COGconnected - We take you once again deep into the Korok Forest in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to continue guiding you through the Trial of the Sword.
IGN: "Amid continued frustration and confusion from fans about how much the Nintendo Switch 2 and its games are going to cost them, we've learned that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Nintendo Switch 2 edition doesn't come with the Expansion Pass, meaning you'll have to pay an additional $20 to play the DLC on the new system."
I wonder if there will be a 90 bundle for it at launch. They might as well as there is still a pokemon scarlet + Dlc for 95 and no one cares.

It's not. It's $60 (base game) + $20 (DLC) + Whatever Upgrade Will Cost.
Not really different than Ghost of Tsushima + Iki Island + PS5 Upgrade
The 70 dollar PS5 version of Ghost of Tsushima included the Iki Island DLC.
The 70 dollar Switch 2 version of Breath of the wild doesn't include the 20 dollar expansion pass.
Not the same.
oh yeah great clarification and misleading as well - PS4 owners who bought the game day one as a $60 title had to spend $30 to get the PS5 upgrade because Sony only offered the "upgrade" as the Director's Cut
New players, yeah they got the PS5 version for $70, but PS4 players, nope, it was $90
'So that leaves folks who don't own the game yet at all, but might want to purchase it on the Nintendo Switch 2. They can purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild for $70, $10 more than the game initially retailed at (so basically the price of the original game and the pack). But it won't include the DLC Expansion Pack, so if you want access to that, it's another $20 on top of that. $90 total for the full Breath of the Wild Nintendo Switch 2 experience.'
I'm surprised there isn't a Switch 2 edition of the DLC that's $25. Which makes me wonder, if the DLC is just the same code as the OG Switch version, then does it just run out of the box on Switch 2?
The PS5 version of Ghost of Tsushima is the "director's cut" for $70 which includes the PS5 upgrades and Iki Island DLC. The PS5 upgrade from PS4 which again includes DLC if you didn't already purchase the DLC separately is $20 and thusly makes the PS4 version of Ghost of Tsushima which originally retailed for and RRP of $60, $80 in total after upgrading to the PS5.
The PS4 to PS5 upgrade cost is total $80 if you aren't an idiot. Though, I'll outline the idiotic paths to burn your wallet below. The problem is that all pathways for new Switch 2 games cost as much as worst case scenarios or more than on other platforms, provided those players are at least of average intelligence.
Warning! Idiotic ways to burn money below, only the truest of MORONS would even attempt to blow their money by following them.
There are worse deals, you would need to buy the standalone Legends online game mode FIRST and then pay for the PS5 version of the game, which would cost you $90.
But, you could do even worse by buying the Legends online mode for either PS4 or PS5, FIRST, then buy the PS4 game for full price - all these years later somehow on a disc - forcing you to upgrade to the director's cut to be the least expensive path to get everything for $110.
Impossible money wasting options:
You'd need to buy the PS4 game, and the PS5 game both at full price - $130, then the DLC (which you can't buy now, it was $20), granting you access to Legends online, which you'll pay for separately anyway adds $20, and finally you will pay for the PS5 upgrade from the PS4 version for $20... even though you already have the PS5 game. Ultimately the burn your wallet path would cost $190 for just GoT not factoring in special editions (which like the standalone Iki Island DLC are no longer sold). So, it was possible to pay way more for GoT than Nintendo will charge players for BoTW or TotK, but only if you have severe mental retardation.
BotW is going to be $70 (base game) + $20 (DLC) + $10 (Upgrade).
TotK is going to be $80 (base game) + $10 (Upgrade).
So both will be $90 for full experience.
No, BotW base game is $60 and TotK is $70
Or in terms of the Switch 2 Editions (already with the upgrade), $70 for BotW and $80 for TotK
No idea what’s going on with Nintendo and their messaging, but this is once again just a really bad look, no matter how you spin it …
The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?
Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!
I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!
Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.
It's the Capcom method:
1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.
this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
and those are all first party games.
