But, I remember all the pro DD people telling me that no physical copy meant lower costs for the manufacturer and thus lower prices all around! You mean they're charging the same price for something that now costs them much less than before? How could no one have seen this coming?

Seriously, fuck DD, especially where Nintendo is concerned.

Everything you said is true for companies not called Nintendo. This is why I'm basically DD only on the system with the lowest DD prices and best storage options: the PC.

Nintendo doesn't even lower the prices of their physical copies years after they've been out. Fucking over the consumer when Nintendo is involved is specific to them, not the format.

Sometimes they do now. eShop has a lot of sales too. They're learning, slowly... i believe in you nitendo... i believe...

Console publishers are real SOBs in this regard. Playstation Store and Xbox on Demand games released same day at the same price as retail? Fuck that. It's a shame too, because if they ever started awesome sales like Steam or even Amazon, a lot of people who normally wouldn't buy digital would probably do so.

They all have sales though... Sometimes really good ones. I'm assuming Xbox does, because Playstation and even Nintendo have them frequently.

MS has sales while Sony has less frequent sales but lots of full games offered through Plus. The only DD sales I've seen from Nintendo were very recently on the 3DS, though I don't browse their eShop very often.

They have them on the WiiU eShop too. Probably because no one's buying anything... but i know i've almost bought Trine 2 and Mighty Switch Force several times because they keep putting them on sale. next time

3DS seems to have them often now. The Guild 01 titles are currently on sale.

I bought that Grasshopper game on sale!

I actually kind of like the game more than Kid Icarus even if it lacks the charm of the constant babbling conversation.
