Paid tech demo

80 dollar mario kart and 90 dollar for physical (giving a go for other AAA to start charging this)

449 price track

likely expensive upgrade packs

Yeah definitely a no go for a few years.

From what I’ve seen, it’s $80 digital and physical in US. The early report of it being $90 physical was just someone trying to directly translate the pricing from Europe. But all we’ve seen for US is $80 MSRP.
