Yoshida said (Through the gamerider) That publishers should not be limited to a fixed price on the shelf from physical media days. Each game should be priced at the price he has said, or in essence, “based on the price of the publisher’s idea.”
While the Mario Cart World is $ 80, the other side of the party’s second switch 2 games such as Donkey Kong Banana are set up with a price of $ 70. Earlier, Nintendo’s Bill Trainon said Nintendo “will look at different prices for his sports” based on how strong the experience is. “
The trainer added: “Whenever we look at a given game, we just see what the experience is, and what the content is, and what is the value?”
