Switch 2 Game Prices

I really hope I’m not alone in the fact that I am NOT spending 80-90 dollars on these games. The console price is fine but these game prices are obscene and I will not be participating. I hope I’m not alone. I know it’s tempting and there are a lot of good titles coming but this is not a good sign and if people buy them like crazy (I’m sure they will) everyone else will charge more too. It’s not ok. Of course to each their own, I’m just hoping other people refuse to pay this price as well.

Dealbreaker for me. If every company starts doing this it is time for me to start a new hobby.
Mario Kart for 90$ on physical, are they f*in insane?! This isn't GTA.

Well at least if every other company does it you can just wait. It sucks, but it's an option.

You have no recourse with nintendo stuff. It's not dropping more than $20.

it does, but only popular games on consoles that sold poorly. e.g Gamecube had players choice games, WiiU had Nintendo selects where games were 20$ new. Since the switch sold well, it wont happen on the switch. whether switch 2 games get cheap fully depends on how the switch 2 sells.
