Nothing out of the ordinary for Nintendo, unfortunately. Even the blockbuster Wii Sports was an aberration that they had to be convinced about.
[Reggie] Fils-Aimé pushed for [Wii Sports to be bundled free with the Wii], and initially company President Satoru Iwata turned the proposal down: “Nintendo does not give away precious content for free.”
This game doesn’t even seem like it will have the same replay value of Wii sports. I don’t know who would want to open this game just to re read some descriptions of features.
Lol paying for a demo disc and you don’t even get a magazine or a pizza along with it
Nintendo wouldn’t give something away for free to save a life.
In 2006 they bundled Wii Sports with the Wii, which seemed to benefit them considering the Wii’s success. Though, the Switch 1 had a the demo “1, 2, Switch” for 60 USD and sold better than the Wii, though culturally, more people probably know about Wii Sports compared to 1, 2, Switch.
