Summary; two older men complain about something that they arent interested in: introduce politics and whine about pricing.
Its almost like those "politics" are related to why the pricing is weird?
But hey, fuck em. This is hype train time, right? We should be thankful it is only eighty bucks for Mario Kart because REAL fans would give them a hundred bucks for the greatest game ever made or whatever asinine bullshit.
You aren't a true gamer unless you buy 20 copies of ~~Celeste~~ Mario Kart World to support the starving developer ~~Maddy Makes Games~~ Nintendo.
Tbf, the pricing isnt really out yet, im prepared to see the dollar value go up just due to todays news. By the time its actually in the US the tariffs will probably be higher. Nintendo fans are definitely gonna shell out, like always, no matter the cost. Maybe it will sell less because of the price structure and corpos will learn a lesson, but I doubt it. This timeline hurts me
It's out in the nintendo stores and general retailers are already accepting preorders at the same price. It's real, Mario Kart is 90 euros. Insane.
Do you think they already priced in the federal govts tariffs? If so, the price still hurts but not as much
