Like I said before, just because you have to pay out the wazoo for video games doesn't mean other countries are perfectly content to do the same. Do you expect us to say "Oh, good, you raised the price? Whew, I was beginning to feel left out there, having to pay so little. Thanks for that. It's not like I needed that extra money for anything."
50 bux is not a big deal if you look at the price for some Wii games, PS3 games, PSP games and XBox games. I really don't see why everyone is complaining. That Sypro game was 70 bux and people still bought it. I mean the new Kirby game is 50 bux and you don't seem to be complaining about that. Capcom has a right to charge whatever they want. People need to get over it. If you don't want to pay 50 bux for a game then don't buy it. Simple as that. I'm a mother of two kids with a third one on the way and I don't have a lot of money for gaming but I'm getting this game because it looks awesome and to me is worth 50 even though I've never played a Resident Evil game before.
Want: Harvest Moon: One World, Story of Seasons: Pioneering Town, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Finished the Alola Dex.
Now playing New Horizons, Wrath of White Witch and Sword
$50? why is everyone getting so worked up about that? Here, Freakin super monkey ball, pilotwings and just about any other 3ds game is $60. And no one is complaining.
Doesn't the 3DS use a proprietary form of SD card and that's why a Four gig would cost more.
Also a few months ago I threw Down $100 for some headphones. (to be fair I had a $75 giftcard) and I just payed off the $80 collector's edition of of Mass Effect 3.
Is it a problem that the Game is too much for a Handheld or Gaming in General is too expensive. (what about somewhat hidden cost's like DLC or more expensive version's like collecter's edition.)
WAT!

Capcom is a HUGE corporation. This isn't some little company some guy and six of his friends run in the back room of his parents' restaurant. Saying tthe developers are suffering because of $10 on one game is pretty ridiculous when you're talking about a company this large. I'm all for paying what games are worth, but there's a line to be drawn. It doesn't matter how much it cost to make when the game doesn't have much to offer. 20 hours of gameplay is not worth $50, especially on a handheld. Going to the movies, the theatre, or other such events are completely different than buying video games, because the theatre is an actual sensual experience, rather than just sticking a piece of plastic into your console. And the argument that "[insert country here] have been paying $400 per game for years!" is a terrible argument. Just because your country makes it difficult for gaming companies to bring their games there doesn't mean everyone should have to be milked as much as possible.
Ah yes, the modern society. "Big corporations aren't allowed to make money! But they better not stop making products for me!"
Big corporations struggle with exactly the same problems indies face, on a far grander scale.
As for the theatre thing: you're right. It is a completely different situation. It's worse. You buy a ticket, you get to watch the movie once.
You buy a game, and then you can replay that 20 hours as often as you like.
So once again, I shall say this: if Resident Evil isn't worth $50, then just don't buy it. Pretending Capcom is a terrible company for this particular reason is just silly. All it's doing is trying to make a profit. Which it is entitled to do, irrespective of the fact that it's a "massive corporation." The market will decide whether it was a wise decision or not.
I'd love it if the games were as cheap as $50 where I live. I gotta pay €50, which is nearly $80. And in some stores the games are €60, which is even steeper.
Well, if the game's too expensive for you, just wait till you can find a pre used or in the bargain bin. That's what I'm doing with Rayman 3D: waiting until it's dirt cheap. No way I'm paying a full price for that game .
50 bux is not a big deal if you look at the price for some Wii games, PS3 games, PSP games and XBox games. I really don't see why everyone is complaining. That Sypro game was 70 bux and people still bought it. I mean the new Kirby game is 50 bux and you don't seem to be complaining about that. Capcom has a right to charge whatever they want.

It is a big deal when that 10 extra dollars is 25% more than any normal 3DS game and 67% more than most DS games. That Spyro game was not just a game, it had some crazy accessory with it, and I'm sure the parents weren't too happy putting down $70 for that game, either way. That Kirby game was not a DS or 3DS title, it was a console game, and it didn't cost anything more than any other console game, and certainly less than PS360 titles. The point is not "If you don't want to pay 50 bux for a game then don't buy it", but rather, I want to buy a game, but I'm not exactly rich, so I don't have an extra 50 bucks to just throw around. Even 40 bucks is pushing it, but I'm willing to pay if the game is good. You raise the price 25% and that's just not gonna happen. Not that it particularly matters to me much, anyway, because I'm probably not going to be buying this game, but it's the principle of the matter.
@YellowChocobo I'm not saying Capcom deserves to lose money or something, I'm just saying they can take a loss better than a small company. And somehow I doubt they'd lose money on this game, even if they sell it at the normal price point--Resident Evil is a big name; the game will sell, regardless, which is why this upsets me. Capcom knows the name will sell, which is why I think it's much easier for them to tack on an extra 10 bucks without much thought. If it were another company, I might be more understanding, but Capcom has done underhanded things to its fans before.

No they can't. True story - all Japanese publishers are struggling at the moment. The value of the yen is high, profits are bring slashed and the 'in' thing right now with the western market, the FPS, is not a genre the Japanese understand especially well.
What happens when a big corporation starts to struggle? Projects start getting shelved or cancelled. And then a different legion of fans get all upset because Mega Man whatever disappears, or Monster Hunter whatever is deemed too marginal for a western translation.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. There's the reality of corporations.
To me, it really doesn't matter how much a game is if its one of those games that I gotta have. I won't be buying this because I'm not a fan of RE but for example if Nintendo said they intended to charge $100 for MK7, I would still buy it. This game, regardless of my lack of interest, looks to be one of the most high-profile games coming to 3DS in the near future. I'm sure Capcom has poured a lot of cash into this one so I hope they at least gain back what they put in.

Capcom releases newer versions of previous games almost at full price. They also make questionable decisions that upset a lot of fans. Why shouldn't they be struggling?

Actually more than that...... unless the Capcom game has Ace Attorney somewhere in the title I refuse to buy anymore Capcom games new. "If you don't like it then don't buy it." is sound advice and advice I intend to follow.

No reason. Just explaining the realities here. I've got no loyalty to Capcom.
Well, on a lighter note, North Americans can still get it for $39.99. Buying the game from GameStop for the full $49.99 gets you a case for your 3DS. I know it might not outweigh the "sting" of "supporting Capcom's price-gouging", but hey.
It was poor wording on the spokesperson's part to imply it was just the physical size of the cartridge that was cause of the price increase.
True, but you can't go behind them trying to explain 'no, that's not what's really going on, this is why' when that's what they said, man. Until they backpedal, that statement is all we've got to go by, and idk — if i had been interested in this game, i'd probably be pretty ticked about it as it stands.

well that settles that.

... would never pay 50$ for a handheld game (even 40$ is asking too much). Though I guess because RE:TM3D didn't sell amazing, they have to earn back their lost money some how... but this is just sad.
The game is easily comparable in production values to Resident Evil 4(possibly better even) and it using a bigger card which will add to the production cost. I think it can easily justify being the same price as Wii games. However that doesn't mean you have to pay the highest price asked. Amazon.com still has it for $40, order from there.
Strangely it seems to be standard price in Europe even though it's being dubbed into five languages. Guess NOE may be taking that cost on.
