    Last two Nintendo releases, Star Fox and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book are respectively priced $50 and $60. Splatoon Raiders will be $50.

    Although given, the physical versions are $10 more expensive.

      Star Fox is a Remake from a franchise that is not a main franchise currently, Yoshi Mysterious Book is a 2D game. For these type of games Nintendo tends to sell them cheaper than the market full price for AAA games. With Splatoon Raiders, I’m actually surprised. Nintendos pricing isn’t just about the game content itself, but also how appealing the franchise itself is. In example that’s why Mario Kart World launched at 80 (which is a shame in my opinion). If Nintendo can melk the players, they will. Palworld would have a huge appeal to Pokemon fans (regardless of its gameplay loop) and a wider range of interest than Star Fox or Yoshi. It wouldn’t make sense in my opinion to sell the game for cheaper price, if they could get away with 70.

          What do you mean? You brought up these games. I did not move any goalposts. What is the issue now you have?
