Protests About the Price of Mario Kart World During Direct Stream
Today, Nintendo aired the Mario Kart World Direct, which was announced during the presentation event of Nintendo Switch 2. However, instead of focusing on the game itself, many comments from viewers centered around one specific request: lower the price of the game.
The discussion about the price of Nintendo’s new console and its games is still going strong. Fans have shown strong reactions to the announced price tags.
The Price Controversy
As you may know, Nintendo announced that Mario Kart World will cost $80. Naturally, this news sparked negative reactions from fans, especially because there is a concern that other companies might follow suit and raise their game prices as well.
Since the announcement of Nintendo Switch 2, which will also be more expensive than the original Nintendo Switch, this topic has been on everyone’s mind.
Reactions
It wasn’t too surprising to see the chat flooded with messages telling Nintendo to “DROP THE PRICE.” Some people even joked, asking for the price to be raised to 120 dollars instead. Regardless of the humor, the message was clear: fans are not happy with the current price.
It remains to be seen whether these protests will impact the game’s sales, especially when compared to the launch of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and its success throughout the Nintendo Switch generation.
