Even tho mario kart is and probably will be an extremely fun game, its still such a fucking scam. Im gonna buy a switch 2 but to be fair i skipped the switch because i suspected at the release that there will be backwards compatibility and seems like i was right. Even tho i only have a gba and 3ds and then the switch 2 ill buy, i can basically play the entire handheld line of games that nintendo released. This was my tactic but im still dissapointed at the prices even tho i skipped a gen.

While I am not okay with the game price hike, you're comparing genuine dog shit to actual good games. It's like asking why anyone would ever order a steak when they can just go to McDonald's. Sure they're both food, but they're not really comprable.
That said, I am not trying to justify Nintendo's pricing. They're asking for too much of a leap (+50%!!!) in too short of a time frame. But this meme is a bad argument.
That's because Nintendo makes the best games
I will admit: I'm in this picture.
Game developers have to eat, too, so a (!) price hike at some point was expected, the price for AAA games was set to 60$ before smart phones existed. They only stayed at 60 so long because gaming got much more popular in that time, driving sales. IF (!) this increase would allow developers to pay their employees more and eliminated the crunch culture, I'd have no problem with it.
But we know this is just corporate greed. Pay extra to own your game physically, pay extra to play your old games, join our subscription program. Oh, you're in Europe and your wages kept up with inflation? Forget the 33%, you can afford a 50% price increase instead.
With the Japanese-only model being the singular exception, you'd think the direct was lead by 3 new faces just so Nintendo could put the blame on them when the thing doesn't sell well due to the price.
Oh, and Skull and Bones was dog shit, of course everyone hated it's ludicrous price point.
Look, if I have to pay $80 for Kirby Air Ride 2, I will pay $80 for Kirby Air Ride 2.
Or just go back and play all the games from the 90's tag you missed when they first came out.
There is do much retro content, by the time I get to Switch 2 content, it'll be retro too
Every time I tell myself I am not buying a Switch 2 because the games are too damn expensive and I already own a Legion Go for hand-held gaming, I remember that Kirby Air Riders will exist and I become the angry, arms crossed "WELL, FINE!" guy.
That said, City Trial mode or I riot.
sure, but that doesnt even mention the difference in quality and value that the pile of dogshit "pirate game" has compared to the latest innovative mario kart.
unpopular opinion: the quality of Nintendo games are worth the cost of admission, and they know it. there are very few bad nintendo games.
super hype to play the new Mario kart for years like I did with 8
What are "saleries?" Something to do with sales?
Places where saled goods are saled. Like bakeries.
This isnt really on topic but what we wanted was a more realistic Sea of Thieves and Skull and Bones was like ship arena battles, it was bad.
The amount of bootlickers I'm starting to see in Nintendo's YouTube comments is pathetic
You've never noticed before? This ain't a new argument
