It looks like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom might be Nintendo’s first first-party game to feature a price increase when it goes on sale. Recently, the US Nintendo eShop accidentally revealed the price of the game when it was made available. $69.99.
This ad was later pulled, but this price increase was not seen only in the United States. A Canadian Twitter user posted that the game appeared on his country’s eShop $89.99 Canadianwhich would correspond to the American price.
Considering that Sony and Xbox have also raised the price of their first-party titles, it wouldn’t be a stretch for Nintendo to do the same. There are also those who will consider The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom worth that price, especially if it turns out to be the last big release for Switch.
In the case of Spain, stores like Amazon already list the game for advance purchase at a price of 69.99 euros, although at this time you can make the reservation with a slight discount. This may be one of the aspects to have its own space among tonight’s Nintendo Direct announcements, in addition to justifying the salary increase for Nintendo employees in Japan.
Are you ready to pay the equivalent of 70 euros for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
