Nintendo is right out to lunch on these price hikes. The Switch and its games were already stupid expensive, and then they jacked them up even more for Switch 2. I usually buy Nintendo consoles and games but I've been priced out of the new console. I'm not going to spend $110 + tax on one game when I could get like 5 decent games on my PC for that price, heck more even with sales.
I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people willing to pay these prices. I'm so sick of corporate greed.

Speaking of PC sales: steam summer sale is on right now. There's some decent deals. The Mass Effect series is all on sale for pretty steel discounts; the LE is like $6.

Yeah I've already bought 10 games and a DLC... And spent less than $100 doing so!

I could understand people justifying the price in the uk, mario kart world costs £67 digitally (including tax) which is CHEAPER than call of duty and "only" £7 more than a regular AAA game and the new donkey kong is cheaper than AAA games digitally (but only £59 vs £60). I think the games are overpriced in the uk, since they will never go on sale, but $110 is ridiculous.

Doom: The Dark Ages, for example, is CDN$89.99 on Steam currently. Cost of living has gone insanely haywire in Canada honestly, we're getting price gouged left, right, and centre, and every company seems to be pushing their prices up because people just keep paying up. It's really frustrating.

I was on the fence. This and that bad Mario Kart update are enough to decide to buy used years later.

I mean, there is literally only Mario Kart World right now. Donkey Kong is coming soon, and then Metroid Prime 4. But that's not a lot to be missing out on for the time being.

Using Google to convert, these are the prices in CAD right now, all with taxes from a price finder:
Mario Kart: CA$132,78 (NOK 977)
Switch 2: CA$909,87 (NOK 6695)
Switch 2 bundle: CA$1012,35 (NOK 7449)Let's just say I'm keeping my Homebrewed Switch and PC and give Nintendo the middle finger for now...!

Oh yikes, that's stupid expensive. Definitely not worth the cost. I think it'll get harder for me to not buy if they release a new Animal Crossing or Zelda, but honestly even then it's not worth buying a whole console for 2 games. Probably just have to play them by other means
