It's about time. Nintendo has a habit of selling their games at full price years after their release.

Just a few months ago I saw Super Mario 64 DS & Mario Kart DS still being sold new for full price at certain retailers.

Their exclusives always hold value.. Im actually surprised they're releasing these at this price..

PhoenixUp2972d ago

That doesn't mean they should continue to be sold at full price, that's just absurd. Games with higher production values drop in price faster than Nintenfo games typically do.

rjason122972d ago

That's because a lot of those games do not have much replay value, or are annual franchises. The reason why most Nintendo games stay full price is because they only typically release one main smash bros, Zelda, Mario kart, etc.

PhoenixUp2972d ago

That's a very biased assumption to make. I can name plenty of games with high replayability that aren't being sold at full price.

Nintendo keeps the price high to make as much profit they can, plain and simple.

Sly-Lupin2972d ago

Lots of misunderstanding in the comments here.

Nintendo games tend to hold their value for years longer than other games... not because Nintendo is being stubborn and clinging to their habits, or trying to rip off consumers... it's because Nintendo games tend to sell well CONSISTENTLY.

Most big AAA games? They get most of their sales in the first week of release. After that, it's a trickle. Publishers like Ubisoft *have* to keep lowering the prices of their Assassin Creeds and what-have-you in order to get more people to buy their games as they age. But Nintendo games? They don't have that problem. Their software tends to enjoy strong sales for the whole lifetimes of their products.

What I've always liked about Nintendo games is no fear of the price dropping a month after launch. It really sucks when you pay $60 for a game at launch and then a month later it's $30 or even $20.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64130d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga130d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic129d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits130d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake129d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

babadivad129d ago (Edited 129d ago )

It isn't...
