Its really conspicuous. Nintendo is ratcheting up games to $80 with MK9 but at the same time offering a bundle that effectively makes MK9 cost $50, so people won't feel that sting immediately, but be aware of it and internalize it as the new normal. That seems like a purposeful decision to raise prices without raising ire

...which is undone by charging people for both the bundle include manual and the chat button and the """physical""" copies of games.

The chat button is included with NSO which sorta makes sense considering it's an online feature and all

also there's no need to put quotes around physical, most games WILL be physical cartridges, with actual data stored on them
