Nintendo held another Nintendo Direct event dedicated to announcements of future games. This time, in addition to the joy of new users, some upset is expected.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The fact is that simultaneously with the demonstration of the new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it became known that Nintendo decided to follow in the footsteps of Sony and Microsoft and increase the cost of games to the level of $70. That’s how much The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom costs, according to the game’s eShop page.

Sony said back in 2020 that PS5 exclusives such as Demon’s Souls and Returnal would sell for a higher price. Microsoft said in December that its “new, next-gen, full-featured games” would also cost more. So you should start getting used to the price of $70 games.

In addition to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo Direct also showed trailers for many other well-known projects and franchises, probably except for Mario. So, fans learned about the surprise launch of the remaster of the original Metroid Prime, the release date of Pikmin 4 and the addition of Game Boy games to the Switch Online subscription service. In addition, there were several announcements for fans of role-playing games.
