I was waiting to buy Tears of the Kingdom, thinking the price would go down eventually. Should I not do that?

You know if you build yourself a $3000 computer, you could play it using ryujinx, saving yourself a massive -$2940

I have a what I assume to be about 1500€ to 2000€ machine (I don't know the exact value as I inherited it from my cousin who passed away in January) and I can play BotW on yuzu just fine. I assume that even a thousand euro machine would be able to handle switch emulation fine, at least if you don't go doing any enhancements like unlocking the framerate or running shaders...

Ya but could it run turbo tax?

Nintendo games rarely (as in, barely ever) get discounted, especially first party games. Remember how they offered a certain game (I think it might have been 3D All-Stars?) for a limited time only? Nintendo is rather anti-consumer in the long run.

So if you keep waiting for a price drop, it's gonna be a while. Maybe you get lucky and some third party shop sells it for 40$. Don't expect it to go under that for a long time, it's a Zelda game. The ones who really want it will buy it regardless of the price, and Nintendo or the other shops don't really care about the rest.

It's not worth saving a tenner to lose out on the relevance of playing it at release imo.

I don't understand how Nintendo keep their games prices so high, are people just not selling second hand games?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They are, I trade mine in all the time. But they sell well, so secondhand places don't mark them down much.

Get tears of the kingdom as a physical copy from a supermarket. I have seen it as low as £48 new in shops Vs £60 in the estore.

What is mad is Breath of the Wild will still be £59.99 on the shelf next to it....
