When Mario Galaxy dropped as the Wii’s launch title in 2007, it cost $50. Adjust for inflation, and that comes out to $77 in 2025. Why tf are people clutching their pearls over the price? Why are people acting like Covid and inflation didn’t happen? Nintendo is staying right in that same price range it always has. The bitching and whining needs to stop.

Yalls gotta stop making memes out of fuckin fascists
As a man, this has legit always bugged me. We use “girls” in contexts that we would NEVER use “boys” in, even when they’re the same age.
mienshao@lemm.eeto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•At least Quark had some integrity.English116·16 days agoSorry mate, not how language works. Men is a noun, male is usually an adjective, they aren’t interchangeable. Depending on the context, it can be weird/wrong to call groups of people by an adjective (exp. illegals, poors, disableds). Hearing men call women “females” sounds weird af dude, you’re proving OP’s point.
mienshao@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Direct 3.27.2025English3·23 days agoSame… not trying to be too critical too soon, but I was kinda underwhelmed (especially given this game’s development history)
These complaints are FUCKING INSANE. When the Wii Dropped in 2007, adjust for inflation, that baby comes out to $400 today. Mario Galaxy, Wii’s launch title, was $50. Adjust for inflation, that comes to $77 today.
Also, the Switch 2 is basically the 2007 version of a Wii PLUS a Nintendo SP. The Switch 2, on the numbers, is perfectly in-line with Nintendo’s prices for the past TWO DECADES.
These prices are fucking consistent. Inflation has skyrocketed, and on the whole, wages have kept pace with inflation. So, these prices make sense.
And like, I hate capitalism. I hate enshitification. I hate corporate greed. But why tf are people acting like Nintendo isn’t a corporation whose fundamental purpose is to create profit for shareholders? People are literally blaming Capitalism on Nintendo, and it’s fucking annoying. I just want to play Kirby in PEACE.
