That's probably a mistake. I don't see Nintendo adding $10 to the price of normal games.

FF3 isn't the only DS game that costs $35... Those games usually range from $30-$35.

First Party Nintendo Games are usually $50.  It could be a mistake seeing that Brawl doesn't have any solid info released about it yet.

Hmmm... I guess I forgot that. You're right, I have no clue why they did that.

But that's really beside the point here, as we're discussing Wii games, one that Nintendo is releasing no less (instead of Square Enix). I'm sure that the price will be $50.

maybe they spent more time and money on making the game so they raised the price to make up for lost money, or they know we will still buy it at this price, or its just a mistake. who knows, i dont really care, thats how much i spend on my 360 games so its nothing new to me.

i believe that it will be the price because they mentioned that it wont fully utilize the wii remote for battles and only for specials

so i think the added 10$ is prob cuase its going to come with either a gamecube controllers or a virtual console controller which will be used to play the game

imo they should make this game at least 10-15$ cheaper than regular wii games. why? b/c if the controls are infact gc or cc ..ppl are gonna hvae to buy those.  and if they want to experience 'nintendo's best in 4 player' well thats 4 cc or gc controllers for those who never had gc or cc controllers.

I'd buy that game even if it were 100 dollars if it ensured that it were online and had megaman, sonic, and at least one character from golden sun.

reggie ff 3 for ds how do u explain that 5$ price up on it.merch

I remember when the DS first came out, the Madagascar game (based off of the Dreamworks movie) was $40 for no real reason. FF3 isn't the only one, and its probably just because the development costs were higher than normal.

Square-enix knows they could get lots of people to pony up 40 bucks for it in the states. They got loads of people in Japan to pony up even more for the game and a limited edition DS version with the game.

The reason Brawl will be $60 is if they bundle it with a classic controller... maybe there are people that know something we don't know.

If it is more than $50, it'll be because they pack-in a controller.  This won't be the case IF SSBB uses the Wiimote.

That's Square-Enix's doing, not Nintendo.

And Nintendo announced all first party Wii games will stay 50 dollars, before launch.

The legendary edition of Halo 3 was listed as $99.99 for weeks.  It's actually $129.99.  It could still be a mistake.

The price is mere speculation at the moment... heck, they probably just copy-pasted the whole box from another game and just didn't bother to change that variable.  Super Mario Galaxy and MP3 have the same speculative price posted.

they probably just use the same template as another Next Gen game console for every game, and just change the coloring.

I cannot believe some of you are seriously suggesting that it will really cost 60 dollars, and aren't just realizing its a placeholder till the game nears release and the boxart/other info listed on the page is updated.

It uses a much larger than normal cart (1GB).

Hmm... but I don't think that would be enough to hike the price. Nintendo switched to cards for a reason: They're a heck of a lot cheaper to make than carts.

Well Official Nintendo Magazine in the UK says 1GB so thats all I can think of :P

I don't think a raised MSRP is a good idea. On the same note, I'd happily drop 100 dollars on this game if I had to.

Man I live in New Zealand (by Australia, no one knows where we are) and the games here (the good ones like Zelda and stuff) cost like $120 and I think in currency exchange you are pretty much our price divided by 2 isn't it? the Wii here costs $500. So if I am right shouldn't your Zelda cost $60 so if SSBB cost $60 it wouldn't be that different. Or I got all my stuff mixed up and I look like and idiot now.

Damn here in Australia we pay $100 ($85 US) for all new games. Lucky bastards.
