    They run discounts all the time. So do places like Target. This myth of Nintendo never lowering prices of games is insane.

      They don’t reduce the retail price, but they do go on sales periodically, but rarely more than 30% or so. Link’s Awakening (2019) and Breath of the Wild (2017) still retail for $60. A good sale might bring it down to $40 (probably more like $50), and used on eBay go for $35-45.

      For PC games of similar age and initial launch price, you’d probably spend like $10-20. Yes, you can technically get a discount, but it’s not going to be that much.
