They released 4 sequels. I have all the 5 games.

I wouldn't call it obscure or forgotten.

Oh... This is that trade advisor who doesn't understand how VAT (and other similar sales taxes) work in Europe.

Such competence.

From what I read, some are like that, but not all. That would be a fucking travesti.

80? More like 90 if it's the physical version.

No this isn't because of tariffs. If anything tariffs will make it even worse (which will be painful.for americana to watch). This is just good ol' Nintendo greed.

There's zero justification for a Mario Kart game costing 80/90 dollars/euros. It's simply not a game with the kind of investment behind it to justify such a price home. IMO only GTA6 has a somewhat reasonable argument to get away with that. Yes they will make a ton of money but they also spent quite a lot making it.

I can absolutely see it happen.

Oh it will bring trillions alright.

Trillions of loss to the American economy.

Good luck americans!

Sure, that's a valid point. But in this case there can be actual mice for the Switch 2 because the games Will support mouse mode.

First, if they already have a PC port your point is moot. They would still need to make a controller version for the Xbox and PS5, but the switch can use both.

Secondly, some games are simply not released on consoles because it simply doesn't translate well without a mouse, like RTS games, for example.

But that's an alternative, and the games obviously aren't made with that in mind.

This is an integral part of the system and obviously games would specifically work with it.

It's a small game changer (IMO).

With the official reveal of the mouse mode for the Switch 2's controllers there is the potential for so many classic games to flood the console.

Imagine what it could do with graphical adventure games, RTS games, management sims, etc.

We already know CIV VII will use the mouse, and I just hope this is just the beginning for a whole range of traditionally non-console games to finally make it to the platform.

I wish TSMC would open a factory in Europe.

Not only would it be very advantageous for the EU, it would sting like hell for the US.
