I don't play Nintendo hardware as I game on PC, but I paid more for games in the 90s. Street Fighter 2 was $80, and Pilotwings was $60. Adjusted for inflation, that's like $171.63 and $134.79, respectively. I'm not defending Nintendo, but for me, who's been gaming since the 80s, nothing has changed what has is prices for other shit and just more whiny people who have a voice on the internet.
Literally what I said in a different group. If games kept up with inflation like everything else for the last 30yrs (thank the gods they haven't!) games should be at least double what we pay now. You damn right I'm going to have some sticker shock, but I'm not going to complain bc a game from any game studio is 80$.
Complaining about an $80 game is just weird. People will spend hundreds to open loot boxes on phone games. Most micro transactions in Nintendo games are for cosmetics, so a one time $80 purchase gives you a complete game.
