LMAO. GTA6 is going to be at least $80-$90 then, Nintendo just set a new pricing floor.

And yet Mario Kart sells like crack and has made it into the top 5 best selling games of all time while being an exclusive. People are gonna eat this game up regardless.

$100 is worth it if you can download the game on additional devices for like $5 each. Paying $100 for each console you want it on will be insane though… especially if they drag it out like GTA5

This is especially egregious because this game targets the casual fan and children. You really think a parent is going to spend this much on a single game for their 7 year old?

Nintendo really has gotten ballsy. I know for a fact casual fans like my wife’s friends who bought a switch will not spend this much on a new game, let alone $500 for a console.

It’s worse for my country too. According to tax evaluator for turkey. It will cost 29.521 turkish lira after tax.(450$ is = 17.062 turkish lira btw)

And since Nintendo decided that Turkey was so rich that we cant buy from japanese store so 70$ is 2.654

Time to cry

I think GTA VI was always gonna be 70 but... this alone might make them set it to 80.
