Nintendo doesn't discount games because its "mentality" is always shipping "the best" says former NOA president Reggie Fils-Aimé

Former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé has explained why Nintendo doesn't give massive discounts on its games.

Speaking at the NYUGameCenter Lecture Series (highlighted by Stealth40K), Fils-Aimé was asked about Nintendo not following an industry trend of releasing half-baked games-as-a-service titles that are later updated and fixed. He responds: "The Nintendo mentality is, 'we're shipping a game complete. It's ready to play. There's no day one update that's going to take three hours.' And so part of it is it's a different mentality. That is their thinking."
