No other company retains value like Nintendo
Nacho3:
Nostalgia definitely plays a part in retro games like the example wiggy gave but that doesn't explain why new games stay full price for so long. Super Mario 3D World is still a $60 game and so is Mario Kart 8 and so many more Nintendo published games. But games like Rodeo and the countless Lego games are $20-$30. Hell, I even bought Halo 5 for $25 the other day. Nintendo reminds me of Disney, prices never lower and they stop selling them whenever they feel like it and people (including myself) keep giving them money.

I think part of it has to do with the fact that Nintendo games are exclusive to the Nintendo systems. Granted, you can get Halo 3 for 4.00 these days and the FF Lightning series is pretty cheap, but Nintendo games have a graceful charm that appeals to more people.

Sadly my love for Nintendo dissipated after the GameCube.

My love for Nintendo won't dissappear, just missing N64 and Wii U, but Nintendo will be always my favorite.
I agree with bender3455,

i don't think, i DO, therefore, i AM! ;D
it's true from a novice pov, but one only needs to look at why.
the customer base.
others are known for it, as i'm trying to fill some rpg/JRPG sockets in my shelf, namely the ps2 side.
not happening!
the games i seeks are stupid in co$t, and relatively rare in my area.
.hack series is one example. (i can't find even one retail chapter irl of the saga, let alone all of them.)
...
got lucky dodging most of the hype, did away with the like of e3 (and cohorts) for this reason.
hype, no substance, ALL cost.
yep, they have the masses by the balls, they KNOW how you like it.
pretty, wrapped up box of air.
thanks friends for working those retail places, undermining them for the good of the community you live in. :P
...
not just nintendo, seriously... ??? (adverts DON'T exist unless we pay attention to them. there lies the answer.)
