Saw these at RFD:

So yep, looks like it's following in Toad's footsteps as it is in Japan and getting a budget release! Naturally in the US it'll be $40, but nice to have some indication that it will indeed be budget priced.

Invite me to clay if old.

I plan on owning all Wii U exclusives regardless of price, but it's always nice saving a few bucks.

Persona7 · Dec 20, 2014

Nice, I'll pre-order.

Balb · Dec 20, 2014

Loving these b-tier (in price) Wii U games.

OrbitalBeard · Dec 20, 2014

Seemed like this would be the case, once it was revealed to be a budget title in Japan.

Can't wait to play it. Canvas Curse is awesome and the visual style in this game is gorgeous.

Yeah, more AAA developers should just make budget AA games.

The only thing that compensates for the lack of Nintendo game pricedrops.

Macapala · Dec 20, 2014

Yay! I can't wait until Q3 of 2015 to play this. thanks, Nintendo

I truly am looking forward to this game, just really salty that Nintendo are delaying it for seemingly no reason.

article?

El Odio · Dec 20, 2014

Maybe cause it's late but I can't think of any other budget titles other than Captain Toad. I haven't gotten it yet but it doesn't sound to be lite on content so I hope the lower price doesn't mean that here either.

You in EU? Because in NA I believe it's out on Feb 13th, but yeah EU gets it in the 2nd half of 2015 IIRC, the fuck?

maxcriden · Dec 20, 2014

Fingers way crossed. I am so psyched for this game!

Exile20 · Dec 21, 2014

Intereting strategy. I will be picking it up either way.

Wait, when did this get delayed?

Muzy72 · Dec 21, 2014

At $40 it's an easy day 1 buy

Aaron Strife · Dec 21, 2014

That can't be the right box art.

ohlawd · Dec 21, 2014

I think I have this preordered for 51 at Future Shop

welp, need to raise a stink and get a 20 dollar coupon somehow?

ZeroX03 · Dec 21, 2014

Can't wait to play this in 6+ months at full price because Europe.

Europe and Kirby games are oil and water.

Hibiki Kurosawa · Dec 21, 2014

Good. Next yeat is looking expensive for me.

lt519 · Dec 21, 2014

Nice! If it's anything like the DS game its going to be amazing.

Wowfunhappy · Dec 21, 2014

Welp, that's $5 higher than I expected.

Just looked up Kirby release dates for EU. Seriously WTF is up with NoE and Kirby? I had no idea it was that bad.

Yagharek · Dec 21, 2014

Of all the games to get a sequel I never expected Canvas Curse. It's like getting Sin and Punishment 2.

Surprised the box art didn't look like this:

Oh, *facepalm*.

Thanks.

TheDarkTriforce · Dec 21, 2014

The game also supports Amiibo

CoachKevin · Dec 21, 2014

Wow, it is $30 on Amazon in Japan. (3,300 yen).

Hope it is closer to $39.99 in the US than full retail.

sixteen-bit · Dec 21, 2014

Nice price, I'm in.

Gaiaknight · Dec 21, 2014

i always figured this would be a $40 dollar game much like captain toad. Nintendo has been great at pricing there published games this gen prices are all over the place.

Game & Wario, arguably New Super Luigi U.

Were you seriously expecting the game to be $40?

Velcro Fly · Dec 21, 2014

$40 is a nice price. With GCU I'm looking at $32. Seems like a fair gamble since I normally like Kirby games but normally am lukewarm on touchscreen controls for things.

MissileTrick · Dec 21, 2014

$40 is an easier price to deal with for most people for a Kirby game. Day one buy for me surely. I have a feeling Yoshi will have a similar price range.

I'm thinking Yoshi will be $50, like Tropical Freeze. I obviously have nothing to really base this on though, just a hunch.

jimi_dini · Dec 21, 2014

This needs a Limited Edition.

At least give me a Limited Edition for Yoshi's Yarn. I need this plush Yoshi.

Yeah I can see that. I just can't see it going for $60. It's absolutely bonkers that Tropical Freeze was only $50 considering the amount of content in the game.

I think you're on the money with that one. Yoshi is about as popular as DK, but not anywhere near the rest of the core Mario cast.

backlot · Dec 21, 2014

Wow, I didn't even realize this was getting a retail release.

IsntChrisL · Dec 22, 2014

I love that at least one of the big three is still exploring flexible pricing with their retail games. I hope Nintendo + indies gets this practice back into the mainstream.
