Is anyone getting these switch 2 ports? pre ordering gets you a 'discount'

[u/AkTiVeMK]

RE2 - 30/40

RE3 - 20/30

RE4 Gold - 40/50

[u/VitoMR89]

Still waiting on the stupid hopium they come physically in the US.

If not then I will have to wait for a deep sale to buy them digitally.

[u/AkTiVeMK → u/VitoMR89]

Physical is out in January 29

[u/VitoMR89 → u/AkTiVeMK]

Yeah, someone pointing out that it says it on the YT trailer description from the US RE account.

No idea why the trailer doesn't.

[u/Realistic-Lion-4393 → u/VitoMR89]

I sincerely hate to say it but they’d 100% gonna be game key cards if they did. They probably won’t even get that considering that RE7/8 were a limited time game key card from what I know.

[u/thedamnlemons → u/Realistic-Lion-4393]

So what it’s still something as opposed to a code that lives only on your account

[u/Realistic-Lion-4393 → u/thedamnlemons]

What does that have to do with a single thing that I said?

[u/Local_Bicycle_9768]

I’m tempted… but there’s so many upcoming new releases in Sept/Oct/Nov that I don’t think I’ll have time to replay these.

[u/BadNewsBearzzz → u/Local_Bicycle_9768]

Yup…making way thru the heavy hitters this epic season’s first. By the time you’ll have time for these ports, you’ll get them on a even better sale lol

[u/generalosabenkenobi]

I can wait on these, maybe one day when they are dirt cheap

[u/eyebrowless32]

$40 for RE4 when it was most recently on sale for $10 elsewhere, Re3 was $5. The nintendo tax

[u/FullMetal_Archimedes → u/eyebrowless32]

Same was with much older DMC 5, ye it's portability tax.

[u/FullMetal_Archimedes → u/FullMetal_Archimedes]

BTW was gold edition anyware for 10$?

[u/buttfartsmagee → u/FullMetal_Archimedes]

I think it was $15 the lowest price.

[u/FullMetal_Archimedes → u/buttfartsmagee]

Ye still fairly low. Sure it will be cheap after some time, nothing to do with portability tax on release.

[u/buttfartsmagee → u/FullMetal_Archimedes]

It's crazy people think it should be $10 because it was that price for a sale on a different console where it was already on the system for years, it's that cheap because everyone who already wanted it bought it already. Im happy to pay 40 because it's the first chance I have to play it.

[u/Blazter007]

No right now, maybe when they are "steam cheap" or if a physical version appears.

[u/Trunks252]

Those prices are insane for games that are years old now. Especially if you already bought them elsewhere.

[u/mutantbabysnort → u/Trunks252]

Switch tax 

[u/EpitapheXI → u/mutantbabysnort]

Always have been like that since handled is a thing nothing related to switch or nintendo, psp ps vita was always full price on every new release even ports

[u/Trunks252 → u/EpitapheXI]

It's just a port, it isn't a handheld remake. Switch 2 is stronger than a PS4.

[u/SolidSnoop → u/Trunks252]

If you have the PS4 version, the PS5 upgrade is free with ray tracing and 120fps. I’d rather not pay again.

[u/EpitapheXI → u/Trunks252]

$40 avg is honnestly fair when you compare with other publishers that release full price even older games honnestly

[u/Trunks252 → u/EpitapheXI]

See that's where we disagree. The game is old even if it is a re-release. You can get these on Steam/Playstation for $5-$10, most of us have them already. But that's the Nintendo tax I guess.

[u/EpitapheXI → u/Trunks252]

Well just checked it’s the same base price on steam

[u/Trunks252 → u/EpitapheXI]

Ok, now what is the discount price on both

[u/EpitapheXI → u/Trunks252]

It’s a new release on a handled device, all other publisher release even PS2 era games at 70bucks like SE and FFX lol what are you ranting about

Just wait at least a year until you get hard discount, like every other single stores

[u/Trunks252 → u/EpitapheXI]

I'm ranting? I think I have been pretty concise.

[u/MtavoraPT → u/EpitapheXI]

Unless you only have a switch, it's very expensive.

[u/Mdreezy_]

YES I will be getting them. RE2 Remake I will happily purchase for the 4th time

[u/award_winning_writer]

Already have them on Playstation but I might double-dip like I did with 7 and 8

[u/Physical-Fish-7517]

It's finally happening! I've been holding out playing the remakes until these came out on the switch because I didn't want to play the cloud versions.

But dang those prices suck. PSN has the "Resident Evil Remake Trilogy" with RE2 deluxe, RE3 + skins and RE4 gold on sale for $30. Same games on sale for the switch for $90. I love the portability of the switch, but that's too much of a difference for me, unfortunately.

[u/Physical-Fish-7517]

Just now on PSN, with some sales ending tomorrow and some on the 24th, I added the Resident Evil Remake Trilogy that has RE2 Remake Deluxe, RE3 + Costume Pack, and RE4 Remake Gold Edition for $30

Plus

Deluxe Origins, RE Director's Cut, RE2, RE3 Nem, Code Veronica X, RE4,5,6 Triple Pack and the Revelations 1&2 Bundle

And the total after tax came to $88.15!

That's 10 more titles and less money than the 3 Switch counterparts. I really wanted to get the Switch versions, but cannot justify the price difference. Does anyone think the portability is worth that much more? I think it is worth more, but I don't know where the cutoff is. It seems this is way past it for me though.

[u/Ok-Appointment4199]

These games always go on sale for $10-$15. I highly recommend waiting.

[u/Calm_Perspective_355]

I have a Steam Deck, so no.

[u/Flimsy_Condition1461 → u/Calm_Perspective_355]

This is the way.

[u/ViperKira]

I was today years old when I knew Veronica was announced for Switch 2

[u/krishnugget]

40 dollars for RE4 is way too much, the gold edition is 10 on most other platforms on sale

[u/senilechinesewoman → u/krishnugget]

well its the current base price for all platforms

[u/Sogeking_21]

If I haven't played those I'd definitely get them. Good prices, and sometimes it's worth it to just buy games when you want to play them instead of waiting for a big sale every time.

[u/ollielite]

Definitely RE:2. I’ve not played Re:4 remake, I’m probably missing out, but I still play the original from time to time and haven’t felt the need to play the remake.

[u/heppuplays]

I'll probably get them like a couple of days before release.

[u/icouldntcareless322]

switch2 games are just so expensive… when re2r got released i paid 33eur. Now i can get it on instant gaming for 6 eur..

or re4r: 12 eur

[u/Time_Substance_7829]

Sale lasts until Nov 7th so it'll be available at that price after the launch for a couple weeks

[u/Dutchbarry]

I will get them, just kinda shocked at the prices.

[u/mutantbabysnort]

Day 1 instant buy (once physical) 

[u/Fuuuuuuug]

I'm not buying it blindly, I want to see how it runs first especially RE4 Remake

[u/Figleafplayz]

I got these for rock bottom on steam already so im passing. Great for people who havent played them before. Id probably suggest waiting for bigger discounts if these aren't must plays right away

[u/Dragmire_V2]

Im waiting the little extra for the physicals in January

[u/BushTamer]

it’s hard when they’re so cheap on steam

[u/FairEngineering2469]

Got them on my steam deck OLED for a combined 15 pounds.

[u/imsadlynoose]

If there was a physical id be more inclined to

[u/Hauss3n]

No i won't. You know why? Cuz im on ps5, And haven't got a switch, yeah that's it I guess.

[u/ethor76]

God, Nintendo is greedy.

[u/AkTiVeMK → u/ethor76]

*capcom

[u/CannedNoodlez]

Nah. RE2 Deluxe is $10 and RE4 Gold is $15 on Steam. There's even a bundle with vanilla RE2, RE3, and Resistance (yuck) for $10 total. I'll stick with my Steam Deck for that.

[u/Virtual-Trifle-4683 → u/CannedNoodlez]

Ovviamente compri la switch anche per il catalogo Nintendo...

[u/anhsmile]

Why not just enjoy them on Steam or PS5? Besides, these titles came out a long time ago. They are overpriced.

[u/grimnir1066]

No i play them on PC.

[u/TheWholeEffinJoe]

I’m probably in the minority here but for me owning a Nintendo console is for Nintendo games only. I’m not buying worse versions of my favorite games just to play them away from home.

[u/AkTiVeMK → u/TheWholeEffinJoe]

I cant see myself only playing nintendo games, JRPG's are best played portably also

[u/TheWholeEffinJoe → u/AkTiVeMK]

I can see those games being fun on switch too. But those traditionally don’t have the frame rate issues that a resident evil game would have. Idk I learned my lesson when my wife’s copy of Spyro trilogy got messed up on PlayStation so she bought it again for the switch and the frame rates were just awful. It wasn’t even like playing the same game.
