Resident Evil: Revelations Price Slashed To $40

[Valwin]

Resident Evil: Revelations comes on a 4GB Nintendo 3DS cartridge. Part of the reason for this, aside from playable content, is that the game includes several voice tracks in different languages on the same cartridge.

Capcom initially priced Revelations at $50 in the U.S., which didn’t go over very well with a lot of people. Most Nintendo 3DS games tend to be $40 or less.

Today, Capcom have announced that they’ve managed to lower the price of Revelations to $40, stating that they’ve “spent weeks looking for a way to bring [the] cost down to standard 3DS pricing”.

Resident Evil: Revelations will be released on February 7th in North America.

That's nice to hear. I wasn't really excited to spend $50 on a handheld game so this is great news.

That's a good news!
$50 was a bit expensive for a 3DS game.

Now I can buy this after I get TotA on Feb 14th

good to hear that capcom won't start a trend of $50 3DS games but I don't really care as I didn't like the revelations demo [I'll only think about getting it if it come with the circle pad pro]

I got mine for £5 anyway, Gamestation did a trade in deal for Super Mario 3D Land.

Depends on if you know the internal workings of a game company.

Marvelous! unlike so many price gimicks, this actually makes me want to buy the game even more.

Sadly, in Australia all 3DS games cost $50-60 anyway.
I guess this probably means we won't be paying $80, though so it's still good...

Smart move, because I'm pretty sure Capcom realized that some are waiting for a price drop to buy this game .

I really liked the demo, but I never thought it warrented it being 10$ more then everything else. It seems to me Capcom was just seeing if people would tolerate the higher price, which a lot of people obviously aren't. I'm certainly much more inclined at 40 then I was at 50.

This is now a day one purchase for me ^-^.

I still have to think about buying the circle pad pro though :/

I guess they figured that, even with the Resident Evil brand name, a game that's more expensive than the competition is going to have trouble.

 

[chris888222]

But there's one thing I really dunno: why would they want to price this game at $50 initially.

If games were $10 cheaper for having a single typo, then sign me up!

I was a bit iffy on getting the game, but the pre-order bonus pushed me into getting it (First that's ever happened).

The $10 off just gives me another reason to get the game.
