Why these deals matter

Nintendo is infamous for keeping its products as close to their original launch price as possible. It doesn't matter if it's six months or six years down the line, the consoles and games almost always stay the same price. In fact, they tend to rise in price once Nintendo stops selling them itself with the items quickly becoming sought after by collectors. Couple this with the general increase in costs across every platform -- Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox included -- and sales like these are more important than ever. There are some brilliant gems in this selection, well worth the asking price.
