Some of them will, yes. There are people who would buy a bag of human feces for $80 if it had Nintendo's logo on it. I, on the other hand, will definitely NOT pay eighty bucks for a game, Switch or otherwise. Theres is nothing a game could ever offer me to fork out that much cash for it.

I'm still getting over that 3DS games were only $40 MSRP. I miss Nintendo having a dedicated handheld division.

I think the good will toward players died with Iwata.

Lucky you it's only $80. In Europe they are going for 90€, so I guess we're passing the 100€ barrier on any game with dlc.

And people will pay. These are the fanatics that can't live without a mario game.
