Nintendo Is Selling An Empty Splatoon 2 Box

Thanks Doc.

Just don't buy it, and laugh at those who do.

Who cares?

It will be in prime place on my mantelpiece at home. Some people like to display photos of their family or art, I like to display my favorite video game characters and consoles.

remember when people said nintendobabbies would buy an empty box if it had mario on

i just dont get why, if it was just the box for the game, sure I'd understand it. Buy digital, but still have a box for the shelf. This? Just makes no sense to me. Unless you like collecting console boxes.

>>377813348
Ebay box-only sellers BTFO!

It's the capitalistic dream: selling empty boxes for profit.

What's wrong with it? Most people buy collectors items and have the box sitting around. Why not make it cheaper for those people?

>>377813348
it's five burgers, no one's ever died from five burgers

>>377814175
You can buy the box with a digital code actually

Also it's japan onry so OP's just being a faggot

>>377815805
yeah, heard about that. mildly interested as I was planning to buy digital.

nice autism goy

>pretending to be retarded

>>377814175
It's for Japan. They're obsessed with Splatoon.

Wait, you mean to tell me there are legitimate people that would actually defend this?

>t. Nintendo fan here

I like Nintendo for the games they USED to make, not so much this shit. Can't believe they're already shilling Splatoon off like this. Between this and the Fire Emblem pandering (which I tried to play several times and could not get into the series at all due to how... particularly bland everything feels), I don't even know. Pikmin looks okay for the 3DS, but I'd say even that's getting the Yoshi treatment.

Don't get me started on how many carbon copies there are already of the yarn gimmick game. We get it, you like yarn and the previous titles sold well, do we really need that many Yarn games.

everyone should do this
nintendy being revolutionary again

I'm not going to waste my energy defending something stupid but I'm still going to buy Splatoon 2 at launch as well as Mario Odyssey and there's not a damn thing you Sonybros can do to stop me.

>IT IS NOT OKAY TO SELL SOMETHING THAT I DON'T WANT TO BUY
>COLLECTORS SHOULD HAVE TO BUY THE BOXES ON eBAY

>>377813348
>defend this
Capitalism.

It's five dollars and harms nobody.

Get. Over. It.

>buying a box I would throw away makes you a collector

>>377813348
It's $5 and people are retarded enough to buy it. In a way, it's brilliant. Stupid and evil, but brilliant.

>>377816937
>Kirby's Epic Yarn
>Yoshi's Woolly World
>Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

If they keep it at that, I don't have anything to say against them. If they somehow churn out Mario's Silky World, yeah, it's getting kinda old.

Yeah, lots of collectors like hanging on to boxes and shit, I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make here aside from "HEY LOOK AT ME I AM INCREDIBLY UNINFORMED ABOUT THIS HOBBY THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT BUT I'M BEING CONDESCENDING BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEEM LIKE I'M JUST AN IDIOT"

Collectors are stupid weirdos, but I'm certainly not going to blame a company for taking advantage of them.

You know the drill anon, the more you know/care about games, the more of an autist you are.

Videogames are for the normies now. Everyone gave Nintendo shit for "leaving gamers behind for a broader audience", but it ended up being literally everyone else that did it instead

Nintendo is to trump as sonybros are to the MSM
Prove me wrong

Someone in production thought it would be a good idea to make the boxes first before realising they couldn't produce Switchs fast enough.

Who is this supposed to harm?

I don't get why I'm supposed to be outraged.

>>377817661
It's wrong to take advantage of the mentally ill

>>377817702
It's five bucks and clearly stated that it's an empty box.

>>377817757
I bet you think it's ok to trade the stupid kids a nickel for a dime

>>377817702
It's not wrong to sell something to someone who wants it and knows what they're getting.

No one should care if any company does this.

Non-issue. PC games have been selling retail boxes with nothing but Steam redemption codes inside for quite some time. Quit trying to start console war shit.

>>377813348
whats the difference between this and selling posters, which is deemed acceptable? both are just a means of displaying the artwork from the game.

>Corporate entity leveraging brand value to make a profit on a cheap collector's item
I think that's just called capitalism anon.

>>377813348
That's great
So scalpers can't just buy up every bundle
