Nintendo's birthday rewards are a damn joke
- Thread starter Transistor
- Start date
I'd rather have nothing than be insulted by discounts on games for systems that people don't even play anymore.
It's like the birthday 'discount' I got from Best Buy that had so many exclusions that it would have been easier to list the items it *did* work on rather than the ones it didn't.
Be thankful for the ad that encourages you to spend money on their products.
Seriously this really feels like first world problems lol.
No other company does this at all, those are actually pretty good games listed too yet still complains about it. I find this pretty funny to be honest XD
Edit: I don't play Nintendo games, didn't notice at first there were no Switch titles. That's also pretty funny.

It's the same game either way, is it not? What a nonsense argument.
Yes, it's the same game, but in different formats. There are always differences in price between physical and digital games. Physical games go on sale or get discounted much more often. Digital games, not as much. Here they are giving you a sizable discount on digital games.
Which are inherently worth less.
I get it, you love Nintendo, but I'm not in the mood to listen to you try to justify this; you're not going to change my mind. The offer is a straight bad deal at best.
Pikmin 3 for $13.99 is a fucking STEAL.
I just wish I could get a discount on a game that doesn't typically see discounts like Fatal Frame or Devil's Third.

LMAOOOOOO. You couldn't even purchase a gamer pic with this IIRC.It's better than the 20 Microsoft Points Xbox used to send you.
Who cares
The problem with that logic is that this is a problem unique to Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft do drop the prices of their digital games much more often than Nintendo. So by that comparison, offering this as a birthday gift is a little silly, and people who bring up what "Sony and MS offers" is silly too given that people get a lot more value out of the digital library of these two than Nintendo.
I called you out on your bullshit. The post I responded to you were saying Nintendo offering a discount for your birthday was not better than what Sony or Microsoft offer for your bullshit. Yep, that's bullshit. Neither Sony nor Microsoft offer anything.
You may not like what they're offering, but it's absolutely better than what Microsoft or Sony offer
I think it's more opportunistic marketing than anything. OP should be upset because this is an advertisement masquerading as a goodwill gesture.

Yeaaa that's not what this discussion is about.
Everyone knows Nintendo doesn't give good deals. But they are the only ones that do something for your birthday. That is what this discussion is about.
