| Soundwave said: If this is true, they probably had the bundle planned for day 1, but Mario Kart wasn't ready for that date, then decided to launch early March because they wanted to sell some initial stock before the fiscal year ending (March 31st). It's also likely a fat profit maker for Nintendo as Mario Kart 8 is effectively a game that Nintendo re-couped all development costs on ages ago, so they're just basically taking an old game they already made money off of, installing into the Switch's on-board flash memory and charging $50 more for it. It's like $50 straight up profit for them. It's actual pretty brilliant, profit wise. |
I thought they said it was a physical copy ... if it is physical at least nay sayers can't bitch about 25% of the memory being eaten up by the bundled game ( I thought MK8 was around 8 GB )
