Comment on Mario Kart World - Announce Trailer [Nintendo Switch 2]
arakhis_@feddit.org 3 days agoWhat is it worth it - 600 doubloons for a kart game?
This is worth it if it came on the switch 1 too, theres no reason other than greed (literally evil greed, games are culture and a core for social integration in todays world). Mario Kart 8 was worth it 500 because it was times pre-covid and pre-2-class society. This might seem “radical” but its the bitter reality.
I want switch 2 to be successful, I loved the detail in the reveals - pacing, audio and logo design in these clips full of gameplay brought me to tears as a creative. Seeing artists still having the possibility to polish their crafts like that. I think my first paragraph has weighted in the balanced evaluation.
I just hope people will have good times with entertainment and either receive a product worthy their social features or at least include the switch 1 people, while they themselves deal with having no new gimmicks versions or reduced perfomance

Saying there’s “No reason other than greed” is just plain wrong.
Games have sat at the same general price point for an incredibly long time while inflation has continued to go up and up. It sucks but it was going to happen eventually. The alternative it to start pumping it full of microtransactions.
I’m way more content to get a full game at $80 than cramming it full of loot boxes and battlepasses.

Except Mario Kart has had its fair share of paid post release content lately. We can’t expect it to be the one-off purchase it once was.

Post-Release content that added a substantial amount of value. Well beyond just adding a few skins and lame attempts to bait you in with FOMO.
MK8 launched as a full game and was expanded on. Cant be said for most games these days.

600 includes the console. The point was missed
