That's because they announced the price increase in advance to boost pre-hike sales.
Give it three months. Will be back to normal, even if a tiny bit lower because more and more people realize the PS5 is just not that great and has no amazing exclusives to warrant the price tag.
It is shameful they even get 5/10 for being such a giant company willing to release garbage just to make a quick buck. "Free to Start" excuses nothing - they should never have released such incomplete trash. Unacceptable
Yet again and again and again the consumers put up with this kind of thing and the reviews excuse it because it is Pokemon and no other reason.
@ElkinFencer10 It's true. As a company they are piss poor at everything except releasing unfinished products and raking in money from their IP. Awful company.
"Anything Except Ocarina." Not only overrated by nostalgia but outdated game design at this point in gaming history. Zelda has moved on from that design [thankfully]. Majoras Mask would be a good remake because it is still so unique compared to the others.
@vio For a month, sure. Because many will go buy it BEFORE the increase, which is just what Sony wants. Long term? Nah, just wait and see. Sales will pick right back up, insane price or not. Just watch.
@LucasM3 It's easy to see, just look at any luxury good. They sell.
"if you’re in the 0.1% you will not have experienced true poverty."
Ha ha ha ha! Spoken like a true Internet Bubbler. Thinking you know things about total strangers.
"Well sure, but you weren't REALLY poor. I know this by magical abilities. Now I can judge you with my amazing Judgemental Skills."
Sure. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Not having indoor plumbing? Probably not "real poverty" to you. A corrugated metal roof and no insulation? LUXURY! Being in a communist slum that was recently knocked down by the government there because even they realized it was no way to treat human beings? Clearly must have come from a rich family. Impossible that circumstances change otherwise. You bet. Absolutely. You know it all, and everyone else is stupid.
@Friendly It makes the responses accurate, given the outside-the-bubble of both poverty and riches experience. Hard to see until you have actual real-world experience. Until then you think everything is black and white and are heavily ideological. It is always "them" that's the problem. Never "me."
Stuff like this will continue to make money, art will continue to decline, and eventually we will end up with a fully bankrupt civilization and have to start over from the ashes.
But at least anyone paying attention will learn some important things about life and philosophy on the way down.
They should come out and say "We were going to remake OoT, yes, but thanks to Nate we now are cancelling the project. You can direct your response to him."
@-wc- Darn skipadoo, I know from experience from people around me. I watch them spend hundreds on f×ing POKEMON LEGOS while they are crushed under debt and bills.
Completely idiotic, and exactly how the world is right now.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream?
@Anti-Matter Because the Mii art style sucks and I want to shout that from as many rooftops as possible until it dies the death it deserves.
Needs to be gone forever and replaced with a superior style.
Re: Splatoon Raiders' Switch 2 Price And Box Art Have Been Revealed
Beautiful! Can not WAIT for this!! So hyped.
Re: Splatoon Raiders Is Alive, And It's Out This Summer On Switch 2
Heck. Yes.
Day one purchase. The question now is why wasn't this in a Nintendo Direct Announcement instead of that dumb app?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream?
Meh/10. Sick and tired of the Mii style, and ready for it to be dead and buried.
Re: Telltale Brings Five-Chapter Sci-Fi Adventure 'The Expanse' To Switch
I thought Telltale went out of business years ago? Or bankrupt or something.
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Star Fox Game?
@BigJobz2000 "what do kids really want?"
Star Fox: Fortnite Minecraft Edition
Re: Japanese Charts: Combined PS5 Sales Can't Even Beat Switch Lite
That's because they announced the price increase in advance to boost pre-hike sales.

Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Star Fox Game?
A good Star Fox experience, and TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE THAT DOESN'T BELONG. Too many SF games have been "Fun, plus rubbish that isn't fun."
Just leave out the rubbish ideas. They are COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. Different for the sake of Different is stupid. Stop doing it.
Re: Star Trek: Resurgence Will Likely Be Delisted Very Soon
Tempted... But I dunno, full price for "one episode" seems off.
Re: He-Man's Stunning-Looking Beat 'Em Up Delayed Just Two Weeks Before Release
Better to make it right than release garbage. (Looking at you, GameFreak...........)
Re: Two First-Party Switch 2 Ratings Have Been Spotted
I can't wait for Splatoon Raiders! I hope it is big on single player and just plain fun.
Re: Feature: A Look Back At Every Game Nintendo Life Scored 10/10 Over 20 Years
Fun list! It is cool to remember a lot of thes.

Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Let's You Fight Joan Of Arc And Explore Notre Dame In New Trailer
Fighting a good guy (gal) makes no sense.
Re: Rhythm Heaven Groove's Price Is A Welcome Surprise
Sold! Can't wait!!
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES Library With Three More Games
Finally giving us the games everyone wants!!
Oh. Wait.
Re: "Feels Like A Fleshed Out Beta" - Fans Are Unhappy With Pokémon Champions At Launch
@ElkinFencer10 It's true. As a company they are piss poor at everything except releasing unfinished products and raking in money from their IP. Awful company.
Re: 007 First Light Shaken By Delay On Switch 2, Now Releasing After Other Consoles
That stinks. As usual, Nintendo fans get the bums rush.
Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Would You Most Like To See Remade?
"Anything Except Ocarina." Not only overrated by nostalgia but outdated game design at this point in gaming history. Zelda has moved on from that design [thankfully]. Majoras Mask would be a good remake because it is still so unique compared to the others.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Galaxy Jumps Up The Rankings Thanks To A Big-Screen Boost
Who would have thought Nintendo knows how to capitalize on an IP?!
Re: Rumour: The Legend Of Zelda Movie May Have Found Its Composer
This movie is going to be awful and also a huge commercial success, lol.
Re: PS5 Gets An Insane Price Increase – Will Nintendo Follow Suit?
@vio For a month, sure. Because many will go buy it BEFORE the increase, which is just what Sony wants. Long term? Nah, just wait and see. Sales will pick right back up, insane price or not. Just watch.
@LucasM3 It's easy to see, just look at any luxury good. They sell.
Re: Super Mario Run Celebrates The Super Mario Galaxy Movie With A New Event
I didn't even know that app still existed, lol.
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Opening Day Breaks Multiple Records Worldwide
This does not bode well for the Zelda movie. Why even try when you can just cash in on the IP alone?
Re: ICYMI: Donkey Kong Bananza's Newest DLC Event Is Now Available
Because I missed some of these (and apparently they're gone forever) it makes me not interested in new ones. Having them be once and gone sucks.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
Fine/10.
Not terrible, not good. About what the market eats up these days.

Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Pokopia Sales Slow, But It's Still On Top
Looks like the fad is over. It had a good run.
Re: Nintendo Really Wants You To Press Switch 2's GameChat Button
I would have loved this feature in college. Now voice chat in games can get as far away from me as possible, thanks.
Re: Round Up: It's April Fools' Day, Here Are The Best Gaming Gags We've Seen (2026)
These are fun! Hooray for April 1st!
Re: Miyamoto Isn't So Sure About A Smash Bros. Style Movie
"As we now know, there'll also be some faces that aren't even from this particular Nintendo universe."
This is an hilarious way to bow down to the trolls in comments complaining about reporting on officially announced information, hahah.
Re: "I'm On A Mission" - Miyamoto Wants To Include Pikmin In Any Kind Of Nintendo Product He Can
I am here for this. Do it! Pikmin are the best.
Re: April Fool's Comes To 'Pokémon Pokopia' With Inflatable Sudowoodo Event
April Fools jokes online are great, and there should be more of them. In the early days people actually tried and they were amazing.

@MiltonHolmes Good to know, thanks.

Re: Nintendo Will Be "Absolutely Furious" About Latest Leaks, Says Former PR Manager
They should come out and say "We were going to remake OoT, yes, but thanks to Nate we now are cancelling the project. You can direct your response to him."
Would get what he deserves.
Re: So, Will you Be Watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
No, but I have been much more tempted since the Fox reveal. That has made me really consider it, but before I had no real interest
Re: PS5 Gets An Insane Price Increase – Will Nintendo Follow Suit?
@LucasM3 Even not counting slop, we live an an unprecedented age of free or cheap entertainment. It is nuts.
Re: Feature: No Love For Simisage? - The 47 Pokémon That Didn't Get A Single Vote In Our Polls
@Daniel36 100% agree. So crazy.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Have Kept The Mario Galaxy Movie Fox Reveal Under Wraps?
@compostablecars The crybabies always get upset, no matter what you do. Best to ignore them!

Re: Feature: No Love For Simisage? - The 47 Pokémon That Didn't Get A Single Vote In Our Polls
Lot of trash Pokemon on this list, yep. Many more trash ones that should have been here, too.
The amount has just gotten way too bloated. More =/= better.
Re: PS5 Gets An Insane Price Increase – Will Nintendo Follow Suit?
@rockodoodle Sure but that's Xbox, lol. MS pays to keep that console afloat.
Re: The Elder Scrolls: Blades Is Shutting Down This June
Shutting down games sucks.

Re: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Is Getting A Free Update, Planned For Release This Summer
Nice! except this makes me want to hold off playing until then so it may have a backward effect to what they hoped for lol.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo's 2026 Plans Include New Star Fox & Zelda Remake, No 3D Mario
I wish Nate and other leakers would get real jobs, because spoiling things for other companies sucks. The worst.
Re: Fox McCloud's Voice Actor For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Has Been Confirmed
Ha ha, that was a great reveal trailer for it! Love the goofiness and fun. Nice.
