>>58959719Mmnyeah, that's my point. They are going to eat the cost of the expensive carts, especially with Pokémon, because they'll get hardware sales to offset it. TPC won't eat the cost and don't create games with large enough filesizes to justify anything but a GKC. Learn the difference.
>>58959727Nah. Mario and Zelda absolutely will, because they're aimed at the "star wars drone" vintage of human. But Pokémon will remain $70. Dev costs aren't as high as M/LoZ and again, the aforementioned unit sales mena pricing it $10 "cheaper" to normalfags will draw them in. And if they didn't try and gouge on Donkey Kong and it Mario-adjacent, it's unlikely they try to gouge on the kid-focused thing. they know how to not piss off mummy and daddy who *actually* funds pokémon salles for them.
>>58959747What about Pokopia? I knew from the outset it wasn't going to be a filesize large enough to warrant having a full-fat card, the only surprise is it got a physical release full stop. It's also about as relevant to the discussion at hand as explaining how to shoe a horse. Nintendo aren't TPC, thus won't use TPC tropes to publish games under THEIR name in their most-profitable series ever.
