    Their games never drop in price, and they are priced higher than anyone else. Don’t buy this shit ever. If you really want, emulate it. That’s the closest you should get to it. (Even then, is there anything worth it? There are too many amazing PC games already. I don’t need to play the fairly generic stuff Nintendo makes.)

      Another option if you already own the console is the library. I was shocked at how niche some of the games they have are.

      A few titles actually went in clearance at Costco which is somewhat rare:

      Prices ending in 97 at that store indicate they wanted to get rid of the inventory to make room for other items, not sure the reasoning for it though, could be just newer games for the same system (since it also varies by location).

      Edit: Looks like Walmart had a similar sale ($35-$40) for even more titles including bananza, so something is definitely different when compared to previous Nintendo pricing deals with retailers.
