Mario Kart World Pricing Controversy
Family Friendly Gaming News
Cordova, TN; July 7, in the year of our Lord 2025 --
Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the
family friendly video games is continuing to be the voice of
diversity in the gaming media, and media at large. Have you
heard about the pricing controversy surrounding Mario Kart
World? The game is selling brand new for eighty dollars. That is
a lot more than most Nintendo Switch titles. It is also more
than the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 video games. Is Mario
Kart World that much better? Does Mario Kart World contain so
much more content than other games currently being releases?
Bill Trinen, the Vice President of Product and Player Experience
said in an interview with IGN “I would say it's less about the
strategy of pricing Mario Kart World, it's more just whenever we
look at a given game, we just look at what is the experience,
and what's the content, and what's the value?” I have been
playing Mario Kart World and plan a review (which may appear
before this article goes online). I can tell you that I do not
feel that Mario Kart World is worth eighty dollars. It would be
worth fifty to sixty dollars. Remember that Nintendo has
billions in the bank. Did they get that by cutting their fans a
break? Or did Nintendo get that money from fleecing their
fanboys and fangirls?
My biggest problem with Mario Kart World selling for $80 is the
pack in nature of the game with the system. If you buy a
Nintendo Switch 2 for $450 dollars you get no game with it. If
you buy the bundle of the Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart World
you pay $500. So the only difference is Mario Kart World is
included in one and not in another. If you buy the bundle then
you only pay $50 for the game. That tells me that Mario Kart
World is only worth $50. Yet if you buy it separately then you
must pay $30 more. How does that work Nintendo? The experience
of Mario Kart World is worth thirty dollars less in a bundle
package?
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
