@kyleforrester87 You were gonna spend £70 on Zelda? Where were you getting ripped off from 😂

@Haruki_NLI I dunno, heard it was £70 - didn’t even bother to check the prices as it was a ways off and I was unlikely to preorder. Still don’t know what it costs now, tbh. Either way, I am now getting it for “free”* 🥳

@kyleforrester87 No monetary cost for you, but your girlfriend has your soul whilst you are still together.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@kyleforrester87 The U.S. MSRP, sans vouchers, is $69.99, which is what you might be thinking of. The UK release is £59.99 (at least on the eshop), which is roughly equivalent to the U.S. price.

I think BOTW launched at £60 here too, so I assume/assumed it was $70 in US, if so what is the story? Or was BOTW $60 at launch?

@kyleforrester87 TotK is the first $70 Nintendo game in the U.S. The price point has been a hot button issue since Sony started pushing it with its PS5 games, because the $60 MSRP has been the standard for a long while now.

@Ralizah It's funny, because it was Nintendo in Europe pushing the first €70 game with BOTW, well before the PS5. But it wasn't really talked about at all back then.

I've pre-ordered ToTK for £48 from hit.co uk (used to be base). Seems to be cheapest in UK. I threw on BoTW last night to start a new play through and god damn, the great plateu might still be the best opening tutorial of a game ever!

@R1spam Still havn't actually finished BOTW, despite playing it for a couple of hundred hours. I have to go mess up Ganon. Not sure I will get round to it, though.

Seems that I was not the only one who noticed that Breath of the Wild was 70 euros in Europe for both the Switch and Wii U versions! Now we are talking as it is a big deal that the new Zelda is 70.

Although, to be fair the Switch online plus thing here is 40 euros that is less than 50 dollars.

Decided not to wait to see when any of the online retailers would get more MP: Remastered stock in, so I went ahead & bought it digitally.

I've retrieved the missile & morph ball upgrades so far. All the places that have opened up to me are too hot to explore, so I'm gonna go back to the starting area to see if there's another path to take.

My first time playing it (or any of the Prime games really), and at first I thought the formula would be too overwhelming in 3D, but I think I'm starting to get to grips with it.

I know it maybe shouldn't seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but I am pretty pissed after the last system update that I no longer can use my name on there. I'm assuming it is because it has the world kill in it, but really? Xbox and PlayStation have no problem with it, and to do this nearly 6 years into the console's lifespan is pretty ridiculous.

@LN78 jammy git, I'm in no way jealous!! Enjoy 😀 I have dropped some very unsubtle hints for my birthday in a couple of weeks as I've never played it.

Maybe my problems are solved @LN78 as that came through my letterbox today too, completely forgot I ordered it.

Took me a while to work out how to set it up, but Prime Remastered has gyro aiming with dual stick controls. I have come to accept I like this even more than keyboard and mouse for shooters, I wish I could play every shooter this way.

Game is also the best looking game on the Switch bar none, even docked and blown up on my telly it still looks really excellent.

Only thing I had a bit of an issue with is during that opening level (which is all I played just to give it a quick go), while it had some really nice lighting effects like on your arm cannon etc as you move next to light sources, the overall lighting in that level was really dark and I couldn't find a setting to turn up the brightness.

However, it took me a while to work out how to set up my controls, so maybe there is a brightness setting hidden in the menus somewhere I just missed.
