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.
Yeah I'm not happy about the price increase, but game prices haven't been keeping up with inflation for decades. I think if this had happened more gradually over the last 30 years people wouldn't be as upset, but a $20-30 increase in less than 5 years is a shock to the system.
