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.

Nintendo fans are still upset about the Mario Kart World price, flooding the game’s recent Nintendo Direct presentation with demands to lower it. Mario Kart World will be one of the launch titles for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, but it will be rather expensive. Anyone interested in getting Mario Kart World at launch can expect to shell out $79.99, which is the price of both the physical and digital versions of the game.

There was some confusion about the Mario Kart World price in the wake of the Switch 2 Direct, with some reports indicating that the physical version of the game will cost $90. That thankfully doesn’t seem to be the case, but $80 is still $10 more than the current industry standard of $70. Regardless, Nintendo fans are not happy about how much Mario Kart World costs, and they have let their voices be heard online.

Mario Kart World Game Modes Detailed

Nintendo’s latest Direct details Mario Kart World’s core gameplay modes, giving players a closer look at what launch day will bring.

Disgruntled Nintendo fans managed to make “DROP THE PRICE” trend on Twitter earlier, and they also flooded the chat during the recent Mario Kart World Direct with the same message. Nintendo believes that Mario Kart World‘s content justifies its higher price tag, but it seems many fans remain unconvinced. Time will tell what kind of impact this controversy will have on the game’s sales, but if Mario Kart 8 Deluxe‘s startling longevity is any indication, Mario Kart World will likely have little trouble selling like hotcakes, even at the $80 price tag.

Nintendo Fans Still Aren’t Happy About the Mario Kart World Price

Some gamers are upset about the Mario Kart World price not because it means that they will have to pay more for the game, necessarily, but because of the impact it could have on the industry at large. For example, if Mario Kart World is still a sales success despite its $80 price, it will be the greenlight for other game publishers to follow suit. Fans seem to be concerned about Grand Theft Auto 6‘s price in particular, with many worried that Mario Kart World‘s high price is opening the door for GTA 6 to cost $100.

We’ll have to wait and see what happens, but in any event, it does not appear as though Nintendo has any plans to drop Mario Kart World‘s price. On the bright side, Nintendo fans do have a chance to get Mario Kart World at a discount. Those that managed to snag the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle will be saving themselves $30 total, though the bundle will be in limited supply and won’t be available by fall 2025.
