Prices would not be unified, and that will be for the best. Cheaper 20-30€ games can coexist with 50-60€ games, there's no need to price everthing at the same value. And this is more important for digital and its discounts.

In Europe and Japan you already have Nintendo Wii U games that are 40, 50 and 60 euros. But here is a point for instance what price will be for MK9 for NX handheld and what price for MK9 NX home console will be.



I know, and that trend should continue. And if the games are the same, there's no reason to price different versions at different prices.





You know it deserves the GOTY.

I think it will depend of the series. I don't see Smash or MK going fo less than 50€ if they only sell one version, but I can see traditional 2D Mario games at 40€, just because of the existence of Mario Maker.

That's a tough question. One of my biggest doubts about Nintendo unifying both hardware games is that right now A LOT of people double dip with the games, and if they unify them it'll probably mean less sales worldwide, so maybe they start selling their games more expensive to recover some of that loss? Or do you think they still sell game for NX hh and NX console even if they are the same game?

Nowadays I can find almost any wii u game from 29,90-45,90€ and that is just perfect. Most 3ds games are 32€ on average which I find a little bit too much compared to the wii u price.
For NX all I can hope for is they lower the price a little, or as it has been rumoured, they give discounts for the nintendo account or something.

It would be unfair to force owners that have only NX handheld to pay $60 for a game.

Precisely 
The RRP for Yoshi's Yarn and Mario PArty 10 is $49.99, MArio Maker is $59.99 and Captain Toad and Kirby are $39.99.

I Imagine premium handheld games like Pokemon will see a hike in price, whereas bite sized console games like Captain Toad will fall in price.

You're probably right with this but even a jump from $39.99 - $59.99 for people who are big handheld fans wouldn't go down to well with them.





There's no such thing as unified library but we should see crossbuy for the ones that get the smash for wii u and 3ds treatment.



In Japan, there are games that are coming both for PSVITA and PS4 and the PS4 version costs 1000 or 2000Yen more.

1000Yen is 8.26 dollars or 7.5 euros.

For example, take a look at Gundam Breaker 3 that is coming out next month in Japan

Gundam Breaker 3 PS4 - 8208yen

Gundam Breaker 3 PSVITA - 7344yen

Both versions have the exact some content. The only difference is that PS4 will have better graphics and resolution.
