Why is Tears of the Kingdom set to be priced so highly at $69.99?
Shortly before the publishing of this article, Nintendo announced on the e-shop a price of $69.99, which naturally has fans asking why the price hike from BotW's $59.99 tag.Nintendo responded by stating that they price games on a case-by-case basis. So, judging by the immense success of BotW, it seems the company is hiking the price in anticipation of a sales record. If you're struggling to swallow the new price tag, look out for deals in the coming months. The game is set to be paired with Pikmin 4 as a bundle, and if you want both games, you'll be able to pick up the two for $100 (with Pikmin 4 being priced at the usual $60 if you buy it standalone). This can be accomplished via game vouchers and a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
