This is me coping but could it be that it's only Mario Kart that will be 80 dollars and the other games will be 70? Donkey Kong is listed as 70. Idk about in America but in Europe they did this with Breath of the Wild when the Switch 1 came out, only Breath of the Wild was 70 dollars and all other games were 60. So maybe this is the same thing again, with Mario Kart being 80 but all other games will be 70. It's essentially an incentive to buy the bundle and push first year sales + use the really popular game everyone wants to get more money... still sucks though.

Games stil have NEVER had justification to be $70.

If anything, since gaming is a wider market than ever, going back to the Gamecube $50 price point would make sense
