@JaxonH I ended up managing to preorder the Bayonetta 3 special edition but now I'm wondering whether to swap for the standard edition. Bayonetta 1 physical is exclusive to the My Nintendo Store in Europe which means it'll be a mess trying to preorder meanwhile both that and XC3 Special Edition got delayed. I want to be able to play Bayonetta 3 day 1 and my interest in the special edition would be less if I'm unable to get Bayonetta 1 physical.
The game is $60, same as it's always been. It literally says right on the eShop, $59.99
The game is NOT $70. There is a BUNDLE that includes the $20 DLC upgrade for a discount- $60 game + $20 DLC for $70, and just so happens to land at the "magic number" everyone is freaking out about. But that's not for the base game. That's for a bundle
Is it too high given the age of the game? Absolutely. Is the price fair game to be criticized? You bet. Is it ridiculous the price is higher than other platforms? Obviously. But this is unequivocally not the same thing as a brand new base game releasing for $70. It's just not. It's no different than Monster Hunter Rise Deluxe Edition for $70 ($60 game + $10 DLC), or Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak Set for $80 ($60 game + $40 DLC) or Mario Rabbids Gold Edition for $90 ($60 game + $30 DLC).
And anyone trying to spin a narrative that it is a "dangerous precedent" is clearly ignoring the fact games are still $60 on PS4/X1. That price only applies to PS5/XS. Systems that were already out before they released have seen no change. And Switch is no exception to that.
This is nothing more than a creative way to charge more than $60, but devs have been doing that for 10 yrs now. We see it with every $70-80 Deluxe Edition. There's a clear distinction between a game that DOES have a $60 version on offer with an optional $70 version with more content, and a game that DOES NOT have a $60 version on offer and only sells at a base price of $70. The two are not the same.
They could have sold this bundle for no discount at $80 and nobody would have blinked. Complained about high price? For sure. But nobody would have misconstrued a bundle with $20 DLC package for a base game price. But because the total just so happened to land on 70 all the attention sluts are, "Ooh! Ooh! $70 game!"
It irks me to no end. I've seen people I previously respected trying to sell this narrative and had to unsubscribe or block them on social media. So tired of fake news for outrage clicks. I expect as much from ppl like RGT85 and ReviewTechUSA. They live for fake news rage clicks. But even Spawnwave? Just goes to show how ppl are willing to take advantage of a lie agreed upon.

Reminder that the Chaos;Head Noah / Chaos;Child Double Pack is due out on Switch next week. Pre-orders on Amazon come with a steelbook in NA.
Chaos;Head Noah was originally going to release on Steam as well, but it's yet another VN they've refused to release on the platform for some baffling reason.

I'm a little confused. Hasn't nintendo themselves been doing this with games? Wasn't mario + rabbids bundled with the dlc for like 80 or 90 at launch? And that was year 1.
That’s the Nintendo hater mentality: finding any possible angle to criticise them even when it just means spinning the truth to get a few nice clicks. This kind of modern journalism and content needs to go. I feel for the people who fall for this nonsense.
@NintendoByNature Not quite, the Mario + Rabbids Gold Edition (game + season pass) released 3 months after launch, probably about trying to have the game be visible during the holiday season. There are year 1 examples of Nintendo related game + DLC pass day 1 bundles though, Fire Emblem Warriors and XC2.
I feel if anyone's going to start $70 base price releases (as in no DLC present) it would be Nintendo with BotW 2 given BotW and Smash Ultimate were £60 which is the same price as Deathloop. US didn't experience that price increase (back then they used £1 = $1 conversion rate).

Even though people love to think article writers were better back in the day, this type of journalism has been around for a long, long time. It's just now a little more common after the later end 00s internet boom where a journalist job became a lot easier to acquire.
Thing is, the kind of people that make "lousy content" nowadays never always had such a massive platform. In the early days newspapers and magazines were your source of info, meaning companies had to be selective as to what they were able to publish. I assume people were paid a flat rate for newspaper and magazine journalism.
On the internet nowadays revenue is dictated by clicks and clicks are collected by those that make the most sensationalist headlines. Plus the fact that social media is free to use means that there's lots of independent reporters that make their living off of their following.
Part of me considered a journalist degree but seeing the kind of drivel modern journalists have to produce to make ends meet... that's a pipe dream.

Why would you want it to be a train wreck? I consider myself a pessimist, but even I rarely wish for things to end up as a train wreck.
I wished for The Lego Movie to be good and it was. I'm doing the same for this movie.
Are the Chaos games already on Switch, and this double pack just combines them? Thought I read the Noah one released earlier this year.
Valve clearly has someone working there who is rejecting games as a result of their ideology. They took an, "allow everything, unless illegal or downright trolling" policy. And yet... here we are.
Reminds me of those NoA tree house staff that were censoring cleavage in the Wii U era, pissing everyone off. They got fired I think, as there's been a clear shift in the Switch era.
Are these games worth getting for someone not that into VNs? I like Ace Attorney and AI Somnium Files, and Rain Code looks incredible. But I never got into more pure low budget VNs like Steins Gate.

Ok, ordinate sales rankings for Switch preorders on Amazon are looking very promising.
Bayonetta 3 is has jumped to #118 on Amazon Best Sellers list, which is pretty good considering Nier Automata, No Man's Sky, Mario Rabbids and Persona 5 Royal all release before it. I expect a massive jump in the final week leading up to its release after P5R drops.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is at #41 and #17, respectively. Of course this is expected and well within the norm for Pokemon games.
Nier Automata has jumped to #37 on Amazon Best Sellers list, a huge improvement from the #350 it was prior to the preview blowout.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is currently at #245, which is so-so, but I expect this game to see a massive jump in the week leading up to its release.
Persona 5 Royal is currently at #48, vs the PS5 version (which releases the same day) at #499.
No Man's Sky on Switch is #338, vs the PS5 version (which releases the same day) at #5,859.
Atelier Ryza on Switch is #543, vs the PS5 version (which releases the same day) at #817.
Tactics Ogre Reborn on Switch is #662, vs the PS5 version (which releases the same day) at #2,586
Sonic Frontiers on Switch is #184, vs the PS5 version (which releases the same day) at #563
We had a discussion not long ago about our concerns for certain games being overlooked or skipped due to the dense lineup, particularly Nier Automata and Bayonetta 3, but it seems those concerns were unfounded. If any game will prove a loser in this lineup it's probably No Man's Sky, but even it seems to be doing reasonably well all things considered.
