Nintendo Switch 2 games are $80 dollars

[parallax]

shyt SNES and Genesis games were pricey back in the day. I do not get this "games were cheaper back then" nonsense.

Non issue, a lot of N64 songs were over $100 at launch

the reason cartridge games back then were so expensive was that manufacturers were charging developers fees to print on carts. thats why cd based games were considerably cheaper. there is absolutely no reason for digital games to have such a high price point except for the fact that nintendo is gouging the shyt out of its consumers. and the sad part is people defending such a practice

You know you’ve lived too long when you’ve seen prices go from $70 to $50 to $60 to $70 to goddamn $80-$100.

Prices have always fluctuated

Those games have motherboards, capacitors and resistors. CD based games were $40£.

I think larger games will be fine and by large I mean established franchises, the others will even have a bigger hit or miss probability now.

80$ + 24% tariff tax

Prices have always fluctuated

Yall nikkas bring this up but wages did not have this much parity in comparison to consumer prices. Games went on sale and could be rented once they lost their shelf life.

Also, video game console pretty much don’t depreciate that much in value. GameStop selling ps4s and Xbox ones for $250+
