Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Diablo III Eternal Collection officially announced for Switch, coming this fall

Gotta love that $60 price tag for a game that will be over 80 f***ing months old when it launches. Ludicrous. Meanwhile, Sega shows how shit like this can be done by releasing a full remakes like Kiwami 1 and 2, and remasters like Valkyria Chronicles on the PS4 for $30. In steelbook cases no less. It's a good addition to the Switch's library and all, but Jesus tapdancing Christ. Nice price.

Wanna have a shot at comparing content available in these games? I'll wait.

Oh really? How did you come to your conclusion before I responded?

I agree.  And, really, I think the ridiculous pricing of many Switch games is my biggest complaint about the system.  As an owner of multiple systems, it is very hard for me to pick up a multiplat on Switch when it is either more expensive, has dialed back performance, or both, compared to other systems.

Yeah, and those are things a multi console may want to weigh when choosing what system to buy their multiplats on. This though, is a particularly egregious example of price gouging. The market bears prices like this with Nintendo software from the Wii-U. Will the same be true for a third party title that's much older? I had a similar, but less strong opinion with DCKTF several months ago, thinking it maybe should cost less. I think I even compared it to the same Sega games. Ha. This isn't a Nintendo game though, and it's positively ancient. Off the top of my head, the only other example I can think of that's as bad as this is the BulletStorm: Full Clip Edition. It also launched at full price, and was just slightly shorter ( 73 months ) in the duration of time between its initial release and the launch of its remaster.

The price is a bit too steep, I agree. That being said, it's actually $60 on PS and Xbox too: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0002-CUSA00242_00-D3ETERNALCOLL000

Guess it's like a GTA V/Skyrim/Nintendo game where the can charge full price and it will sell anyways. Again, I'm not defending the price, just saying that they do it cause it still sells.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Oh snap. I had absolutely no idea that this was out on the other systems too and thought this was a Switch exclusive package. So this is, what, the THIRD edition available for the PS4/XBO? I have the Ultimate Evil Edition, but paid $40 for it in Canada, which is equivalent to $30 US. Still too expensive.

I hope this game isn't story-heavy. Just let me get to the ass-kicking.

Skip it all. Cringe worthy and stupid.

PS: The game is amazing though. Day 1.

Okay, will do! Thanks!
