Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have revealed the pricing for the next mainline Pokemon game on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, Pokemon Legends Z-A. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game will set you back $70 / £60 and the Nintendo Switch edition will be $60 / £50. The Pokemon Company announced yesterday that Pokemon Legends Z-A launches on Thursday, 16th October.
Pokemon Legends Z-A will be $70 on Nintendo Switch 2
So what’s that extra $10 get you from the Switch to the Switch 2 upgrade. Maybe improved graphics, load times and frame rate.
I don’t think it’s been fully divulged yet. Probably will in Pokemon Presents in July.
Honestly – that’s fine as long as they don’t bump up the physical to f***ing 80 here in Europe. I’m OK with 70 as a new standard
Whenever you see a dollar price, like you are seeing in this article; you can safely assume that it means “70 dollars before taxes”, since the US never includes taxes in their price information.
“$70” therefore means around “~$75” at the end of the day, in most states (it seems to average is around 7% sales tax). European sales taxe (or VAT, rather) is generally a lot higher though, around 20%–25%, which usually is rounded of to a “convenient number” at €80.
I know it sounds like a lot, since we all remember prices back in 2019 and before; especially since wages haven’t gone up as much as inflation has; but €80 really isn’t that crazy of a number as it seems (especially when taxes are included).
$70 seems a bit much but you are getting 2 games in 1 (docked and undocked) and people forget about that. You can think each version as 50/50 or 60/40.
What awful logic, were you born with a dented skull? That’s like saying my steam library doubles if I buy a steamdeck. Im fine with $70 but you’re just defending a billion dollar company for no reason lol.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! THAT IS THE SAME GAME!
70$ is good enough for me. I guess they are going extra.
Hopefully the Switch version will also be $70 and they sell the upgrade pack for no less than $10.
Yeah, I do not give a monkey’s chuff about the upgrade. The Switch 1 edition will do just fine. Suck my throat, Nintendo.
