![]() To price them at RRP months, and in some cases more than a year, after they were released at retail seems crazy to me. I don't agree with it, but I can at least understand why in those instances in which Nintendo are releasing their games simulataneously at retail and on the eShop, they would price them at full RRP (although ideally the price would eventually drop). Once again Nintendo fail to appreciate the benefits of downloadable versions of their retail game. Imagine a Nintendo version of PS+, eh? Actually don't, it hurts. Ah Nintendo, great games - blinkered approach to online. dreadful compared to itunes, steam, PSN and XBLA. I guess if you haven't already got Pullblox AND you have credit in your account it gives you a whole pound towards something else - hardly exciting is it? I know it means that you get your game for one hundred pence less than normal, but I am not even slightly tempted to put £10 credit on the eshop just to save one pound. I want NOE go the whole hog and sell Steel Diver for £50, I reckon they'd make more profit out of 1 idiot buying it at that price then the number of people who'd download it for £20 or similar.Īlso, knocking £1 off of Pullblox is (like the previous European eshop sale) not much of a purchase incentive. And I've had more entertainment from FTP iOS games then Pilot Wings Resort (literally). I love Star Fox, but even I waited for it to get reduced at retail (although not by Nintendo) before I picked it up. It's to painful to remain sympathetic.Īnybody who pays £40 for Starfox or Pilot Wings just to have it always on the 3DS memory stick is taking fandom to a very dark and dishonorable place indeed. These latest eshop announcements are like watching your uncle turn up to a night club dressed in what he thinks the kids are into these days and hitting the dance floor to throw some shapes. ![]() It was less embarrassing and it stopped me getting my hopes up. I actually preferred it when Nintendo didn't really do online stuff other then Virtual Console, when they still seemed quaintly behind the times.
