Lost in the news shuffle from yesterday’s announcement, Nintendo has confirmed that the upcoming Star Fox 64 remake, aptly titled Star Fox, will be releasing for $49.99 digitally and $59.99 physically. This follows for other regions, as well, with the UK release being £41.99 for digital and £49.99 physical. Japan sees the game priced at ¥5,480 (roughly $35) digitally, and ¥6,480 (roughly $41.50) physically.
Since Nintendo didn’t mention pricing during the brief Direct yesterday, some people were speculating that there wouldn’t be a pricing difference between versions for Star Fox. The confirmation here now marks the third game from Nintendo that will follow suit with its new policy. The first two were Yoshi and the Mysterious Book and Splatoon Raiders.
If you’re a physical collector and looking to save some money, Walmart is already price matching Star Fox with the digital version. Amazon doesn’t have the change yet, but will likely do so in the coming hours. The previous two discounted titles are cheaper on Amazon, and it starts to make you wonder why Nintendo wouldn’t just price everything $10 cheaper.
