Just here reporting deals to the community and not making dreams come true 🤷
Mario Kart 8 technically came out in 2014 but it ended up being the number 1 sold Switch game at $60. Nintendo really has no incentive to lower the price, their games still sell like crazy.
Long live the "$19.99 Greatest Hits" era.

Oh because I'm not part of the Nintendo outrage club I'm a representative?
I'm asking an actual question about the definition of price gouging. Since when is it a rule that games have to become cheaper? Publishers will drop prices as demand decreases. Sometimes they won't bother. Them not doing so isn't price gouging though. The age thing is also a weird argument to me. Do I enjoy the game less because its older? Likely not. Is there a newer version? Then I won't buy the old one at full price.
I get that people think they should drop in price, but if they aren't willing to do so, then just don't buy them? Don't make stuff up though to justify your anger though.
As a consumer, support who you want. Getting angry at companies who owe you nothing is ridiculous and a waste of time.
DEAD @ you thinking I'm "outraged" about Nintendo price gouging customers. Any business can charge what they desire for their goods but I'm not going to be willfully naive when a billion dollar company keeps reselling the same games they made 10-20 years ago on new systems with no drop in price. It's price gouging and a lack of creativity but that's just my take on it. I'm not a Nintendo fanboy so I don't have rose colored glasses on when it comes to Nintendo but carry on. This conversation is amusing to me.

Oh there's definitely a Nintendo outrage club and you are a certified card carrying member. You guys show up EVERY TIME there's any deals on 1st party games. And for what reason? To tell the rest of us that you're not giving Nintendo money?
I'll tell you a little secret, buddy... NOBODY CARES! You aren't anyone special and nobody knows you. We don't care about your non-opinion. It's one thing to share your opinions about the quality/substance of the games, but it's another to completely derail the post with your guys' constant complaining about Nintendo and their practices. We don't care. Keep it to yourself and move on.

Oh my, I didn't know I was a part of the "Nintendo Outrage Club". That's a new one since I've never heard of such nonsense. Does this cabal of Nintendo haters go around harassing pre-pubescent deranged adult fan boys? Have they bothered you beloved? lol
DEAD @ you saying "NOBODY CARES" but responding like you care. Hey buddy, Nintendo isn't going to give a gold star for defending their practices. It's ok that others have a different opinion. You could always just scroll past a post you don't like but you seem to be in full fanboy mode.

The only reason I even respond is because these post ALWAYS get derailed by people like you. I don't care about your non-opinions and honestly I don't even read past the first sentence most of the time. But it bothers me when other people come in here asking for opinions about the games and they have to scroll past giant walls of text from you crybabies.
You don't have a "different opinion" than I do, your "opinion" is a complete tangent to this deal and doesn't belong here because it has nothing to do with the deal or the content of the games within that deal. If you have a problem with the way Nintendo prices their games, take it up with Nintendo but they are not gonna see your incessant complaining on an unrelated deals website. And nobody looking through this website cares about the "moral crusade" you clearly think you're on and feel the need to tell the rest of us about.

I didn't know a gaming company could get somebody this worked up but you seem pressed beloved. It's really not that deep. lol
You're the one who went on this illogical rant about me posting in regards to Nintendo's pricing. If you didn't care you would've scrolled past my post like everyone else and moved on with your life. However, you're in here acting like you're on Nintendo's payroll. I really don't care what you think I should comment on or post. And nobody is derailing this thread but you. lol

Clearly you haven't been reading any of my posts either because if you did you would have seen that at no point did I defend Nintendo. My problem is with you derailing the post. I'm defending SlickDeals as a source for information. You're too wrapped up in your crusade against Nintendo to see that there are more sides than just Nintendo fanboys and Nintendo haters.
Let me just say it one more time so it gets through your thick skull, I don't care about your opinions about Nintendo as a company. In fact, they're somewhat valid yet ultimately there's nothing we can do about it. I only care that you and a dozen of other people always come into these posts on SlickDeals and make it difficult for people to find valid opinions about the deals themselves.

You're definitely in defense mode because all this energy you're giving over someone commenting in a thread is hilarious. I guess you can mask your defense of Nintendo by claiming you're "defending Slickdeals" which is funny also. Anyways, you're cluttering up the thread arguing about someone's opinion you "don't care about" so I'll end it here since you're soooooooo concerned about Slickdeal user.
No one mentioned the bright side here. Nintendo 1st party games staying at fairly stable prices means that you can resell your cartridges later and recoup most of your money.
Go and have wonderful experiences like Breath of the Wild then sell it to someone else so they can enjoy it too.
Also the switch is one of the best ways to play great indie games like hades. The steam deck is nice but a switch is a lot more portable.

Have a nice day beloved!!
Mario, Jordan's, Apple. Stupid companies sell so well they never freaking discount and when they do, it's one of those "on sale" from $40 to $39.99.
Go and have wonderful experiences like Breath of the Wild then sell it to someone else so they can enjoy it too.
