Nintendo says not all first-party game will be $70 going forward
Not all...but some
Nintendo gave Switch owners a bit of sticker shock today when they revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be $70. That has quite a few fans worrying that all first party titles will be $70 going forward, but thankfully, that’s not the case.
Game Informer managed to get a statement from Nintendo on the matter. Nintendo was quick to say that they, “determine the suggested retail price for any Nintendo product on a case-by-case basis.” When asked if this would be a trend going forward, Nintendo responded with a clear-cut “no.”
In other words, there will be more $70 games from Nintendo down the line, but don’t expect every title to fall into that category.

In fairness, Nintendo also released simple Wii U ports on Switch for $10 more :)
The discounted Prime remaster is out of character.
