Nintendo's Doug Bowser has addressed the company's decision to slap the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with a $70 price tag in the US, saying it's not "necessarily" a price point it'll apply to all its titles in the future.
Nintendo confirmed Tears of the Kingdom would retail for $69.99 in the US - $10 above the price it usually adopts for its big blockbuster titles - at the start of February, leading some to wonder if this may become the new standard for the company's games.
The move would certain align with a growing number of other publishers - including Sony, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, and Take-Two - who've recently looked to position $70 as the new normal for many of their titles on consoles.
