This will be the best selling 3rd party title on 3DS and Wii U. Smart move.

Interesting that there's a Vita version this time around.

BigDug13 · Jul 17, 2013

It better have first person sword play on the level of Jedi Knight, the space battle gameplay of Xwing and Tie Fighter, and also Angry Birds gameplay at that price.

Scofield94941 · Jul 17, 2013

this will sell well on WiiU for 50 dollars. O wait no it wont

AdmiralSnackbar · Jul 17, 2013

Forty!

That's as many as four tens, and that's terrible!

GalacticMouse · Jul 17, 2013

I'll continue checking them out on the platforms they were made to be played on for free or $0.99...

The worst part.

Tucah · Jul 17, 2013

I assume it's both games, probably comes with the portal and some of the toys too? Still lol for charging $40 for something you can buy for $2.

Picobrain · Jul 17, 2013

Holy shit that's crazy.

So 3rd parties can go on ranting about the poor WiiU sales. I wonder why.

This is the same price set Angry Birds Trilogy had.

Despite this, it's the best selling third party 3DS game in the US.

Excuse me while I go vomit now.

The Faceless Master · Jul 17, 2013

i guess the extra $10 for the Wii U version is to offset the cost of developing the unique and exclusive touch controls for that SKU.

googleplex · Jul 17, 2013

The fuck? It would be nice on my Vita but not at that price!

They must have lost their damn mind. They really must think we're fucking stupid.

We aren't, but it doesn't matter. We are far removed from the audience they're targeting for this thing. The people they're pushing this onto are the people who don't know the first thing about videogames - the people who realize that their friend's sister's nephew is having a birthday in two days and don't know what to get him but they like Star Wars and also they play that one game on their iWhatever about throwing birds at things so this'll be perfect!

Mark my words - this is going to sell like crazy.

Clockwork5 said:
What!?!?! No next gen port? Maybe they thought $60 is too much, lol.

Overdelivering value!

Badosh · Jul 17, 2013

Wow, dat price.

Chiaroscuro · Jul 17, 2013

lol Activision

ChewyTechnology · Jul 17, 2013

Maybe its for the physical copy and comes with goodies like figurines.

I second this, and add a few more

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAH

Father_Brain · Jul 17, 2013

Well, I guess Activision isn't completely done with Vita after all. If true, this will only be the second game they've announced or released for the platform.

SmokedMeat · Jul 17, 2013

This must be the special limited edition version with the artbook and CD soundtrack.

Twinduct · Jul 17, 2013

THANKS ROVIO!
Shame on any person who supports this!
SHAME!

There is simply no way in hell they'd be so stupid to charge that price. It has to be either placeholder or an error.

Angry Birds: Best Selling 3rd Party game on 3DS edition

Angry birds is not the best selling third party game on 3DS by a wide margin. Monster Hunter 3G's sales eclipse it at 2 million+ copies sold

Skyzard · Jul 17, 2013

Shame on any store not offering a day 1, 75% discount. That's being generous to the stores.

Hmm.

Exactly. I fired up the App Store and just saw that this was the Free App of the Week.

Downloading now.

It is in NA with 500k+ copies sold.

Tragic.

Per creamsugar's leaks, it was the best-selling third-party 3DS game in the US as of the end of 2012, at over 400K LTD. Who knows how that ranking looks now; perhaps he'll enlighten us tomorrow.

TheGreyHulk · Jul 17, 2013

what a joke. aren't the games free on iOS?

i see them all the time on the app store, but never pay attention to the price.

only a moron would buy these games at these prices.

Angry Birds Star Wars, £2.99 on the Mac App Store.

Einbroch · Jul 17, 2013

Angry Birds: Star Wars is a fantastic game, though. The powers are really cool and the motif is interesting. Easily the best Angry Birds game, and I don't even really like Star Wars.

angelic · Jul 17, 2013

So if you play it on the Wii U tablet you get the complete 69p angry birds experience, with worse resolution and touch input than an ipad 1. Take my money.

Hahahaha oh wow

OriginalNameGuy · Jul 17, 2013

Is the case gold plated? Only way I could justify purchasing this.

nampad · Jul 17, 2013

lol at the price. At least the Vita also got a port, yay.

superchunk · Jul 17, 2013

I really like AB and would definitely want it on WiiU/Gamepad.... but $50? Who the fuck decided that was appropriate?

Even if it is ABSW 1+2, that's still like $30 too much.

It would have to add significant more game content to be worth that much. I'll wait to see if it goes on sale.
