S/V is not an in-house Nintendo game, GF and TPC run that clown show and I’d argue Nintendo often spaces itself from Pokemon. Zelda at $70. Mario Kart is absolutely a marquee title that is probably the 3rd most effort game Nintendo makes behind Mario and Zelda. Good reason it’s more than DK - ThreadSky

You kinda seem to be ignoring my point for some reason entirely and just deflecting. Nintendo has more than enough money to make better quality games, make MORE of them, and charge LESS for them without making any sort of dent to their giant pile of money.

Nintendo is still a giant corporation, just because they are Nintendo doesn't mean they suddenly like you or care about you. Nintendo has been involved with as much shit as any other large corporation and they do the same shit as the rest of them too.

I agree, but it’s important to not that making games isnt as simple as throwing money at it, it takes time and talent as well, the two big switch 2 games (Mario kart and DK) seem to have been in development for a while

On the topic of price I completely agree I highly doubt 80 dollar games are necessary for them to stay afloat

If your point is most first party Nintendo games don’t deserve to be priced at $60, you’re just wrong. Your argument sounds like “Nintendo should operate at a loss because they already have earned so much money” and that is insane to me. I’m not ignoring your point, it’s just a bad point.

Thats not my point at all, and that's why I'm saying you're ignoring it. I never said Nintendo should operate at a loss and you put those words into my mouth yourself. I said that Nintendo is more than capable of not raising prices of their games while still continuing to make a profit

And saying that without knowing their overhead is baseless speculation.

All of their financials are available for you to look at, i suggest you do so.

billthefajita.bsky.social•1 day ago

I literally explained to you why AAA titles cost more money aka financials. The market rate was set at $60 for like 10-15 years. No game company will ever lower the price of their games given the market. Nintendo isn’t a charity and people don’t deserve games for simply existing.
