Reddit reviews Metroid: Other M

A lot of people attribute Nintendo games maintaining a high price because thats just what the Big N does, but in reality it is just a reflection of how high quality most of their games are. Most of their harshly reviewed and critically panned games have low prices. Compare Metriod:Other M to Mario Galaxy 2. Most of those evergreen titles are evergreen for a reason.

maybe try pricematching to amazon?

Coffee always does the trick for me when I'm feeling down. Hard to feel bad with hot caffeine coursing through your veins.

This would be pretty cool

>And people don't like it.

That's sort of a misconception. I do realize that it is true, there are people who don't like it, but that can be said for any game. If we are talking generally speaking, then it doesn't appear to be true. If you look around the internet, you'll see that most critic and user scores give it a rather high rating. Here's a list I gathered:

Ok, for the sake of argument let's say that you are right and there were no price drops until Black Friday. Even then, only 3 months after Other M released (August 21, 2010) the game was already being heavily discounted! Super Mario Galaxy 2 was released on May 23, 2010 and is still at $50 from retailers! The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - a game that launched with the Wii nearly 7 years ago - is at $20. Metroid: Other M is sitting anywhere between five and fifteen dollars everywhere. On top of that, those titles sold many, many more copies than Other M at a higher price point. I'm at a loss for how you can claim that Other M made plenty of money, when it is quite clear from the fact that it was being discounted so heavily in the first place so early after release indicates trouble. First party Nintendo games tend to hold retail value for a very, very long time! I mean, to put it in perspective, Metroid Prime 3, which came out 3 years before Other M, retails at $20 on gamestop and $40 on amazon. Other M brought in an abysmally low amount of revenue compared to what is expected by a first party Nintendo title. You can't get around that.

Priced at Gamestop for $5 brand new, only available online

Priced at Wal-Mart for $8.43 used only, only available online

Priced at Target for $14.99 used only, only available online

Priced at Amazon for $11.90 brand new

Saw Metroid Other M for $80 at Walmart the other day.

That's really expensive, I bought it brand new in 2011 for £10, and now it's even cheaper
