It was inevitable but surprisingly late
Digitally_Augmented
No 60-120fps or 4k like PS5 or XSX. A sequel to a game running on 6 year old hardware. Ridiculous.
blackthorn_orion
guess the followup question for me is, can you use a voucher to buy this?
LinkWink
Pikmin 4 is $60 on the website. Seems Nintendo isn’t committed 100% to the $70 price tag. They’re being very selective about what to raise prices for. At least for now.

Where is the collectors edition preorder đź‘€

I looked at the website and it says it’s eligible for the Game Voucher, don’t know if it’s a mistake or not but could be useful if it is.

Feels ridiculous for this when Switch is considered “last gen” at this point; maybe for whatever console comes next sure but for the same console we’ve had for years it’s insane.
B-R-A-I-N-S-T-O-R-M
Definitely a game to use a voucher on. This game eats $70/$100 to get two of them, $90 if you buy two $50 cards from costco or some other place with a discount.
MrWaluigi
That explains why they did the voucher thing again…
Broncotron
This game better win all the awards and have Skyrim longevity if I’m expected to pay $70 for it ugh

I’m surprised they did this mid-generation. The only thing that makes sense, is Nintendo Greed. I could understand for next generation, it costing $70, but to switch it up this gen feels cheap.
If they needed to use a bigger cartridge that would be fine. However digital owners also get screwed. I’d be fine if it was $60 digitally and physically $70.

Physical was still $60 at GameStop online. Had to order something else for free shipping.

Yeah I’m out. I’m not spending $70 for a game on the switch hardware.
Nintendo can get fucked.
Wubbzy-mon
At least BOTW is $40 now last I checked.
As long as this is the only $70 game, I will be fine. Almost nothing else though. Moreso because we have yet to move on to the next console.
Igame2deaf
What updates were done to the Switch that required more game development time and resources to justify the $70?
Seems like they are saying “If others can do it we can” without realizing that their system is vastly inferior to the competition
N-Reun
This just feels like US people whining because BotW has always been 70 euros in Europe (most games are 60)
While I feel 70 is a bit much, it’s not anything new in Europe and was very much so expected here.

Imagine saying the consumer is greedy for wanting to play a game for 60 on outdated software. Had a new system was announced and the price tag was 70 for it.. then fine im all for it. But botw had performance issues so now im paying 70 to have the chance to run into more performance issues… that doesnt sit well with me. Update the hardware then talk to me about being cheap. Not while im using a 7 year old system.

Glad I preordered this for $60 on Amazon forever ago.
Dry_Pool_2580
If the game is 10$ extra, I expect an extra 10$ worth of fun ONTOP of a 60$ game different enough from BOTW. Cool? Cool.
Void_Keeper_2
On the bright side, now first party games released 5/6 years ago *are* cheaper than Tears of the Kingdom.
SilverIdaten
Nope. I’m not supporting this absolute bullshit. The Switch came out in **2017**. Nintendo can go get fucked trying to charge current gen prices on last gen hardware.
I’m already hesitant paying $60 for Switch games, definitely not shelling out $70 for this unfortunately. Game looks fine, but not $70 fine
ineedlesssleep
I paid 70 for breath of the wild whenever that came out so why is this surprising?
JackyJoJee
anyone knows what the price for the collectors edition could likely be
Hereiamhereibe2
For Zelda fine im okay with this because I know the quality is worth it. But if they try to sell Mario vs Rabbits 3 or Captain Toad 3 at $70 I wont buy it.
Piccadil_io
Pre-ordered for ÂŁ49.99. Could be worse.
da_choppa
If it’s half the game BotW was, it’s still a bargain
TheCrach
Just out of interest what is the cut of for people on here, If Nintendo said TotK is 79.99 most people would still buy, heck they could charge 99.99 and everyone would still buy it.
Kalfopony
Yeeeeaaaaaah pirating it before it becomes the industry standard. They have fucked with latin american prices for such a long time, it’s around 85 dollars in Mexico
Tsaucesos
Kind of getting tired of Nintendo just greed grabbing the consumer to their knees

But the infuriating part is it doesn’t matter, millions will support this and just like how Pokémon games will never reach the quality of Gens 4-5 again, soon we’ll have to pay $70 for Mario Kart 8.
