These lowered prices are reportedly due to reduced royalty fees that must be paid to Nintendo by companies developing Nintendo games. So, Big-N is allowing publishers to sell these upcoming third-party titles for a budget price.

We contacted Nintendo in Europe to ask whether this will also be the case in Europe. They commented that they did not hear of such a thing as of yet.

The games listed below will be released in America for a retail price of $39.99, which is 10 dollars below the regular price.
