Also, we have confirmations for the prices of two upcoming titles

Nice! I thought Nintendo will only use pre-load for Smash.

GameE · Jan 22, 2015

You cant pre load like Smash from the eshop though right?

Lernaean · Jan 22, 2015

Cool. So when can we preload Kirby in Europe?

JawesomeJaw · Jan 22, 2015

That confirm a budget price for Kirby? That would be neat.

I thought the $40 price has already been confirmed for weeks? Or was that always just Yen conversion?

Garrett Hawke · Jan 22, 2015

Mario Party can't get here soon enough!

The entire point of this thread is that you apparently can, for these games at least.

Shauni · Jan 22, 2015

Kirby is $50? I thought it was supposed to be $40 like Captain Toad?

EDIT: Shit, I'm an idiot, looked right at Mario Party 10 and thought Kirby for some reason.

Clefargle · Jan 22, 2015

Very nice, the fact that they are even releasing Rainbow Curse is exciting in the first place. Canvas Curse was one of my favorite DS titles and I didn't expect to see a sequel. Then the fact that it happened in HD with local multiplayer and for $40 with preload is just a wonderful confluence of events. I hope nintendo keeps this up and we start getting more great games at more affordable prices in a convenient way.

Brazil · Jan 22, 2015

Definitely pre-loading Kirby.

Uhh

Orbis Tabula · Jan 22, 2015

So, is it still known whether or not Mario Party will have a classic mode? Or will it all be the "Ride in a car together" thing that I don't fully understand? Last I heard, the "ride together" thing was in, but it was unclear if the old game mode was still in there, as well.

Exile20 · Jan 22, 2015

Loving these discounted prices for amazing games.

420 Blaze It · Jan 22, 2015

Still waiting for Bestbuy to lower the price on Kirby

Poltergust · Jan 22, 2015

Since the DDP finished, I don't have much reason to get this digitally. Physical copy it is.

Looks like $40 on Amazon

Mory Dunz · Jan 22, 2015

Is every Kirby game named differently in the west right?

They're not bad imo. Maybe they should name Nintendos next console.

Mega Man's Electric Sheep · Jan 22, 2015

Looks like they're both going to be 3GB downloads.

I think the classic mode is just the ride-together-in-a-car mode without Bowser fucking things up.

The Amiibo boards seem to let you move around individually though.

More great big news from the Big N.

GayForMaster · Jan 22, 2015

Goddamn I hate Nintendo's obsession with rock. Kirby Triple Deluxe had a pretty damn good OST and was really enjoyable. I hope Rainbow Curse doesn't consist mostly of rehashed music remixed into rock.

Same here. Best Buy GC for the next two years for me!

Rurunaki · Jan 22, 2015

Will wait for Fossil Fighter to drop in price. Very interested though.

Vena · Jan 22, 2015

Wait. MP10 is also discounted? It's only $49.99?

Have you not visited the Kirby stream thread?... the music is amazing.

me0wish · Jan 22, 2015

Wish Nintendo would have nice discounts, I bought 400$ worth of eshop cards when they were 20% off, adding ddp gets me another 10%.

This made me buy games I wasn't really hyped for like Hyrule warriors.

Nintendo needs all they can to make sales...

...Even though this would most likely be a million seller regardless. That is kinda weird.

I think this price differentiation might be explained by what the Amiibo's do in the game as they do unlock the Amiibo Mode which, while a boring square, is still a mode of the game and, possibly, the closest we can get to Classic MP. Since MP10 + Amiibo = Full Retail.

They did the same with World Tour where the DLC (priced at 15$) unlocked/added another 50% to the game (mind, the game was already complete and on par with previous Mario Golfs in terms of launch content), but the retail price was 29.99$ as opposed to 39.99$.

Would be strange to see that naming dichotomy again if the Nintendo 7 was called like, Ultra Famicom / Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System depending on the region.

I don't think there was any chance of it being called TOUCH! Kirby Super Rainbow in the west. They usually give pretty good names though.

Eh, I like digital, it really is convenient to just start up a game on the game pad on a whim.

PreyingShark · Jan 22, 2015

Glad that FF:F is confirmed for $30.

Do we know yet if it's Mugen Gear or Zoryo Mugen Gear? (For those who don't know, Zoryo has 10 extra vivosaurs and had a very limited digital release in Japan, via Corocoro. IIRC it cost slightly more than the vanilla version of the game, too)
