Forums - Nintendo - Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker listed for $39.99

EB Australia lists it as $80... (usual new release Wii U title price).

I am hoping it is less, but I hope even more that Big W/Target once again release it as $64 like they have been doing for a while now.

OMG, how do people afford games there?!?

Highly doubt this will be a day one purchase for me. I'm at least glad this game won't be at the $60 price tag.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Australians get paid higher wages, but everything is much more expensive for no reason.

PS4 RRP is $550, sale price is about $480

EB wants $109 for new release PS4 games, but luckily other stores have them for about $90 on release.

With great difficulty. (Also second hand and trade-ins)

Wow. My parents actually got a good job offer there a few months ago but they didn't want to go cause they thought Australia was too far away from everywhere else. Maybe it was better cause it looks like you save very little money there.

I seem to take this news the opposite way to many others. The fact it isn't just a cheap eshop game gives me hope. I'd rather pay more for something more sizeable.



TOO MUCH!!!!!!! $20, or bust.

Well that is one very strong reason right there. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/08/19/the-u-s-has-a-7-25-minimum-wage-australias-is-16-88/

Divide the price by minimum wage and you'll see you are not paying that much more. 

OT: Am sure there will be a Direct for fall release dates, prices and other info about the upcoming games and amibos. 



Saves me a few bucks at launch, can't argue with that
