Seriously, Does anyone else's games retain value like first party Nintendo titles? I mean, even games like PokePark on the Wii are still around $30. Wii U games haven't hardly dropped at all, and everything Gamecube and earlier are only going up. I'm exclusively a Nintendo collector, but is there any other library that has this much staying power? I'm not talking about rare titles like M.U.S.H.A. or Hyperstone Heist. But maybe that's just a testament to how strong Nintendo's first party lineups are. Thoughts? |

Nintendo rarely drops their prices. Unlike most developers who drop their prices after 4 months from $60 to $40 and than within a year later drop their price to $20; Nintendo doesn't. It takes Nintendo 3 years to drop their prices. Or, they just let their products sell out and never do another print. |

They literally gave that game away with every console for years, yet it keeps going up in value, along with virtually EVERY 1st party Nintendo title, including the shitty-as-hell Virtual Boy library. They used the drop the prices of their games after about a year or two. Still, doesn't matter it would seem. |

Nostalgia and the Name are major contributors to the value saying high. You've played multiple Pokemon and Mario games in your past and had an enjoyable experience. Now that you are an adult you want to enjoy those experiences again ... and so does everyone else. The supply doesn't get any greater but the demand does. People also trust the brand name of those titles and continue to buy. Cycle, repeat |
