So why are 3DS games, even years old used ones, still near or at full price?

I thought I'd pick up a New 2DS XL to catch up on the Nintendo stuff I'd passed on last gen. Threw down a preorder because it looks nice and I don't really care about 3D at all, especially with that resolution. But looking at all the games I'm interested in they're all still almost full price.

Why is that?

I was pretty late to the party with the Vita and about 15 or the 30 Vita games I have I paid 9-29 dollars for, and I kinda figured it would be the same for 3DS.
Does Nintendo have decent digital sales or anything like that? Is the entirety of the catalog available through the eShop?
Also game recommendations I guess.
>>
Which games do you want exactly?

Most of the core catalog like Animal Crossing and Triple Deluxe are $20 now as Nintendo Selects, and all of the good Atlus games like EOIV regularly go on digital sale for $10.

Link Between Worlds is great.
>>
Resolution doesn't matter when 3D is on because things pop out of the screen.
3D is literally the best gimmick there ever was.

welcome to nintendo. they doesn't deflate the prices of games.

i bought 10(ten) 3DS games in the last 2 month
>>
>>384901282
Only issue is when it murders the framerate in some games.

ALBW is 60fps 3D which is cool.
>>
>>384901462
This.

Nintendo once again has a monopoly on the handheld gaming market. Sony needs to step it up and make another psp.
>>
>>384900770
You should of spent the $50 extra for the 3ds dude. I thought it was a gimmick too until i got one. It makes the games look heaps better.
>>
>>384901828
I had a 3DS for a short time and then MML 3 got canned and I threw it in the trash.

Wasn't impressed by the 3D at all and it made my eyes hurt.
>>
because nintendo games unlike most AAA shit are actually good and didn't spend all the budget on advertising to scam preorders, so people actually buy them after release

>good discounts
pick one and only one
and hack your console to get a 100% off your games
>>
>>384901979
3DS start was fucking rough. Legends 3 cancelled and TTYD2 scrapped in favor of Shitter Star.

WiiU had same fucking problem except it never got fixed; SMTxFE, no real 3D Mario, no exclusive Zelda game, Color Splash, etc.
>>
>>384902921
I do have to give them credit though. They stepped up with the 3Ds catalog, which is why I'm interested now.
I was just kinda like "Damn,really?" When I saw what some of the games are still going for.
I guess I'll just get them at a slower pace throughout the rest of the year seeing as there are so many other games I want to play as well. This year has been too stacked. Actually kinda glad Red Dead got pushed back.
>>
>>384900770
just buy a model that can be hacked and games are free

Should I replace my n3DSXL with a n2DSXL?
>Got it at launch
>C-nub barely functions
>Paint chipping off
>>
>>384900770
OP You should pick up SMT Apocalypse if you haven't tried it yet. It's pretty good


Also serious question, do you think the new 2ds will be able to run better/faster now that it doesn't have the 3d functionality resource hogging?
>>
>>384900770
Because Nintendo doesn't print 10 million copies of every game like western publishers, so stores don't wind up with tons of excess stock that gets heavily discounted. People also trade in first-party Nintendo games a lot less often, so couple that with the above and there are just far fewer copies in circulation than, say, any western AAA game that any random Gamestop will have a dozen used copies of at any given time.

>TTYD2 scrapped in favor of Shitter Star
lolno, you can hate Paper Mario all you want but stop creating these ridiculous false narratives.
>>
>>384904609
The 3D doesn't use resources if its not on so I don't think so. Nintendo is a lot of things but they aren't dumb enough to create an actual disparity between console in the same line. All the "New" DSs run the same , the new 2ds is just lighter and sleeker because it isn't carrying that extra screen and chip for the 3D.
>>
>>384900770
Hack it.

I'm an old man or have bad eyes or something. I can't turn on 3D without my eyes going cross eyed and getting head aches.

Wait for ntrboothax and enjoy games courtesy of the high seas.

>>384905342
I think its a similar thing to VR. Some peoples brains (mine included) just don't processes it the way some do.
Its actively trying to trick your brain so I think the fact my eyes can't handle it is completely natural and should be expected.
>>384905451
Yeah but then I have to wait.

>>384904331
goddamn do you sweat HCl or something?

>>384905931
It's called playing MH4U for multiple hours straight and having hundreds of hours in it
Also I generally just have sweaty hands

I have put a lot of thought into this myself because i want Nintendo games for my 3ds but love saving money.

There are multiple reasons why prices don't go down.

1: nintendo games are ageless. you can debate if they are good or not but nintendo games just age a lot better then others. People are more likely be tempted to replay a game.

2: Carts take much less space and are more collectible then disks IMO. partly because they are also so durable. They take little space in your collection.

3: A good portion of them were low print. So there is less of them in circulation then say GTA5.

4: its nintendo. There games are popular. you want to keep them or go get them. Zelda fans for example rarely sell their copies. Because they are fans. And hardcore pokemon fans buy multiple and keep multiple of the same game.

Vita games on the other hand drop in price a lot because they are not popular. But many are also low print.
>>
It's nintendo's vision of their products.

For them, a game is never obselete, even 20 years later it's the same game you had at release day, so to them, the product is the same, thus worth the same.

I know that because I worked in localization of various games.

I haven't used it in awhile, been occupied with MH4U, but I played through P4G multiple times. I tend to use it for the PS4 streaming stuff. I should hack it, if I can.
I dunno if the n2DSXL is hackable, but my regular n3DS is hacked, and I've been putting a bunch of GBA games on it.

>>384900770
Nintendo games don't lower in price because every game they make is a masterpiece that will stand the test of time as a classic. Collecting games for a system means you're owning a piece of gaming heritage which will be infinitely playable for decades to come due to the love and care in developing each and every Nintendo title.

Because of this, prices don't lower because the games are always in high demand as everyone wants to own and keep their own piece of Nintendo game.
