    I’m not schocked by a game costing around 80$ as that’s already what a new game costs in my country.

    I remember buying Final Fantasy 8 almost 30 years ago for above 90$ as a teenager.

    I also kind of remember that NES and Super NES games were really expensive.

    I’m not saying that I want the price of games to increase though and I think it’s weird that Nintendo is doing this when their games clearly aren’t the most expensive ones to create.

    I know I won’t be buying a Switch 2and I think people should vote with their wallets.

      How do you know how much it costs Nintendo to make these games? Do you have financial reports or something?

        To be honest no, but I know that Mario Kart is making Nintendo a lot of money even if the game is really good and not the cheapest one.

        I can’t blame Nintendo for trying to make more money, but don’t blame people for trying to spend less.

        Have you seen the average Nintendo game? Unless they’re buying all of their developers solid gold keyboards to work on, I’m not seeing where the price justification comes from.
