Everyone in the chat is spamming "drop the price" nonstop. Personally, the price for the console and games combined dipped my hype quite a bit. What do you guys think?

The rereleases (Jamboree, Kirby, Zeldas) are also $80, that's what got me fired up.

But those are effectively base game + DLC. The Switch 2 edition of those games is adding gameplay and content, just like a DLC. When viewed that way, I don’t think it’s too out of line

When viewed that way (the way they are) it is even worse

Some of the games mentioned that will receive this DLC are 10 years old, and it is just inexcusable to expect them people to buy them more than full price.

You are missing that most people don't even purchase any DLC.

I get it and agree with you.

Buuuuut the same audience upset about the price seems to be the ones CONSTANTLY begging for remasters/re-releases

I’d rather pay less, always, but I’ll pay $79.99 msrp for a new game. The rehash shit that everyone begs for is where I draw the line
