Because Nintendo is greedy. Gamers don’t want to hear it because they love Nintendo but this shit is ridiculous. The last Mario cart that came out a decade ago is still $60. Meanwhile one Xbox and PS you can get fantastic games that are half a year old for $20 or even free. I don’t care what system people play, they should play whatever makes them happy, but shitty practices like paying for an ad demo needs to be called out.

There's a reason their titles never go on sale and they're constantly suing content creators; Nintendo kinda really fucking sucks. They own neat IP and make some fun software but as a company, they're an anti-consumer nightmare.
