Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Star Fox 64 3D, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D are coming to the European and North American eShop. This was announced by Satoru Shibata, the president of Nintendo of Europe, and revealed in a North American press release.
In Europe, the four games are available right now for €44.99 each. In North America, they will be available for $39.99 each on October 18.
Pass at 40 dollars each. Maybe $30 for Mario Kart for me and the Remakes $20 maybe. I have 3D Land.
I fixed that for you. You should have went with the argument that is more recently released and had the early adopter tax :PPass at 40 dollars each. Maybe $30 for Mario Kart for me and the Remakes $20 maybe. I have 3D Land.
Yeah, same here. $40 for games you can pick up right now for $25-$35 Used is pretty steep for games that have already been out quite a while.
And before you bring up New Little King's Story, Ceric, that's a brand-new Remake of the game on Vita. :P: ;)
I would be outraged if I weren't certain that I'll end up buying 3D Land and 3D Kart again digitally at that price. And I'll be damn lucky if those are the only ones I re-buy. I have a real problem.Yes you do.
All 4 of those games are still $39.99 MSRP at retail, so why would anyone expect Nintendo to sell them for less online than for the retail copies? This is the same price you will pay in stores (minus when the store takes a loss and puts it on sale).The won't take a lost on being on sale at the current ones. Roughly speaking I would expect they get game for about $10 cheaper in this case considering the prices.
...Which is History is any indication will be almost never.
I would think that when Nintendo lowers the MSRP on the retail versions, the digital versions will get a price cut too.

A lot of people seem to overlook the fact that retailers sell the download codes too. In Japan they're sold on cards (and often priced higher than the physical copy). In America, you just tell the retailer you want it digitally, and they'll print your code out on the receipt and I think (though I could be wrong) they'll sell it for the same advertised price as the physical copy. Most people seem to be under the impression that it's only at GameStop, but I know it's also available at Target (if you ask) and it's apparently available at a lot more places that just don't advertise. So, if you see it for sale somewhere, ask if they sell it digitally and you might still be able to get it digitally for the discounted price.
Retail games are full price on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network too. You would not need to buy £10 credit to get the game, you can choose to pay the exact amount of the game.They also normally come part and parcel with the Retail version.

And on the ones that released at the same time I'm not really saying much.Retail games are full price on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network too.

So do Nintendo games now, this is just them releasing past releases too.
