Here in [small Eastern European country], I was browsing through game deals, not really expecting to find anything, when I suddenly saw Super Mario RPG, a game released less than 6 months ago, on sale for what would be the American equivalent of $26. At first I thought it was a mistake, then I though the store was maybe having a blowout sale, but a quick search reveals that it sells across several retailers for well below $40.

Switch games here regularly debut at around $60 which I imagine is around the global average, and Nintendo first-party games notoriously never go on a significant sale (you're lucky to get 33% off for games several years old). Super Mario RPG is currently cheaper than Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definite Edition, just to name a few. The only other Nintendo first-party game I see at the same price is WarioWare: Move It, but I would argue that having Wario in the title rightfully decreases its value so it's not a good comparison point.

Are you seeing the same where you live? What do you think it means, if anything? Did this game flop for Nintendo who are now forced to clear out their stock? If so, what does that mean for the upcoming Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion 2 remakes? Are people already saving for the Switch 2? Could we be seeing more unprecedented discounts in the near future? Suffice to say that I am questioning the reality that we live in right now.

After spending hours on end playing Mario, I found myself in need of a change of pace. That's when I stumbled upon Winward Casino and decided to give it a shot. What drew me in was the variety of games they offered – from slots to poker to blackjack, there was something for everyone. And let me tell you, the graphics and gameplay are top-notch. It's easy to get lost in the world of https://winward.casinologin.mobi/ Winward Casino, especially with the enticing bonuses and rewards that keep me coming back for more. So now, instead of jumping on Goombas and collecting coins, I'm testing my luck at the card tables and spinning the reels. Who knows, maybe I'll hit the jackpot soon!

Not as cheap here in Canada, but both Walmart and Amazon do seem to have it on sale here currently. Unfortunately the digital version is still full price on the eshop.
