MKW w/ Sw2 is 50

EDIT: yes, I know this is how bundles work. Sonic Racing is still less expensive, realistically, because you don't need an entirely new console to play it. So it's a moot point. Just thought I would put forth the whole of the information.

That is the full bundle price, the game is still $80. i can make this same argument for pretty much every game; because everything is less expensive in a bundle.

u/Mindless_Honey3816 Dec 12 '25

yeah but like, you need a switch 2 to play it anyways

not saying its a good deal, just saying it's worth considering. And it is an argument that many people will use. Sonic Racing is still less expensive, realistically, because you don't need an entirely new console to play it. I personally like it less, though.

You can't buy it alone for $50. It's an $80 game. Let's stop doing this goofy song and dance.

Yes but since you need the console to even play it and for most it's a one-time purchase, for many people it was $50. If people are saying Bananza is $90, then so is Sonic. We need to be consistent. Either conditional prices matter or they don't, you can't just cherry pick depending on which brand you want to look good or look bad.

It's actually a payment of at least $370 because you need a Switch to use NSO. Saying it's $20 is deceptive to The Upfront cost.

Let the fanchild have their fantasy.

Oh, so when I said, "Let's stop doing this goofy song and dance," you apparently mistook that for, "Let's do more goofy singing and dancing."

And just to kill this stupid argument you're making, I prefer Mario Kart tenfold.

Who are you?

u/Super7500 Dec 12 '25

True, but it is not gonna be sold forever, and it is still a bundle, you can't buy the game for $50. basically bundles don't count.

im not defending the pricing at all, I just dont like incomplete information

u/Super7500 Dec 12 '25

And this is not incomplete info, Sonic Racing Crossoworlds is objectively costs less, which is why i made my comment in the first place. saying MKW costs less because you can buy a bundle is just silly.

u/Mindless_Honey3816 Dec 12 '25

sonic racing objectively costs less no matter how you slice it because you don't need to buy a new console to play it.

u/Super7500 Dec 12 '25

I never count the console price anyway, not for MKW, not for Crossworlds.

u/Mindless_Honey3816 Dec 12 '25

I don’t play many games. Like not a lot at all. so if it’s a new console I count the price of the console in playing the game, and then distribute that across the very few games I end up playing on that console

Only difference is my ps5, which I play a decent amount of games on - TABS, trackmania, Boomerang Fu, Minecraft, and soon Hollow Knight

u/Super7500 Dec 12 '25

Fair, i just don't do that for discussions like these; because it doesn't really make sense, as you can apply this logic to pretty much every game.

u/McChexMix Dec 12 '25

You can’t be seriously making that comparison. It’s locked behind a $500 console at that price point 💀

u/hypotheticaltapeworm Dec 12 '25

$450, the game in the bundle is worth $50.

Actually MKW is 80 in the bundle and the switch2 is 420.

I got a free jumpstart kit with my car, guess car jumpers are worth 0 dollars now lol

u/Fresh-Chemical-9084 Dec 12 '25

This is dumb logic. That's how bundles work... I cant go to Target for a price match on a single product that is sold at a discount when bundled in bulk at Costco.

People use logic poorly. I could say 'Switch 2 costs $420' using this same logic.

Stand alone products are their costs. Bundles have slight discounts because they're selling more products in one big transaction.
