$10 to replay it, replay meaning you already have the switch version. Or free if you have switch online expansion pack. It’s only going to set you back 90 (instead of 80) if you’ve never owned it and you want it on switch 2
I think breath of the wild has always been overpriced lol. And it’s not news that Nintendo rarely ever discounts their older games. But the vast majority of people who are gonna want to play it on switch 2 already own a copy ( I hope).
I wonder what this’ll do to the price of used physical copies
This pricing is why Nintendo doesn’t want emulation of its games, while other companies don’t give a shit because they either figured out how to port their shit over to PC or did a multiplatform release to begin with. Steam was the largest reason piracy for games has literally shrunk and why so many from the scene stopped. Make it cheap and easy to get the game, no need for people to pirate it. Nintendo did the exact opposite and has tried and tried to keep it on a closed platform…yet it’s one of the most emulated company out there.

Probably nothing. The used prices aren’t necessarily reduced based on the retail price of the new copy, but by the supply vs the demand. If they have hella supply and no demand, they will still be heavily discounted.
I’ve been wanting to play botw so I tried it on cemu awhile back but couldn’t get it to work. I’ll have to try it again and see if I can figure out what I was doing wrong.
$90 to replay a 8 year old wiiu game. Why would anyone?
As relevant now as it was over a decade ago.

Isn’t that crazy?

Not if you bought it on the WiiU like I did.
Yeah! I forgot it was on the wiiu that actually how I played it too. I later got a switch and played through it again though.
I bought a physical copy of BotW while I was living Japan. My Nintendo account is U.S. My copy of TotK is Digital to boot.
Fuck me, right? lol. What an ass hole I am!
Nintendo fanboys are notorious suckers
There are lots of people with disposable income who don’t have the technical capability to pirate.
I played it six years ago, but with a better experience than switch 2… thank you, cemu

Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a Switch, once manufacturing ceases.
Nintendo famously never discounts. But this is actually Nintendo’s way of not only never discounting, but increasing the price over time.
A new one, but pretty soon the market will be flooded with second hand switches
I wouldn’t pay $90 for it, but Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition was definitely fun enough to keep playing.
