>there are still people who think Nintendo isn't anti-consumerist

Nintendo could sell a pile of shit and as long as it had the Nintendo brand logo on it their fans would buy it. They're just finally taking advantage of this.

The Japs will buy it.

The perfect gift for your wife's son's birthday desu

It's $5 dollars.

Is anyone here really that fucking bitter that they would complain about Nintendo selling artwork for cheap?

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you people?

But anon, posters (even small sized) are more expensive than the going rate for this nice, 3D poster of a box...

>The box is literally the same as a poster but holds a purpose of holding things, but /v/s autism won't allow this

Literally it's your perception of it being a 'box' that is something that isn't usually sold alone, you need to open your mind up and realize it's just a display piece.

It's for people who can't afford video games, like most of /v/

>>377711212
>Discuss.
It's for people who got a Switch at launch. Ordered the Splatoon joycons separately. And preordered Splatoon 2.
Yet feel like their collection is incomplete since they never actually bought the bundle.

Splatoon 2 is like the hottest game in Japan right now.

Put your game in it, then put it on the shelf with the rest of your amazing collection

you could up till now only get the box bundled with the switch. the people who give a fuck about this are glad this exist. everyone else stop being retarded about this please. this is a service really, it's not like Nintendo is making mad dough with this, the 5 bucks probably just about cover the shipping costs seeing how the pool of people willing to shell out for an empty box is pretty fucking small

I personally wouldn't buy the box. But if you bought everything in the Splatoon collection. Yet didn't get the box because it wasn't on sale yet.
Then I take it this is your chance to get it and complete your collection.

Why are people making such a huge deal out of it?
It's not for your average consumer. It's for the incomplete collector.

To complete their collection. I stated as much myself.
If the bundle had been available from the start, selling the box wouldn't have made much sense.

But this box/bundle is literally the last Splatoon 2 related thing to go up for order. And considering that almost all of Japan ordered Splatoon 2 the moment it went up for order, almost no one got the Splatoon box. Here is their chance.

I think you underestimate the amount of money it takes a company like nintendo to incorporate a new product into their item catalogue, even if it's nothing but an empty box that's already being printed for a different product. Contrasted with the infinitesimally small amount of people willing to pay money for empty boxes, the thought that this is an opportunity to make sizeable profit is silly, even if 5 bucks seems like a steep pricetag

It's a weird choice. Really. But it's probably to quell some fan backlash before people get upset at them for not making the bundle available sooner.

I mean. They're almost certainly losing money on making the boxes available for purchase.

The Switch units themselves are all the same, the Joycon are different colors. This is genius because there are huge Splatoon fans in Japan who will buy that box for $5 and the Joycon for $70 when they wouldn't have bought an entire new Switch for $260.

They're only selling this in Japan, as far as I know and Splatoon is ridiculously popular there. This is probably to prevent a situation where fans who already have a Switch to buy a second Switch, allowing people who do not already have one to obtain one.

>>377713581
They're also selling the physical game box in stores with a digital download code inside of the case instead of a cartridge along with the actual cartridge. I guess the japanese prefer digital, I dunno.

It also cost a lot more than $5 and was an actual collectors edition, Switch bundles only have the colored Joycon you can buy separately. If you already own a Switch you can buy the Splatoon 2 Joycon on their own and have effectively the same thing for a couple hundred bucks less.

I work at a retro games store and there's a few golden rules we go by. One of which is, "if it says 'Nintendo' then it's worth money."

Nintendo collectors are some of the easiest to make money off of. They're willing to pay $2 more for an NES sleeve because it says "Nintendo" instead of being plain black.

Explain them how buying a Collector's Edition for more than $200 with a COLLECTOR'S BOX with special art on it is somehow better than and not the same as paying 5 bucks, five measly US dollars, for a box with art on it.
You pay 200 for the box and other shit.
The box itself is probably worth around 5 bucks by itself.
I pay 5 for the box.

No, I messed up the wording there. There's two editions. One that includes a cartridge and one that includes a digital download code. Buying one does not give both. Like I said in the last post, japs are crazy for splatoon that they'll probably want the box but will want to keep the game in digital form so it is available to play at any time.

You wouldn't even consider spending $5 to complete it with the box?

Sony bronies in a nutshell.
Enjoy your worthless plastic crap that will sell for 5 dollars max in a few years.
Or did you honestly think something that was mass produced has any rarity?
If so you're even dumber than I thought.

Would it not make more sense to sell the pink and green joycons with the box? That way people who already have a switch can now have the splatoon switch and a fucking box.

It cost $90 plus tax and came with the game (worth $60) plus an artbook, a CD of the soundtrack, a stylish school bag, and a cute little plushy all packaged in a beautifully designed collector's box, which amounts to probably more than $45, which would've made it, more than $105 plus tax, but they sold it at a bargain of $90.

Meanwhile, you're paying for an empty fucking box that looks like shit.

I thought the purpose of displaying the box was to show that you bought that product though.

If I saw someone with a bunch of the boxes for limited edition consoles, I would assume they also own that console.

It seems silly to just want the box for display purposes alongside other boxes without actually owning the limited edition hardware.

But shitposters are desperate to turn it into something they can shitpost about.

Are you really the type of person who buys collectibles yet throws away the boxes?

They could always dish out a few hundred of dollars and buy a whole system bundle. And I am sure people would have if they couldn't get the boxes.

Why would a collector care about an empty box? Collectors care about collecting things that have value. There's nothing valuable or collectible about a shitty looking empty box. There's a difference between a collector and a hoarder.

>>377719536
If you care about a alternative cover. Why wouldn't you care about the box?

>>377719536
Because for the fourth or so time, you can get the contents of the box entirely separately.

>There's nothing valuable or collectible about a shitty looking plastic figurine.

Because the box is a collectable too maybe?
When was the last time you bought a special edition thing and the box wasn't a variant to match?

>>377719519
Wait.... so I would have to buy another Switch (at least $350) to get the box instead of buying just the box for five bucks? How is that any better?

>>377719536
I don't think anyone wants just a single box, but the boxes of special edition consoles could be a neat collection if that's your thing. Collectors collect all sorts of shit, value isn't a concern in a lot of cases.

THEY'RE FUCKING SELLING YOU EMPTY BOXES INSTEAD OF GAMES

STOP TAKING IT IN THE ASS YOU FUCKS

>>377722350
>Microsoft/Xbox is almost never brought up.
Why would they?
Hell Xbots get more hate from Sonygros than Nintendolts and PC fats to the point where they're a rarity on the board.

>>377722638
what?

>buying an empty box is okay
>but buying a video game console made by sony or nintendo is not okay

>>377722726
I still don't get it.
It's 5 bucks, they aren't selling it for a price that would fool someone.
It doesn't take away from games to also sell empty boxes to collectors.

>>377722726
I didn't realize Nintendo stopped selling games.

>>377722726
>they're fucking selling you
no, they're not selling me anything. I'm not forced to buy this. If I had a dedicated game room that I really card about memorabilia/decoration for and I was also a big Splatoon fan, I might want the box for a display in my game room. Since I'm not, it literally doesn't affect me at all.

>>377723059
they are selling more accessories and peripherals than video games.

That's called autism. Splatoon isnt even a good game.

Honestly, it's less about Nintendo selling a box but more about the fact that there are people willing to buy a box from them, and Nintendo knows it.

I seriously hope none of you are autistic enough to put your boxes on display

>>377722541
We would be angry if we bought this expecting to get a Switch along with a copy of Splatoon 2 and instead got an empty box. So no, we're not angry since we aren't buying the box.
And apathy? Do a ctrl+f for "Sony" and look at how many times it pops up. Nintenbabbies are on full fledged damage control.

>>377722607
>It isn't. It's discussion.
"Discussion" purposely designed to instigate a flamewar between Sony and Nintendo fans.
If they wanted to have a simple discussion there would be no need to to mention the PS3 or make a comparison in the OP of all things.

I mean did you honestly believe that a comparison between what looks like a prerendered cutscene and an in game one was used for legitimate discussion? Not to mention the wording used.

>Happens constantly
Exactly, and if you hadn't noticed reposts get deleted whenever they're seen by the mods unless the thread is on the verge of or has started auto saging and if you had been on /v/ during the time you would have known how frequent comparison threads like that appeared.

PC master race here.


I honestly don't see why this is a problem. I would love to be able to buy replacements for some of my old damaged boxes.

>>377723182
thats because sony consoles are meh

>>377723321
>we're not angry, we're confused
ok

some people like to have boxes as part of displays in their house

you're not confused anymore, right?

>>377723321
>So no, we're not angry since we aren't buying the box.
Then why do you care?
It's a box.
It's not doing you or anyone any harm.

>>377723059
>implying the Switch has games

>itt: poor Sony cuckonis
Enjoy you're no box, sony pooponies.
I'll be enjoying my Superior Box.

Damage control for what?
Most mentions of Sony in this thread aren't even directly related to the topic at hand

Kill yourself, triggered autist Nintendicksucker

>>377723592
They're /obviously/ taking money away from developing games to develop boxes now.
That's how it works, right?

>>377723764
That's not even anon's point, though.
People already buy boxes, they just have do it through scalpers on eBay for inflated prices. This proves there's a market for it and that it makes sense for Nintendo to sell the boxes. It helps collectors and Nintendo alike for people to be able to buy just the box officially and the only ones it harms (aka the only ones who should be angry about this) are scalpers.

Do you honestly expect them to understand the point of this?
Every little thing about Nintendo, Microsoft or Steam they will blow out of proportion with the big stuff from any of the four just floating on by.

>>377711779
Anyone shitposting about this is an autistic console warrior sony fanboy who hates everything Nintendo in the most irrational way possible.
Don't bother questioning it.

>>377719174
>. And it's a great relief to collectors.

Why the fucking hell should the average customer give a fuck about collectors? If anything you people are ruining what you collect by driving up the price.

You are genuinely the first sign of cancer in an industry, a collector

>>377724669
>Why the fucking hell should the average customer give a fuck about collectors?
You're right, why DO you care?
Collectors don't harm anyone in the slightest.

The point is that the fucking pro controller is more expensive than the ds4 despite not having a touchpad. How low is your reading comprehension skill to not understand that?

I have some Amiibo boxes for you guys, 10 dollars a pop. I have bowser and toad boxes, mint condition, used a knife to open them and then re sealed the back.

Good deal.

>>377724792
The touchpad being like 80s-90s tech.

Is this /v/'s "two scoops"? People on here are as obsessed with what Nintendo does as CNN is with Trump. They did a dumb thing, who fucking cares this much?
