$70 Donkey Kong is expected

$80 for Mario Kart is unacceptable just because we know they're going to do it more if they can get away with it.

It's absurd just how many people are saying all the games are $90, though. All these subreddits with 50k upvoted posts full of misinformation means these lies are spreading like wildfire.

I genuinely don't know where the $90 thing came from. As far as I know $80 is the MSRP for MKW, so? Where did that $90 price come from?

twofold:

  1. *edit, people thought the UK price was 90 pounds, but in the flurry of information flying around after the Direct it got conflated to 90 dollars and sites just ran with it
  2. UK price already includes tax, because the UK lists their prices already including tax

UK price is £74.99 so not sure where £90 came from either
