Burnout Paradise showing a June 19th release date on the Switch e-shop.
- Thread starter RingRang
- Start date
It's one of my all time favorites so you can bet I'm in.
But seriously, enough with the rereleases. Just make a new Burnout. NFS is dead in the water. People want it.

Naw but it's been like $5 on the other platforms.
If they released it at $20 I'd bite at the full price but $50? GTFO. I'll wait until it's sub $10.
I can't decide if I want to get it at launch to support my love of Burnout (and EA ports on Switch), or wait for a sale because that price is ridiculous...
I'll probably just wait because I doubt my purchase will make much of a difference.
Already got the Remastered version on PC for like $20 when it launched. I would have done $30 day one or maybe even $40 since I'm sure it took a bit of work to get it on Switch, but more than that is too much IMO.
At $20 I'll bite. Probably would have bit at $30 but EA offended me by getting a little too ambitious with their pricing.
I'll grab it on a sale eventually because it is Burnout and Paradise is excellent but $50 is too much for what is a very minor "remaster". For whatever reason, EA keeps pushing NFS and keeps Burnout in the forgotten trash bin and I can't forgive them for it so I'm not buying for more than I could on other platforms.
EA probably wants to sabotage it's sales to later use it as excuse to drop Switch support. This is a well known strategy from publishers with bad blood with Nintendo in the past.
I know it's tin-foil hat tier stuff but iirc there've been rumors that the top brass at EA think a market without Nintendo or Nintendo being completely irrelevant is better for the rest of their prospects
I don't know if it's worth believing in at all but the rumors are there
$65 Canadian...
Of course, it isn't an EA Nintendo release without the intentional price sabotage

That pricing is wild. Why can't EA just put out a reasonably priced decent Switch effort. This shit is ridiculous.
I know those rumors are out there, but they don't make a lick of sense. Nintendo's games don't eat into EA's marketshare and the people whom are buying Animal Crossing ain't gonna jump over into Madden
It's easier and cheaper to kill a system by releasing no games on it.
This doesn't make any sense.
Unless I'm looking at the wrong places, the Xbox and PS4 versions launched at $40 USD...

Imagine paying 50 dollars for a game that was released in 2008. C'mon EA, I got the same remaster on PS4 for like 7 bucks last year.
$50 is way too steep if that's the NA store. I ain't spending that on a switch port. Especially not on a remaster. Spyro and crash trilogy were 39.99 on launch. And they each had 3 games.
EA really dropped the ball this gen with remasters I'd gladly pay 49.99 for. Dead space and mass effect trilogy. Bundled with the complete dlc.
I'll pass on this until a sale.

You can expect it to be a staple of eShop sales. The inevitable "60% off!!!!" price is what it should have launched at. I'm very excited for it but even I have limits.
I don't blame EA. They are following the modus operandi of releasing old ports on switch. Considering how successful those were, would be stupid not to follow suit.
Never played this but I dumped almost 50 hours into Need for Speed: Most Wanted U, and from what I hear this is pretty similar gameplay-wise, so I'll probably pick this up.
50 is absolute bullshit for Paradise at this point. Sure it'll be one of the better racing games on the system, but that's gonna be a no without a significant sale.
Damn, $50? F that shit. I'm going to wait for the inevitable sale.
Switch tax strikes again.
I played this game for countless hours on PS3 and got it on sale on PS4 for casual fun. I would have triple dipped on Switch for portability and probably would have put more time into it than the PS4, but definitely not at that price.
Oh my god, you're right!

Adding salt to injury in hindsight
The thing is, even on sale this won't reach $5. I think it'll easily hit $30, but I'd like it to get to $20 before I buy. I don't see it happening though.

I get the complaints about the price, but the Switch doesn't have a single open world racing game that even comes close to the quality of Burnout Paradise. This is one of my favorite games of all time, so I'll be ponying up the $50 for a physical copy.
Fixed that. I promise you EA didn't dump resources into porting a 10 year old game as a strategy to not support the Nintendo Switch.
