Forums - Nintendo - Is DKC:TF more expensive in Canada?

So I was looking at the Wii U Eshop and I saw DKC: TF listed as $54.99, I use the Canada Eshop.

Wasn't this game supposed to be $50, what's the deal?

That's what happens when you choose the Alberta region. You did it to get the lowest taxes right? Stinky pirate.

Nintendo secretly hates Canada. Those bastards..

Well that sucks. I'm "glad" it's only a $5 difference and not higher. In any case, the games could be $70 and it would still be cheaper than buying them physical in my country...

$55 (CAD) x $0.90 (USD) =  $49.5 (USD)

CAD = Canadian Dollar

USD = United States Dollar

Since the Canadian dollar is currently only worth 90 cents American they changed the price.  If you're not from Canada you're basically paying the same price since the credit card conversion would be around the same as if you paid $50 USD.



u should see the Australian prices and our dollar isn't that far from the us
