    i said ubisoft but quality stuff by sony or microsoft (or any big studio) goes on sale too like a year after its released

    for nintendo, a 7 year old rerelease of an 11 year old game is full price! even at retail! and the used copies aren’t much cheaper!

    the only mario games on switch that go on sale are the mario + rabbids games, which are pretty good (definitely better than some 1st party nintendo stuff). the reason they go on sale, well, they’re published by ubisoft!

    nintendo doesn’t allow their games to go on sale. the only times it happens is either they felt like giving you a 5% discount, or the game is so shit it ends up in clearance bins

      This isn’t entirely true. I got Zelda TOTK for $40 on release. Kind of.

      I bought Costco Nintendo gift cards which saves you $20 (if I remember right) and then bought the combo pack deal which included TOTK. It came out to getting every game for $40 each. Of course, the physical copy is a whole different story.
