What if 3DS games cost about $50? Would you still buy them?

The good thing about DS games IMO were that they were somewhat cheap to buy. Games were usually around $30-$35. But, they were at times very short. Is there a chance the 3DS games will cost more? I mean, they're graphically better, and the games might be longer. Would you buy the 3DS if games at times cost about $50 or more?

Yeah I would but I suspect them to be $40.

Well a lot of people use their portables for travelling/while they are not at home. If you have a perfectly good PS3 or 360 with a big screen tv I don't see why you'd want to sit there and play the DS.

that would be difficult to me, i have lots of systems, and i cant go around buying each game for 60+ dollars. so i guess if i got the 3ds and they cost that much, i would only get games thati really want, or just wait till they get a price drop.

Then I would buy games less often than now.

I've ever seen only 1 game that was $50 in Canada, and thats Drawn To Life 2. Everything else is in the 30-35 dollar range; with the exception of some RPGs which are $40, and Mario Kart for $45.

Yeah I would, I mean since I was willing to spend $60 on a game like Alan Wake, a game that was so short with little re-play value.

DS games usually start at £25-30 (£30 = about $45-50 USD) in the UK, sometimes going up as high as £35 (like the last Pokemon game), but I'm rarely willing to pay that much unless it's a really great game. I think £20 is a fair price for the better handheld games. I'm hoping the prices don't go any higher than the current standard though.

I probably spend about the same amount of gaming time at home (possibly more) on DS and PSP as PS3/Wii. :P Different sorts of games on the different types of consoles - there's nothing like P3P, The World Ends With You etc available on any of the home consoles.

I wouldn't mind paying extra as long as the games are home console quality. If the games had the production values of GTA4 or FF13 than sure, it's justified. But if we're talking 50 bucks for Cooking Mama 3DS than count me out. I didn't mind paying extra for PSP games (when PS2 and Xbox classic were king) so 3DS should be no different.

Yeah I would, but only if the game is REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOOOOOD.

Oooh, ouch. I doubt that will happen. But I guess I would.

I buy all my games used anyway, so it doesnt really matter much. However, I will get animal crossing 3ds the day it comes out no matter how much it costs.

I, like most everyone else, doubt that they would cost that much, but yeah i would still buy them, however buying all the games I want would be a little difficult with that price.

canadian dollars are like .97 or .98 of US dollars. And all games mostly cost the same in the US as Canada

damn, you're right. the last time i went to canada the exchange rate was a lot different.. it's almost 1 to 1 now.

I'd buy less of them on release, but I'd still get Animal Crossing cause I know I'd definitely justify $50 with how many hours I'd put in it. I'd probably get Ocarina of Time as well cause I heard that lengthy and I'd probably play it at least twice.

i would get less games but probably :P

Yeah, I'd still buy games. What would be the point in buying a new system and not buying any games ?

I would buy less but I'm sure I would still pick up the best ones.

Truthfully, only a few. They must be 8.5 or higher. There shouldn't be a reason why they cost as much as a regular console game...

Only games that I really want. I would wait until it goes down in price, or get them as gifts. But they will not be that expensive.

I was wishing they'd be $10 :cry: But $50 games? Much as I'd love to own them, the answer's no.

I would buy a 3DS game for $50 but that would be the only one I get for a long long time. I would have to wait into to get it cheaper or used from GameStop. The one game that I would get wouldbe a zelda game or something that I knew was going to be worth it.

That's a pretty good question.

I think that most gamers probably will pay higher prices for improved graphics and features. I don't think consumers would have paid $50.00 for every DS game this gen, but they have paid $40.00 for some games already. Because the 3DS will have GCN-quality graphics, I think the console die-hards will be willing to take handheld gaming more seriously and maybe give the 3DS a spin. They'll be willing to pay almost as much as they pay for a retail console game, on their handhelds.
