Skyrim SE JUST came out. When the Switch version launches it will be full price just like the PS4 and XBO versions are.
"demasters"
Edgy.
If late ports like skyrim won't be priced correctly:
1)few people will buy them
2)"3rd parties don't sell on nintendo"
3)no 3rd party support.
I hope switch games will be priced similarly to vita, 10-20 bucks cheaper than their ps4 equivalents.
Did nintendo sell those Wind Waker and twilight princess remasters for a discount?
The price of the others versions is basically irrelevant. RotTR was $60 on PS4.If it turns out to be a 10$ price difference and the other Skyrim Remaster versions are still going for more or less original price, that's seems pretty much fine. But a significant difference as we saw with the Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U port vs. the Trilogy is effectively a middle finger to the customer.Might or might not happen again on the Wii U.
Switch game pricing will be interesting anyway. Most of Nintendo's first party releases in Europe were just 50 EUR (with some titles 40 EUR). Those prices are not that much higher than what the portable market currently has (40 EUR), but they are quite a bit below prices of X1 and PS4 titles (60-70 EUR).
So will Nintendo charge prices similar to competitors for their Wii U ports? Or will they charge prices more in line with their previous portable systems and Wii U?
Really that's high as fuck. How many of those 700 games are even retail releases.It's still a wildly exaggerated claim. There are over 700 games on the PS4 and based off a quick search, less than 30 of them are remasters and even fewer are demasters.

Skyrim is a complete edition anyway. Xb1 and PS4 had plenty of expensive old ports anywaf at launch20th Anniversary Edition with all dlc and some extras.
Huh? Switch architecture is very similar to PC/XBox One/PS4, much closer than Nintendo's architecture has been to the competition since the GameCube. For the first time, they have a chipset that can do the exact same effects, the same pixel shaders and lighting and whatnot. And power is rumored to be much more powerful than Wii U, possibly even the same power as XBox One. It should take very little work to port any game to Switch. Heck, nVidia even made it a point to say it was going to be easy to port games to Switch. And we know Switch already supports Unreal Engine 4 out of the gate (Tegra X1 was shown off running the UE4 Elemental demo when it was revealed, Switch is using a custom chip based on either Tegra X1 or X2).One issue for the Switch is that because it has such a different architecture and less power than the PS4 and XB1, porting games is going to require more work. For those consoles, if you start with the PC version, then you are already a good way towards a PS4/XB1 version. The difficulty in porting to the Switch is going to make publishers less likely to sell games for less on it.
How is it a late port though? You mean i can possibly play it on the Switch right now but I can't because they delay the port just because?Because it is still a late port, but being a launch title kind of negates that.

Nope. Well TP came with an amiibo and CD (In Europe) so while you paid full price for the package, you could say you paid a discount for the game if you count the individual parts.
WWHD was full price. The Ganondorf collector's edition was extra.
The difference being, there was no other current system you could get these on for cheaper. That was the problem with the Wii U's ports.
Question will be what Nintendo prices their games at, will Switch be 50 or 60? Other publishers will follow
But this time PS4 and Xbox One have trained people to be ok with expensive rehashes of games that are anywhere from 2 to 10 years old instead of expecting new games.

I was thinking about this earlier in the shower.
Am I really going to buy a new Pokemon game for $60? I don't know, Nintendo.
Said no one, ever.Yeah how dare they, eh?
But when Nintendo does it? All hail full priced ports!
Pretty sure you just pulled that number out of your ass.
