Been waiting for a new 2d Zelda game since link awakening was rereleased. So far it looks interesting. The only issue I can see with this game is that it to is going to be $79.99 CAD and from what I’ve seen it’s so not going to be worth that. Hoping for a $49.99 or $59.99 CAD price tag, but this is Nintendo.
The Link's Awakening remake got released at full price, so there is a 0% chance this will be a budget title even though it probably in reality should be.
Do you get vouchers?
I find buying vouchers brings the per-title cost down to au$67.5.
In comparison Sony is charging au$125 for a 1st party title like the last of us part 1 so Nintendo feels like they are priced competitively.
We do, but they aren't that good of a deal, especially since you can get the same discount... if not more, if you buy used. And you can sell the game when you are done rather than being stuck with digital.
That said, outside of Nintendo, who rarely if ever discount their games, most games on modern systems get heavily discounted months if not a year after they come out. You are a fool if you buy the latest Ubisoft Game new since it's usually $15-$30 before it's been on-sale for a year. Even Sony first party IP, I got most of them for $10-$20 a pop new or digital, since I bought in at the tail end of the PS4 generation.
