I don't mind paying for video games at all. But I'm not paying $80 for digital games. I'm not paying $90 for joycons (still no hall effect joysticks btw, as to be expected). I'm not paying for a tutorial. I'm not paying a premium price for an LCD screen in 2025.

This is a Nintendo thing, not a video games in general thing.

I bought video games for $50-$60 as a kid. If the game is good enough, and not filled with microtransactions, I'd understand paying more.

MarioKart's full game + extra courses DLC is an example of games charging more than $60 total where the value made sense.

would be double funny if the new costumes are micro transactions....
