Because the whole idea behind low development costs was one of nintendo's quests to regain 3rd party support, keeping the same price WHILE making games the same price not only gives gamers the same great games for a lower price than the competition but it also officializes the profit intended for devs and publishers.
I haven't seen any Wii games exceed the $50 boundry set by Nintendo. Alternatively, I've seen some games go for $40, and there are even games that go as low as $30 brand new. That sure the hell beats paying $60+ for 360 and PS3 games. Not to mention that when the games are cheaper, people buy more of them, and the industry benefits in the long run.
They should be 39.99 because the still use a gamecube developer kit to make them. Another question is why do you have to pay $50 altogether for controllers?

that's what I thought, almost all the "new" ps2, xbox, and GC games are going for $40 or less.
dunno why the controllers are $50 but I do know just about anything with the words bluetooth tends to cost alot. Also all system controllers are going for alot this gen.
I feel sort of ripped of buying Wario Ware for $50, when I can get gears for just $10 more. It's like getting $10 chicken strips when you could of got steak for a $2 extra. Sure chicken strips are good and all but not really worth $10
Most wiigames developed by nintendo are $50.Nintendo games tend to have a higher degree of polish and replayability. They almost never go down in price. Third party wiigames start at $50 and quickly go down in price to about $30 within half a year and eventually to $20. If you're shopping for wii games be patient for the third party titles. Xbox 360 and PS3games start at $60 and generallyretain thier value for about twice as long. The top selling games for those systems do go down in price eventually however.
Compared to Xbox 360 and PS3 games, that's pretty cheap ;). Devs have to work less hard to develop a game for the Wii than the other consoles. I'm not saying the devs aren't working hard to make games, I'm just...well, you get the idea :P.
[QUOTE="EazyD91"]I'm pretty sure Galaxy 1 will still be 50$ after Galaxy 2 releasesScythes777
of course, why wouldnt it be? They are both their own games. Yea, keep a game that released almost 2 years earlier at 50$ yea thats great, I guess this could be applied to other series as well, let's keep all the final fantasy games at full price since they're all different even though some released like 20 years ago :roll:
Nintendo puts themselves down too much. Just because everyone thinks Nintendo is not as cool or advanced as some of the other kids doesn't make it true.
