Best example I can think of? Metroid Prime: Hunters. Woot, an order of carpel tunnel to-go!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I actually really enjoyed the multiplayer on that game. The single player sucked though.

I mean it's not like they're struggling to rake in profits or anything.
But you see if they aren't having problems making money, there is no reason to lower the price of the game to try and get people to buy it.
But even when they were on top (such as in the SNES days) they had budget lines.

Sony had greatest hits lines when the ps1 and ps2 were on top.
Sony has a greatest hits line for the PSP and PS3 too.

As I remember the early 90's, it was in the only place.

I bought Metroid Hunters for 20 bucks at a best buy, so that is one of the few games that did lower in price. BTW, I loved that game even thought I only played the single player

I remember Best Buy selling the Metroid Prime Trilogy for $20 right before it went out of production... too bad I didn't get a copy then.

Whoops Thought it was GC.(Which also had budget lines)
