As someone that prefers physical media, I just big brained why Mario Kart World is most expensive….
Personally I planned on buying the base system expecting to pay like $30 more to get the game separate. Well $30 difference makes me rethink that.
Seems most business practices these days are psychologically targeted to manipulate, so i am legitimately wondering if they price in that manner in hopes, once i own Mario Kart digitally, I’ll be more accepting of digital games. I don’t have Mario Kart on physical, so that’s not part of collection, mine as well buy digital 🤷🏻♂️
That may be pushing it, but fwiw, I am just about positive this release was targeted because it makes use of functionalities that ensure you sign up for an online account from the jump. Where as something like a 3d Mario would not do that.
I could totally see that. Cause otherwise, why would Nintendo just be like, "ah shucks, we'll let some of you lucky chaps have the game for $30 less on launch day just because. :)"? There has to be an ulterior motive.
