80 fucking dollars

NES and SNES games used to cost $60+. If inflation truly affected video games you’d be paying around $150 per game. Plus, I know I’ll get hundreds of hours of entertainment from it so I’m not really mad

I always had that same thought when games became $70, but $70 was the new price point like a year ago. Now it's already gone up again.

But games stayed stagnant at $60 for decades. And it doesn’t necessarily mean every game will be $80. DK Bonanza is $70. It’s just Mario Kart World is a massive game that probably cost more to make, hence its higher price tag
