$60 would be a hard sell for me.
This is kinda shocking TBH.

It will backfire. They'll get massive negativity online which they don't want. It will change.

They can fuck right off with this. Was tired of the full priced re-releases, now I'm done.

I don't think $80 itself is the end of the world. Most games will go there eventually.
What kills my interest in Nintendo though is the $80 price tag combined with the no sales policy.
Games are already too expensive for my third world salary, but with every other publisher you can basically just wait 8-12 months and pick up stuff on sale. These Nintendo games launching for $80 will still be $80 in 4 years.

$80 for a digital game is mad.

Nintendo only started pricing things at $70 at the end of the Switch 1 (and that might have only been Tears to the Kingdom)
why would anyone have expected them to be the first publisher to jump up to $80?

They're crazy, yes, but not as crazy as their fans, so it doesn't matter. Nintendolife are already deleting comments that express anything negative about the game prices or the physical now costing more than digital.
All will bow before the Nintendo.
By the way, that £75 for physical Mario Kart? $97

Don't worry, when Sony start doing this, $80 will be okay all of a sudden.

lol well well well...
I remember telling some of you this company is not your friend and that they're going to start selling games at a higher price the moment an opportunity opens up and here we are....
This company is one of the greediest companies that many of you seem to be completely blind to, they literally were selling ports and remasters oat full price, Not full remakes from the ground upm, I mean literally just a bare port at full price...
They're now selling you games at $80 that clearly are running below what you might see from xbox or playstation...
This surprise should come to no one and maybe it's time that conversation starts to happen around this company's greed
Keep in mind I have nothing against raising the price in the gaming industry but I more support this towards the high-end AAA games that are actually justifying those budgets towards something fundamentally could see from something different going on in those bigger larger games, these games literally look like Wii U games
Its ok when its actually a PS6 AAA game moving the needle in 8K sir
This is $80 for Switch ports...

Nintendo is my friend. If you work on yourself, they can be your friend too.

If the games don't sell they'll pivot. Nintendo needs money to keep going.

€80 on PS5 was okay already.
I don't see the problem with €80 Nintenso games either.
Don't like it, don't buy it or wait for a sale or whatever.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

It sucks but I think by the end of 2025, everyone will have raised game prices.

100%. The price puts games out of impulse buy territory and into "not unless I'm 1000% sold on it" territory.
Sure but unfortunatelly it will sell as usual

I think Nintendo's trying to curb-stomp that. I don't think it would be out of their realm to try to put a stop to that practice. I sincerely hope they do.

It's too much, but I guarantee we're going to see Sony and others doing the same thing.

lolol yeah. $80 for graphics and gameplay that's from the 90s based on an IP from the 80s??? insane. i get the nostalgia appeal, but after that, there's really nothing going on with the mario kart games.

Oh my sweet Dan, they are saying 80 usd, which means you'll pay more via CA...

My opinion is I was looking to buy my first Mario Kart since N64. I'm not buying it now. Not on release anyway. Maybe on Black Friday if it's heavily discounted.
There are very very few games I'd spend $80 for. And even those games I'd get the collector's edition version anyway.

$80 is silly.
I already typically wait for sales on $60 games, so at this price it'll probably be an "only if the kids are begging for it" thing.
