Nintendo Insists $80 Mario Kart World Price is Justified - IGN Daily Fix

In today's Daily Fix:The Nintendo Switch 2 has been the talk of the gaming world ever since last week's Nintendo Direct deep dive into the system and its launch line-up. Unfortunately it hasn't all been glowing praise, with many criticizing Nintendo's decison to make Mario Kart World—the Switch 2's headlining launch title—a whopping $80 for the game itself. In an exclusive interview with IGN, Nintendo's Bill Trinen has explained why they think the game is worth the hefty price tag. In related news, it's been revealed that another Switch 2 launch title, Welcome Tour, will cost $10, which doesn't sound so bad at first, but many gamers think the game should have been a pack-in title with the system itself. And finally, in gaming-adjecent news, A Minecraft Movie has already broken box office records by having the biggest domestic opening weekend of any animated movie ever.
