Gaming Switch games are gonna cost $100 for Canadians? What Is This Non-Sense?!?!?!

[fatsquirrel]

I was about to say the UK isn't affected but then I remembered the UK isn't part of Europe anymore. lol

Yeah, because UK is in Africa right?

 

[Skyshadow101]

My Canadian neighbors have two options:
A) come to America and get your games for cheap but have Trump as your president
OR
B) stay in Canada and become broke buying switch games.
Your choice!

If they choose A,

If they choose B....well....have fun?

 

[Deathbot64]

Buy from other regions eshop. I'm in Canada and I buy most of my switch games from the Japanese eshop to save money.

 

[Lucifer666]

This is just a pre-order listing, there's no way that it will remain that way closer to release.

Use your common sense guys if video games are listed at what's essentially $75 (in USD) then they simply will not sell.

 

[StarTrekVoyager]

Why does no one in Canada want to understand that 1 CA$ ≠ 1 US$ ? 60 USD are worth around 80 CAD anyways, and 70 USD are worth 93 CAD.

The UK is very much still a part of Europe until they attach some engines to their island and move the whole thing somewhere else.

 

[DarkIrata]

As a european, i doesn't understand the problem? By the current exchange rate its about ~67€

 

[StarTrekVoyager]

Oh, and stop whining. By Europe standard games, including Switch games, are €60-65, which is not that expensive here, and that's US$67-72 or CA$88-96. That's not Nintendo's fault if the Canadian Dollar value dips.

80 CAD (60-ish USD) https://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-HACP...s&ie=UTF8&qid=1497532203&sr=1-1&keywords=arms
vs
100 CAD (75-ish USD) https://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-HACP...UTF8&qid=1497532434&sr=1-1&keywords=pokken+dx

It's a raise of 25%.

Both games at amazon.com will cost around 60 USD.

[StarTrekVoyager]

Actually yeah. On Amazon France, Pokkén Tournament DX and Arms are €49.99 = US$55.75 =CA$74.02.

 

[tri_fin]

I like how the tone of the discussion changes as Europe wakes up.

But it's true we have always paid more. Oh the years of pain of seeing US prices compared with UK prices for Apple goods....

 

[StarTrekVoyager]

Errr... Actually How is €50 expensive compared to the US? Remember that nowadays €1=$1.05-1.15.
But the price rise in Canada is a bit weird

and? i have to pay around 67€ each time i want to buy a new switch game? Do you see me make a thread about the problem of the euro as a currency?

 

[Bonestorm]

Every time something new comes out, Canadians always seem surprised by the price. It's like they still haven't learned their currency is slowly failing as prices rise.

STFU already you have no clue what you speak of, the price of the dollar has nothing to do with a $99 price point

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Oh how sick I am of you Canadians crying rivers here on temp about how ''expensive'' your games will be. Take a look at Europe which has even higher prices than yours or Brazil with their sky high prices. You had a good run with low prices, don't bitch about it now.

Canada isn't a third world country.

 

[Yepi69]

A set of joy cons cost 100€ where I live.

 

[Rudy69]

I was ready to call bullshit on this since I picked up Mario Odyssey for $50 at Walmart (yes it was a promo). I decided to go back to Walmart to see the regular price again (used to be shown as $79), and I can't believe it but they jacked it up to $99. Well that's pretty lame

Canada isn't a third world country, but you are a first class fool

 

[tatripp]

They're not going to cost that much because they aren't worth that much. They won't sell any at that price.

 

[Thunder Hawk]

But yeah, it's not going to be the final price... hopefully.

Great thread!
