Sony got dragged for 70$ games and deservedly so.
Nintendo is doing 80$ games (and 90$ physical). If you are okay with or much worse trying to defend it, then you are just a Fanboy and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Then we don't need to take you seriously, because you're just spreading misinformation. 90$ games do not exist. Hell, even €90 aren't that commonplace, as many European retailers are selling Switch 2 games at less than MSRP.

Also, there are more types of people than just fanboys and haters. Many people just want to play the new Mario.

Seems I'm behind on the misinformation as well.

90 Euros, $80, makes more sense. Although Euro 84.99 would be the conversion including VAT.
I see it listed for 74.99 Pounds for physical on the Nintendo site, 62.49 Pounds exl tax, $81.71.

So I'm guessing they will be CAD 109.99 here ($80 = CAD 111 today) 37% increase over CAD 79.99 (current prices)
It's going straight through the psychological CAD 100 barrier with a CAD 30 increase. Hence I think no prices listed here yet. Maybe some negotiations are going on to keep the prices at CAD 99.99 which would be nice, but that would be $72. If that happens Europeans should import Nintendo games from Canada ;)

I guess we'll end up paying CAD 109.99, CAD 124 after tax, almost 34 dollars more than Switch games, 22 dollars more than new PS4/Series games. That while people are getting hit here with Trump's tarif war.
