Nintendo is experimenting with an increased price for their upcoming summer blockbuster, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, pricing it at the next-gen price of $69.99. Nintendo also clarified that it doesn’t plan to price all their upcoming games at this price, but that Tears of the Kingdom’s content and innovation is deserving of that price.
Many retailers have already tried offering some discounts on the game, but GameStop’s current trade-in offer might be the game’s best one yet. GameStop is currently running a promotion until May 20th, letting people trade in two eligible games toward Tears of the Kingdom, and purchase the game for only $20, giving a guaranteed $50 toward the new game.
GameStop laid out an entire list of games that are eligible toward the trade-in, with many of them being relatively new, but there are plenty of older games that are eligible too, even the original Breath of the Wild. It’s important to note that if the trade-in value exceeds $50, the remainder of that trade-in credit can’t be put toward Tears of the Kingdom, and will instead be put on a gift card that can be used on future purchases toward a different game.
