![]() With this being the case, what follows will largely be the exact same review I wrote before. And with that, my one biggest objection to recommending this game… vanished. Suddenly, what was previously a great game being dangled in front of Nintendo Switch players to try to horrifically price-gouge them had now become a great game with a modest markup that could be excused as a part of the cost of releasing the game on Nintendo’s hardware. However, in early 2021, without any fanfare, the game’s price dropped to $30 on the Nintendo Switch. While I give some leeway to Nintendo Switch titles being priced higher due to the additional costs of the cartridge format, this was absolutely unacceptable, and I made my thoughts on this clear in my first review of the game. When Burnout Paradise Remastered launched on the Nintendo Switch, it launched with a price tag of $50, despite that the original game was released all the way back in 2008, despite that the remaster had been out on other platforms since 2018, and despite that the remaster currently sold on those other platforms for a mere $20. In the time since, this is an issue that has become far less problematic - the price. ![]() This one major issue with the game soured what was otherwise a delightful experience, and made this a game I found difficult to recommend even to players I’d feel confident would enjoy the game. However, one major factor contributing to my overall opinion of the game has changed so dramatically that I felt it warranted me revisiting the review and altering the game’s review grade. ![]() The game remains virtually the same as it was during launch, and my feelings about the game itself have not changed since I first reviewed it. Burnout Paradise Remastered is a different story, though. Generally, when I do a Re-Review, it is either because something about the game has changed, or because my feelings about the game have evolved and changed so dramatically that I feel it warrants a second look.
