For sure a game like Mario Tennis should not be priced at $70, the pricing of this is a complete joke, but joke pricing is The Nintendo Way this gen.
As I said in another thread about the pricing of this game, the whole point of companies saying they had to now charge $70 for games was based on the AAA ultra realistic aesthetic games taking like $100+ million dollars to make these days. Nintendo pricing their mostly cartoon-aesthetic games (not an insult, i love their style and that they don't just try to do realism in graphics like most big games these days), and especially a smaller game like Mario Tennis, at $70 is nothing but pure greed. There's not more than a handful of Nintendo franchises for which there is any argument to charge $70, and Mario Tennis is extremely far from those games.
Honestly Nintendo should adopt a more variable pricing strategy, not a one-price-fits-all strategy. Mario Tennis is honestly more like a $50 game, not even $60, and $70 is just stupid. The indie market is so much better in this regard than the AAA market these days because indies price their games at the price point they feel is appropriate, rather than just like a standard $20 price or something haha, the big studios really need to break away from this idea that every game should have the same (high) price no matter the game.
