| Renna Hazel said: Kind of a bummer, but at least the cost of first party games doesn't seem to be any higher than normal. Hopefully costs can come down soon. Also, these aren't cartridges. |
Breath of the Wild price is the same on WiiU and Switch... plus the eShop price is a whooping 70€ in Europe.
What do you mean these aren't cartridges? You mean carts?

That's what I thought of initially, specially since these prices are coming from third parties. I remember examples back in the Wii launch, even a year after that, i.e. SEGA was charging 60€ for Mario & Sonic at the Olympics... and Wii games were 50€ back then.
