First Capcom lies about UmvC3 today, and now this? (Capcom previously blamed the earthquake for a disc only update, and today Seth Killian blamed Marvel, and the country of Japan itself).
Im not yelling "boycott", but you have got to be kidding me.

3DSes can use any SD cards, right? If so, I'm not fazed. They should at least have it come with a special SD card or bundled with a Circle Pad. Just something to justify the price.
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW? PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND 10 EXTRA DOLLARS. WAH WAH WAH BOO FUCKING HOO MML3 CRAPCAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWMMMMMMMM.
Fuck haters, Get Hype.

Well, I can understand the annoyance this might cause. However, I will still buy it, because I'm willing to bet that it's worth the money, especially if it's better than RE 5, a 360 title.
Same thing that happened when games went from $50 to $60. Developers claimed the needed more money because next-gen games cost more to develope.
That said, most of the textures on the 3DS are terrible. If $10 more means the games will actually look good, I'll pay it.

"In order to prove that this game is a serious deal for the 3ds and that the 3ds ain't worth shit we've had to raise the price. I know some of you might be upset. Sorry, we mean to say we hope some of you are upset. That was our intention."
Well then Capcom, let's hope your game is good enough to justify the extra money. We had better not get another RE5 situation.
All this means is that they had better make the game a better deal. Considering how Raid Mode alone looks to be a superior experience than Mercenaries, they have a good chance.
Game costs more money to make, therefore requires more money to break even and profit in sales.
Consumers don't care, they're entitled as shit. That game should be free and you should pay me to play it. This is how you guys sound.

Lol. Memory at this scale just isn't that expensive anymore. I expect there will be a price drop not long after launch.
I don't really care. If the games good and offers enough content then I'll still buy it. At the same time I hope it doesn't become the standard.
I don't even pay $50 for console games. All this greedy price tag does is make me wait to pick it up 1-2 months later when it has inevitably dropped by $20 like every other game this generation. There are too many other reasonably priced games out there that need playing and once you just allow yourself to get into the cycle of being 1-2 months behind on games, you end up being able to constantly get "new" games for $30-40, even "high quality console experiences on handhelds" thanks to Amazon, Target, and Best Buy all fiercely competing lately (thanks CAG!).
That being said, Capcom will sell this $50 and do so with great success because there are people out there who have to buy every iteration of Street Fighter, Dead Rising, and Marvel vs Capcom day 1 along with every piece of day 1 on-disc $5 DLC that accompanies it.

All things considered, I'm alright with that. If better games for the 3DS (Graphics, length, custscenes, etc) cost a little more, that should be fine....and hey, at least they didn't hold off on RAID mode and sell it on another cart as ultimate RE Revelations.

Because Capcom has been making re-releases of games since Final Fight.

Well to be fair RE 4 sold for $50 on GameCube & RE 5 sold for $60 on PS3/360.
I'm not saying it's totally okay that they're doing this, but if this is around the same quality and scope as those 2 games then I don't think the price is too bad.
If you don't want to pay $50 for it just wait a couple months for a price drop, or get in on that Amazon pre-order because they have a price-lock guarantee.

yes bigger cards are more expensive but if you can get a 4gb micro sd card as a consumer for less than 6€ in the Netherlands you it cant seriously warrant a increase in price of 10$ while the sd card I buy has far more costs than a bigger storage 3ds card. I expect the additional costs for the bigger card to be around 1/2$ at the most.
I am honestly surprised this hasn't happened sooner. You want console experiences on the go? You're going to be paying console prices.
@DannyGunSlinger
You tard, a price increase in the US means an even greater price increase in the UK. If anything, this news is more relevant to the rest of the world. I know that in my country that $10 hike will come out more like an extra $20

"3DSes can use any SD cards, right? If so, I'm not fazed. They should at least have it come with a special SD card or bundled with a Circle Pad. Just something to justify the price."
I'm not sure I get what you mean, this doesn't have anything to do with SD cards. Its the size of the game cartridge itself. Capcom is going to be using a bigger Solid State card for the game, and so *whooop* price goes up $10.
Also, most companies handle the save data (if you meant anything towards save data in the above quote) on the gamecart itself (unlike what the Vita will be doing) though I have heard some light rumblings that that choice is completely up to the developer. Any data you might find on your SD card pertaining to a game you've played (from what I understand) is usually just additional data, and not saves.)
You are completely correct though, Revelations would be the perfect game to pair the Circle Pad Pro with for the West. I'm getting the game and the Circle Pad any way, it'll just make things all that much easier to have them in one box.
I -suppose- what people should be getting up in arms about with this is the fact that the common person (Read: Most of us) aren't going to really know if all that space is actually necessary, even despite the audio/visual evidence the game produces. Without some sort of tangible knowledge to those ends, like someone actually ripping into the cart to see and report, a lot of people are going to just go on believing that Capcom is price gouging. And until then we have every reason to believe they could be.
Also, another ill fated thing to spring up from this is Capcom or any other company can go on to put all of their games on bigger cards (or claim their cards are bigger), whether it's necessary or not, to cash in on this $50 price tag to see if people will continuously bite -raising the price for handheld games for the system again. It'd alter the standard away from where people feel handhelds should be/always been: a cheaper gaming alternative/fix.
Of course, those would be the smart reasons to feel all Hulk Smash(!!) about it. Not sure how many people will go down that road.

I fail to see why this cost is being passed onto us, if they believe in their game as much as they let on, then shouldn't they easily be able to recoupe the extra money the had to put into the development? This is like if Bethesda suddenly charged 70$ or 80$ bucks for Skyrimm, we'd fucking buy it, but would it be fair?
wtf Dai Saito is writing this game?????
amazing O_____O
he wrote the script in:
Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex and 2nd Gig
Samurai Champloo
and he did Ergo Proxy. which is one of the most unique anime's release in this decade :P
though it's kinda bullshit Capcom is charging another $10 just because it fills more space than your average 3DS game.
bet they're withholding a few content to be released as DLC and Gold Version of the game.

I'm not going to support this. If you had to raise the price because you wanted to make a "console quality experience" then you should have made it for consoles. This is just the first step in a slippery slope of prices of games getting higher. I already thin 40 dollars is too much, Capcom just likes making excuses to push the envelope a little bit further and further until consumers are numbed to whatever capcom wants.
Well this explains why Revelations and Mercs 3D were not in one cartridge. If they had to put it into an even bigger SD card, then that definitely warrants a higher price tag (kinda like going from DVD to Bluray).
Also, come on guys. This is largely a console experience on the go, as Manthai has already stated. You might as well complain that HD games are $10 more than the previous gen/Wii titles.

The "console experience on a handheld" excuse doesn't hold up when we have had plenty of console experiences on a handheld for the DS and PSP for $30. Hell, Super Mario 3D Land could be a Wii game but it's still only retailing for $40.
The only difference between consoles and handhelds lately (aside from having hard drives to install to) is graphic capability, and with the 3DS and Vita, the gap in that capability is quickly closing.

The real reason is that they don't have a system for the game to milk an extra $20 out through DLC, they are just throwing an extra $10 up front.
meanwhile at sony
sony: yes keep fucking over the 3ds capcom your be pay handsomely for this.
capcom: yes master.
both of them: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

This is bullshit, but Capcom has been slowly going down hill for about a year already. No surprise, really.

Aren't handheld games supposed to primarily be single player experiences? This extra 'Raid' mode - while I'm sure could end up being fantastic - is probably not the main reason people are buying this game. In fact, it sounds like they're tacking on an extra feature that no one asked for, and charging an extra $10 for it. Next thing we know, Handheld capcom games will come with a code inserted into the game box to unlock these great extra multiplayer features, all while still costing us $50 to play. And, of course, used buyers will have to pay another $10 to then play this oh-so-awe-inspiring multiplayer, that is already costing them extra.
Free Market bitch if they happen to sell well it'll just tell more developers they can do this, if it doesn't than it'll show them that they shouldn't do stuff like this. It's hit or miss I think plenty of people will like this just because of the 3DS's lack of current worthwhile games. I still think it's a silly claim that they put that much money into it where they can justify such a price hike.
@Ahoyhoy
Super Mario 3D Land apparently doesn't use a larger SD card for its storage. This game does.
@fujin613
The game has online co-op for one thing. Not many handheld titles offer that. And either this article is documenting how Capcom are stating the price raise is due to the larger SD card. Adding another 2GB actually does raise production costs, last time I checked.
If that's not enough to hold you over, then I suppose you could just buy it on Amazon. They're still holding pre-orders for $40.

As long as this doesn't make a precedent to make 3DS games starting price $50 from this point on I guess it's ok. I mean I can handle the odd $50-80 game (last time was Catherine) but it's very rare in my situation.
I rarely ever buy games for mors than $40 anyways. For PS3 games, which generally cost $60, that may mean waiting untill I can find the game I want for a more reasonable price. I don't mind waiting -- I don't really care wheather or not I can play a game as soon as it comes out. I just can't justify spending so much money on something that will inevitably be available for much less. Still, I hope this doesn't become the norm for handheld games.
I wasn't going to buy it anyway, I'm sure, but I hope others don't buy it either. This is the line in the sand. If this game sells well for $50 then the next game will be $50. And the next. and the next! We shouldnt be expected to pay so much for a hand held game. $60 for a console game is bad enough! If this is the new price point, very used will be how I'll be buying what few games I want for the 3ds.
