      Remakes of any games from any developer is NOT going to be priced at budget price. People need to get over it. Plus, everyone has been asking for a remake of TTYD, and now we got it. Buy it and support the game and hopefully the series goes back to its traditional turn-based RPG roots, or stop asking for specific games to be remade.

    It is misleading calling it a re-release though as it has never been on Switch before and it’s completely different graphics when compared to the GameCube version and not just in resolution. Hence why it is only 30 fps.
    If it was an actual straight re-release it would be much lower resolution without all the extra detail added to scenes and run at 60 fps.

    It's considerably better than the GC version, sorry/not sorry.

    I loved the GC version, but the back-tracking in chapter 4 is utterly unbearable. That's apparently been fixed in the remake.
    I'm also laughing at everybody crying about the FPS. I've played both versions. I *literally cannot* tell a single difference framerate-wise. Granted, I've never been able to see the difference between 30 and 60, anyway. But it hasn't affected the timing of the battles, that's for sure. I bought the remake, day one, because I want a return to the OG Paper Mario style gameplay.

A strong Yen would push the price down, given it takes less of it. The Yen has gone from about 135 to 1 to about 155 to 1 over the last year. So yeah, it’s been weakening. This doesn’t account for the current discrepancy, it adds a double insult to it.

    The price is set at a level that will maximize the total expected revenue. To me it shows that switch new game sales have been sluggish in the UK, so they are using a lower price to at least move some copies. Also the Japanese example is thrown off by recent changes in the value of their currency, traditionally 5000 Yen is closer to $50. Since Nintendo games are a domestic product for them they don't have to pass along that changed exchange rate.

  • @Fangarius
    @Fangarius Месяц назад

    First off, I love your channel, and secondly what really ticked many Americans off concerning the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, was what I call the phantom cancellations of online preorders.
    To illustrate, imagine Lady Decade, you live somewhere which lacks any gaming retail stores, so your only option is to preorder it online. However, if the game you desire is highly popular, you have to contend with the scalpers who will implement bots to snatch up all the preorders, thus when the game comes out, they force you to pay double or triple the price of the game's retail value.
    This is exactly what happened when the Big 'N' foolishly decided to make the special edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which had an art book. The scalpers did not hesitate into causing Nintendo to sell out of their preorders, but prevented others from genuinely preordering the title. However, as fate would have it, because Nintendo swapped XC3 with Splatoon 3's release date, the scalpers were left high and dry, since the game itself came out in June, but the special edition goodies came out in September. Meaning customers were not going to purchase the art book and other items, since they already had the game itself.
    Yet, I digress, imagine because of this fiasco, when Nintendo heard their online preorders had instantly sold out moments after they announced this title's release date. Fearing the worst, where scalpers would seize all the preorders, then sell the title at outrageous prices, either on Amazon or eBay, they had immediately cancelled all preorders of said title.
    Then adding if they want this title, they would have to go to a local game retailers, in person, and preorder the physical copy. For many of us here in the States, this was indeed frustrating, since the only way to purchase the title online was to wait for it to come out on release date. Meaning many fans were SOL in preordering the title online, and some were furious, since the only local game store in their area is miles away from their home.
    Though Nintendo claims they did this to stop scalpers from hoarding the game and reselling it at outrageous prices, all it really did was frustrate and anger many customers wanting to purchase the title itself.

    Corporate greed is our problem in America and unfortunately they like to keep the public confused as to the reason they keep raising their prices. Take gas prices for instance, our federal tax rate for gas is is under 20¢ per gallon (hasn't changed since 1993) but yet our gas prices are around $3.50 per gallon. So gas companies get roughly $3.30 per gallon. Cost estimates of gas production are between 30¢-70¢ per gallon. So the way I see it is that at 3.50 a gallon minus tax and production costs, the top brass at our oil companies get to pocket around $3.00 per gallon. All the while they pay media companies loads of money to promote the narrative that inflation and taxes are the reason gas prices are on the rise. Nintendo are just following the example set by our oil companies and really all of corporate America. Is it really any different in the U.K.?

    Nintendo often gets treated like they are absolute saints that can do not wrong. But Nintendo has a very long history of greed via nickel and diming their customers over the most petty of things. How about how Nintendo has kept their 1st party games at release price ever since the Switch launched. How about how the New 3DS didn't come with an AC adaptor.
    I haven't gotten this game yet, but I understand the criticism over the price. I'm currently playing the Super Mario RPG remake and, while I am enjoying it, I don't think it justifies the full AAA price. The game looks and plays at the level of mid-budget AA games which tend to be priced less than AAA games. I can understand why a AAA game that costs $100M to develop (which is a problem it of itself) costs full price, but games that cost much less to develop should be priced accordingly.
    This story is even more egregious since the regional price difference is ridiculous. But Nintendo will get away with this because the Switch is hot among casuals and the hardcore gamers are so obsessed with the console war or the culture war that they will just say "Well, at least Nintendo isn't Sony or Microsoft!"

    5000 yen is their equivalent to $50. How their money Works is that they basically don't have cents, so they don't go from ¢99 $1, but from ¥99 to ¥100.
