Poll of the Day > i can't believe they charged $60 for links awakening on switch, ok?

(+) Yeah! (+)

this is nearly the exact same game as the gameboy. like, shockingly so, ok?

ALSO... the game plays like shit in docked mode. i'd have preferred docked mode just be a solid 30 fps, instead of this 60 fps that keeps dipping so constantly, ok?

it seems to be a solid 60 fps in handheld which is nice, but i mostly play in docked, ok?

it's weird, nintendo usually is really good at keeping their games running at a consistent frame rate. i wonder what happened, ok?

visuals are nice, ok?

My sister bought it and literally tried telling me I was wrong when I told her it was a remake of an old gameboy game

I see frame dips happen a bit while playing handheld, but otherwise I like the visuals

Its got a half hearted dungeon maker on it so at least that is something new.

thank you so much for warning us. you're once again showing what a great friend you are, and you've saved many like myself, time and money, ok?

it was a good game but I had to use a guide so many times because of how unclear most of the puzzles are

Did you confuse what the word "remake" meant.

Most remakes add more than just pretty graphics, though, ok?

I remember games on the old SNES and Genesis 16-bit consoles that were on cartridges costing $59.99 so times haven't changed much but you would think with games being on discs, they would be cheaper but they make money off games and peripherals so.

I mean, this one isn't on a disc, and $60 in 1992 would be worth a whole lot more than $60 today, due to inflation. That said, the price point for this remake has been one of the biggest issues people have with it, given that $40 has been the standard price point for other handheld games (of which this is a remake), it's a pretty straightforward remake that doesn't change up enough to justify spending that much on a second copy, and Nintendo has a recent history of only charging $40 for console games that intuitively don't seem like they're necessarily worth the full $60 price tag (Captain Toad and Kirby Rainbow Curse being the ones I can think of off-hand).

At the end of the day, it's still a full-scale Zelda game and you're likely to get $60 worth of play time and entertainment out of it, but I can understand why people are balking at the price.

I never would have paid $60 for it. I was waiting for some kind of decent sale. I got it as a gift so problem solved there.

Yeah its a remake. But it was the most fun Ive had with a game for a while. I couldnt put it down. And the graphic style was phenomenal. Worth $60 to me.

My Santa bought mine brand new from ebay for $41. I guess we'll be upset your Santa paid full retail price

I bought it for myself at full price >__>

I never played the original game though.
