The Issue

Nintendo's recent decision to price upcoming titles like Mario Kart World at $80 digitally and $90 physically exploits loyal consumers without justification. These premium prices are unacceptable given Nintendo's reliance on aging Switch hardware and repeated reuse of content, clearly lacking the innovation or technical advancement to support such a hike.

Nintendo's longstanding refusal to offer meaningful discounts already places a financial strain on families and dedicated fans. Further price increases will deepen this issue, alienating core consumers and restricting gaming accessibility.

Critically, this decision risks setting a troubling precedent for the entire gaming industry, encouraging other companies to follow suit by unjustifiably inflating prices while stagnating innovation, ultimately harming gamers everywhere.

We, the undersigned, strongly oppose this exploitative pricing strategy. Until Nintendo reverses this unfair decision, we pledge to boycott all Nintendo products and urge the company to restore fair pricing practices that reflect genuine value, innovation, and respect for their dedicated community.
