I guess overpaying for software is like a badge of honor for some folks. I understand not complaining about it, but why actively wish for Nintendo games to stay high in price?

Slayven: "Let me double dip on switch surely the games are cheap". Nintendo:"LOL nope"

I only buy exclusives for the Switch, and that includes digital games. If the game is on PS or Xbox, then i get it there instead.
The price is one reason
Lack of Trophies/achievements another

I'm talking about Valve here because Valve set the price for all the games on their store, didn't you get the memo? 🧐🧐
It ain't worth it unless you are dying to play them on the go.
Plenty of physical copies of Switch games are out of print a year or so later and don't get a second run. Where I am, even stuff like Skyrim or Ultimate Alliance 3 can go for more second-hand now then they did at launch.
On the plus side I've got 3 or 4 Switch games that didn't click with me that I'll likely get back what I paid for them when I sell them on.
Nintendo game keep their Value long after its not a bad thing it just means ppl dont see the game they get as trash that need to be traded in for pennies
Is the whole Switch catalog not available digitally? Not like I saw many first party sales there...
Yeah i bought hades a couple of months ago and before that i think hollow knight, Nintendo can't control the pricing of the 3rd party games but i can't remember the last Nintendo game i bought since i have a wii u and most of the games their porting to the switch.
I'm actually very disappointed with the way they price their games, i get it most of them are worth it but if u don't have a high income job then u can't be part of the Nintendo community.

Switch premium is probably a large reason I never really got into my switch. When I can have a superior experience, cheaper on another platform.
I am asking my friend to lend me his Switch games like I am back in elementary playing Nintendo. These days it's tough for me to fork over that 60 bucks. I can't justify it.
That's not true if you resell your games. Since they hold value you don't lose a lot with each transaction.
Saving money with extra steps and one ends without the game anyway.
As for the exclusives not found in other systems, I simply prefer to keep all my Nintendo games.
Wow surely a misinformed attempt at complaining about Nintendo pricing strategy when the OP is talking about a literal third party game priced by a company that is not Nintendo will be rectified and the thread won't dissolve into yet another conversation of people complaining about first party titles.
No? Okay so we're rolling with this? Even though there was clear proof that other platforms were the same price when not on sale? Alright. Have a nice day.

Fucking all of this. For a company who prides themselves on being a family company the fact that game prices don't go down in price is bullshit. Who cares what you paid for it you paid for the price of entry day one. Why do people care if the game is god forbid 30 bucks or less 2 years later so that more people can afford it and be able to play those games."Before you reply to me about corporations or making money I'm going to let you know I don't give a fuck about nintendo or any corporation making money or retaining perceived value for their products. So any nintendo or sony or microsoft fanboys don't reply to me with that bullshit.
When it´s deserved, sure fire away. But Nintendo doesn´t set prices for third parties.
NIS determines the price, this is like complaining about the prices of Activision games and blaming it on Sony/Microsoft/Steam/Epic.
Same. I wanted to play the new Modern Warfare but it's still full price
I am with you. I want to pay a FAIR price to own a four year old game in the year 2021. I don't want to run an ebay business to justify buying first party games and then recoup my money.
OP is misguided, but I feel that pain too. I also wanted to give the Disgaea series another shot, but not at that price for old ass games.
"Why did Sony price Outer Worlds on PS4 for 60 dollars."
See that's what that sounds like.
You can insult me, my friends, and my family but don't you goddamn dare insult Nintendo!!!!
It's clear you have no idea what anti-consumer means.
Furthermore, they can set pricing however they want. They have their own business model. What's disgusting is you acting entitled and thinking that Nintendo should change their pricing model to Sony/MS/PC just because of your wishes.
There are plenty of valid criticisms of Nintendo. The price of a product that another company published isn't one of them.
Dear lord. Did you actually read the responses here, or did you just copypaste a disingenuous statement?
Some people love carrying the water for corporations. I'm sure Nintendo loves it as well.
No one is owed anything. It's not disgusting to wish pricing was better. Hell it's even ok to complain as long as you don't take it to ridiculous lengths.
Sony game prices are RIDICULOUS. £70 for one new PS5 game or any two Nintendo games of your choice for £84.
Like if the thing you guys are gonna focus on when it comes to "Nintendo defenders" is "they clarified that Nintendo isn't in charge of the prices you're specifically complaining about." and turn that into "WE LOVE TO DEFEND NINTENDO'S JANK PRICING" well then ask Epic why the fuck all the kingdom hearts games are full price.
I understand criticizing Nintendo for keeping high prices on their own games, but not only are they not responsible for third parties, but besides a couple notable exceptions, third parties on Switch usually have comparable sales to other platforms, especially other consoles.
I don't disagree. But if I wait 3 years it will be 20 bucks. I am ok with that.
What is unfair about BoTW or Mario Odyssey being priced at MSRP?
The situation with 3rd party is certainly not the same. It's still more expensive on average I believe.

I kinda want to see stats on this that aren't just people bringing out the Doom or Witcher 3 comparison, honestly. Because in my experience this hasn't really been the case, but maybe that's just the kind of third parties that I buy.
