Forums - Nintendo - Splatoon is not only $60 in the United States

Splatoon costs 40$ in my country

I will never understand why here in Europe we have it at 30-40 euro and you guys have it at 50-60.



false, splatoon is almost 360$ for 70% of people ! :O

:(

I dont think its worth $60 as it lacks content and efforts needed to develop this game is not a AAA standard. Any AA or Indie related team can do this game so it should be priced around $30-40 most not AAA game price.


Oh really? Really now? Please tell me everything about their team, their efforts, their tech, their crunch times, their salaries, their previous experience, and then show me 20 indie teams that, with all of the previous information, can do this game. Should be pretty easy for you, right?



don't you guys have a site that compares prices in stores? Here in Sweden we have a site called "prisjakt.se" that compares all the prices we have and so we can always get the lowest price.

besides that we have a price "garanti" which means that even if you buy it at a high price and find it at a lower price you can get back the differences depending on how many days you have before that offer is over.

I'll bring one counter point to your attention.  It may have only a 6 hour campain, and, i think, 6 multiplayer levels, but i've been playing this game for a few weeks now.  My basic rule of thumb is if i put more than 20hrs into a game, then it was worth the 60 bucks.  Ive probably put 40 hours into this game for one reason alone.  It's creative.  It feels fresher (no pun intended) than anything i've played in a  loooooong time as far as multiplayers go.  For it's creativity and innovation it's worth the 60$.  I went into this game having no biases one way or another and simply hoping i wouldn't be wasting my money on a game i 'd be bored of quickly.  I've been pleasantly surprised so far.  This game is way more fun than it should be.

I think Splatoon is worth $60 but...

This game "Under development since october 2013, created and developed by 3 young independant developers" might be a good example: Hover Revolt of Gamers. It is a futuristic 3D parkour game in an openworld.

The base tech and core gameplay is usually, even in AAA games, made by very few people. Its the content, polish and bugsquashing that takes all the time. That trailer really doesn't show anything special, in that regard. It still looks nice, for sure, but that doesn't mean much.
