As revealed with Yoshi some time ago, Nintendo now has a price split for their games between digital and phyisical, and I remember having conversations with some people here about what that actually meant, I have seen praise for Nintendo making games digital cheaper, but when I compared to Switch 2 games released before the price split in Europe, it instead started matching Europe physical prices in euros, while they used to be $10 less in dollars compared to euros.

Well, the new Fire Emblem game is confirmed to be $70 digital and $80 physical as per IGN: https://www.ign.com/articles/fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-sets-standard-physical-price-at-80

We have already confirmed that the price for digital in euros is also 70. I don't know if there is confirmation for physical there but the pattern is that it'll be 80 euros, 10 more than digital, as usual for euro pricing.

Mario Kart World was 80 euros digital and 90 euros phisical. Fire Emblem is not an equivalent to Mario Kart World, it's an equivalent to Donkey Kong Bananza, which was 70 euros digital and 80 euros physical. Which likely means that IF there is still a game to come like Mario Kart World, like a new mainline Zelda for example, that has a price tag of $80 for digital, that could cost $90 physical in the USA.

So there it is, before the split a game costing $70 digital would also cost $70 physical in the USA, but now it costs $80 physical. Comparision between games and regions was valid and pointed towards this outcome from the moment the split was announced.

EU/UK it seems to be priced like a $70 title for Physical. It's cheaper than Mario Kart World here in the UK.

But yes in the USA it's $80 physical, not sure why USA is getting shafted with pricing on this one.

Seems fair, $70 digital is the going rate for new games, the added price of the blank SD cards for physical games vs cheap blu ray medium.

I paid 60€ for Yoshi physical. I will buy this physical too. Convenience of digital yada yada it's cheaper yada yada, whatever you have. I still buy physical. Mostly. 

Im sure theres a lot of content in the game, but Im not sure this is the franchise you should ask premium prices for. I would rather watch paint dry than play this game, so Im good, but we`ll see how the fans respond to it.

Boy that's a chonky Spyro avatar, lol.

Nintendo should have just used cheaper carts that need to install, then there wouldn't be a $10 premium and key cards wouldn't exist.

Plus the loading times on the carts are still slower than internal/SD express anyway.

Expensive SW2 Carts with optional key cards were a mistake.

i love $80 games i love them sooooo much

Welp, seeing that price point, now I'm expecting the next Xenoblade game to be priced at this pricepoint unless a miracle ...

But hey, I need my Fire Emblem fix after the Engage fiasco that absolutely made me not want to play that.
The Koei Tecmo team which worked on this one seems more apt at making better or at least interesting FE games.

I prefer $90 but dream about $100
