The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is worth every penny for Nintendo

The price tag for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has not gone unnoticed by the fans of the popular franchise. A couple of months ahead of its release, many players don't really understand that the digital standard version of the game is more expensive than any other game on Nintendo Switch. 

It's not that the price tag is going to stop a huge legion of fans from rushing to play the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as soon as it's available, but Nintendo's boss was asked about this matter during a recent interview. His answer demonstrated that the Japanese company has deposited its trust in the title, knowing that it can't disappoint the fans.

“We look at what the game has to offer. I think fans will find this is an incredibly full, deeply immersive experience. The price point reflects the type of experience that fans can expect when it comes to playing this particular game.”

According to Bowser, this decision doesn't imply a rise in the prices across the platform, and it's something that will only apply to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

“This isn’t a price point that we’ll necessarily have on all our titles. It’s actually a fairly common pricing model either here or in Europe or other parts of the world, where the pricing may vary depending on the game itself.”

We are wondering if Nintendo is willing to take the prices down for games that are less meaningful too.
