As much as the "game prices haven't kept up with inflation and we need more revenue!" narrative is largely bullshit coming from Actiblizz, Ubisoft, EA, and other publishers that have been stuffing their games with predatory monetization strategies that earn them significantly more revenue than the MSRP does (whether it's $60 or $70), at least I can kind of respect it coming from Nintendo, who has generally been pretty reasonable with their post-purchase monetization and not milking consumers for every possible cent. It's still lame, but the game will probably be well worth $70, so it won't deter me from buying it. If that becomes the norm for Switch games, though, it'll lead to me waiting for more sales or just buying fewer games (though really, I could maintain the same budget by skipping every 7th game I would otherwise buy, which isn't completely unreasonable).
