So far, I've only fallen for it once. I had to have Mario Kart World to play when I bought the Switch 2. Since then I've not fallen for it and will likely remain resistant at this price point. It'll take some serious first party Nintendo magic to catch me again.

The last time I paid $80 for a game was when I purchased Bangai-O for the N64 importing it from Japan CIB. That was the most I ever paid for a game. Presently $40 is a strain on the old wallet. I don't have the Switch 2. But upgrading to the next generation is just totally out of my reach now-a-days.

Rate resistance really hits me at the 70-dollar mark when it comes to games. It's been a long time since I've dug into a Fire Emblem game, doens't look like I'm gonna break that streak any time soon.

Its still wrapped. If I don't open it soon it'll just fall deeper in the backlog.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.  There seems to be a good amount of buzz around this title... The Fire Emblem series is widely popular.  This is also one of the few $80 games right now. 

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave looks like it might be cool... but I'm out at $80.  For me, it's going to have to be a mind blowing title for $80.

Release date: 09/17/26
Price: $80 physical $70 digital
Nintendo Direct Link: https://www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-direct/8-4-2026/

Amazon Affiliate Pre-order link: https://amzn.to/4hW186h

Are you excited for this title and looking forward to another entry in the Fire Emblem series?  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

@mastermario  --> I know... Goldeneye LOL.  When we played that... I was all over the place.  I'm not even sure I killed you.  The floor and ceiling were Swiss cheese... barely hit a wall.

I need to try the Super Mario 64 Mod with you and @SpartanEvolved.   I wonder if one will come out for DK64.

Honestly, I haven't even tried DK64 yet... I am excited about this.  Times are just busy right now.

LOL... So, I still have not played this game... outside turning it on.  I think I will earmark 15-30 minutes Sunday for this.  I need to state I've played it!

@targetrasp what about you?

Did anyone else end up buying this game?

Genuinely curious... are you buying any game at $80?  Not bundled with anything else... you cannot count the bundles.

Well then... I need to look into Tubi!  Haven't tried it yet.  Now that everything else has gone to ads, there's less hold out I suppose
