North American retailer Target has announced a special Switch double pack which consists of two games. Those games are the excellent Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Party and of course there is a saving to be had. The bundle costs $99.99 and the company also throws in a $10 gift card. You can pre-order now and the double pack releases on Sunday, 4th October.
99$ for a Wii U port and a few years old game? That 10$ giftcard helps somewhat though.
I only see this being helpful for people who have never played these games, remember the wii u did poorly, Super mario party is the only decent modern mario party game
As an econom myself, I think about the profit margin for this got to be sky high. I myself can see it from Nintendo’s perspective: it sells like hotcakes. Why reduce the price? From a consumer stand point I feel like they’ve earned back what they’ve used ob MK8 a long time ago. Why no be a litte more consumer friendly and reduce the price a little? They even earn money on the Switch console sale itself. They’re really pushing it IMO. Looking forward to a Switch 4K thingy and they can claim “next gen prices” on their games as well.
Oh yeah they defintely need to lower price imo tbh, but I believe this is more tagrets promotion than nintendo as this bundle seems to be target only ,smp and mk8 deluxe have been on sale a couple of times on eshop when ever they did a promotion, so comparing this to the eshop deals this bundle seems like a lost, I really only see uninformed parents picking this up
Don’t know about the US deals, but the Norwegian deals for Mario Kart on eShop have been equalent to like 10$ or something.
Exactly. The age of a game means nothing if it’s a good game. Geez.. Everyone thinks video games should age like fruit.
$60 for each game and that’s giving you back a $10. How modest of them.
100 bucks is a complete rip off
Cool bundle idea for parents at Christmas. Completely missed the mark on the price point though. Jeez.
How is it nintendo has time to bring out ports but dont have time to make new games?
