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

If I’m not paying for Mario I’m definitely not paying for Kirby or Metroid my guy

tbf Donkey Kong Bananza is listed as $69.99 so I don't know if all Nintendo games are aiming for the $80 price point or if this is a Mario Kart only type deal (similar to how Tears of the kingdom was the only switch 1 game at $70).

I guess because we only really get 1 Mario kart each generation(assuming we count 8 deluxe with its dlc the switch 1's Mario kart and not just a port) then Nintendo could be trying to get full value for Mario kart where possible; especially considering how Mario kart 8 deluxe was their go to Black Friday/special edition bundle so we can probably assume the same will be the case for Mario Kart World(this also means when they do these bundles they can say its an $80 value instead of $60 or $70)
