Higher price point blows. From an evil genius perspective they picked the right game to do it with. I remember having a conversation with someone at the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo about the upcoming Breath of the Wild sequel, it wasn't at last year's event, and there were no events for two years because of Covid so you're looking at a game with 4 years of anticipation. So I imagine few of us will hold firm on a price increase done at the eleventh hour.
I typically just watch Deku Deals and get games when they're on sale. I don't typically need to play games on day 1 anymore and I have a backlog of stuff to play anyway. But Zelda is the sort of game to jump the queue and be a day 1 purchase. And my brother is also planning to get it at release and is being rather insistent that I get it at the same time. Nintendo first party games don't go on sale often but there is the odd time where they'll at least knock off a few bucks around Black Friday or so which would presumably bring it back down to the old price point.
For future releases I can wait and pretty much never spend $90 CAD but Zelda is a big exception and, man, Nintendo totally knew that.
