Hey guys, Zelexin here.

Just wondering, Trine 2 is currently on Steam for less than £3, why are we still being charged over ten pounds on the Wii U, is that something that may be changed in the future? I don't think anybody will pick the Wii U over the PC when you can save over £10 on a title.

PC downloadable games, especially when on sale at a place like Steam, are ridiculously cheap. I don't know much about the economics of it. But I do know I am glad that I made the investment a year ago to build a mid-range gaming PC. Now I will only buy exclusives on consoles - everything else is on PC where I can get it at a fraction of the console price.

I bought a rediculously expensive PC for my hardcore gaming and video editing, however I was hoping to record more Wii U games, but with only using specific titles with no Multiplayer aspects I'll soon be running out of videos! :o

I did.
The touch screen controls are great for the wizard.

It costs more because the developers had to take some effort to port it.
The cost of the game on the eshop is down to the developer, they can put it on sale if they want to, which they did for launch.

I have a similar question about Nintendo games specifically. Why do popular Nintendo titles maintain their price so well, sometimes keeping their original release price for years?? Sony and Microsoft exclusives always drop in price - slower than the less popular titles, of course, but they come down nonetheless.

Nintendo aren't desperate for your money.
They're okay with sitting and waiting for you, tempting you.

Nintendo has no influence on what a developer charges for their game. If you want to blame someone, blame the developer. Nintendo didn't developed Trine 2 , Frozenbyte did.

Frozenbyte is probably charging so much because of the costs to port it over and adding tablet controllers. Doesn't this game also has all of the DLC? I could be mistaken.

The Trine 2 on the eShop is the Directors Cut. Which includes the DLC and an exclusive level for Wii U. That's why its priced higher. :)

Its absolutely fantastic, and yes, its worth the price. Once you buy all the dlc for the pc version (and you still cant get the wii u exclusive level) the prices are about the same as when the wii u version was on sale.

A very lengthy content filled adventure, with online multi for replay value.
