People were generally willing to accept the increase to $70 because games had been $60 for decades so it didn't seem too horribly greedy to finally bump it up a bit. But now it's just been a few years and Nintendo's already experimenting with $80 and $90 price points. Should we just accept games going up $10 every 3 years or so? And for a game that's just going to be another basic iteration of Mario Kart, most likely with more paid DLC on the way? Not even going to get into the paid tech demo they revealed. Nintendo's getting greedy and they deserve the criticism.
no, pay what the game is worth to you, but im pointing out that the comment I was responding to is inaccurate.
And for a game that's just going to be another basic iteration of Mario Kart
for most people thats enough, but the implication that it would be more worth it if the game had more in it actually supports nintendos position that games should be priced according to demand.Â
sony doesnt sell GOW at 20 bucks often because they are nice, they do it because not many people are willing to pay full price for that game many years later. MK8 is the fifth best selling game of all time and has not had significant discounts during that entire period. we will see if people have the same sentiment with a 80$ price point, but of course, i have to imagine even if it sells many copies a large majority of those copies will be the bundle
Should we just accept games going up $10 every 3 years or so?
No, you should be pissed off at the policy decisions driving rampant inflation. But Nintendo isn't your/a government. You may as well be pissed off at time for passing as at Nintendo here, the fault lies elsewhere.
I saw someone on tiktok say it's absurd for mario kart to be the same price as gta6 and they compared that to saying tacobell should be the same price as a high end steak dinner
I pointed out that gta6 doesn't warrant the high price either. It's more like tacobell verses McDonald's. It's a gta game. I haven't got a response to that.
Disappointment? I didn't hear that at all. I heard the opposite. MonHun also does free updates that add more content into the game for quite a while after it comes out. One just came out today, if I'm not mistaken.
The community was really disappointed by the performance on pc alone. Even console players had problems playing at resolution mode and pc players are still required to have the newest gear to play 1080p or above. The game itself is mostly loved but there still was much disappointment
I've noticed performance issues seem to be kind of a theme with Capcom games on release. Sometimes they patch them...
Actually, now that I think about it, most games that I've recently played that released on PC and console at the same time had, and continue to have, some performance issues.

I hate to break it to people, This isn't a Nintendo only problem.
