@SillyG I realize that. The US price of $ 19.95 is already higher than the 2017 prices. My question is with the $ 5 Trump tax apply to the $ 19.95 price tag as it will be with the Switch 2 accessories. Nintendo did not include this info in their press release.

@shoeses Retailer websites have all had the new TotK amiibo priced at $ 19.99. My question is will those prices be raised as well as the other Switch 2 accessories are now subject to the $ 5 Trump Tax.

@AussieMcBucket I almost spit out my coffee through my nose when I read your comment. What goes up does not always come down.

Nintendo adding on US $ 5 to all accessories. Will they be doing the same with the new amiibo ???

Does anyone at Nintendo realize what the hell they are doing with this console launch ... and how abysmal it has been ??? Prices aside, it has been a real s***-show.

Looking forward to these ... even though the Sage abilities themselves kinda sucked ... and the Sages' amiibo are $ 4 more each than the Champions' amiibo for BotW. Plus the Champions' amiibo were released 8 months after BotW along with the Champions' getting their own DLC. These are being released two years after TotK and there has been no DLC. But other than all of that, very much looking forward to these.

Oh and if Square Enix is putting Bravely Default on a Game Key Card - you can guarantee they will do so as well with Final Fantasy Remake.

Poll is not all that surprising with the 3rd party titles ... I'm sure viewers on your website are very much 1st party enthusiasts to begin with.

@JaxonH BotW is a now 8 year old game. Nintendo previously offered BotW with the DLC on a cartridge on PlayAsia. The fact that Nintendo chose not to offer the Switch 2 edition as a complete collection is newsworthy ... and total BS.

@sanderev Nintendo briefly offered BotW cartridge WITH the DLC on PlayAsia a few years ago. So it WAS possible.

I was willing to buy the physical cartridges for Switch 2 editions of both BotW and TotK - even though I already have the switch online expansion pass to get the upgrades for free. But with this news, I will not only pass on the physical cartridges, I will be passing on the Switch 2 altogether until the new Zelda game is released. **** ALL THE WAY OFF, NINTENDO !!!

@JaxonH This is VERY newsworthy.

This is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I, for one, LOVED Age of Calamity. I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, having never gotten very far in the original Hyrule Warriors. This one clicked and it clicked HARD and I enjoyed several playthroughs ! I LOVED playing as the Champions, Impa, King Rhoam ( SPOILERS ! ) and Sooga was a total badass !!! Terrako playing Zelda's Lullaby at various points during the game was very touching. I also do not believe in the whole timeline BS so I simply was able to enjoy the story from beginning to end. The game itself also came at a very difficult time in my life as my father passed away at the end of 2020 so it provided a wonderful outlet when I needed one the most. Admittedly, the game did not run very well on the original Switch. So any performance upgrade for the Switch 2 and I might dive right back in.

Very much looking forward to the Age of Imprisonment - although the ancient champions are not what I would consider to be ''other familiar characters'' as per Nintendo. So I'm sure Link, as well as Purah, will be playable at some point. I'm also looking forward to the new amiibo as I have been collecting all of the Zelda amiibo since their inception, even before BotW arrived on the scene. I'm just surprised it has taken Nintendo two years since TotK to release them. Maybe the sages will actually be useful in the new Hyrule Warriors game as they were not very useful in TotK.

Dear Nintendo,

Please stop the BS and give us a straight answer for a change.

Will there be a physical cartridge or a game key card ?

What first party Nintendo games are currently in development ?

This is PURE GARBAGE !!! ... Besides do we know whether or not the Switch 2 BotW cartridge includes the DLC ?

With the crap that Nintendo is pulling with the Switch 2 Editions of BotW and TotK, you're darn right I want a PHYSICAL version of WWHD !!!

And on my 3DS it shall stay.

Is Age of Calamity going to get the Switch 2 treatment though ? Lord knows it needs it !

TAKE MY MONEY NOW, NINTENDO !!!

"Top Gun" ... when he snapped his teeth at Tom Cruise ... best line of dialogue EVER !!!

The triforce has been blackened out on the movie logo ... let the conspiracy theories begin !!!

Metroid of the Wild

@SwagaliciousJohnson They do seem to be fond of their farming sims.

30 minutes ??? How many farming sims will they be able to cram in this time ???

Yes, please. Although I am still annoyed that the guy who reviewed both BotW and TotK gave BotW a 10, but gave TotK a 9.75 !!! I mean, who does that ?!?!?!

The Switch released a mere 6 weeks after the January 2017 presentation, so a Switch 2 release in May would not be surprising with the April Nintendo Direct.

Now THIS is more like it !!! Althouugh LEGO would have really knocked it out of the park if they made this a 2 in 1 as the did with the Great Deku Tree by having an alternate Luigi build.

I was able to pre-order two Switch for day one release on GameStop website. I had to use a different credit card to get the second system as well as it was bundled with 1,2 Switch. I kept the gray joy-con one for myself and gave the blue-red joy-con Switch ( along with the 1,2 Switch game ) to a friend I had purchased the system for. I also purchased the BotW Master Edition which I still have unopened in-box. The Switch was the first Nintendo system I bought on day one - and I go all the way back to the NES. I will not likely get a Switch 2 on day - unless the Zelda games get a major upgrade for it. Happy Birthday, Switch !!!

LEGO typically charges about 10 cents per piece with their sets. So if this set is only 421 pieces, $ 59.99 is a definite mark-up.

Garbage move by a garbage company.

@Tyranexx It's not fear of the name in and of itself ... it's fear of vomiting if I say the name.

Hopefully any tariffs imposed by hewhonotbenamed in the US won't affect any pricing structure.

I'm sure Nintendo still has a few overpriced remasters to unload before the new system is revealed.

Tarrey Town in BotW is obviously at the top of the list ... but Mattison's Independence in TotK is not far behind. Anyone who did not tear up simply does not have a heart.

I doubt this, buy maybe Nintendo will allow for options of how many players you can race against - both online and offline.

@BTB20 It is impossible to ignore when so-called Zelda fanboys try to shove a timeline down everyone else's throat. Especially on YouTube. And then they all go insane when a new game threatens to change or even upend their version of a timeline - even as TotK is a DIRECT sequel - they have collectively lost their mind with the TotK story.

Oh for cryinng out loud ... stop trying to retro-fit standalone games into a non-existent timeline. I love me some Legend of Zelda. But the whole ''timeline'' is complete and utter nonsense.

Hopefully it won't run at 10 fps. ... Meanwhile, this just leaves NintendoLand and a couple of - cough - Zelda HD ports - stuck on the Wii U.

@LinktotheFuture You have my condolences.

Good God ! Get a Grip !!!

Raise your hand if you played Smurf Rescue in Gargamel's Castle on the COLECOVISION !!!

I played Blood Omen on my Windows 95 PC about 30 years ago and loved every minute of it !!! Vae victis !!!

You must be a newbie to the world of LEGO. The cost of a LEGO set is usually 10 cents / piece. Throw in the branding of this set as well as the fact that it is a 2 in 1 set, is probably how they came up with the price. LEGO sets are also rarely full 360 builds. Nearly all sets are left open in the back. And as far as one Zelda ... OOT Zelda had nothing to do with the Deku Tree. BotW and TotK Zelda had cutscenes with it. So it makes sense that there is no OOT Zelda minifig.
