Nintendo made it official today that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $70, but that doesn’t mean it’s a sign of things to come. Game Informer managed to get a couple of comments from the company about the situation that may clarify things slightly.

As for why the new Zelda game is priced the way it is, Nintendo simply stated: “We determine the suggested retail price for any Nintendo product on a case-by-case basis.” Game Informer also asked if this is the trend for Nintendo games in the future, to which the Big N said: “No. We determine the suggested retail price for any Nintendo product on a case-by-case basis.”

Posted on 1 year ago by Tom in Previews, Switch, Videos | 0 comments

Nintendo recently held a short media preview demo for Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe ahead of its upcoming release on Switch. The original Wii game is an all-time Kirby classic, so having it on the hybrid platform at all is compelling. Set to release on February 24, 2023, the title is soon to hit store shelves without us knowing a ton about what’s new.

In this video preview, Sam and I have an in-depth discussion about some of the game’s new features, visuals, and gameplay. We’ve included further bulleted highlights below.

Nintendo lists The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $70

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Original (2/7): A listing for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo’s website is receiving a lot of attention at the moment for its price point. Assuming it’s accurate, the game could go for $70. This would be significant as we have yet to see any Nintendo game reach that amount in the United States.

Right now we only have the listing to go on and Nintendo hasn’t shared any statement about the situation. It’s possible that it could be a mistake, but it’s impossible to tell currently. Worth noting, various retailers still have the $60 price point – you can reserve the game on Amazon, Best Buy, or GameStop.
