TOTK is the most expensive one at R$400, which is already more than any other $70 game afaik   delete12345 One Winged Slayer Member Nov 17, 2017 21,679 Boston, MA Nintendo really is the "Apple" of the video gaming industry. Are the prices due to Brazil still taxing imported video games heavily?  Miniature Kaiju Member Oct 27, 2017 7,503 Somewhere South R$500 for a single game is just ridiculous. Nintendo has lost their goddamn minds.   Lylo Member Oct 25, 2017 3,529 I'm in, but fuck those game prices. It should have been R$ 450,00 and R$ 400,00.   Wrynn Member Jan 10, 2018 289 These prices are ridiculous. WTF is Nintendo doing? Fucking consumers in this economy doesn't seem like a good strategy.  Mivey Member Oct 25, 2017 20,432 is this similar to Argentina, where Western publishers are just setting it to the 60/70$ equivalent to avoid cheap imports, without any care for the actual local market. I wonder at that point why they even offer the games there if you set prices that 99% of your customers absolutely can't afford.  FantasticToma Member Sep 21, 2024 2,084 Germany We need Steamdeck 2 and PS6 Portable sooner rather than later for some price competition.   carlosrso Member Oct 27, 2017 1,002 Ipatinga, Brazil Well. 800USD console and 90USD games. Jesus. BRL is such a shitcoin... it is awful this insane devaluation trend...  CielYoshi Member May 10, 2018 2,375 Santiago, Chile Now I'm scared for what Chile's prices will ultimately be, as part of what made the Switch so popular here was how cheaper it was than the other consoles (CLP300000 vs CLP340000 for the Series S as the cheapest competition) but if it goes past CLP400000 it will start trading blows with the PS5 and it ain't winning that fight.   Neoxon Spotlighting Black Excellence - Diversity Analyst Member Oct 25, 2017 93,004 Houston, TX FantasticToma said: We need Steamdeck 2 and PS6 Portable sooner rather than later for some price competition. Click to expand... Click to shrink... The Steam Deck is still hella niche & I doubt Nintendo sees it as competition (unless the Deck is available at Brazilian retailers, unlike most of the world). The PS6 Portable on the other hand, yeah, that'd be competition.   dalq Member Feb 13, 2018 1,591 lmao MKW is literally 33% of Brasil minimum wage.

I could spend my tax returns to buy it, but the game's prices are just too much.

Simple as that. You can get the console cheaper in the grey market but i am not paying 500 for any Nintendo game, and i say this as someone who DREAMS of smash bros.  Rosebud Two Pieces Member Apr 16, 2018 50,708 Platy said: The game prices killed any chance Nintendo had in Brazil.

Wonder what the game official price will be on Colombia. For context the PS5 at launch was more expensive than a Xbox Series X here but now it's cheaper, sometimes comparable and even cheaper than a Series S lol  Camells The Forgotten One Member Oct 25, 2017 4,336 LMAO Nintendo, why even bother?

Click to expand... Click to shrink... Oof. The Switch 1 is quite popular in Colombia, not as popular as a PS5 but still popular because it's really cheap. If the SW2 is more expensive than a PS5 it's DOA here.  Amnixia ▲ Legend ▲ The Fallen Jan 25, 2018 11,785 Platy said: Mario Kart 8 costs the same as 2 nintendo switch 1 games.

The price of the games are absolutely unjustifiable, fuck that honestly.  Lylo Member Oct 25, 2017 3,529 It's really bad, but I just don't understand the surprise, this is nothing new, anyone expecting anything better than this was setting themselves for disappointment. Video games are a expensive hobby everywhere, in Brazil (and in Latin America overall), they are a luxury product. Last year, the dollar price in Brazil reached its highest value in history (R$ 6,2672). If we take MKW price conversion as a reference you have: $79.99 x R$6,2672 = R$501.31. Even though the dollar price is lower now, Nintendo definitely accounted that for the game prices calculation. And no, Nintendo don't care about regional pricing, they proved time and time again that they don't care about presence if they can't make money. If you complain, Mr. Bowser has a answer for you: buy a Switch 1. Again, it sucks, but it is what it is...  raddyo Member Oct 28, 2017 219 Brazil Honestly was expecting it to hit 4999 for just the console, so this is actually good news 🥲   Michilin Member Nov 14, 2017 1,573 About what I expected for the console but 500 for a game is taking the piss, should have been 450 at most   Zedelima ▲ Legend ▲ Member Oct 25, 2017 8,465 My credit card is ready!   bunnibuki Member Feb 18, 2024 892 Insane game prices but it was expected since Nintendo doesn't do regional pricing. Nice timing for me to be moving to Europe cuz otherwise I don't think I'd be able to justify buying Switch 2 games, it's way too expensive compared to how much money the average person makes here a month.   Gun Member Oct 27, 2017 1,247 Playstation and Xbox games are R$ 349,00. Nintendo was already charging R$ 50 more on the Switch 1 games.
