      It’s 70 and 80 tho?

      And as an old, even with this price increase games are cheap, especially with how much time you get out of them.

      I remember when Mario 3 was 50$ in 1990.

      That’s a 120$ today I think.

      Mario 3 was way easier to make.

        What a shit excuse of an argument.

        Nintendo has BILLIONS all these corpos have billions they can keep the $60 price tag.

        But they don’t cause they want MORE while still paying workers shit.

        Maybe YOUR paycheck has keep up with inflation but mine and millions of others sure as fuck hasn’t.

        Either way shits getting modded so I’ll play for free. The switch 1 is the final console for me.

          My point is the prices are down even with the increase.

          Nintendo, unlike Xbox and Playstation, is also one of the few where if things go poorly the management takes pay cuts rather than cutting jobs, and takes risks that justify those reserves if things go really poorly (like the Wii U or GameCube).

          And just as an example of how much lower the price of video games has come:

          If you want to pirate because you can’t afford it go ahead - with how shitty things are in the world, especially the USA, I’m not against it. Heck, if you need a pristine 1st generation Switch (the one that’s super easy to hack without hardware modification) I’d be glad to sell you mine. I use my PC for modded gameplay anyway.

          All I’m saying is the cheap game gravy train could only go on for so long, especially with ever increasing development costs. Nintendo has in part managed to keep those costs down because they’ve kept things at 1080p / 30 (or 24)fps for so long.

          End of the day, your paycheck not keeping up with inflation is your country’s fault, not Nintendo’s. If you live in the USA, you’re definitely angry at the wrong people, since Japan isn’t the one doing tariffs and eroding your worker laws.

          Nintendo is one of the last game companies that actually release a finished product that’s not filled with micro transactions and your mad that they add an extra $20 to the price of something you will likely put hundreds of hours in as prices of everything have increased. Would you rather they release it for $60 but you have to pay an extra $5 for each character/vehicle/map like all the American companies are doing it

      At least this game may be worth it if it’s $/h.
      Nintendos game might be <40hours long of pure campaign (excluding open world games like pokemon)

        That’s encouraging prices to sky rocket.

        Holy shit yall truly boot lick so hard.

        10000% GTA6 will be $100 if Rockstar reads any of these posts.

        Setting a bad precedent.

        I don’t want that kind of pricing to be encouraging because if we’re paying per hour of campaign then Civ would be $6K and even something like Kingdom Come Deliverance would be $400

        I don’t have that kind of money.

          You can’t compare open end games like Minecraft and Civ with a mainly story based game like GTA.
          What you do after the campaign is your issue.
          I just say that it’s understandable if you compare it to traditional media.

          I will maybe buy it once it’s on sale.
          No way in hell will I buy it for full price lol.

          And the price creep will come because you and me are a very quiet minority in comparison to the casual games that buy a nee console solely to play the newest GTA or CoD.

            That’s why I didn’t pick Minecraft, Civ has a story mode and KCD is all about its story, just like GTA.

              Didnt even know Civ had a story. Only played Civ6 and didnt really bother looking to hard as I just expected a turn based strategy game.
