soundtracks.
So this is yet another move JUST to be petty.

Why does this look good?! I think because the art style reminds me of Jak and Daxter and i would kill for a Crash type remake of that.

@Z-Core No one should be surprised if its bad. Almost every Sonic game has been poorly reviewed and full of issues since the Dreamcast.

This is why some countries have anti-monopoly laws. Sony bought small companies to make new IPs but Microsoft is buying big ones JUST to cancel games on other systems. Financially its smart but its incredibly dirty tactics.

@JimiVall What are you talking about? Its the exact same art style just without the old time filter on it.

They said that about Bethesda then promptly changed their story and screw over all gamers by cancelling games for other system's

As usual Nintendo put in the least amount of effort unfortunately. Overpriced, broken games, and zero acknowledgement from Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft have both made mistakes and owned up and fixed it. Nintendo wont even admit they have a joycon drift

@blindsquarel I cant think of anything worse. It was bad in absolutely every way possible. There isnt a single thing redeable about it.

@mainstream05 Knowing them busy copy and pasting the same list of games they always put on sale haha

@TMG44 Really? You mean like an actual official Pokemon design thats just a floating set of keys on a keyring?

When you remember that a real pokemon is a floating set of keys on a key ring, a literal pile of garbage and a heart shaped fish. Yeah..these are all way better

Its not a glitch. Tom Nook has put them so far into debt that they literally have to give them the shirts of their backs to pay their bills.

Anyone rating it 8 and above is being far too generous in my opinion.

@JasmineDragon Fair enough. Shame though. The movie was significantly better than any of the games in over a decade.

@JasmineDragon Curious why. The first was was surprisingly good, way better than it should have been.

@Doofenshmirtz I feel like this is going to be another super scaled down game that doesnt belong on the Switch but is just being crammed onto it. A true next gen game just cant work on the Switch

@Funneefox I imagine a lot. Nintendo has spent a fortune on press recently.

@nessisonett Nintendo dont need the press? Have you been living under a rock? They have been paying celebrities to advertise the switch haha.

They literally just paid, Christina Aguilera, Serena Williams, Neil Patrick Harris, Annie Murphy, Brie Larson and Jimmy Fallon to promote it an be in commercials for it.

Nintendo is 100% about the press and needs it, your comment is laughable haha. Of course Nintendo paid for this segment and praise haha.

Hell i work for a major retailer on the corporate side and they just paid us to run an instore campaign haha.

Get a clue buddy lol

@jsty3105 The discount model is how all retail works. Demand declines, you put it on sale to promote more sales. I work in that field, its standard for every single market.
If a 7 year old car was priced the same as it was on day 1 no one would ever buy it.
We know it's sustainable because its been happening since the days of the Atari 2600 40+ years ago, even those games went on sale.

Theres no other industry or company i can think of that doesn't have sales or discount prices on older product, not one.

And thats what i mean when i say they artificially keep their value. Games on other system continue to sell even with sales and discounts. Nintendo games only show high numbers because most people know the games wont go on sale.
That's what's artificial about it, Nintendo force it to keep the value. Its just market manipulation.
Nothing illegal about it but its sure as hell as greedy and manipulative of the consumer.

@Poco_Lypso Not for first party games. When was the last time anyone talked about Arms?
2017 still full price.

Snipper clips, totally dead, full price, 2017.

Even if the games are dead and dont sell Nintendo never drops the price.
First party Wii U games where still full price even after Nintendo admitted its a dead system.

Thats my issue, if the games are dead then you drop the price to boost interest. Its how ALL retail works so why hasnt Nintendo got that message.
Its a sign that they artificially price games high when theres no reason.

Mario Kart 8 is a 7 year old game.
The Switch version is just the same game with the same DLC and its still full price. That seems normal to you?
A 7 year old game that very rarely goes on sale is still full price and its from the previous generation? If you dont see whats wrong with that then you might be missing something.

@Poco_Lypso I couldnt even remember that game. What's your point?

I had to google it

@jsty3105 I agree they should expand on the Wii U remasters but again charging full price for them is just pure greed.

Just look at Mario Kart. they did virtually nothing to it but charged full price. But they used a whole new engine for Xenoblade and added a new area and charged the same.
Charging full price for an old game while doing the bare minimum is pretty crappy.

And yes it works for them but they wouldnt loose money if they put different games on sale ones a year.
For example, i have no intention on buying Pokemon Sword or Shield. But if it goes on sale I'll buy it and im not alone. The whole point is to promote older games.
Charging full price for a 3+ years old game is insane.

If you bought anything else that old for the same price it would be stupid.

@dew12333 Its not many though, its every. Every single company discounts games. The ONLY one that doesn't is Nintendo. COD keeps its value high but even they have sales quite often to promote people to join in and promote the title. Smash Bros Ultimate came out in Dec 2018, never once has it gone on sale. 3 years and not once.
It's just Nintendo being greedy. Hell, the WIi U was a flop but from day 1 to the end they still charged full price for titled. Even now the list price for those games is still full retail.

I work in corporate retail, directly with a buyer an a Nintendo rep and we know how it works. The most annoying part is that when they do a sale its always the same games. Why only pick the same 4 of 5 games every single time.

Every time I say something negative against the Pokemon the fanboys defend it an come after me, but every single time a new game comes out I'm 100% right.
Its a multi billion dollar company thats gives a $10 budget to make a game. They always go as cheap as possible and the fans eat it up and they know it.

They could make a bug filled mess and the fans would still buy it by the boat load and Nintendo/Game Freak know it. Thats why they always do the least amount of work possible for the most amount of profit.

The fans speak, it gets ignored, the fans get mad...then still buy it.

@jsty3105 Other companies know that games lose value and lowering the price brings in more sales for people that didnt jump in the first time around.
Nintendo gets to the top of the list artificially. They don't get there because the game keeps the value. They get there because people know Nintendo games never go on sale so they just buy them anyway.

2020 3 Nintendo games were in the top 20 list.
1 of those was artifically shoved to the top because it was the 3 Mario games that were temporary, so everyone went nuts trying to get it before it was taken off the market.

The games dont keep their value, Nintendo forces them to keep their value. Every other games gets to the top of the list legitimately.

You can hate on me all you like but those are cold hard facts. Its how they have always operated.

@1UP_MARIO Of course it will. Same as with all first party games, same games, same price every damn year.

We all know how this is going to go because its the exact same every single year. They boast about 1000 games on sale, its 980 Mobile games that should be free, 15 third party games that are on sale every few weeks and 5 first party games that are the exact same ones we get every single sale that most people already own.

Nintendo price lock their games, the ONLY company that still does it and tthe hard fans still think its normal

I love Sony but i just dont get the censorship thing. They had sex scene in God of War, you can rip of the heads of people but this was somehow wrong?

@faint No, i want Nintendo to pay attention to the consumer like Sony and Microsoft do. Because thats what a modern company does. Not the small dumb complaints but the legit feedback and concerns like joycon drift.

@Specter_of-the_OLED It isn't about the hardware, its the policies and background tech. Nintendo has proven that hardware isnt the only metric. The Switch is the least powerful system but tis clearly selling insanely well, i love mine.

The issue is their social media presents, operational policies everything in the background people ignore.

Like the insane Youtube policy that punished fans for liking their games that they had to reverse because of massive backlash and bad press.

Price locking 1st party games that literally no other developer has done for more than a decade.

This entire N64 thing where they clearly put little to no effort into it and charge far more than they should have, an thats pretty obvious looking at their social media feed backlash and news sites.

Social media where Xbox and Sony both listen to users and try to solve issues based on feedback but Nintendo just pretends those issues dont exist.

Refusing to admit the massive drift issues despite the fact its a very well published issues. I barely use my switch in hand held, i use a pro controller yet my joycons are drifting.

Shutting down all fan games that dont hurt Nintendo at all. But it was fans that made Sonic Mania and that was the best sonic game in many years. As long as the fan games arent making money it hurts no one and can actually grow to become real games that Nintendo could invest in.

So it isn't hardware, its internal policy that's the issue. They are so scared of working with outside devs on new games but games like Rabbids proved how well that can actually work but they are still stubborn.

There will still be Nintendo fan boys supporting this and defending them and thats why Nintendo will never learn and stay decades behind other companies. Even the fans need to call them out on their BS and they wont.
