What do you want the game prices to be? I want them to be $39.99 or $49.99.

[Blasty]

Personally I want premium handheld games back at $30 and $40 for console games. That won't happen though so I expect Wii U titles to be $60.

[Jakester897]

$50 is the sweet spot. Less isn't enough, more is too much.

[Lord Pickleton]

$70 I'll explain later.

[Zok]

Hopefully they'll be $50. Anymore and they start charging as much as Xbox 360 and PS3 games. That's unwarranted, at least at launch.

[Andy]

Considering the price of developing games for the current HD twins, $60 is what I expect. No offense, but anyone who is hoping for $40-50 is setting themselves up for disappointment.

I wish it to be cheaper, but that's highly unlikely. I'm hoping they just stay the same here, $100 (AUS Dollar).

I'm about to confuse you all now by using a different currency. I like to think that games will be £40, although I have a feeling that most games will be nearer the £50 mark when they're initially released.

Thing is, by then, GAME and Gamestation probably won't exist anymore, so no-one will sell at the RRP and will probably end up cheaper anyway, well, except at HMV if that's still around as a store.

[Gruff]

I think they are going to be around $50-$60.
I wish they were more like $.50-$.60, but that will never happen.

Lol.

Nintendo pattend their own 25gigs disc, so they can sell it whatever they want. I believe is going to be around the same price as Wii games, but maybe a bit more for the new titles..

This is what i don't get. There's heaps of Americans complaining about a $50 price tag when our Australian Dollar is actually worth more than the US dollar and we still always pay essentially twice as much for everything game related. Our 3DS's are still RRP $250 (they used to be $350) and a lot of our console games sit at about $100-$110 and our 3DS games sit at $80. It's not just Nintendo products, it's Microsoft, Apple and Sony aswell.

That's just my little rant, so i say anywhere upwards of US$100 should be fine for you guys and we'll still be happy to fork out AUS$110

I think it's the fact that we have a smaller market size in comparison to the rest of the world. We only have a total population of approx. 20 Million. The United States has over 100 Million. For businesses to make the same or close amount of cash as they can in Australia, they have to raise our prices so their income in Australian dollars can match their income in the U.S dollar.

The fact that our dollar is stronger than the U.S gives makes them even more eager to raise prices as they would be earning more money. It's a greedy business practice, but it works.

[Zok]

I know in America, at least, that Nintendo could easily blame higher prices on 'the economy and inflation'.

I have to agree. I don't mind paying $100, but I wish people would stop complaining, in comparison to the rest of the world, the US is not paying very much at all for their games.

Y U NO TRANSLATE TO USA CURRENCY?!

Anyways, I know that it'll probably be more than the Xbox 360 and PS3 games because it's more superior. So it has to be $65 - $70.

[neverwinteru]

$60 is my guess and i honestly dont see how that would be overpriced seems pretty fair

50 euros is $62 40 euros is $52.

[jejaynes17]

60 Dollars and upwards... Maybe a little less for some games that wouldn't appeal to a wide spectrum of consumers...
