    €69.99 on Smyths site right now with a preorder price promise that's the highest you will pay now but if you don't preorder then price on the day will be potentially higher.

    I myself still buy my boxed games exclusively in shops, It's 4 and a week months away and I don't think there will be an availability shortage of it but it depends what Smyths and GameStops situations are come May.


    Argos will still potentially be open in some areas but who knows how many if any they'll have.

    Given the total pap that sells on the Xbox and Playstation consoles at €70 on release, I don't think the same price for a game that will, let us face it, be the game of 2023 and a seminal title for years to come is too much.

    We’ll be back to N64 era prices.

    Furukawa was talking after Nintendo's latest financial results and said:


    "The Kyoto-based company does not plan to raise software or game console prices, but would consider doing so if circumstances demanded it, Furukawa said. He declined to comment when asked whether the company was considering a successor to the six-year old Switch."

    Maybe the US is coming in line with our prices with Europe. The price hike was on the Canadian eShop as well, which makes it seem less like an error. And I've read that Amazon, Gamestop and Best Buy have paused pre-orders since, having previously been available for $60.

    Maybe the price posted was for the Switch 2 version which will launch around the same time as the Switch version. 😃

    GameStop and Smyths show a preorder up for €69.99. Same as BOTW.

    If I divide BOTW’s price by the number of hours I played it, then it’s one of the cheapest game per hour I’ve ever bought.

    Same. That an Ocarina. And Horace, which cost me 2 euro.

    Played it twice. I never play a game twice. Played the DLC. Kids have played it, still playing it ... I still stop to watch them play it. It's like an interactive wall painting with beautiful relaxing music.

    By comparison, that new Pokémon game is like a crappy circus gone AWOL in the house.

    Only a lunatic would complain about the price of BOTW.

    As for TOTK. Depends how much new gameplay/content we get.

    Looking at the trailer there looks to be at least some overlap between the 2 games. Hopefully not too much.

    I was thinking the exact same. At a rough tot, I’ve sunk over 400 hours into BOTW. That’s 15 cents an hour for some of the most rewarding entertainment I’ve ever experienced. Where else would you get value like that. Even if TOTK is half the game of it’s predecessor, I’d happily pay 70 quid for. And Nintendo know it, the cruel mistress that they are 😆

    Anyone else secretly hoping that the reason we haven't seen any footage recently is that Nintendo are gonna do a bait and switch... TOTK is now going to be in Links Awakening style?

    If the price really is going up extortionately we better get a guest announcement from that now mid forties rascal Tingle explaining he needs those Rupees.

    They've doubled the number of Korak seeds to justify the price increase.

    Replaced the slate with the glove/arm as if the slate was the game's version of the Wii U controller.

    USD$69.99 is a go. But seems the price isn’t increasing for Europe so it’ll be €69.99

    The collectors edition seems lacklustre for $130... A few pins, poster, art book and steel case...

    Can be sure even that picture of the collection will be analysed down to the smallest detail.

    Is there anywhere we can pre-book the Link amiibo yet? I've checked Smyths, Amazon and GameStop this morning but no joy.

    I see it's included in the vouchers if you want the digital version. So can save money that way if you plan on getting another game as well at some point.

    I ordered the TOTK collectors edition from Smyths (100€), just need to get a console by then!

    What are the chances of a Zelda-themed OLED Switch? Would it have been announced by now if there was one or have previous Switch consoles been announced closer to the release of a game?
