Not much to say, I want to have a clear idea about how much do people care about the price of Link's Awakening.

Do you agree with Link's Awakening on Switch being $60? If you don't, are you still going to buy it?

I would've expected it to be $40 were it not Nintendo, but I'm still getting it because it looks great.
I guess if I buy it at Walmart, it'll be $50. Either way, nah I don't really care. I'm going to have a good time.
I'd like to know where people are finding price drops for Switch games though. Over here in North America it's a giant "good fucking luck" even after a year.

I don't know if I can pinpoint a single reason why I don't think it's worth the full price ($80CDN) but I don't think it is and I won't be buying it.
I guess I have less of an issue with its pricing when compared to, say, Tropical Freeze, which was an absolute no-effort port.

Ill wait for the dungeon builder and whatever else they added before I judge.
That said, Im disappointed Nintendo and other publishers haven't been pushing $40 Switch games more. I know they exist, but I wanted more

I believe Captain Toad launched at $40, but it was always an intentionally smaller title even on Wii U.
Never really thought about it until I saw people complaining here. But in any case, I used a voucher to get it so I didn't pay $60 anyway.
I have the DX version for the Nintendo 3DS, so I have no interest with purchasing this game. It looks visually ugly, so that doesn't help.
They are like hundreds of quality indie titles for less than 20 bucks available.
Switch games are more expensive to develop than DS/3DS games - add in retail releases and cartridge prices and i dont see why publishers would go for cheaper prices, without sacrificing its viability as a plattform to support.
A good game is a good game. I imagine if someone did the math we might know what the price is comparatively to games of the same time and give us an objective indicator of value over time, but I don't need that. Because a good game is a good game, and I'll pay "full price" for a game that's well made and good. The same conversation came up about Octopath and will inevitably spark up everytime something like this comes out.
It's the same as the "animated movies are for kids" convos people talk about and why Spiderverse didn't make as much as it should have. People have perceptions of styles/values/etc and the market's job is to interpolate and interpret those values and try to sell within those values for a profit. -shrug-

I don't mind highly enhanced, full remakes like this being full MSRP; hell on other consoles I'm surprised a lot of those aren't $60 (Spyro, MediEvil, etc.). I only really have issues with ports of last-gen games that do the bare minimum (if anything at all) in terms of upgrades being launched as a full price title.
just as an aside: Cadence of Hyrule. I paid full price and I gotta say; great game but honestly it was a bit too much for that also
Exactly. This is a total remake. It's not a port. I don't see why it wouldn't be $60. Is some of this tied to the fact that the original was a handheld title? Like, if they had done a massive remake of Zelda 2 or LTTP, I know there would still be complaints but would there be as many?
i played the original to death, and i love the game, but to be honest watching preview vids of it put me off it because of how much smaller the world feels thanks to the map scrolling and screen size letting you see bits of the map that are three zones away in the corners
I think this game is so good that I don't have a problem paying sixty bucks for a full remake that includes that interesting dungeon-maker stuff.
I'd pay up to twenty bucks for the original GBA game because I think that it's the best LoZ game ever made and it's one of my favorite games of my childhood and of all Nintendo games, so sixty for this (well, fifty since I have GCU) is not a big ask at all.

Nah. The art style is gorgeous, though. But there's not nearly enough altered with the gameplay to warrant me purchasing it at full price, especially with other switch games coming out around the same time that seem more worth $60 imo (namely Daemon X Machina)
Oddly enough I never owned this GB/C game as a kid. If I did, however, I feel like I'd end up buying the game full price. There's a $10 Nintendo tax on Nostalgia after all.

I gotta say, I'm really tired of gamers complaining about the price developers set for their video games. I'm cool with hating on predatory practices, but trying to decide the value of something like this is lame. I hated it when people did this shit regarding Monster Boy and I still hate it here.
