Ah yes, Nintendo "sales". They are always sh1t. Their games rarely go on sale below $40. $40 is NOT a sale price to me. A few rare times I've seen Switch games hit $30, and back in the Wii U days there were "Nintendo Selects" which were games that sold a certain amount, so Nintendo dropped their prices to about $25. I appreciated that. But otherwise, naaaaw, Nintendo prefers to sell you even old games at too-high prices. Nothing like I am used to on PC, where within 6 months to a year you can see prices fall drastically on games due to sales. I've seen PC games go on sale for 50% off or more just a few months after release. And I've seen full-price games go on sale for as little as $5 a year later. My sweet spot for buying games is between $5 and $20. Shiat, even on the other consoles you can find good sales prices. Almost every PS4 game I have I paid $10 for or less, and those are for brand-new copies, and most of those are physical copies. I've seen a lot of PS5 games already drop to $30 or $20 within just a couple years (which is one reason why I refuse to pay full price for PC ports of those games). So f*ck you Nintendo. Get with the program or continue to wonder why people are grabbing community demos of your games, and playing them on PC via emulation and getting a far superior experience.
