Figured it'd be nice to have a spot to talk about this. Link is to the upcoming direct on their channel.

People can also post articles after the fact, I don't think our community is so active that I worry about clogging the feed. But we'll see. I'm excited!

Quite disappointed with how they are now going for $90 (physical, $80 digital for MKW) games, the upgraded versions are paid DLCs and even the tech demo is a digital purchase.

The console looks good, and $450 seems fine for it, but everything else looks overpriced and that has kinda killed my interest.

Yeah the pricing is wild. The console is a fine price, and I don't mind the paid upgrades that add content. Other games are getting free upgrades they confirmed later.

But charging for the welcome tour is madness. And $80 digital for Mario kart is insane. At least dk is $70 digital so like I hope most games aren't $80 but Jesus. And like $70 is a lot too don't get me wrong but that's what it's been the past couple years so I'm not surprised at that number

The +$10 for physical games also worries me they might be trying to push more people to digital games only. But also there seems to be the new "game key" cards which might be an improvement over codes, if they are not tied to accounts.

Also yea, I am still not used to $70 for games and even that seems too much.
