So Argos are charging you €7 more than your British cousin. I know it's a pre order special but that's exactly what ye have done today. And the pre order should count until the new year because that's its official release date(2nd January). Even GAME are charging £30 and you know what they're like. I don't think this game is very good and it's still overpriced. It's supposed to be a budget title. €40 plus is not a budget title. It should be €20-€25. Certainly won't be buying this until it's €10.

You're living in make believe land thinking its should be that price at launch. Maybe in 6 months/year it'll go down slightly but not to those rediculous prices.

Hopefully the eShop price will reflect this, but the idea of the eShop pricing something reasonably has caused some sort of cognitive schism in my brain, so I have to stop typing and mop up the blood.
Tomo.Murphy wrote: » Yeah, but Nintendoland is more of a tech demo, like Wii Play, etc. The mini game releases like those don't hold their price well unless they en up being considered rare. This is different entirely. Plus, comparing console releases between Japan and EU/US is apples and oranges. Name the last console that did well over there.
These days it sometimes feels as if developers are focusing so heavily on cramming each game full of features that they ultimately lose sight of what's most important - the core gameplay. In contrast, Treasure Tracker just feels like a perfectly realised product - and as such, a breath of fresh air. There's no fluff here, just gameplay backed up with perfect performance and beautiful visuals. It's a ton of fun to play and its technology never lets it down. It's easy to get wrapped up in the issues and details surrounding the technical performance of modern titles, but Treasure Tracker reminds us how wonderful it is when superbly polished technology perfectly serves the game design. Ultimately Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is another must-have title in Nintendo's expanding lineup of Wii U software - a game that is perfectly realised within the constraints of the system, achieving everything it sets out to accomplish. It's an approach we'd like to see more developers take - to find beauty in restraint. This is the type of game that will remain fun to play years down the line, well after the Wii U is off the market, and the product you get on the disc is all you'll need. In that sense Nintendo is still delivering products today just as they have for decades - an almost flawless consistency that's a rare and precious thing.

We'll see what the eshop has it at to determine Nintys value of it. Until then €40 ish to me sounds about right. This doesnt seem like a small game. Loads of levels, loads of game time. If you want a puzzler its looks good.
