Why is New Super Mario Bros. Wii Still $50

The lowest I've seen this game is on Wal-Mart's website for $40, but it's still for the most part $50 after 4 years.... 

Shouldn't Nintendo have done a price drop by now or added it to their esstential collection?

Because people still buy it for $50.Rod90

This. As long as people will buy it at that price, they don't have any reason to drop the price.

nintendo games always stay high

Because Nintendo games are so awesome they are able to sell for the original price even many years after their release when plenty of copies are still around.

It's either that or Nintendo is purely evil. :P

That's just Wal Mart being Wal Mart.

Cause games by Nintendo rarely (almost never) drop in price. :P

Exactly what I came here to say. It's not rocket science, people.

I just don't get why they keep calling them "New" Super Mario Bros. It not that new anymore. Not when you've made 4 of them, all with "New' in the title. And they're really just nicer looking versions of the old Super Mario Bros anyway, so the concept is hardly new either.

But people love their side-scrolling Mario platformers, so companies are like "hey, why should we lower the price?"

1. Because people still buy it for that price gladly

2. Because it's well worth $50

How many copies does this game arleady sold? Thirty million copies worldwide?

Because you went to Wal-mart probably. Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think Wal-Mart sells a lot of pre-owned games. I think if you went to GameStop or searched Amazon, you would find a much better price.

because its that good , and , why is black ops 2 still 60 ,  with what little it offers id choose nsmbw over it any day lol  by the way marioparty 4 at gamestop still retails for 39.99 if you find a copy lol , even with 5 6 7 8 and 9 out

Lol that's Nintendo for you :P. They don't like the idea of lowering the price of their games xD. I think Melee is still ike $35 dollars, and Brawl is still like $50 :P.

Simply because......it can. It is still selling well. nintendo games sell well on a long term basis.

I saw a brawl with the same price just a few days ago.
