Update 3: Pre-orders are closed off again, likely to correct the error.

Update 2: Back up for pre-order on Amazon here. The main price error has been fixed, as it’s now $40. However, if you have Prime, the error is still there, and you can save $16 (thanks Steven L). This will likely be addressed soon.

Update: Amazon has closed off pre-orders, unsurprisingly.

Original: Amazon now has the Switch version of Rime up for pre-order. We heard that this version of the game will be $40, but the retailer is currently offering it for $30. It’s undoubtedly a price error and one that will be fixed soon, but for now you can save $10 here.

When The Legend of Zelda originally came out here in the west nearly 30 years ago, Nintendo accidentally included an extra “N” in one of the game’s text lines. It took some time for folks to notice, but the NES Classic Edition version of Zelda finally corrects this.

Zelda was re-released in a collection on GameCube and many times over on the Virtual Console. For the NES Classic Edition, Nintendo finally decided it was time to address it. It may not be the biggest thing out there, but it’s interesting to see the error corrected after so many years.
