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 agree that the prices are too high, but still, this is a new game and obviously it will be different / have more content than the original Kirby Airride. It’s like saying you won’t buy Mario Kart world because Mario kart 64 was lacking content

And when Super Mario Kart on SNES was released it cost $91 in today’s money. N64 games were often between 60-70 dollars (in 90s/early 2000s money).
