L.A. Noire on Switch more expensive than other versions

Premium price to be paid by Switch owners.

L.A. Noire was one of our favourite games of the last console generation, and therefore we were pleasantly surprised when it was revealed that the rumours were true and the noir-themed open-world adventure was being remastered and re-released on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

The VR version of the game being made with the HTC Vive in mind was a surprise, but the announcement that the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch also raised a few eyebrows.

It's a surprise with a twist, however, after it was revealed that the version of the game heading to Nintendo's platform is going to be a full £10 more expensive than its counterparts on other platforms, with retailer Game listing it at £44.99 (€49.99), whereas the PS4 and Xbox One versions will cost a more respectable £34.99 (€39.99).

Will the unique functionality of the Switch version make it the definitive L.A. Noire experience and justify the higher price? We'll find out when it lands on November 14.
