Cheapest ways to cop Nintendo games??

[BBG]

I wasn't prepared for this brehs, I thought I was gonna eat off cdkeys or gamivo


Breath of The Wild still $60 in 2025



I paid full price for Pokemon Scarlet, that's fine..... But the even OLDER Pokemon Shield still $60 in 2025



Like I knew Nintendo be on bullshyt but I'm standing here in Walmart as a grown ass man staring at these prices like what happened to the game(s) I used to love I remember Pokemon crystal cost like $30. I'm washed somebody help me.



They suckered me into getting GameStop pro rewards when I bought the switch maybe I would just buy used games... But even then you only save like $5 bucks as opposed to buying NEW wtf brehs BBG in distress

visit your local library

You know what's funny?
I had no idea this was actually a thing. My son had his school art work displayed in the library so we went to check it out.
We get there and I see a whole video game section with Switch, PS5, and Xbox games sitting right there for free check out.
They even had a whole video game area for kids to sit there in the library and play video games

I copped Dragons Dogma on the estore for $5



Game is like 12 years old though.



Is there really no budget friendly way to play Nintendo games? All the first party titles from like 2017 are still top dollar, this shyt is bananas.i remember when I bought my PS5 I was having a blast playing PS4 games for the low, I thought I would have a similar experience on Nintendo. They out here treating old ass Mario, DK and Metroid games like uncut dope

It’s a great way to get kids in there. Sometimes they’ll go beyond grabbing a video game and grab a book that catches their eye too

OP, your only options are sales like these that pop up (I totally recommend following Wario64) or buying used on eBay or Facebook marketplace.

I am one of the Nintendo fans/defenders on here, but the new-ish trend of never slashing their video game prices is definitely one of the worst practices we’ve seen from them. They were the ambassador of greatest hits/platinum hits pricing model

Facebook market place or Wario64

There are copies going for 40 on FB. Could prolly talk em down a few dollars.

If you are on switch one you can just mod it.

Nintendo games are always near full price. Especially for its big series like Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart & Smash Bros. You either buy them at full price, skip them, or emulate them.

Now the Switch, unlike previous generations of Nintendo, doesn't have Nintendo Selects. Which, in my opinion, shows how the company has actually become much greedier than they were before. This is to note they have always been greedy.
