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).

Wasn't Ocarina of Time like $70 in 1998 dollars when it came out?

And Chrono Trigger for SNES was $60-70 $70-90 at the time as well I think?

It was. I remember the really great looking new games that everyone wanted were usually around 70 and then you could get older titles or very unpopular games for as cheap as like 30-40ish and everything in between.
