Will Brawl be 50 dollars?

[RyokoYaksa]

You don't remember that Nintendo stated that Wii games will not retail for more than 50 dollars in E3 2006?

I also remember them stating stuff like this in pre-launch:

1) The Wii will be priced "under $200"... Except that it's not.
2) All Wii titles will support progressive scan... Except that quite a few don't.
3) All Wii titles will support 16x9... Except that again, quite a few don't.
4) The Wii will support 802.11b and 802.11g... But many reports say it's 802.11b only.
5) The Wii will have full online capabilities... Well, maybe someday.
6?) The Wii will be "comparable" to other consoles of the same generation, only without the HD support... I won't deny that the Wii is fun, but I'm not deluding myself in how much power is under the hood.

Do you see where I'm going with this yet?

Most sites are already presenting their pre-order pricing which I've rarely seen change.

 

[Wight]

It will probably be like, $90 here in Australia knowing our outrageous prices. .__.

well you get lots of your school books for half the price we do. so you save cash there at least

 

[vesperview]

I hope it doesn't cost that.

Metroid Prime 3 was $50 American. Mario Galaxy is going to be $50 American. Brawl will follow this standard price. Why would they even have to raise it anyway? Considering that Melee is the best selling game on Gamecube, Nintendo should be happy to sell this one for the standard price, knowing that it'll sell so well.

I really don't care how much it is..Just as long as it's in my wii 24/7 starting Feb 10th.

Once I get Brawl it will be in my Wii 24/7 I won't stop playing until I get board or at least a New Game but Brawl will be the Best game for the Wii no matter what other game I get YAY This is What I do if someone steals Ssbb from me! :smiliegor Lol

Brawl is $50, but to pre-order it you gotta pay at least $5

Depends where live, ect.

 

[davidw89]

why do you guys bother paying for the real game?

 

[-Wolfy-]

why do you guys bother paying for the real game?

Because piracy, is just bad.

And when you preorder games at most places, you are jsut paying 5 dollars upfront to guarantee the store your business when the game is released, and then the game will cost 44.99 plus tax when you go to pick it up. I don't think there is much question here, it's no GHIII, I've already preordered it and they told me 44.99 is what i'll owe when it comes out...

 

[spikehappy07]

$49.99 plus tax= ONE MILLION DOLLARS(Dr. Evil laugh)

 

[error_alt_delete]

I already paided 52.84$ for mine, so I'd say that 50$ is the right price without tax.
p.s. I went ahead and completely paid it off.

 

[-Wolfy-]

I mean, if you don't want to pay the 50 dollars, you could do something else, like kidnapping for instance. Quite lucrative if you don't get caught I hear. Oh! And you could pirate ships too, and pay for it with your booty. OR! You could just win the lottery. Whichever you prefer.

But then theres the tax. There are probably more dasterdly things you could do to cover that too. Be creative!

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I would pay $100 for it.

Second that notion.

 

[-Wolfy-]

Second that notion.

I second that second.

Or

triple that notion?!

 

[Rex+]

I'd pay fifty bucks and tax for my state, and that's it.
You guys are crazy for wanting to get a game for over one-hundred. I really want this game too, but I'm not crazy about it...

 

[-Wolfy-]

They're joking, because the game would be worth that much. This thread could probably be closed in my oppinion. There's really no arguing the price of the game. It's a fact at this point..

 

[Red Exodus]

Maybe it'll cost over 9000. That'd be awesome.

That's the point. Because it will sell so well and have so many features, it's fiscally sound for it to sell for $60 USD. There's also this to consider - if it's supposed to be $50, then they had plenty of opportunity to change this bit of information to reflect that, especially when the launch date changed.

I don't see why else they would bother putting a "TBD" there unless they were considering a US mark up.

 

[davidw89]

you americans are lucky
we aussies pay $100 for it
even though exchange rate is like $1 AUD = 0/92 USD which is like close to 1:1
someone must be making lots of cash

 

[studgangsta]

What if brawl comes packaged with a headset or some sort of peripheral and thats why the MSRP is still TBD?

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Some stores sell for $49.95. And do player's choice go down to $20, like GameCube?

 

[WarioII]

It's going to be $49.99.

However, Im going to buy some controllers, and more games aswell, so I really hope they don't bump the price up.

thats how much i preordered mine for

 

[OmegaSephiroth]

All new Wii games are over 60 dollars in here Finland...

I noticed. Why everything is more expensive here in Finland???

 

[WeeklyJumpman]

Most likely Brawl will be fifty. That's the standard price.

Though I would pay more if I had to...

 

[WeeklyJumpman]

Kid works cheap; he did it for 20 dollars.
