Nintendo charging full price for a remaster is equally lovely and good business. Yes, almost every other remaster + DLC that comes out costs at least $20 less than the original game, but people aren't lining up to play Sleeping Dogs again on a new platform the way they are for MK8. Especially for a console that is starved of games at the beginning of its life, if people are willing to pay $60 for it, then why not charge $60 for it? If they thought they could make more by selling it for less then they woulhahahaha it's Nintendo.

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:isn't this specifically what a remaster isn't when comparing remasters with remakes the crash bandicoot trilogy for ps4 which is replacing absolutely everything in the games in terms of assets but keeping the level layouts identical and bringing it all up to 4k is a remaster. remake vs remaster is a category however where yes, you could say trying to differentiate between the two may simply come down to semantics. however comparing that to a port absolutely isnt just "semantics".

Crafty posted:The benefit of Nintendo keeping their games at a high price is that you can resell them and actually get some money back. You get nearly 30% more cash for reselling Mario Kart 7 on DS than you do for Uncharted 4 (CEX), despite the 4+ year gap in release dates . I resell all my games because I'm not a collecting nerd, so this is better for me. I bought doom for £45 and have never actually got around to playing it, it's now worth £4. This is also a fair point, but it also serves to devalue games bought digitally, sometimes by like half I have a lot of digital 3ds games but I dunno, I think I'm only buying physical switch games because of that sweet, sweet bitter toddler coating

When considering how to price games, I could do a calculation involving things like install base and attach rate, the cost of developer time and license/production fees and royalties and stuff like that Or I could just say it's a port so let's go with X money because it makes stux feel vindicated I dunno

VideoGames posted:I bought a $50 eshop card through playasia. Even though it's $39.99 there is flipping sales tax that gets added on after the fact I'd be worried I'd get vouchers bought using stolen credit cards and get a knock on the door from the police. How bad are region restrictions for fellow UK folks, should I register my account to US when i get my console?

Stux posted:do you live in a world without online streaming services with literally thousands of on demand shows and films for $15 a month? or downloads for hardly anything? cheap digital rentals? and music is exactly the same with services like spotify and itunes. the price of getting movies, tv and music have all dropped dramatically outside of things like actually going to a cinema, and even that has an analog in games where you pay an inflated price if you want the game at release, but if you wait for sales (or, for movies, home releases/downloads etc) you get it far far cheaper. If you want any of that poo poo permanently you're gonna pay for it. And like I said the streaming deals are there because companies had to do it because people stopped buying their poo poo. People still buy video games. And like I said the revenue stream is different. Movies live and die at the box office. Tender Bender fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Apr 4, 2017 |

Playasia is a legitimate site, I've been using them since Phoenix Wright for the DS. I also used them to get eshop cards so I could buy puyo puyo tetris a month ago and no police yet.

Your main account should be your local region, because that's what you use to 'log-in' to games so you'll want that to be first. I've setup accounts for the US, Japan, and Mexico. Region free owns.  Honestly going to remove Mexico later because I only set it up for cheap Blaster Master that didn't end up happening.

It is. There's an open world but the main heft of the game is instanced levels that are like any other Lego game.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Developers want to sell their games for money. Since the Switch has like a very limited number of sold Switches, making a game for it is expensiver than doing a game for a computer since there are more computers. So you will need each Switch game to sell for more money for it to be worth it for the developer. The alternative would be to not make Switch games until there are enough Switches to make the moneys add up. Or for Nintendo to give money to the developer to make up for the less money they make. There's an easy solution. Just make the game $5 million (or whatever the development and marketing budgets were). That way you only need to sell one copy to be profitable.

Am I going to be able to buy the US version of Puyo Puyo Tetris once it's out if I already own the Japanese one? When I log into the Japanese store I notice that the US games I own are greyed out and marked as unavailable for purchase.
