This is where Nintendo can't be defended. The biggest argument I have heard is that old games cost this much or more. That is true, Street Fighter 2 for SNES cost $70 at release. There was good reason for this. Cartridges were expensive. It would cost roughly $35 to manufacture this game. The $35 left over was split 4 ways between the retailer, distributor, developer and the licensing fees.
Then CDs and later DVDs came out and the price of manufacturing a game dropped to around $5. At that point for the first and only time the price of new games dropped to $50. Everybody won, the consumer pays less and there is $10 more for everyone involved in getting the game to the player.
Then we get the digital download garbage on consoles and they charge as much as a physical copy and the price jumps to $60 per new game. Now we have got rid of the retailer and the distributor. So the game developers and companies get to keep all that money. While servers and electricity are required, it would amount to pennies per game sold.
Overall, there is no reason for games to cost $80 and $90. There was an argument that this was to counter the pirating issue, well that is only going to make the issue so much worse as nobody is going to pay that for a game. With all that said, it is Nintendo's turn to be the dumbass of this generation of consoles.

Racing thoughts. A pounding heart. Sweaty palms and shaky legs. Darkness rises inside of me. Whispers echo names of those long forgotten. I'm a hollow shell of who I once was. Old ghosts haunt the corridors of my mind. I'm trapped in a never-ending cycle of my own guilt.
(I keep sending the most random stuff to people anonymously in the game I'm playing lol. This was a letter I wrote to someone just now sksksk).

Also the "Mama" in Joemama711 is clearly a reference to his relationship with Jenova!

Ehhhh... Flavoring. I'd say more than likely vanilla flavoring and not actual dairy of any sort.
