Add in Call of Duty too. They're fundamentallly the same game becaue it would be risky to change the game too much, if word gets round to consumers that the multiplayer function has changed too much then they won't the game.It amazes me that Madden is literally the exact same game every year but with slightly different characters, and yet people still spend like $60 on it time and time again, and are like excited to do so.
ergo, gae franchises remain similar to ensure that their core fan base won't be out off buying a new game in the series due to new controls or completely new storyline etcReplace Madden with Fifa and you got Europe.
brand new games are expensive either way.I guess it's fun if you keep track of players and whatnot. I probably can't really talk seeing as how I bought both Black and White even though they're basically the same game, but DS games are a lot less expensive than PS3 or Xbox games.
I agree, I think new games are far too expensive. Besides, I prefer spending my money on CDs or plane ticketsEven though they're still not cheap.
I'm pretty sure i can still find Mario Kart DS for a slight reduction of its original priceHmmm, the problem with DS games is (at least over here) that they mostly keep the same price ages after they're released. Then again, I don't really care about other consoles, PC all day, erry day
A brand new DS game is $35. That's not that expensive.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
For someone that couldn't afford a N64, $35 is money wasted on games that could be better spent on food or whatever.For someone who grew up buying $60-65 N64 games brand new, $35 for a brand new game is really cheap.
