I'm fine with Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom having a $70 price point. amirite?

i feel like NES games cost around $70 in today's money. i seem to remember the story of how much Super Mario 3 cost when it first came out (though i couldn't find any information on that). i remember paying $80 for TUROK on N64 back in like 1999. $80 in '99 is way more money than $70 in '23.

Fellow Turok enjoyer, yeah, I paid that too. Turok 2 cost me even more, as I got the expansion pak. (Ram upgrade) with it as well.

Having paid $50 for Ocarina of Time, it's pretty reasonable.

I'd pay that if I was interested in the game, it looks very much like the first game, and I already played a ton of that. It's so weird that we've barely even seen the game so far, and I wonder if that's because there's a ton of reusing assets. After playing a million shrines in the first game that all have the same aesthetic and fighting the same kinds of enemies over and over, I'm just not interested at this point, it looks like a lot of the same.

Yeah I never understood this mentality, especially for good games you can easily sink over a hundred hours into. You're getting so much entertainment value for the price of three movies at the theater.

I'm not American so I can't talk about exactly what $70 for this sounds like but I don't think it's overpriced. It's usual price comparing to other video games in my area.

Companies can charge what they want. No one makes you buy. It's not it's food, rent, and healthcare? It's just that 70 is lot to spend to find you don't like a game. I used to play five or six games before I found one I loved.

As long as the price lowers over time, I agree.

Given i won't ever give Nintendo a single penny for its stuff I don't even want to spend something like 70-80€ for a game, no matter how good it is. I mostly don't feel the need to play a game at Day1. I can afford to wait entire months, while a game reaches that sweet 25-40€ price.
