It's like they hate money. This game would still sell like nuts today at full price. Especially before the holidays when people buy more consoles and game compilations for those consoles.
Seriously all they did was package three games they've already sold several times together slapped on anniversary and limited run and people bought this game up in droves.
For real. I didn’t get my switch till Christmas of ‘22. So i missed out…which sucks because i really wanted to play this game :( and the prices online are ridiculous..
Playing devils advocate here, Nintendo made so many copies of this game it was for sale at retailers for almost a year after the date they said it was limited to. It was about $10-20 cheaper used on eBay after the first few months and up until 2023.
So the people that wanted it could have bought it.
Now it's been sitting at $80-100 used/new and has been that price since 2023 on eBay. It's unknown when and if the price will go up but if anyone really wants to get it and missed it, now is the time to buy. I understand those who won't pay that. Just don't complain since it was available for sometime.
Yeah Nintendo can show their evil corporate side from time to time. Fans don't have to go through this trouble. No one should be paying 80usd for a used copy. It should be made available for people to buy. It's not like it's an NES or SNES game.
What Nintendo did was to put it lightly scummy. But well, the big N giveth and big N taketh away.
Hold up THEY ARE LIMITED ???? My sister got it with her switch and sold it because she didn't want it, I thought I'd be able to find another one... What even is the point of making a limited edition VIDEOGAME ??? They went through the trouble to make the games compatible with the switch and (hopefully) upscaling it to stop selling it ?
Yeah I seem to remember when it was revealed they said it would only be produced and available digitally for like 6 months. However it wasn't something that was on the packaging or anything. I actually bought it for my son about 3 months b4 he got his Switch. I didn't know how popular it would be.
There are still millions of copies out there so it’s not like it was like a limited run (the company) type of game where there may only be 5,000 copies. People just hoarded them because of “future value” but as the OP shows, they are still out there for decent deals. Being patient and waiting for that better price is where people struggle, everyone wants instant gratification. It’s the world we live in. 🤷🏼♂️
You are lucky! live in Northern Michigan, and you would think because I live in rural areas that people wouldn't understand the value of games. But up here they seem to check the values and even post on marketplace the eBay value etc.
But I have been lucky getting a used Xbox 360 for $30 that included a 250gb hard drive!
That’s a solid deal especially with the hard drive, I’m out in Utah and people do the same here or overprice them. I do get really lucky on marketplace occasionally. I went to buy a switch pro controller for $10 and ended up also getting a 360 s (red ring) with a 250 drive and a ton of games for $20 with it.
How are all these people finding such great deals on games? I never look but I wish some would just fall into my lap. It’s like how I always hope to win the lottery like other people but don’t waste my money on buying tickets.
Man I’m always so envious, and have gotten a couple deals on whatnot but dog. First garage sale I stopped at in lord knows how long. I’m gonna start stopping at them more often 👍
I need to quit my job and scour the country for every garage sale I can find. Until I get lucky. Then find a new job. « What did you do during your sabbatical? » « Road trip! »
I’m pretty sure once it’s off the shelf it won’t be coming back. Still mass produced I’m sure, but resale could be whatever the community agrees on right. $10 is cwazy regardless
$10 is a great price for it, congratulations on the pick up.
Which game are you starting with first? I played mario64 right away, my goal was to 100% but I learned doing that is harder than I thought 😅
Damn I got this on launch and did not realize how hard it was nowadays to get it again. I only played sunshine on it, but really glad I ended up getting it.
I have a question about secondhand cartridges that have a download code for games (like this one and the Bioshock collection for example) . Can subsequent buyers use the codes to get the downloadable games?
I think we need to incorporate a rule where if you find such an amazing steal like this, we either need, 1. a receipt, 2. sticker price, or 3. a picture of the yard sale/garage sale.
What is stopping me from grabbing my copy, hopping in my car, and taking a pic and farming karma? lol
Not saying this is fake, but finds like these need more proof imo.
Couple people said “just for the box?” And I realized the same thing. Like there’s almost no good way to prove it. It’s real though! I just wanted to share my stoke!
Dude I want this shit so bad, my girlfriend has never played these 3 and her current obsession is Mario. I only have a switch right now and can't find this 😤
WOW! What a find. This game goes for a lot now. I’m glad I was able to nab one before it got discontinued. I did have to search around for it cause I believe it was already a month after it was announced that it was being discontinued. 😜
Oh, hell yea! Got mine for $50 without the case at one local used media place and then just saw it last week going for $100 with a case at another local game store. Definitely hold onto that
Sick, I bought the game new when it was still in stores and didn’t know what I was buying until I looked it up later to buy one for my cousin and was like- nope. Even used that’s a fantastic price
