My expectation with a sequel is that you’re taking a big step beyond what you did in your last game, and what you’re introducing goes further than what you could do in an update. There’s still time, but I can’t say I’ve seen that yet from Splatoon 3.

It won’t be popular but Nintendo can absolutely justify charging $70 for Tears of the Kingdom. It’s their most premium game and they can point to earlier pricing by Sony and Xbox as setting the market. I doubt this will be their default pricing for everything from here on.
