Quote:This is what I'm hoping, and I know, but still, I was expecting them to be cheaper than 360/ps3 games.
I don't understand why, for all the reasons I said before... saying that less high-tech graphics means shorter dev times and much smaller budgets, or that Nintendo isn't going to keep making big, high-budget games despite all we know about their upcoming lineup is so utterly absurd...
Quote:No, I don't.
In '01. It stopped pretty early on, but some early third party GBA games were definitely $39.99... third parties love to jump on any chance they can get to overcharge. (this means that yes, there might be some $59.99 third party Wii games, even though there shouldn't be.)
Quote:I know, but Nintendo said their games would be $50.
They said that they would be $50 just like how they said that their GC games will be $50 or how their GBA/DS games are $30 -- games with lower budgets can come out at below that price of course...
Quote:Paco/ You're not making any sense to me. This is not a flame, I actually dont understand your viewpoint. We've been through enough arguments to understand that neither of us are blind or stupidly biased, so please take this as an actual conversation.
First, i'll post something from Kotoku that I thought really put perspective on everything:
Most people were expecting a price well under $250 though, for good reasons, so it's dissapointing, no matter how well Kotaku can try to explain it... but yes, Paco's criticisms are completely off base. GC+memory card+1 game at launch was $270, Wii+game = $300... with no good obvious reasons for the price hike...
