Mario Party and Kirby come with new expansions, maybe even Switch 2 exclusive ones. During the past eight years, Nintendo's expansions have come at prices between $20-30, so when the Switch 1 versions still cost $60, it's not hard to see in these two cases why the versions for the next gen console cost $80 and why it would justified.
TotK's Switch 2 Edition features are a lot less meaty, so at first glance it isn't clear why it costs $80. It was the outlier for Switch 1 games in the USA though, as the only costing $70. BotW's Switch 2 Edition also received a $10 bump in comparison to its Switch 1 counterpart, so from that perspective it makes sense why ToTK got the same bump despite coming without an expansion like Mario Party and Kirby. Based on this pattern, I don't expect other Switch 2 Editions without an expansion to cost as much as $80.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
