To be frank, Nintendo stated the 70$ games are going to be done on a game per game basis. Which I think will depend on the franchise worth and if the game budget was quite high to begin with. Don't know if Mario Kart would qualify for the latter criteria.

Wasnt that specifically with the Switch 1?

Not complaining if Switch 2 games are $60 though lol

I'd rather pay less than more.

My fingers are crossed that no more than about 3 Nintendo games for Switch 2 are $70 during its lifecycle. But I see that as too optimistic. All Nintendo said during the reveal of Tears of the Kingdom's price is that it wasn't the new standard, and the pricing can be a case-by-case basis. But that's almost two years ago and Switch 2 hadn't been revealed yet or even have really any details from Nintendo. 

I think games like these will be $70 on Switch 2: 3D Zelda, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Xenoblade Chronicles, Super Smash Bros., 3D Metroid, 3D Kirby (if we get a new one), 3D Donkey Kong (if we get a new one), Splatoon and... gasp...Pokémon RPGs. I think The Pokémon Company will push for $70 Pokémon games much more than Nintendo will. And I don't think Nintendo will stop them.

I think even popular games like Mario Party, 2D Mario, and 2D Zelda are safe from $70. I'm pretty skeptical of a $70 Fire Emblem, 2D DK, 2D Kirby or 2D Metroid as well.
