as an American I can confirm everything is overpriced, not just paper Mario.

Australians are paying $69aud (cheapest business cost) Converted in GBP = 36.01 Converted in USD = $46.03

79.99 Canadian.

I was in London when Super Mario Wonder came out and I was able to get it for 40 pounds. It was on sale, but Mario games almost NEVER go on sale in America on release day.

I rarely buy any game nowadays at the initial retail price. I wait for a sale or just buy a used copy for much less. I just don't have the urgency to buy new games when I have such a backlog of older games I have yet to play.

it's $4 for a medium fries from mcdonalds in some places in america

While i do feel like $60 is a bit much and it does suck that we're paying more than other countries, it definitely would have been too much for a simple port without any changes or graphical upgrades. At least it isn't $70 like a lot of newer games these days.

I'm not sure where you've been for the last while, but here in the UK 99% of the time a $60 game is usually £50 in the UK, not £60.

Nothing new from Nintendo, they removed tropical freeze from the Wii U shop before selling it at full price on switch, Nintendo knows who is willing to pay more.

Ok, now I'm just in a very bad mood! I feel like screaming at my giant mario figure!

My Gamecube still works fine, I will just get that version. Checking E-Bay.... oh. nm.

I have the original on GameCube and it's just fine.

Well it is included in their voucher program, so you can get it for $50+ tax. I also think it’ll be $50 or less for the physical around Black Friday.

im am going to take a break from gaming im going fishing

Can’t wait to pay $70 for Windwaker HD Switch Remix!

It's for sale for $69 aud in Australia and includes our 10% tax. That's only $45 usd

in Canada we pay even more

I don't remember when Lady Decade switched to ragebait

Call me crazy, but I always liked the original paper Mario on n64 as my favourite paper mario game

It is a full game. cant say that about newer games.

Lady Decade, I subscribed because your videos are super cool!

1 dozen eggs went from $1 a dozen to $3. How about they adjust my paycheck for inflation? naw f u. same pay, 2-3x the price.

I don’t necessarily disagree with your perspective here personally I’m opting to support the release of this game with the intent of proving to Nintendo that this is the kind of Mario RPG that people really want to play, compared to past Paper Mario releases like Sticker Star and Color Splash. Whether that message will stick or not I can’t personally say, but one can hope.

Looks like I’ll be importing my copy

It might be a supply and demand thing and doesn’t have as much to do with costs and taxes

It is misleading calling it a re-release though as it has never been on Switch before and it’s completely different graphics when compared to the GameCube version and not just in resolution. Hence why it is only 30 fps. If it was an actual straight re-release it would be much lower resolution without all the extra detail added to scenes and run at 60 fps. The game is currently 15 percent off on Amazon in Australia too. Or $68 Aus which is not too bad really and is equivalent to $45.31 US.

I already am furious 😡

I'm actually coming back to this video after watching your follow up video. Good content!

America and Latin America games are really expensive specially for Nintendo games, and rarely the games get a price drop, is a common topic

i loved that Nintendo transition LOL 12:38 🤣

Relax, in Brasil is 60$, and the wage is over 300$

Officially €60, but actually around €50 for the physical version due to shops selling it cheaper since the release. Including VAT 21%. 40 pound is € 47. That's cheap. However I noticed Amazon and other bigger seller drop their prices to € 50 the day after laucnh here as well. It was €55 before that. It seems either there are less copies sold then expected or they are competing heavily with each other. Edit: This is why I buy my Switch games physical, unless they are online at least 50% on sale. It's almost always like this.

Why is the square not on the box was it not made but final fantasy people or was it RPG ?

I couldn’t give a damn, Nintendo Live is finally coming to my country in Sydney Australia!

Lady Decade is becoming Palapatine's new apprentice.

Wow! Its only equivalent of around US$40 here in Australia. AND we normally pay MORE than the exhange rate price (due to global location and 10% tax). Thats wild

I'll sum this video up. Im out of topics to make videos about.

I know that’s makes sense but. What about that your thoughts about Paper Mario TTYD remake after you playing this game?

The 60usd is also before you add the local state sales tax. In Nevada you'd add an additional 8%.

Im so over the Pricing on games in 2024. Never before did i consider buying only pre-owned, But i truly am.

@1:45 I'm surprised you didn't point out that Metroid Prime was _also_ a AAA Gamecube title, re-released on the Switch, and was $40.

10:00 Statics are not accurate considering minimum wages in the US depends on the state and there are a lot of states right now are under $11/hr. In most cases cost of living is between 60% to 80% higher than our income depending on if you own a home or rent a home.

When Super Mario Bros. 3 was released in 1988, it cost about 50 or 60 USD. That would be over 100 bucks in today's money.

I'm Canadian and its 80 dollars out here for a physical copy not counting taxes and shipping 😑

60 dollars is a bit steep, I still have my original GC copy but I have been loving playing through the Switch version. It looks so nice. I've literally put 20 hours on it already lol.

Sadly as someone from the US I've gotten used to paying 60 dollars for games. Had no idea it was cheaper in the UK, Europe and Japan. 😂🤯

Greed in the US is insane right now.

Astronomically expensive is normal for Switch games in Australia

Steller blade is $89 pre owned or $98 new and paper mario is $79 new here in Australia

You haven't seen anything yet. Prices are about to be $70 to match PS/Xbox.

I haven't heard "gracious living" in a while lol

Paper Mario: TTYD (Switch) isn’t a “rerelease” of the GCN original. It’s a total remake, built from the ground up using their current Paper Mario: The Origami King engine.

Japan’s yen is extremely weak right now against the US dollar, so it appears cheaper in comparison to the US.

I've pretty much prefer to pay 60 dollars for an 20 year old game remake than paying 100-200 to own it's original version :P

The price is set at a level that will maximize the total expected revenue. To me it shows that switch new game sales have been sluggish in the UK, so they are using a lower price to at least move some copies. Also the Japanese example is thrown off by recent changes in the value of their currency, traditionally 5000 Yen is closer to $50. Since Nintendo games are a domestic product for them they don't have to pass along that changed exchange rate.

I wish it was only $60. I am in Canada so it is $80 CDN for a triple A game. I got it for the Mrs for her birthday and I got it at GameStop so it was $84 cause they tacked on their ridiculous extended warranty and then 15% sales tax for our part of the country. The grand total was $96.60 CDN so this is the reason we don’t buy a lot of brand new games.

Nintendo has surprisingly been 98% consistent on games costing anywhere from $40-$60 (depending on the game). Other companies meanwhile release in broken or even buggy states or even have battle passes or a load of Day 1 DLC and whatnot and demand $70 from players anyway.

Physical games on large retailers in Finland are often very cheap, 10-20€ less than the digital versions, it's crazy.

I’m going back to play the old school version 😂😂

Nah, im very happy with Paper Mario and every new fan who is enjoying it.But thanks for the concern.

I'm pretty much at a point where I will only buy games when they are discounted. I can remember growing up in the uk years ago when a decent video game in the micro era cost around 8-10 UK Pounds

The Yen is also very weak at the moment.

Great Stuff!

Dang I should've imported it. Why is this the first I'm hearing about it, I wonder

What if I imported the physical game from other countries selling it for less? Can I do that? Also, $60 is the norm for Nintendo branded games. My guess is it’s to offset piracy.

In Italy costs 60 euros

I bought the switch version as well as the og version cuz I wanted both.

Thanks for the demo and info, I agree with you, what the heck with that price? Have a great day

I was almost certain this was about 30fps 😅

Within the past few years, ive limited the amount of games i buy by over 90%. even games id probably enjoy i wont buy because of the prices and practices by these companies. i spend more times on games i already own and often wait for a sale on something im interested in. its a sad time for gaming.

Thank you Dolphin🥰🥰

There is a reason I don't preorder games, but it's not much to do with the price. I wouldn't mind paying $60 for a splendid remake of a game I love, but not if we're going to "modern audience" it. I still have my Gamecube copy and I'll stick with that.

And in Europe everything is overpriced too.

Lady Decade, you are forgetting that the yen is currently very "weak" compared to USD - that's why it's technically so cheap in japan ^^; If the value of yen were stronger ( as it sometimes is ) the difference would not be that big.

As an european i preorder the game and the price was as much as any other game 60€ but i followed the entire situation and i remember at some point nintendo deleted preorders from amazon US. i don't want to theorize but for me they didn't think the game would have sell so well on preorders (with 10/10 reviews) and they had to rise the prices to compensate. the game is awesome and for paper mario fan that can afford it i would suggest to buy it or wait when it's on sale

Paper Mario TTYD is AU$79.95 in Australia & cheapest is AU$69. That equates to US$46-54 or £36-43.

1:57

Thanks for the worldly knowledge and I am not surprised about Japan but as well as Europe? Just crazy.

*_"What a way to run a railroad."_* 🤦‍♂️

Shhhhh don’t tell em!

I only buy carts for switch as they are at least 35% off from the eShop. But it really sucks that Nintendo doesn't let us install on the SD card.

I’ve never played it, but I know American audiences have been buzzing about this release for years. Maybe the demand is higher in the US than other regions? Either way, I’ll be waiting for $30. Don’t care how long. It’ll be shelved for any consideration until then.

The only reasoning I can think of is that Nintendo knows its a beloved game and they can get away with selling it for more. Fans will pay full price. And the fact its a Mario game. Mario games typically sell. 60 dollars it is.

Thanks for letting me know. I showed this information to my friends. Guess I’ll buy all my games from Japan and have them shipped over lol.

Well..a Switch with Atmosphere and Tinfoil..And Cost is not an issue..literally 😁👌

$90 (tax included) for it in Canadur 😕

it isn't uncommon for developers to make regional pricing to account for the economies of the countries to make it affordable for the people in those countries because 60 USD may not be a lot in the US, but it could be overseas or elsewhere it could be a huge difference

59€ in holland also. as far as i know.

Me who is enjoying the game: 😬

Average KZfaq getting salty over anything

Me happy to pay it cause I only buy great games and felt like I got a steal getting Metroid Prime Remastered for $39.99 last year. So it's like I paid 39 for TTYD and 59 for MPR.

I am side eyeing the old pirate hat....

I live in the US, and I just bought the physical version off eBay earlier today for just shy of 50 dollars. It's certainly still a little high considering it's a remaster of a GameCube game, but I don't think it's TOO bad. After all, this isn't just any GameCube game we're talking about. I would make the same argument for Super Mario RPG. I think there are bigger problems with gaming these days then the prices of these particular games, but I will refrain from going down that rabbit hole and making this a ridiculously long post.

Oh that reminds me, if you don't want to pay 60 usd you can go with bug fables which i consider to be a spiritual success to pmttyd for only 20 usd

I just bought it in Japan and I believe it coverts to being $44. All games are much cheaper in Japan. I brought it home to the US. Works fine in English.

What,scalpers,back again but maxed out leveling hp with a special day of an bonus exstra,leveling up.😅

Just wait till Christmas and the price will be probably lower unless Nintendo decides to put the price to the same as the switch then nobody will want it .

First off, I love your channel, and secondly what really ticked many Americans off concerning the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, was what I call the phantom cancellations of online preorders. To illustrate, imagine Lady Decade, you live somewhere which lacks any gaming retail stores, so your only option is to preorder it online. However, if the game you desire is highly popular, you have to contend with the scalpers who will implement bots to snatch up all the preorders, thus when the game comes out, they force you to pay double or triple the price of the game's retail value. This is exactly what happened when the Big 'N' foolishly decided to make the special edition of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, which had an art book. The scalpers did not hesitate into causing Nintendo to sell out of their preorders, but prevented others from genuinely preordering the title. However, as fate would have it, because Nintendo swapped XC3 with Splatoon 3's release date, the scalpers were left high and dry, since the game itself came out in June, but the special edition goodies came out in September. Meaning customers were not going to purchase the art book and other items, since they already had the game itself. Yet, I digress, imagine because of this fiasco, when Nintendo heard their online preorders had instantly sold out moments after they announced this title's release date. Fearing the worst, where scalpers would seize all the preorders, then sell the title at outrageous prices, either on Amazon or eBay, they had immediately cancelled all preorders of said title. Then adding if they want this title, they would have to go to a local game retailers, in person, and preorder the physical copy. For many of us here in the States, this was indeed frustrating, since the only way to purchase the title online was to wait for it to come out on release date. Meaning many fans were SOL in preordering the title online, and some were furious, since the only local game store in their area is miles away from their home. Though Nintendo claims they did this to stop scalpers from hoarding the game and reselling it at outrageous prices, all it really did was frustrate and anger many customers wanting to purchase the title itself.

Great video Lady D.
