They don’t go on sale because Nintendo games are not disposable like n-th instalment of Call of Duty or NFL.
They sell gameplay and not graphics and that’s timeless. If it was worthless people wouldn’t be so angry with them for going after emulators. There are also no games over $80 announced and this time digital copies are cheaper while still shareable (although no reselling).
don't make up nonsense to justify their anti-consumer practices. their games aren't magic made from gold.
its software. just like every other game. and I can think of a thousand games off the top of my head with amazing "gameplay and graphics that's timeless."
none of which are 70 dollars or more.
stop defending this shit.
Ok, then don’t play them. Why are commenting on this again? This is some autistic „stop liking things I don’t like” shit, grow up.
Nintendo makes unique hardware and games. It’s a consequence of philosophy that drives this company. There are good and bad things about it but explaining things as they are is not their defence. I’m not defending it because at the root of things all of this is consequence of capitalism and getting angry over this would be like getting angry over rain. My way of dealing with this is joining a socialist party and contributing to my surrounding environment, not ragging about Nintendo, who despite their faults are one of a kind.
Nintendo used to make unique hardware. The Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS and even the Virtual Boy innovated and brought something to the table that nobody else was offering. Even the Switch's erasure of the handheld/console divide was unique. This Switch 2, though? It's a Switch on steroids. This is the same uncreative shit that Sony and Microsoft have been doing, just an iteration on their previous offering.
Nintendo's innovations have purchased it a lot of good will from consumers. When the innovations stop, expect the good will to follow suit. That's only natural.
