Dragon Quest XI S and Dragon Quest Builders 2 on Switch have a new price of $49.99 starting today

I hope we return to the days where Nintendo would promote and/or release re-issues of popular games on their platforms at a significant discount, like in the Gamecube and Wii days.

That said, with how seemingly greedy Nintendo has become since the Switch launched, I'm happy to see any MSRP drop.

 

[Oreiller]

lol I just bought the PS4 version of Builders 2 for 9€.

 

[dep9000]

LOL! Still more expensive than elsewhere.

Well with MSRP's going to $70 this gen maybe there will finally be parity with the Switch versions of games? There's usually a $10 Nintendo tax so that'll all even out, right? Until Nintendo starts charging $70 on first party titles....probably with the Switch 2

Will this price drop also come to Canada? On eshop it doesn't show a lowered price for me.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I'm not buying a game available for much cheaper on other platforms for more. Not a god damn chance.

 

[Nax]

Lol fuck off Nintendo. DQ Builders 2 is $20 on PS4.

ahh.

 

[RoadDogg]

Been waiting on DQB2 to be half off like it was in EU last year but it will never happen. I will just never play it I guess. My "but" price is $20 now and if gets to June it will be $10.

Imagine how much simpler things would be if Square Enix weren't allergic to publishing their own games on Nintendo platforms.

 

[DooD1234]

That nice but it still cheaper on other platforms lol. I'll continue to wait patiently for it to drop in price some more. Would like to continue playing after my time with the demo in my bed.

 

[dragonflys545]

Those prices ridiculous... Even when Sony publishes nioh2, you can grab the game during sale for 9.99.

 

[Solid SOAP]

Epic deal!

 

[Dekuman]

It's $20 physical on PS4.

Steam version is still $60 though, oof.

Click to shrink...

Nintendo forced to price drop and still more expensive.🤡



Is it $20 officially on PS4 or is that retailers cutting the price to offload excess stock?

Click to shrink...

Pretty sure its retailers cutting prices as loss leaders or to get rid of stock in the case of older games.

I buy lots of games physical on a pre-order basis because they can be found up to $20 cheaper on Amazon sometimes, that's not the true MSRP.

 

[Kandinsky]

They removed both from the (shitty) Chilean eshop lol

 

[youwei]

its a fact that discount isn't much as NA eshop does not have a a sale yet iirc for DQXIS and DQB2 has a season pass , both games should be 39.99 for the holiday season if possible

 

[Barrakketh]

Ah, so then yes, the price at the time of release is definitely justified. Maybe sound quality still holds up today.

There was actually more to it than the soundtrack. The "New Features" section of the XI S OT has more details, and it was ported using a newer version of Unreal. The complaints about it now is because the publisher for Switch (Nintendo) isn't dropping the price to match the recently released PC/Xbox One/PS4 ports ($39.99, so a $10 Switch tax).

Will this price drop also come to Canada? On eshop it doesn't show a lowered price for me.

Staples has it for $65 (lol).

 

[Spartacris]

The game is incredible and with that price IMO.

Well it's also $20 on the official Square Enix Store.
