[Belthazar]

Was this known? I just came across this and that's insane.

[Serge85]

Worth it!

 

[Doom85]

Nintendo be like:

 

[That Damn Kid]

Currently $60 at Gamestop, Best Buy and Amazon....for now

EDIT: Amazon and Best Buy listings delisted LOL!!!

 

[Northeastmonk]

That’s a ballsy move Nintendo.

 

[Belthazar]

That's actually insane

 

[Yoshi97]

Worth it for Zelda, but wasn't expecting 70 buck switch games til switch 2 era..

 

[th4tguy]

This is totally nuts unless there is a next gen version.

 

[Fermbiz]

I paid $free99 for BotW. Well worth the price for the that shit game.

 

[RoboFu]

Cereal is $8 , eggs are $6, my electric bill has gone up $100.

Inflation my man..

 

[Housh]

What you thought it was DLC?

 

[feynoob]

Nintendo+Xbox+Sony.

 

[Jennings]

I liked the first game on WiiU ($49.99), but I'm not paying $70 for a 30fps Switch game. I'm 100% positive the game will be amazing and it will be both a critical and commercial hit, but I can wait forever for a better price, new or used, if need be.

Inflation apparently wasn't there when Sony increased their next-gen +$100m budgeted games to $70.

 

[analog_future]

 

[Buggy Loop]

I mean yea.. they know it will sell like nuts with the switch userbase.

 

[jshackles]

I'm not paying $70 for a Switch game, sorry.

 

[popsicle_sundays]

I'm not paying $70 for a Switch game, sorry.

Same. I can’t justify a 30 fps, most likely ~720p game for $70.

 

[EDMIX]

The deep, deep lolz.

Why would they give a shit if some of you are mad its this price? Holy shit, have you seen how high they keep their fucking games? So this should be a shock to no one lol

So they'll put it at this price cause they already know this fanbase will buy it regardless. I image those that even buy Nintendo games are use to paying so much money in general.

They literally just PORTED Donkey Kong TF over and charged full price.

Why would this be shocking? lol I'm more shocked they didn't do this sooner tbh

 

[OverHeat]

Not buying….who am I kidding day 1

 

[Sleepwalker]

I'm not paying $70 for a Switch game, sorry.

Yup, I haven't even beaten breath of the wild lol.

Will just borrow it from a friend down the line and that'll be that.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

I'll buy it. I'll wish it was cheaper like every game I buy. I'm not going to not buy it though.

 

[Rudius]

Nintendo was late for DLCs, patches, HD remasters, payed online and now 70 dollars games.

 

[TexMex]

Probably an error on their website. Every retailer still has this listed as 59.99, Nintendo has made no mention of it at all and the game comes out in 90 days. Everyone come off the ledge until you see something official.

 

[Trunx81]

Next: LootBox Mario

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Should have been $99

 

[Gorgyles]

Tears fall on keyboard
I'll pay any price for it

 

[Elysion]

Worth it for Zelda, but wasn't expecting 70 buck switch games til switch 2 era..

Switch 2 to launch alongside TotK confirmed?!

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'll keep my 70€, will get it later second hand or maybe some fren can lend it to me.

I'm sorry but with the insane amount of games I want to play that I already own I can't justify paying 70€ for another one.

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[skyfall]

Worth it

 

[Beechos]

Matter of time all games go from 59.99 to 69.99 at this point.

 

[nial]

70$ for what is basically a PS4 game in terms of graphics, image quality and performance, lol.

 

[jshackles]

Good point, just put in a pre-order on Amazon for $60 just in case. Worst case scenario, I cancel before it ships.

I used websites like this during sales to get them for cheap.

I know digital nintendo is bad.

Nintendo reading these posts:

 

[AJUMP23]

I paid the same price for Mario64, it was worth it.

 

[Kacho]

 

[jigglet]

Hum, I pre-ordered and pre-paid for the entire thing for my nephew's birthday. Shipping paid too, so I won't even get a chance to see any employees. I've never been in this situation in my 30 years of gaming. I wonder how this is going to play out.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

$70 for a handheld title is kinda nuts.

I'm quite used to this kind of websites for getting my PC games, but gotta be honest I never considered using them for anything else let alone Switch games.

So yeah, thanks! I'll make sure to check those out once the game is closer to being released, might get lucky and snatch a key at a lower price.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Probably drops a jaw dropping trailer tomorrow and i would wager they are confident the hype will be ridiculous.


I'll pay $70 for that easy

 

[vodka-bull]

Didn‘t expect less tbh

 

[balls of snow]

Haha wow

 

[LectureMaster]

It's okay, you'll be able to resale it for 70 bucks even two years after release.

 

[jigglet]

It's okay, you'll be able to resale it for 70 bucks even two years after release.

Bullshit, after ebay fees you won't pocket more than $69.50.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Zelda: OoT was $59.99 25 years ago. $69.99 doesn’t seem so bad.

Or just preorder it from Amazon for $59.99. Problem solved!

 

[LordCBH]

$70 for a ps3 ass looking game. Fuck off nintendo. It’s not even in a new system you chucklefucks.
