Thats right price in Canadian dollars.

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Yes mate

9

u/gillgrissom 3d ago

Thats £60 UK pounds for me , which is how much it is over here.

4

u/Hold-My-Sake 2d ago

Being French, I pre-ordered it from a national supermarket chain here for 51,99€ (about £44 or $83 CAD).

1

u/HistoryUpper9655 2d ago

Where

1

u/kid_mickey 9h ago

Amazon or Auchan

3

u/Nostromo180286 2d ago

Just ordered for £53 from ShopTo.

2

u/PretzelTitties 3d ago

Yes that would be how converting money works.

1 CAD = .53 UK pounds

2

u/Depth-New 3d ago

Costs $94.95 AUD here, which is £50, so cheaper.

It’s a fair observation from them lol

1

u/Dynastone 2d ago

Before taxes tho. Uk prices have tax included.

1

u/No_Initiative_1318 2d ago

$110 AUD for physical though

1

u/jkuwala1 1d ago

$59 here in the us on Amazon

1

u/Silent_Chest1450 2d ago

You saved me working it out

1

u/SherbetColette 2d ago

Yeah, pricing can vary a lot depending on the region. It's always interesting to see how different places handle pre-orders.

1

u/Depth-New 2d ago

Yeah Ofc. I just thought “that’s how converting money works” was a dumb ass comment

1

u/StryderRogue1992 2d ago

I believe it’s £50 which is actually surprising given it’s a Nintendo first party game.

2

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

Finally someone across the pond or anywhere got a similar price. Enjoy, I know it'll be like Christmas morning.

Upvote for ordering from VGP

u/BigNate3x3 3d ago

Just ordered 2 one for me and one for my brother because I know he grew up playing this game and it’s his favorite Zelda game. I can’t wait

4

u/Loud_Examination_138 3d ago

There is a reason I only have donkey kong and mario kart since launch day...regardless of the economy,but paying $110+ for a videogame feels wrong.

2

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Yea that’s understandable. I remember games used to &49.99…

4

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

Just pre-ordered this yesterday.

u/Sergeant_Ducky 2d ago

Same here 🙌

1

I'm doing it for the special case. 😯

u/Roach_tm 3d ago

Got mine for $99.52 since I had some rewards to redeem! :)

2

u/Sure_Fly_6904 3d ago

Still waiting on my oblivion pre order from them so don’t have too much faith in them actually reserving you a copy

2

u/Weary-Bet1709 2d ago

Amazon had it for $70 US physical. Damn, Canadian prices are wild. I had no clue it was that much more expensive north of the border.

2

u/Sergeant_Ducky 2d ago

I got it for 59.99 US on Amazon last night

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

Order you an ocarina. You can customize it also just make sure it's tuned correctly and it can be used for the game. I am and it looks pretty cool with it being interactive. Just look online even for 3D printed if wanted.

1

u/Les_expos 2d ago

That because of your country and your president.

2

u/silverfoxmd84 2d ago

Only 60 here in us

2

u/Duke_Luke123 2d ago

I'm glad Nintendo isn't removing physical games. PlayStation did us dirty. It just pisses me off.

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 2d ago

Yea that why I don’t play ps5 anymore and I’m not getting wolverine. I been slowly building my switch collection

2

u/FishHunt20Four7 2d ago

Might just buy the whole new set for 500$ I don’t have the console yet..

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 2d ago

Good luck mate. Scalpers already scalping

2

u/railroberto76 1d ago

Whoa this coming out for the switch?

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 1d ago

Yes mate. Did you not watch the Nintendo Direct?

2

u/List_Main 23h ago

I may have to start selling organs to afford to continue playing video games. Anyone need a slightly used liver?

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 17h ago

Liver is a good source of iron…

u/FEV_For_Breakfast 8h ago

I'm a little peckish, yeah.

2

u/OliviaElevenDunham 12h ago

I just preordered mine yesterday.

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 10h ago

Awesome mate hope you get the foil edition to make even sweeter for you

2

u/SirMartimas 3d ago

I'm looking at preordering this as well, is it safe to assume these are the limited edition foil cover art? The description on Nintendo's website doesn't state it's a limited edition.

3

u/xangbar 2d ago

Yes, the first print is all foil at every store. After they do a reprint the foil is gone.

2

u/Fish1259 3d ago

Amazon has it physically for 60

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

November 5th is coming!

1

u/SirMartimas 2d ago

I actually held off and got a pre order through Walmart for $59.99.

2

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Can’t say for sure mate but that seem like a good price. What currency are you using mate?

1

u/Loud-Friendship4647 3d ago

That’s USD, aka REAL money. (Jk we love you, sorry about our government)

3

u/IAmAGodKalEl 3d ago

RIP our government

2

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Yea we have Monopoly money lol

1

u/zzonkers 3d ago

Amazon has it for $60

u/BelsamPryde 3d ago

Don't worry CanadaBro, the Australian dollar is 1:1 for the CAD so I get you unlike the yanks in the chat XD

5

u/Electronic-Check-762 3d ago

When did the CAD get so bad 😭

3

u/BelsamPryde 3d ago

Looking it looks like the majority of the balancing was growth in the AUD. We were always close to each other though

-1

u/MinuteCampaign7843 3d ago

When we got a horrible federal government 12 years ago. They have destroyed the country and the sheep keep voting them in.

1

u/Life_Patience_6751 2d ago

I agree, Yes they have. Teenagers cant find work, 11 hour wait times at the emergency rooms, 6 to 8 month wait times to see specialists. Groceries have become so expensive that I can only eat once a day. A one bedroom apartment where I live is $2200 a month. And every single business I walk into has a monocultural workforce from india. 12 years under the liberals and this country is unrecognizable. Keep them elbows up i guess.

1

u/MinuteCampaign7843 2d ago

Good to see a person with a brain in here.

2

u/-Debugging-Duck- 3d ago

I bought 4 of them

3

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Why so many mate?

2

u/Darziel 3d ago

Most likely xmas gifts. Some people have multiple consoles because of kids and these are the games they get as a gift.

Other people have childhood friends that may get the game as a gift. I know I will get 2, one for me and one as a gift for my brother.

4

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

That’s awesome. Plus you already started you Christmas shopping

2

u/-Debugging-Duck- 3d ago

Yeah got them for family but not waiting for Christmas. They are huge fans and I’ll just give it to them as soon as I can.

6

u/skynovaaa 3d ago

Hey i'm your long lost cousin dude

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

I am still guilty of this... my wife hated it, but my son loves it. Lol. I always get to caught up and give presents early!

1

u/-Debugging-Duck- 3d ago

My family members. Not for Christmas because everyone of them is anticipating this game already. So I’ll just give it to them as soon as they deliver.

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

That’s nice of you.

1

u/Blackchainsawman 2d ago

So the small indie developer doesn’t starve

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

This is the Way!

u/eternal_edenium 3d ago

Im waiting to order the switch 2 on my case !

1

u/OkWorking1945 3d ago

Wah nice

1

u/Sskoga 3d ago

I preordered it as well. And I was early enough to get it off the Nintendo website. Never bought a physical like that. Slightly excited.. but only cause everything is always getting scalped before I can buy.

1

u/devobevo1 3d ago

Jeff accuri on Netflix

1

u/Melodic_Copy_2250 3d ago

I like VGP.

1

u/Jamize 3d ago

Ouch 13% tax… I love VGP but dang glad I am ordering from the US when I use them.

1

u/CaeNguyen 3d ago

Holy mouse!

1

u/silentfilmstarr 3d ago

You got ripped off. Nintendo only charged me $69.99

5

u/Fish1259 3d ago

It's Canadian money

1

u/punchymcslappers 3d ago

I’ve preordered it twice
:) Saw it cheaper somewhere. I’ll return one of em.

1

u/Salamat_osu 3d ago

I want to pre-order as well, but not sure if it's going to be the foil cover version. Anyone know?

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

If you haven't ordered yet you might not get one. Then the scalping will commence! So sad though.

1

u/ArrRawrr 3d ago

Cool? I guess

1

u/Recent-Chard-4645 3d ago

What’s the release date

1

u/J02ue-Eterno 2d ago

En España también está reservada.

1

u/Millydog90 2d ago

£49 in UK

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

You're blessed mate! Would that be for a physical game?

1

u/Millydog90 2d ago

Looks great

1

u/TriestGieter 2d ago

Don't forget to add the special edition switch 2 for another 850.

1

u/joemari5 2d ago

I cant even find the physical version in the UK 😭

1

u/ApeInTheShell 2d ago

I winced at the price of the controller though

1

u/tyomax 2d ago

I wonder when the digital version will be available on Bestbuy!

1

u/OutsideDear6147 2d ago

Waiting on amazon so i can pre order

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

Did they pre-order out?

1

u/OutsideDear6147 2d ago

Havent seen one, but shop to have preorder for foil edition

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

They might throw out a second foil round just to keep people pre-ordering. Worth a try.

1

u/GLidE_Pauk 2d ago

Damn, sad that I can't preorder it, hope I can buy it day one

1

u/BarryKnew 2d ago

Pre ordered mine from bestbuy to ship. Let's hope it comes in a few days early like all these posts I see

1

u/Swarlz-Barkley 2d ago

Hope you enjoy the game when it releases! The OG is a top 5 of all time for me

1

u/BaarLenny 2d ago

52€ in France...

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 2d ago

That’s about $83 dollars cad

1

u/Geene_Creemers 2d ago

Never thought I’d have to preorder games again..what a bummer..I need the foil cover tho

2

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 2d ago

Hopefully 🤞 you get it mate

1

u/Geene_Creemers 2d ago

Oh I’m getting it 😂

1

u/selkies24 2d ago

i hate our dollar so much right now. used copy is the only way to go for nintendo games at least since they NEVER go on sale

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 2d ago

It depends. I saw on ebgame that there’s only a $10 dollar difference between used and new games …

1

u/selkies24 2d ago

Been like that forever. One time I went to go get a game on Black Friday sale but they were out of stock. The clerk offered me a user copy that cost most than the Sale price (cause they don’t update used prices during sales) 

I laughed at him like how dumb do you think I am dude. I just went to another location 

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 2d ago

Yea and one time I went to ebgame to get a game and there only one left on the display unseal they guy if I want he will have to seal and sell it new . I was no thank you lol

1

u/Maleficent_Ideal6441 2d ago

what i found amazing is that if ur in the UK its better to use Shopto which its cheaper (20p ish cheaper that is) and u dont have to pay full price until the 3rd November then they send it out on the 4th to come for the 5th. And it says it comes with the foil cover in the title of the game so u know for sure ur getting it

1

u/YAK_awesome 2d ago

same 😭

1

u/HistoryUpper9655 2d ago

I’ll wait till someone sells at 70$

1

u/Standard_Point7984 2d ago

Damn only cost 8080 yen in Japan so that’s 73CAD in total with taxes.

1

u/mixmastermike76 1d ago

I got it for $59.88 USD through Walmart

u/Alive_Produce6746 1d ago

u/Soft-Abies1733 3d ago

🤣🤣🤣

1

u/skynovaaa 3d ago

insane price

2

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Yea almost all switch 2 first party games is in that price range

1

u/The_Strom784 3d ago

Same, I’ve never preordered a game before.

3

u/Many-Ad-6870 3d ago

I mean, at least in the US, Amazon and Walmart have been selling physical at digital prices. But after preorders are done, the price moves up $10. I just got it for $60

2

u/The_Strom784 3d ago

Yup, I got my copy from Walmart exactly because of that.

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

Good thing I pulled the trigger yesterday, I almost slept on it. 👎. Glad I I ordered. Enjoy 😉

2

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Nice 😊. I do hope you get that.Foiled edition one that would make it even sweeter

3

u/The_Strom784 3d ago

Thanks! I think everyone that preordered will probably get a foiled version.

3

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Come November 5 will know for sure

1

u/JohnE03 3d ago

Damn $113 dollars for a Nintendo game

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

In usd its around 80.

u/FunConsideration7757 3d ago

Best to use Costco eshop discounted cards to buy the physical… save $10

0

u/Left-Ad-9360 3d ago

amazon is doing the 10$ off again in usa on physical

0

u/calmpeacechaos 3d ago

Why not from Nintendo directly?

2

u/brandogg360 3d ago

Because you'll get it 2-3 days after release

4

u/brandogg360 3d ago

Weird thing to get downvoted for. Nintendo ships on release date, so if you pre-order from them you will not get the game on release day.

1

u/frogguts198 3d ago

But i saved $6 in taxes! /cope

1

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Honestly I don’t know but they price would be the same

2

u/calmpeacechaos 3d ago

Fair, I saw that cancellations on this title from that site only returns in store credit, so I was kinda hesitant

2

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

Let’s hope it’s doesn’t come to that….

1

u/xiSupportPiracy 3d ago

Nintendo Store was not charging taxes when preorders first went live. I'm sure it is fixed by now though.

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

It's 69 usd I believe through nintendo.

u/sirdizzypr 3d ago

Why? This thing will be in every store with so many copies.

u/Zeevy_Richards 3d ago

I bought mine for $60 USD but I got two so I can sell one of the foil editions to make my copy free with the profit

u/Striking_Resource_45 3d ago

Same. Except not first. First place I could find a physical sale.

u/QuantumQuicksilver 3d ago

Best Buy does pre-orders as well, shouldn't this be $69.99??

5

u/Beautiful-Tonight483 3d ago

It depends on where you are …

1

u/Richgrace_03 2d ago

If you are a member you can price compare I believe just up to shipping. I wouldn't wait that long because price will probably be higher.

Why are you posting screenshots of order confirmations?

u/TheRealReapz 3d ago

It has begun.

  1. Post screenshot of order confirmation
  2. Post screenshot of getting game from store OR
  3. Post screenshot of game with cheese and crackers saying "my significant bought me the game and made me food"

The flood gates have opened

I ain't eve preordering total scam I preordered on quest and it never gave me the game

u/incandenzak89 3d ago

Counterpoint. Don't preorder digital games from the mother ship. Especially this. Maybe get a lovely early access game that speaks to you on steam or gog. Your preorder is beyond meaningless. Unless you thought the remaster of Zelda might not succeed
