minus-squarewoelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 months ago A 14 year old game releases at full price. God Nintendo is the worst It seems to reuse the more furry player models from Tropical Freeze which is only 10 years young. ☝️🤓
minus-squaresubignition@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down3·4 months agoBut that’s not full price. Full price is $70 now. :(
minus-squareCaptainEffort@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·4 months agoDepends on if the publisher is scummy or not. BG3 and Elden Ring were $60. Even then tho, this game was $60 back in 2010. Releasing for the same price 14 years later is insane, not even EA would pull that.
minus-squaresubignition@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down3·edit-24 months agoI mean, technically, it’s cheaper now because of inflation, but that’s more pedantic than even I care to be but yeah, last few nintendo games have been $70 I think so there have been rumors that it’s the new norm for the big N
minus-squarekinkles@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 months agoLast few? I just browsed the front page of the Eshop and there was only one $70 Nintendo title.
minus-squaresubignition@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoI know totk was one, I guess I just assumed that a few more had come out at that price point
minus-squareCaptainEffort@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·4 months agoEh, the inflation argument never moved me for a variety of reasons. But either way, if that’s true then the first part of my comment applies.
minus-squareNarrativeBear@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoYup with inflation the $60 would be somewhere between $80-85 dollars equivalent in buying power. So its technically cheaper. $60 today is $40-45, 14 years ago.
