It looks like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Legend of ༺Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be Nintendo's first game sold at current-genꦺ prices, and fans aren't quite su🅠re how they feel about that. 

Last night, Nintendo the upcoming Zelda game on the US eShop for $69.99 be🅷fore taking it down. W﷽hile that might have been a goof, it's worth mentioning that Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop have , and those had been priced at $59.99. 

If Tears of the Kingdom does end up costing $69.99, that would represent the first time Nintendo has sold a standard edition Switch game for more than $60. It would be a move not out of step with the rest of the industry, though the likes of Sony and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft at least have new-gen consoles to point to as part of the reason. PC storefronts like Steam and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games Store aren't strangers to those prices either, though upgrading and🍸 maintaining a PC is a different beast. 😼;

Fans are alꦐready having their say on the potential price. One of the more common arguments against the potential price point is that the Tears of the Kingdom is still and not a new console, OLED model or not. On the other hand, many players have been waiting for years for a follow-up to Breath of the Wild, so an extra ten bucks

Either way, we might have our answer soon. As we previously reported, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintend💎o is hosting another Direct later today, which promises 40 minutes of game announcements. While the publisher often flags if a Direct specifically relates to an upcoming game &n🃏dash; as it did with Pokemon and Splatoon – we've heard nothing of the sort yet. Still, with Tears of the Kingdom so close to release and the eShop goof, it would be surprising if we don't see something from the upcoming Zelda game.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Direct predictions? We got 'em.
