I just imagined Sony saying: THIS IS WHY WE NEED BLU-RAY!!! just a joke, i know its cartridges, but still its funny to me.

With two carts in the package, you'll likely be paying double what you would pay for a single cart game.

eepiccolo6359d ago

Primarily, you're paying for all the development, marketing, and so many other things that go into creating a game when you buy one, not just the cost of the physical media (the card). The hardware is a relatively small component of the game cost.

Could be 40 bones but just becuase it's two carts doesn't mean it's more expensive. It's still one game.
Another note, seeing that it is 2 carts least we know it's going to be a large game ^^ I know I'm going to buy and play this one!

MicroGamer6359d ago

was because the cartridges were more expensive to develop for than CD's. When you have two cartridges in the same pack, that is a big expense. They can't sell the game for the same price as a game on one cartridge. This may be the first handheld game that sells for more than a console game.

eepiccolo6359d ago

The N64 cart packaging is much larger than the DS cart packaging, and cost more. The DS cart packaging must be much cheaper. Look around at the cost of 128MB memory sticks, which is the maximum capacity of a single DS cart; you can get them for as cheap as $8. So in bulk, I would imagine the DS cart hardware can be no more than $5. So worst case scenario is the game costs an extra $5.

Most DS games retail for either $30 or $35. So I suspect this game will be $35, with $40 being absolute tops. I think $35 is more likely, though.

However seeing that this is Dragon Quest and part of the main series it'll sell a few million copies no matter what price it is.

thats so crazy haha.

it will never disappear.

darksky6d ago

The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.

Inverno6d ago

Another 8,500 will take their place. Smh

PRIMORDUS6d ago

There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.

lucasnooker6d ago

lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen8d ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

kevco338d ago

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.

CDbiggen16d ago

Felt like I was the only person who bought and played this lol
