        Really? Damn, i remember snes games only used to be like $30, tho i guess if you adjust for inflation then it's about the same. I guess I mainly meant when the PS used to sale the "certified classic" or whatever it was called for a game that was a few years old and the dropped the price under $20. They don't do that with the switch from what I've noticed but then again maybe it's because it's only like 3 years old. Idk

          Ok that changes things a bit yeah, "classics" and stuff like handheld games have always been around 30 or so.

          Also, nintendo specifically is infamous for rarely dropping their prices, because they're fully aware that everything they make is a permanent exclusive.

          AAA titles are actually cheaper now, if anything. Here's some Toys 'R' Us SNES and Genesis titles circa 1994; they were still $50-70 back in 1994 dollars.

      not nintendo games lmao - historically they are the worst when it comes to sales. I always regret being a lazy fuck and just buying the digital version of Switch games off the EShop when I realize that I've paid $60.00 for Mario Kart 8 - which came out 6 years ago - when I probably could've snagged a used switch copy at Gamestop for $30

      Edit: Actually lmao I completely forgot I bought Bravely Default on the fucking 3DS on Friday night and completely forgot I spent $45.40 on the purchase. Why is an 8 year old 3DS game still full price?? :gui-better: gamers rise up

      People pirate Switch games nowadays. I don't know how that works but it sounds good.

      Didn't nintendo console games always cost around 50-60? DS games were around 34 bucks iirc but even going back to NES, adjusted for inflation the games were 130ish dollars.

      I'm glad botw dropped price recently but nintendo is holding the price high on other old games for no reason. You can buy Spiderman for ps4 for 20 bucks but switch launch titles only just dropped to 45 dollars.

      What the Golf?

      There's literally a first person psuedo-VR section, using motion controls. And a SUPER HOT section. And a Katamari Damacy section. And a Portal section.
