Seems like the current standard, the films comes early on streaming services and just gets cheaper as time goes by.

@Ryu_Niiyama Based on how misogynistic the old movies are they are probably scared to enter that subject.

I will never buy a computer game which cost has been bloated by unnecessary overpaid actors. The cost of making games has increased by so much yet they think it's a good idea to add this to the bottom line. We have revered games with chip tune music for years and this adds very little. In fact I know that I prefer Ocarina of Time and will remember that music far more than I will for Breath of the Wild.

So the corporate bean counters will be doing their analysis of what is more profitable. Sell them to all or try and build a platform, as both have pretty much failed for them they haven't got an easy decision to make.

@Pillowpants I imported this game from the US, I remember getting a freeloader disc free with a magazine so decided to get it.
I noticed some of the other comments and it did come out in the UK, but it took 2 years from the US release.

Value is decided individually by the purchaser.

@Pillowpants I also wondered from the end of the movie that their maybe another one.

@Narrator1 Same here, much like if it wins an oscar then it's not for me.

The cineworld where I live put a message out to say they had them, so I quickly went down and got myself one.
And I was also surprised as it was much bigger than I expected.

Let's face it it's scopely, they WILL monetize it.

@chardir So what your saying is that Nintendolife should care more about losing traffic than they do for the people that visit their site?

There own site rules are that people should avoid putting spoilers in comments. But I know this is not a major biggie, but this article smacks of arrogance towards it possible offending some people.

Playstation getting ready for the release of GTA!! That increase is shocking.
But I also think that Nintendo will do well to not their price up with the current world situation.

I didn't see the news from Nintendo, only from here.

Why don't you answer your own question? Why did you feel you should spoil the surprise?

@Genichiro Thank you for your message. I have to admit that I don't hold the same respect as maybe you do and others for 'artists'. I certainly do not disrespect, but this separates me from many people who seem to me to give such high honour to something I don't so much.
I feel in your analogy you have understated AI to some degree, I can see how people can create with AI in the way that you have portrayed. But this is not how it will be sold and big business will never admit to such shallow practice, they will paint the picture of depth and 'creativity' in what have produced. We all know it's not true, just like when they say they always have their customer needs in mind.
Look at all this money being thrown into AI, this will lead to acceptance on a global scale. Not from us but from all the places that will bring legality to it, and allow it to be sold. Then they will carefully push it to the world until it becomes the norm.
I would also like to add that the world evolves and changes , and when that happens there are winners and losers. A bit like coal miners in the UK when they closed them all down. They fought, and lost! We all have a fight against AI effecting our jobs, personally I feel these people are using some sense of popularity to add weight to their fight. But where will they be when they start coming for my job.

@UltimateOtaku91 So are you saying that if they add stuff then they can charge more?

@Zeeba I agree with you and I think that proper made 'real' games should stand out. Because they will do what it takes to make enough people accept it, and then build it from there.
But the description you made also rings true for situations happening now, all those copycat games on the market. Basically made by a marketing department, that sees profitable ideas and tells games makers to make something that fits a certain criteria. I feel the industry is plagued by them, and that AI is only going to make that worse.
I think the real games makers need to look to the past when we had real innovations in gameplay, take some risks and invent things that AI (probably) can't.
But like the digital only world we are getting pushed into, I think we will get pushed into AI too. It's a shame, but not a great deal we can do about it.

@Genichiro Your comment about AI killing art, can I ask a question. I fully respect your comment, and I think your right to some degree. But if a games maker spends years playing other peoples games and then makes a new game, are they not doing the same as AI?

I am a little on the fence with AI, if it's makes things cheaper then that would be nice. If it makes it easier for companies to make games then that would be nice. But I think we all know they might not be as good and the savings will not come our way.

I actually hope that the technology fails and this whole debate ends on that. Rather then years of repeated efforts trying to make us accept it. But I would also say that gamers need to stop pushing game makers to make their games look better. I think that has had as bad of an effect on the industry as this will.

I have played a few of them and honestly not taken any notice of the story, still enjoyed most of them.

Personally I hate games that don't let you skip the cut scenes, stories are for books, games are for playing.

@Agent_P I just love the fact it goads a reaction after all this time. Thanks

@acNewUpdates Obviously that is good news then. Stupid that it has not been the case already.

Brexit bonus for the UK!!!

Why do we have so many articles about this live service games updates, but so many others are the same and we get nothing. What makes this game special?

Death to all the worlds stock markets please.

I had to wait till christmas to get my copy like the writer, and remember spending the next couple of weeks racing home from work every day to continue my quest in saving the princess. I am not someone who usually appreciates the story in games, and this is how I know this is the best game I ever played because I was so compelled to save Zelda it's like it was real.

@RetroBox I think it's fairly safe to say in the future there will be NO physical games at all.

Good news, and about time too. It will be interesting to see how games companies skirt around these rules.

@progx I obviously missed your point then because my comment proved nothing.

@progx "They likely tried to join in on the discourse we have, but they get bullied out and shuffle off. I’m still convinced about less than 20% of actual Switch gamers even know NL exists."

Bullied out lol. Or you and the few others are just wrong maybe.

@AmplifyMJ
I thought that too!

And now I know!!!

@JohnnyMind My apologies sir, I did not think it was rude personally, but if you did then I apologise and will not comment that way to you again.

@metaphysician I agree. Take the key cards as an example, i believe lots are complaining because you have to put the cartridge into the switch!!! Or that producing the tiny cartridge is destroying the planet!! Maybe that's why they just go with the corporate lover line!

We really need to stop with this 'defending a corporation' rubbish that is blighting comments. If your opinion is to favour the side of the corporation it does not give anyone the right to abuse you.
Just a couple of comments from this article -
"All of the bootlickers decrying the disgruntled customers about "bUt iT's OnLy fiVe dOLLaRs!!! geT oVeR iT!"
"Seems like some people actually have standards and don't endlessly drink the Kool aid from Nintendo"
"Nintendo that they defend them like they are a real, close and personal friend. It's so disturbing lol"

I mean the fact that you are on a Nintendo website should probably give you the impression that people are likely to defend them more often than not. This is also happening with regards to stories about pokemon and key cards. Then this website does nothing about such comments, even encouraging it with 'click bait' articles.

I am hoping for some information about the plans for the Universal parks, I want a good excuse to go back!

A nice surprise, and what a bargain, £20 for a classic game that lots of people want. I mean what did people think they should charge, you could put a pokemon on the side of a turd and get away with charging more than that!
And hopefully this is not a mistake to be announcing this at this time, maybe there is a bigger announcement to come next week.

Alana, Chatot was used for the microphone, but he was also used for RNG abuse too!

Yanmega is my pick.

@Moistnado You could easily flip that around to the fact these people are doing these things is meaning Nintendo have to spend time and effort to stop them rather than making games.

@Zuljaras I only clicked this article to see if you was in the comments!

Nice collection!

@batmanbud2 I am buying more game key cards in order to annoy the people that keep annoying me buy moaning about them. Good luck with your plight is telling people not too.

@Misima "If this is a huge seller on key card, that's it for physical media. This is the last line."

So the rise in PC gaming, those digital only consoles, where they not your last line? Possibly a shame that it wasn't!

Having just made my first venture into the Yakuza series with the first game they released on switch I won't be going back for more. I never want to have to watch two adults discussing s&m in childrens playground ever again!

Another game advertised with no actual gameplay.

I was looking on the eshop,and the playstation store over the weekend, nearly every video I watched had no gameplay at all. It ended up with me buying nothing because I didn't know if I wanted to play any of them or not.

@WoomyNNYes "The death of physical games is getting serious momentum with Switch 2. The anti-consumer slide continues."
Why has switch 2 added such momentum in your eyes, the end of physical has been closing in on us for a while now. The rise of PC gaming, digital only consoles, it seems to me that Nintendo are pretty late to a party that everyone has known is coming for a long time.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Sorry for the slow reply, busy times!
My opinion regarding preservation is that it seems like more of an excuse for people to justify emulation. And I don't personally think anything becomes free because of a certain amount of time, or other similar reason.
Then I look at the how this could be done and I don't see anything that would reassure me that the preservation is not done for the right reason. Are we preserving to learn from the past, or a record of all that has been and gone. Then are we going to have a single museum style place, or many all around the world. And how available would it really be for people anyway, no one does nothing for nothing nowadays.
You also need to take into account on what exactly are you preserving of a game, many games have various versions on different platforms, remasters, variations based on where they are released. What about live service games? And if you look at modern games then you have to take into account the many updates, which one of those is the definitive version for preserving, or do you detail / keep them all!

All in all it just won't work, so maybe I do want it to exist but know it would never be what I, or people want it to be. I also have a little bit of me that wants the value of that stuff in my loft to increase!

@The_Nintendo_Expat I knew you would make me smile with your reply, thank you.

I don't see the need for it, and I cannot imagine one single person or company that I would entrust with the job either.

@The_Nintendo_Expat What is the need of preservation for games that never even released?

@Nep-Nep-Freak Same here, I bought it just before they announced they were going F2P.

In light of the news last week that games companies are doing their best to protect the young from inappropraite content this can be added as yet another fail!

Like I said last week, all the companies deserve all whats coming to them with regards to online safety.

@Misima it is literally sad that you can look at some children’s toys and the only thing that comes to your mind is to preach your misguided opinion at other people.
