Doug Bowser, president of Nintendo of America, has explained to The Associated Press magazine that the decision to set the price of the exclusive Nintendo Switch game was made after observing its full potential. “I think gamers will find this to be an incredibly well-rounded and deeply immersive experience. The price reflects the type of experience players can expect when it comes to playing this particular game.”.

It’s actually a pretty common pricing model, whether it’s here, in Europe, or in other parts of the world, where the price can vary depending on the game itself.”
