More Player's Choice titles...
...although, considering that most of these are already hella budget priced, it seems kind of pointless.
http://www.nintendo.com/games/players_choice.jsp That makes the total list of $30* games a whopping eight games long.  Luigi's Mansion Spider-Man Pikmin Super Smash Bros. Melee Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire Resident Evil * Why not $20? Why?! $20 is the "what the hell, I'll buy it" price point for like 99% of the gaming population. $30, while only ten more, is still too much. |

That's Nintendo for ya! Don't get frustrated, I have long abandoned any hope/reasoning behind Nintendo's pricing/marketing tactics since the 8bit days (remember the silicon shortage back in the haydays of NES, I certainly do, took me forever to find a Contra cart, hardly rare).

I think it's ridiculous that games like Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, and James Bond: AUF are still hovering at $30. That's only $20 less than a brand-spanking new game. I would also like to see them drop to $20-$25.
And how much is Waverace: Bluestorm lately? I've been waiting to buy it but it rarely drops, which is strange for a system-launch game.

I love Nitendo, but $30 is stupid.
Luigi's Mansion, was $50 good deal Spider-Man, at $35 right now should be $20 Pikmin, was $50 good deal, but should be $20 Super Smash Bros. Melee, was $50 good deal Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, already at $30 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, $20 bucks at most places, going to $30?????? James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire, same here, $20 bucks, are they going to raise the price???? Resident Evil, already $30 at most places, $20 at Blockbuster. If they are going to add games for $30 put in Mario Party, it is 30 bucks at Blockbuster right now I just don't understand the big N sometimes, if your competion has two budget lines at $20 doesn't common sense say your budget line should be $20?? Triple HHH, I believe EB Games has Waverace: Blue Storm for $20 new |

Wasn't n64's player choice pricing about $40? I waited years for Mario Kart to hit $20 -- it never happened.
I'd buy some of the games if they hit $20, but otherwise I'm not that interested.

Well back then $40 bucks seemed cheap compared to $59.99, but then again I never really bought that many new N64 games.
Of course at least you knew the carts were expensive to make. What is the excuse with a disc based system. I still say the only reason the PSX did so much better were those $10 games. |

I wonder if Nintendo has lost their software appeal more because they refuse to price their games closer to impulse buy levels as opposed to the whole image issue. With some the changes we've seen recently, I hope by the end of the year they will have rethought their pricing on GC and GB games.

I waited a long time for Mario 64 to hit $20 so I could buy it again (long story) but it never did... Nintendo = Stupid.
Lot's of times I will say "oh hell" and buy a $20 game (Max Payne XBOX springs to mind)... never will I do that for a $30 game... |
