@WWEdeadman @JoeMerrick Yes that’s what Nintendo is charging for Flagship for Physical in Europe. But the confusing part is that some accounts are trying to imply that they will sell WiWa for 80 USD in US, when those same Nintendo games priced at 80 Euros were priced 70 USD in the US.
English
@JoeMerrick "in no way indicative"
Pretty sure they're not gonna be significantly less. Look at what Nintendo is charging for their other flagship series.
English
So let's talk about this because people are, naturally, going nuts.
Amazon have put a placeholder price so they can take preorders. If they highball it and it's lower, great. If they lowball and it's higher, they have to fulfil.
This is in no way indicative of actual price.

@rawrdom @JoeMerrick We don’t have an instance of a proper full premier title yet and it’s pricing under the new strategy. Yoshi, Splatoon and Starfox are all being positioned as Budget price. Once Nintendo starts to price premier titles then we can properly ascertain the pattern.
English
@JoeMerrick Sounds like you're coming up with abritary rules just to not accept this - but we have more than 4 NS2 editions that have launched at a consistent $ to € ratio, thanks to them not enacting the Digital/Physical price split on those - all of which are full price
English
This is a good point actually.
Vast majority of first party Switch 2 games in Europe retail at €80 while in the US they're $70.
Various people online (such as Centro) have been doing direct $ = € conversion when that hasn't actually been the case
Tobi@TobiYume
@JoeMerrick people just see the number and not the currency symbol and immediately assume it will be 80$, when every switch 2 first party game (except mario kart) before Yoshi has been 80€ for the physical version in germany, so amazon just assumed it would be the same for gen 10
English
@Niarval @Sunne_Three Yes good point! I was just talking about the recommended retail price but seems like many stores sell below it.
English
@Beem1121277Beem @Sunne_Three To be fair you can generally get it for cheaper in stores.
Like the switch 2 edition of ZA go for 52€
English
You can really tell TPC and Gamefreak genuinely believe they deserve to live and not get merged out of existence

@CentroLeaks Not sure the obsession with engagement baiting. No one knows how NoA will price premier titles under the new pricing strategy. You could’ve framed the tweet with more uncertainty about US pricing instead of implying like it’s basically 80.
English
Pokémon Winds & Waves pre-orders are now open in Amazon Germany. The games will cost physically €79.99 according to the store.
If accurate that would also mean $79.99 in the US.
English
@CentroLeaks You’re spreading information without even having any concrete details of how Nintendo is pricing Flagship titles. Just because NOA matched pricing with NoE for budget games. Does not indicate how they’ll price for big games. Wait until OOT remake’s price before you doom 💀
English
@CentroLeaks I said Flagship Nintendo games NOT budget priced . You are saying that 80 Euros Physical would imply 80 USD, when most 80 EURO physical games were priced 70 USD in the US. Yoshi, Splatoon and Starfox are not being priced as Flagship. So yes you should correct
English
@NerdiestNic @NontendoPodcast *70 Euros Digital and 80 Euros Physical
Español
@NerdiestNic @NontendoPodcast This is the same price for all flagship Nintendo games in Europe. The physical 10 Euros more as well. For example age of Imprisonment is 70 Euros Digital and 80 Euros Digital. Same with DK Bananza. MKW is 90 Euros Physical and 80 Euros Digital.
English
@Sunne_Three Also Nintendo prices the games in Europe. They are the publisher of the game around the word except for Japan, where TPC publishes. GF would have no say in pricing here

English
@CentroLeaks However you need to remember that the 80 dollar games in the US are 90 dollars physically in Europe as physical games cost 10 Euros more. For example MKW is 90 Euros physical.
English
@jo5ack @ZikadaPrime Depends on the scope and who’s developing it as well as the direction OOT remake goes. Be user a classic remake may please OG Zelda fans, but they’re so many new Zelda fans, especially in Japan, that only know the Wild era games. To them Zelda may be a sandbox
English
@ZikadaPrime If the Ocarina of Time remake is real, we’re not getting a new Zelda game for another 5 years
English
I'm almost positive Nintendo is just sitting on a bunch of finished games so they have software to release during droughts.
Stealth@Stealth40k
Star Fox releases in 40 days! I appreciate that when Nintendo announces games, they usually release within a year or not long after. Since Metroid Prime 4, it's been this way pretty consistently.
English
@Kjjmmmut Ojalá sea su mamá y si hubiera abierto la boca enseñara unos lindos dientes de tiburón XD
Español
@stonecoldmirac1 @Stealth40k Also Bandai Namco uses UE to develop games, and this looks like it could’ve have been developed on UE.
English
@Stealth40k Bandai Namco had a job listing for a game that sounds very similar to Star Fox a few years back, so that's my guess. It's hard to imagine any Nintendo EPD studio busting out super realistic visuals like this, off the top of my head?

@kamen32481 @wanderjegson Bro it’s literally an exact reference to Rohan from Part 4 that makes a lot of sense in that context. Ppl literally being saying anything now on twitter 😭
English
@wanderjegson There’s a jojo reference in no game no life that i always found shitty, but that one looks like fine art compared to what Netflix just did here
English
World's first soulless Jojo reference
JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia@jojo_wiki
Episode 2 of Netflix's Devil May Cry Season 2 has a scene where the art style of Dante and Lady becomes like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
English
@JazzyNotJizzy @soulsilverart Keep in mind that Nintendo is the SOLE owner of the Pokemon Trademark outside of Japan. Why is why on the back of every Pokemon product outside Japan you see “Pokemon is a TM of Nintendo”.
English
@Beem1121277Beem @soulsilverart I don’t think there saying no to handouts, Nintendo has tweeted to show there most “important” franchises and pokemon wasn’t included
English
It’s interesting that Nintendo is already promoting Pokémon Winds and Waves as one of its premier Switch 2 titles… I mean the full reveal was in February 2026 too…
Gives the feeling that WIWA might just come sooner than later.
My copium is strong.
We know a new 3D Mario is coming in 2027 too. Would they promote WIWA like this and then release the 3D Mario before it?
Stealth@Stealth40k
Nintendo's comments about their announced 1st Party lineup: "Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is set for release on May 21 and we plan to release Star Fox on June 25. Both titles feature a character that appears in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and are titles that enable players to enjoy the unique appeal that only video games can offer. We also plan to release Splatoon Raiders on July 23, alongside new amiibo of “Deep Cut” from the Splatoon series. Also, many fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the newest upcoming entries in existing series, such as Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves. These titles take advantage of the enhanced performance and new features of Nintendo Switch 2, and we believe that each of these titles will serve as a major driver for the widespread adoption of Nintendo Switch 2."
English
@JazzyNotJizzy @soulsilverart And we know from the Tera leak that Nintendo wanted Legends ZA to be internally delayed because they wanted to release it with the Switch 2. Nintendo doesn’t need to call out Pokemon because they already have an entire company made for that (2/2)
English
@JazzyNotJizzy @soulsilverart Because the purpose of that tweet was to highlight franchises fully marketed by Nintendo LOL and shocker TPC handles marketing. Nintendo literally highlighted both ZA and Pokopia and credited Pokopia for hardware sales in there latest investors meeting. 1/2)
