Just a heads up if you preorder any of those Nintendo Selects, it will ring up to ~16 on Amazon Prime with the preorder discount.

I put an order in for DKC tropical freeze and Pikmin 3, came out to about 35. Was gonna get Mario All-Stars but I already have all the og versions and don't wanna have to deal with a wiimote to play.
 
I've been waiting for more info for the new system to get my daughter but I think as much as I like the games Nintendo provides for the younger crowd, it might be time to move on and get her an XBOne. Nintendo is money hungry and doesn't seem to care about what the consumer really wants.

I was with you until the second half. If you think Nintendo is money hungry and doesn't give the consumer what they want, you're in for a rude awakening with XB1 or PS4...Nintendo is the only company that constantly listens to consumers and provides. Always innovating and are truly a company of gamers for gamers imo.

All that can can be said about m$ and $ony as well.

I don't believe nintendo's money hungry either, but when I look at nintendo prices in comparison to microsoft/sony.

The NX will hopefully be nintendo's time to shine. I'm def. not copping day one.

But I'm interested to see if nintendo "constantly listens to consumers and provides."

but they're outmatched right now.
 
I'm purchasing Best Buy's Gamers Club Unlocked solely to purchase Nintendo's games that never go on sale.
 
Why do people consistently knock Nintendo for having "expensive" games or or not providing value. What are ya'll drinking? This idea makes no sense, especially coming from a sneaker board where most of us here buy or spent hundreds of dollars on sneakers that rarely go on sale. Companies only discount products that don't sell. Nintendo provides a quality product, they sell really well. You get what you pay for. Simple as that.

Put it this way. Nintendo games are like AF1's and Timbs. They may sway in popularity a little as trends change, but they are a staple and consistently sell no matter what.

If you really think about it you get the MOST value from Nintendo games. Look at the after market for old NES or SNES games. The N64's games are becoming more and more expensive as time goes by.

Nintendo is probably one of the only gaming company who gives you real value day one.
You can actually buy your game day one and not have to worry about it being put in the bargain bin a few weeks later. A lot of other companies are pulling the flim flam and have ya'll buying half assed games for $60. Just look at the debacle that is Street Fighter V on the PS4... :x

So no, I don't think the games are overpriced. You get what you pay for and Nintendo still makes some of the best games in the business. And if you count for inflation, video games in general are a lot cheaper than they were 20 years ago. The price for your average game back in the 90's is still relatively the same price you pay today. $50-$60... Think about how much more we pay for a movie ticket or even a gallon of milk nowadays compared to back in the day. :lol:


/end rate :tongue:

Anyone cop TPHD??

Worth it??

Copped

Much more clear graphics (doesn't have too much of that "fog") and the controllers are way better than the Wii version. I only started though..then again I'm biased b/c I own every Zelda game.. Plus if you get it from GameStop you might be able to get the soundtrack if it's still in stock.

The wolf portion of Twilight Princess was a turn off for me. Still a good game though.
 
Don't forgot the Nintendo Selects drop today. My Best Buy only had two copies of Pikmin 3 left when I got there. It's probably a good idea to grab these reprints ASAP before they go OOP again.

Apparently the NX controller has leaked and this is it...

If this is to be believed, that means that the patent that Nintendo has of a free form controller is a real thing. The people who received this leak apparently ran the picture through a program that let's you see if an image has been photoshopped and the controller hasn't been photoshopped.

Idk how to feel about this controller tbh and this grainy picture isn't really helping, I'd have to see it in motion and see how the game play looks cause I imagine that the view of the games would obstructed when you play with it.

This is the patent picture for reference

This just makes me want E3 that much more to really see what's up and what the hell the NX really is lol

If that's real Nintendo dun goofed.

Agreed, as much as I love Nintendo and have been loving all of the patent leaks about it and whatnot, this one is one I'm nit fond of.
Ergonomically it looks horrible, reminds me of an NES controller as far as all of it being a flat surface and it seems like it'll have onscreen buttons which I hate.
Hopefully with all the rumors of it having a good amount of 3rd party support from Square and Namco, they'll have a regular controller like the pro controller cause that one is amazing.
