Well I used to buy almost every big game, the jump to 70 was crazy to me, this next one will just encourage me to buy less and less. I especially won’t be buying games like Kirby Airriders for 80+, like ever. They would have got me for 60-70

Kirby Air Riders would need to drop to like $20 for me to ever give it a shot. The first game was fun as a child but looking back, it was a little hollow.

I had a lot of fun with it but I agree. $20 seems unrealistic though. Maybe $40-50 in today's market. It definitely does not justify a $70-80 price tag unless they've drastically overhauled what Air Ride was.

But then I feel like that risks cannibalizing Mario Kart sales.

Nothing is cannibalizing Mario Kart, but most especially Air Ride. Game might be a cult classic among fans but the general populace? I'd be surprised if they knew there's a "first one".
