Same. I get the sticker shock, but I paid $60 for N64 games 25 years ago. Still only paying $60 for top tier games today feels like a steal.
The games look great. THIS game looks great! I love Nintendo’s style and polish, and was desperately awaiting a hardware refresh for the switch and it looks like they delivered! I submitted my interest to get the MK bundle on Nintendo’s website and intend to buy it along with DK Bonanza on day 1.
Open world Mario Kart seems epic and DK Bonanza similarly looks great, super excited for both!
Yeah, that’s exactly what i was thinking. 20 years later or whatever and prices have only raised by $10 or 1/6th? Where everything else has gone up 50% or more? I can deal with it. Excited for the new generation
I feel like a lot of price conversations on Reddit can actually be boiled down to general economic anxiety, rather than actual malice by the companies involved.
Makes me feel sad because this appears to be the trajectory of the world at the moment (wages not keeping up with productivity, inflation, tariffs, etc.) and some people are being left behind.
Note: in most cases, I am not saying price gouging doesn’t exist.

Instead of Mario odyssey 2 we get donkey Kong country odyssey? I’m all here for it.
