, head of Nintendo USA, Doug Bowser, has suggested the company will continue to price its games on a title-by-title basis, while not ruling out the possibility of more $70 releases in the future. "We look at what the game has to offer," Bowser explained."I think fans will find [Tears of the Kingdom] is an incredibly full, deeply immersive experience. The price point reflects the type of experience that fans can expect when it comes to playing this particular game."
"This isn't a price point that we'll necessarily have on all our titles," Bowser continued."It's actually a fairly common pricing model either here or in Europe or other parts of the world, where the pricing may vary depending on the game itself." Tears of the Kingdom's predecessor, The Legend of Zeda: Breath of the Wild, was also notable for its £59.99 price tag in the UK when it launched back in 2017 - £10 above Nintendo's other big-name releases at the time. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Tears of the Kingdom are the company's only first-party games to repeat the price point since.
