@gtxforza: That's why I always think its weird when people try to dog Nintendo on this.

Like yeah, I get how frustrating it is that Nintendo doesn't make these games cheaper, but they do it because they can: people will pay for it. It's been proven again and again that Nintendo doesn't need to compete with agressive pricing because they're the only ones on the block that gives people what they want. See: Why Mario Kart can still print money after all these years. Therefore they control the pricing. There's nothing evil about it, it's just supply and demand.

Yep, Nintendo's published games are always like that in terms of pricing, but when a generation is over, their old games' price will raise up, making them more like collectible items.

For example, the GameCube game called F-Zero GX, its a legendary arcade-style futuristic racer that has aged so well by having awesome gameplay, good control response, an amazing roster of playable machines, courses & characters plus the soundtrack is so good.

Mario Kart is designed for any kind of gamers to pick up and play (Not requiring to love cars and driving games) by judging its target audiences that range from two genders and all ages.
