It's because third party publishers are greedy. You really think a "remaster" of a game no one asked for is worth € 50? That's basically the price of a brand new game.

Considering many other Publishers have released remasters at full price, this is already a much better deal.

Those games add new things, this one doesn't (for the Switch version). 

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe added 5 new Battle Modes with 8 brand new Battle Maps, new characters, new vehicles, increased resolution and all DLC included. Pokkén Tournament Deluxe adds increased resolution, 5 new fighters, new arenas, new battle mode and some other minor stuff like daily challenges.  

LA Noire is a rip-off.

I'll take his knowledge more seriously than supposedly 'experts' on here trying to downplay the switch by over exaggerating its price.

While the price hike is noticeable in 3rd party profit margins, its not unreasonable considering this technology is still a little more expensive to make. I understand why they up the price, but I think its greed that brings them to $10 instead of $5.

 

Adding it for more perspective. :)

My flop senses tell me this is gonna bomb.

I think the same 

Hopefully they consider porting GTA 5 on the Switch , I think that has a way better chance to sell well.

These costs are bound to go down eventually, this is still not even close to the prices of N64 carts vs CD's at the time.

Yeah, perspective... 60% sounds like a lot, but what is the real difference here? 1.5$ VS 2.4$ or something similar? For a game that costs 10$ more... The usuals blaming the usuals as usual.

Funny how you think I'm talking about Nintendo. Don't be so defensive.

Im pretty sure hes talking about everything (packaging, licencing fee from Sony/ MS/ Nintendo + the cart).

If it costs you $10 for a PS4 game, then the Switch will cost you $16 I guess. The same 'insider' claimed that 32gb carts cost publishers more than $20. If we assume it costs them $24, than a PS4 disc is costing you $15. A $9 difference.

See, that $10 increase in price now makes sense to the publisher. 

Official breakdowns of 60$ games put the cost of packaging, materials, shipping, and platform fees at $11.  When you factor out shipping and other bits and bobs that would be unaffected, you are looking at a $5 increase probably.  And that's assuming no advantages from buying larger numbers of carts, no benefits from being close in ties with the publisher, none of that.  And that's only for a 32 GB cart.

And no, the same insider that gave the 60% number did NOT give the $20, that was a number that, from what I can tell, was pulled right out of some publication's ass.

So as I said about a thousand times, costs are higher.  Not $10 higher.  It's barely over half that in the worst case scenario.

We're talking about remasters on the Nintendo Switch. For LA Noire to be competitive it needs to have the same high standards as Nintendo. Otherwise they will flop.

This is why so often things are 10$ more expensive.... its nintendo's doing, not 3rd party.
