80 bucks for a game? How did anybody afford this shit

lee4hmz

That's how I feel about Wii U games now...

Calica

Nintendo never discounts their games because they are premium products, not rabble like our competitors

MEANWHILE, AT VALVE:

*basically prints money four times a year by putting everything half-off*

upon seeing that all the good games on the 3DS were like 40 fucking bucks i promptly gave that thing to my sister because like 40 dollars can buy you like

the nicest t-shirts that money can buy

It always seemed odd to me that the target audience for video games was supposedly kids, yet the games cost that much.

The thing is straight out of 1995, when garish colors, the less conventional Emigre typefaces, and breaking established design rules were in

It has not aged well, at all

(also, the distorted-looking typeface is Template Gothic)

Imipolex G

game magazines at the time were pretty much wall-to-wall that stuff

glennmagusharvey

i take offense to the idea that it has not aged well

the text and humor style haven't

the rest of the visual design is just fine

No.

it's fine in the sense of it does not offend me
