>>323507037
NoA distributes their games for like a month, and then stops for no good reason. So scalpers buy all the remaining copies and ramp up the price.
Nintendo fans are rabid and retarded. Bayonetta 2 is still easily found at any retail for 60 dollars.
Also the Canadian dollar is shit right now, so expect it to reach 1990s price points of +100 dollars a game.
>>323505893
>THINKING THIS IS EXPENSIVE
I remember paying $90 for Phantasy Star 2 on SEGA genesis at toys R us in the 90s. That's like $150 in modern money, & that was new on the shelf.
Why didn't you buy bayonetta 2 when it came out? Oh, what's that? You're a bandwagon jumper & wanted to play the game after the Smash Bros. Trailer?
Seriously, fuck you, & fuck this thread. Get a job, or pirate those 3DS games.

I had Bayo 2 since launch but I sold it, because I always saw Bayo at every fucking games store for like thirty bucks. The next day she gets confirmed for smash and it's suddenly 100+ dollars.
Just fucking shoot me in the face.
>>323511449

>>323511787
No boxed game is worth $100, doesn't mean it's fair that people should be forced to buy digital just because Nintendo of America doesn't release games for more than a year.
>>323511687
I bought bayo 2 like 3 weeks after she was announced for $35
>>323511936
>>323511473
Nah, its usually because they under supply their games, so their harder to find. You know for a fact that their games are no better than other triple A titles. Youre just blinded by your brand loyalty.
Open your eyes, this isnt common business practice. Just because it happens this way, doesnt mean it should. The prices charged for these games after even a year, is way too high.

>>323512462
You're clearly upset that Nintendo doesn't play by your rules. If you want their games physically, get them at launch. Otherwise you're stuck with it being digital.
>>323510075
>Silly Sonygger logic thinking that all games need to be 75% off a month after release because they have no long term value.
I don't think that's what OP is complaining about. He's not complaining about paying full price, he's complaining that Nintendo games are under supplied and scalpers buy them up to sell at 2-3x the full price.
Games being full price 1, 2, or even 3 years later is no issues. Games being twice their initial price only 6 months later is bullshit, no defending it.
But you can't stop defending it, people like >>323512676 will always be there to make silly excuses for shit like this.
Nintendo is notorious for almost never dropping the price of their games, and NoA I n particular is notorious for understocking just about everything.
>>323512393
>don't flood the market with countless copies of your games
>retail stores end up not having to bargain bin your games to 10$
The price will go back down once they print or resupply amazon with more copies.
>>323512676
You're literally retarded. Fuck off back to /pol/ shithead.
>>323510867
>He thinks one year is a normal time for a AAA game to stop printing and become rare
Why even defend this? Nintendo doesn't even remotely gain from NoA's understocking, only scalpers do.
If you're so loyal to Nintendo you should stop enabling this and make noise about wanting more stock for them to sell and profit off of.
>>323512930
>The price will go back down once they print or resupply amazon with more copies.
Yup, exactly this. Can't wait for Amazon to get new copies of the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade Chronicles. Then the prices will go back down.

>Yup, exactly this. Can't wait for Amazon to get new copies of the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade Chronicles. Then the prices will go back down.

>>323512930
Are you seriously defending the under supplying of games? If you think that waiting a year to resupply is suitable, then youre playing ignorant. You, as a consumer, are complaining that other companies are ensuring their product becomes affordable.
You. The one who pays.
They dont get any extra money for under supplying, in fact they lose out. After a year, the demand will go down.
Its genuinely sad that this is defended.
>plenty of Bayo 2 copies sit on store shelves for a year
>no reason to make any more
>Smash bandwagon comes along and buys all of the copies
>WHAT THE FUCK NINTENDO
Where were you for the entire year Bayo 2 was in every store?
>>323513672
There's plenty of reasons to not buy a game for a year. Maybe OP is only just now buying a Wii U and wants to get Bayo 2 for it.
Nintendo discourages new customers and then wonders why they don't get any.
>>323505893
I don't buy new games until like 3 years. But apparently Nintendo games are fucking expensive even after a couple of months. An example is Pikmin 3
>>323506245
Wow I wasn't aware I own so many rare games
>>323513613
Yes, I'm okay with my copy of the game not losing value within a year
I mean if I buy a halo game, I know it'll be worthless before the generation is over. If I buy a nintendo game, at it's worst will lose 30% of it's value.
I would only care if it inconvinced me, which it doesn't because nintendo games are typically always instock within release + before christmas. I don't think I've run into an issue buying a nintendo game since brawl. I care even less because I can just buy digital.
>>323514279
>Yes, I'm okay with my copy of the game not losing value within a year
It doesn't have to lose value. Nobody is saying it should be $15. Just not $100 after a year.
How can you defend this? Aside from you being a scalper who just wants to make money.
>>323505893
Bayo 2 sold less than Bayo 1
Did you honestly think they were going to print that shit any longer than the damn holiday season?
You think Nintendo was going to waste discs printing more copies than what would sell in the first 3 months?Not that it matters since this thread is full of Smash Bandwagon faggots
I have the perfect solution to your problem OP

>>323514638
Shhh you're supposed to think Nintendo themselves are doing that.
>>323514636
So? It inconveniences people who want to support Nintendo. It encourages >>323514549 and makes games less successful than they potentially can be.
We're more likely to get sequels and localization if games sell well.
How retarded are you?
It's not any fucking better in the US, bayo is 80$, and OOT3d was 100$ up until recently.
>>323511687
>>323512383
What? I was looking to buy bayo 2 before she got confirmed for smash and I couldn't fucking find it online for less then 60$
>>323511787
even if I wanted to buy digital, that would require me getting an external hard drive because the wiiu only has 32 of internal memory, so that's gonna be like 40$ right there.
40 (hard drive) + 30$ (bayo 2 diigital) + 10$(bayo 1 digital) = 80 the same exact fucking price as a physical copy.
>>323513672
I didn't fucking buy a wiiu till the holidays.
>>323515068
That's not entirely true, scarcity has shown to increase demand
>>323511430
>manufacturers having that level of control in a secondhand market
Blame the consumers, dickfuck.
>>323513878
>Nintendo discourages new customers and then wonders why they don't get any
Seriously this.
I bought an N3DS when they launched and it was my first 3DS.
I'd hoped to pick up some launch 3DS titles and catch up on what I missed, hopefully get a good deal on price now they're years old, only to find they're even more expensive now than before.
£50-£60 for OoT 3D. I ended up buying it on the eShop for £36, which is still ridiculous.
No other company does this. PS4 and XBONE titles older than a few months drop down to £20 on Amazon, and even on PSN & XBL launch titles are discounted to around that price too.
Honestly, fuck Nintendo prices.
They've only got themselves to blame for the state they're in.
>>323515343
>scarcity has shown to increase demand
And the scalpers reap all the benefits.
>>323515426
>Manufacturer doesn't manufacture a suitable amount of product
>Scalpers buy up the supplies to resell at ridiculous prices
>This continues to happen over decades
The manufacturer can easily fix this but they don't.
Wait a minute. Wasn't Nintendo taken to court and TRIED in the 80s over price fixing of their games? Didn't Nintendo "lose" the case and had to mail out coupons to customers?
>>323514638
eShop prices are almost as bad.
Launch titles at launch prices. Ridiculous.

>>323515867
There's no price fixing from Nintendo here. It's all from resellers.
>>323517060
Bayonetta isn't a launch title.
The market justifies the prices fro this shit. Next time buy them sooner.
>>323517273
I meant to clarify; Nintendo games rarely, if ever, decreasing in price. Other companies do it, but not Nintendo themselves. They were taken to court for that years ago, weren't they?
>>323517060
>Games should go down in price because fxweafasd
They stay that price because enough people will pay it and they make profit from doing so.
>>323517486
>I meant to clarify; Nintendo games rarely, if ever, decreasing in price
Because Nintendo games are rarely resold.
>ITT WHY IS BASIC ECONOMICS SO UNFAIR
>>323517523
Clearly not, because Nintendo have less sales and less customers than other platforms.
One could make the argument that Nintendo's high prices and reluctance to reduce price on titles over time turns away potential customers.
>>323517486
They have nothing to do with resellers.
The price hardly changes because the demand for Nintendo games almost never dimishes.
Why do you think Gamestop was still selling carts of Pokemon for $20+ before phasing out GBA games?
>>323517486
What you're referring to is not what is happening here.
>>323517906
>Why do you think Gamestop was still selling carts of Pokemon for $20+ before phasing out GBA games?
go check Amazon for any pokemon game and see the prices, do you think Nintendo controls the prices?
The market determines these prices
>>323515119
Except the external works for every digital game, so the more digital; games you own the less it costs per game.
>drive up the prices of used games
>undercut the used games market by coming out with a cheaper "remake" a few years later
>screw over your fanbase coming and going
just wait it out, OP, and in 2018 you can buy Bayonetta 2 on the NX for $60.
Movies and books don't have this problem, why do games have to?
These games are available on the Nintendo eShop.
>>323514810
>>323514638
the point is that nintendo printed a handful of copies of bayonetta 2 at launch and no more.
they then announced bayonetta in smash bros (advertisement for the game) but decided to not take advantage of this surge of interest and print more copies.
thus bayonetta 2 price skyrockets.
>>323517845
First party Nintendo content usually outsells Sony/MS first party stuff while staying at or near its launch price. This is why Nintendo gives minimal fucks about third parties appearing on their console: the profit they gain from the licenses on third party content is not as lucrative as the share of money they get from their own.
I mean obviously they'd prefer getting both in an ideal setup along with high console sales, but still. Their strategy means no disappointment/massive losses if a game "only" sells a few million like a Capcom or SE title, same with their hardware.

>>323519167
that is not what I implied at all.
Disney literally does the exact same thing.

It's really not Nintendo's problem. Ninty's been doing the same thing they've been doing from the beginning. It's everyone else like Steam and Gamestop that completely destroyed the value of video games. Yeah it's nice getting games for $5 six months after release. But it leads to developers making shitty yearly cash-in microtransaction dlc bullshit. Nintendo is just keepin' it real.
>>323505893
You can get them second hand on ebay or other sites like that for much cheaper, though. Hell, have you tried your local retailer or gaming/technology gatherings? I know I've seen used copies of Starfox 64 3D at like 350 Mexican pesos and 200 the cartridge without the box.
Saddly, Bayo is rare.

Literally pulled that out of your ass. They undr supply their games. Thats a given fact thats universally known. They retain their value due to this.
If otherwise, you give me a reason why they retain their value? Without resorting to
>Muh game quality
And give a genuine reason.
Nintendo have just as much money as other competitors, they certainley can produce just as many copies as them. Its not acceptable to reprint games after a year, thats when people forget about those games.
I dont get how people can even stick up for the digital argument for Nintendo, again, i dont want to pay £50 for a game, when I can get a retail copy for £40.
Yeah its the same on Xbox and PS4, but at least you can get hold of a physical copy without paying outrageous prices.
