Lmao. They know everyone will bite regardless.

 

[Neoxon]

I figured they'd wait until the Switch 2 to increase the price of their games, but I guess not.

 

[J75]

Jeez

 

[BasilZero]

Even more reason for me to not get it day 1.

I'll wait for a sale.

 

[Brodo Baggins]

Do vouchers still work for it? Makes that a much better deal if so.

With Nintendo you'll be waiting at least a year for anything more than 5 bucks off.

 

[Balmung421]

Gimmie that $120 version with the season pass/other digital goodies pls

 

[Hu3]

Lol, it was a matter of time, whoever thought otherwise was fooling themselves.

This does make that $100 game voucher more worth it. It does work for the game right?

Lmfao

I like to naively think this means it's a Switch 2 game.

But we know it's just greed.

Excited for a 20 page thread, though!

They should. It's a first party release.

[bionic77]

Ugh. I fucking hate paying $70 for PS5 games.

That really blows.

 

[Lukar]

lol

lmao

and of course they start the trend with the game that will 100% sell boatloads regardless of the price

well-played, Nintendo

 

[808s & Villainy]

thanks Sony

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

People need to accept that games aren't immune from inflation, not even from your fav.

This is Nintendo, you gonna be waiting for a long time.

 

[hunnies28]

All the more reason to get that two game voucher I guess

 

[blacklotus]

Super Smash Brothers has always been 69,99€ in Portugal.

 

[gdt]

As long as the voucher works idgaf

 

[Nolbertos]

That's a mighty expensive but Everything is expensive nowadays, so it was expected, but still going to wait for a price drop on this

 

[The Quentulated Mox]

hope that extra $10 will go towards better quality materials. everything in the first game kept breaking

 

[gcubed]

Hope you enjoy it in three years when you finally get to play it!

For 61.99

 

[jdh96]

Most likely a price error but, be prepared for the incoming outrage.

 

[nbnt]

Should've at least waited till Switch 2, jeez

That's a great point. Pay 30$ more for a second full price game.
Really not sure how they are justifying the price hike. Not like Sony or MS raised prices on ps4/xbone games.

Greediest company in gaming strikes again

 

[Badcoo]

We've lost, era. We tried, but we lost.

 

[Bobbyleejones]

If we get get a sub 30fps and sub 720p game for 70….. 🫠

The original Breath of the Wild was actually marked up on digital in my territory as well come to think of it. Both it and Smash Bros. are outliers, wonder what that means for Tears of the Kingdom's pricing in those territories.

 

[SpartyCrunch]

Literally the first $70 game that I will not hesitate for a single second to buy on day one. And probably one of the first $70 games ever that's actually worth the price.

 

[Flame Lord]

lol


I'll wait for the Switch 2 version.

 

[Quinton]

Could be an error.

[Cipher Peon]

I'll pay whatever they ask for. I made my peace with 70 dollars games if that's what it takes to keep physical games alive

I'm expecting 1 year around $50.

I disagree.

Fucking hell, no

 

[808s & Villainy]

Okay, but what if it's eligible for the voucher?

[StereoVSN]

Used copy will be around $40-45 within a year, not too bad... Or buy the vouchers for $90 with usual eShop card deals and make it $45.
Personally not going to touch this until Switch 2, unless I decide to buy it and rip with my OG Switch.

seeing as its nintendo that prob wont be until 2028

 

[HardRojo]

And since it's a Nintendo first party release you can be sure that shit's staying at $70 for several years to come. Ah well, I wasn't planning on playing it anytime soon anyway.

 

[Renna Hazel]

Pre-orders have been up for 60 dollars for a long time on sites like Amazon. They still are, so some of you might wanna lock that price in.

I'm assuming this is just a price error though.

 

[Derkon]

BOOM

 

[Streusel]

would be funny if they increased the price straight from 60 to 80€
