It feels like the 3DS (Family) and the Wii U were the beginning of Nintendo's excessive greed. Their expensive games, DLC, the fucking $10 Streetpass "Games", the requirement of purchasing a charger for the new 3DS, etc. I'm not really sure if they've always been like this or if they have just learned from Activision and began charging and overcharging for everything.

Nintendo is the least of your worries when it comes to greed. Doesn't help that people have willingly bent over to video game companies since the mobile gaming/p2w/free2start trend started

>expensive games
What?
>>339757506
After nobody bought the Gamecube and they decided to sell out to normalfags with the Wii and DS.

>It's not Nintendo Sempai......
I wonder where the impression Nintendo was ever not a greedy company came from.
People thought the SNES was a ripoff because it couldn't play NES games
When will you realize that every company ever is like this?
Nintendo hasn't jewed me like Sony did this generation.
>Pay to play multiplayer
> $15 PS2 games when Xbox can emulate 360 games
>New console upgrade when people already paid 300/400
Fuck this shit

>It's ok when sony/microsft does it
>>339757506
amazingly, Nintendo (like all corporations) seeks to make profit, as much as possible.

>the requirement of purchasing a charger for the new 3DS
The DSi and the 3DS use the same charger, so if you're upgrading from that, you have a charger. It does suck that it doesn't ship with one, though.
>Expensive games
They're standard prices outside of special editions and Atlus games because what the fuck Atlus.
GBA was when I reached my tipping point. They didn't make it backlit until the SP, they allowed so much shovelware on that shit that everything from Scooby Doo to Raven Symone had 4(four!!) games on it, and they re-released nes games individually at almost the same price as other carts despite collections like Phantasy Star having 3 games in 1. The fucking GBA section was wall to wall ASS. It was like buffalo cum infused with wizard piss splattered all over the walls at Gamestop.
The DS was a bit better for less shovelware but the damage had been done and they allowed the same thing to happen to the Wii.

This on average their games are cheaper than most AAA shit only reason they don't drop in price is because they still sell.
