Summary
- Nintendo fans are upset about the $80 price of Mario Kart World, leading some to demand a lower price online.
- Fans have made “DROP THE PRICE” trend on Twitter.
- Angry fans also flooded the Mario Kart World Direct with demands for Nintendo to lower the price.
Enthusiasts of Nintendo are still expressing discontent over the cost of the upcoming game, Mario Kart World, during its recent Nintendo Direct broadcast, as they call for a reduction in price. Although it will be one of the initial games available on the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2, the high price point is causing concern among fans. The launch editions of Mario Kart World are set to cost $79.99, regardless if they’re physical or digital copies.
In the aftermath of the Switch 2 Direct presentation, there arose some misunderstandings regarding the price of the Mario Kart World. Certain sources suggested that the physical edition of the game would retail at $90. However, it appears this isn’t accurate; instead, $80 has been mentioned as the potential cost. Despite this being just a $10 increase over the usual $70 industry standard, many Nintendo enthusiasts have expressed displeasure about the proposed price for Mario Kart World. Their dissatisfaction has been vocalized online.
Discontented Nintendo enthusiasts successfully made “#LowerThePrice” a popular topic on Twitter, and they also bombarded the chat during the latest “Mario Kart World” presentation with this same demand. Nintendo maintains that the content of “Mario Kart World” justifies its higher cost, but it appears that numerous fans remain skeptical. It remains to be seen what effect this dispute will have on the game’s sales, but if the enduring popularity of “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” is any indicator, “Mario Kart World” should have no trouble flying off shelves, even at its $80 price point.
Nintendo Fans Still Aren’t Happy About the Mario Kart World Price
Some players are displeased about the pricing of Mario Kart World not only because they might have to spend more on this game, but primarily due to its potential effects on the gaming industry as a whole. If Mario Kart World manages to sell well at its $80 price point, it could encourage other publishers to raise their own prices. This has fans particularly concerned about the potential cost of Grand Theft Auto 6, with many fearing that Mario Kart World’s high price might pave the way for GTA 6 to be priced at $100.
It seems unlikely that Nintendo will lower the price of Mario Kart World at this time, but there is a possibility for Nintendo fans to buy it on sale. If you purchase the Mario Kart World bundle with the new Nintendo Switch 2, you can save $30, though the supply will be limited and won’t be available until after fall 2025.
