So, it's cheaper in Japan, & they can't/won't share that cheapness elsewhere?

The Switch 2 in general, plus $80-$90 games they clearly weren't confident in.

I legit don't follow your logic here.
Like, what does any of this have to do with Mario now apparently no longer having quality games? This isn't Sonic the Hedgehog we're talking about here, Mario doesn't have a near 3 decade long track record of subpar at best titles to make it a toss up if his next major game is good or not, and the prices are just... y'know, prices. Absurd prices but they don't mean anything in regards to quality.

I think the price is also a product of increasing costs in game development, the increasing development time and the fierce competition of free-to-play games.
I remember reading something around of the sort. Essentially, your game can sell like 3.000.000 copies but game budgets are so big nowadays (not only on those massive, hyperrealistic open world games, all big company games suffer from this) that you still don't break even. Larger development times due to the amount of stuff, detail, talent and technology put into projects also mean you can't just make games quick enough anyomore (think how in the PS2 era we could have a game triology in like 3 years, nowadays we'd be lucky to have the triology in the same console gen).
There's also the issue of catching the interest of people. It may not sound that big at first, but a lot of the potential audience either sticks to whatever free-to-play constantly updating game they are happy with and if they are looking for something, they are more likely to try free to play alternatives over forking over 70+ USD a new game, unlike before when if you wanted to play a new game you had to pay in advance or luck out with a demo.

Other than Wonder, Mario Switch games have kinda had a bad track record. Aces, Showtime, most Mario Parties, the RPG remake, all the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLCs. The Donkey Kong game looks good, but other than that all they're really showing is more Kart slop.

Odyssey??

That was at the very start of the Switch's run. Like, during the Wii U era practically.

But Odyssey is still a Switch Mario game, though. I don't know why it wouldn't count when it comes to Switch Mario games

...Odyssey
Aces was probably the best of the Mario sports games on switch, Mario parties I am pretty sure only the first one was particularly disliked, I liked the RPG remake, I don't know what is wrong with the Deluxe dlc. The warioware games I thought were well received, so was the thousand year door remake, and Bowser's fury

Ok so the other Kongs will be in the game, Nintendo Today (The app not like today, I mean it was also shown today but yknow) showed off that Cranky will be there

Bro, I'm genuinely excited for this game. Like the new Mario Kart looks like straight up gas (pun totally intended there, BTW), but a brand new Donkey Kong game that looks like Super Mario Odyssey and involves destroying everything in your environment? Hook that shit to my veins like a drug.Ok so the other Kongs will be in the game, Nintendo Today (The app not like today, I mean it was also shown today but yknow) showed off that Cranky will be there

Gonna be straight up here: Can I just remove Cranky's first key from his profile? I don't feel like getting calcs together for it lol

Cranky Kong
Cranky Kong is a widower and Donkey Kong's constantly complaining and rambling grandfather, who has made numerous appearances throughout the Donkey Kong series. He usually acts as a guide in the games to help his grandson Donkey Kong or his friends along their journey as he has had some...

Yeah that sure is a profile that was last updated in 2017!

Very High got changed to Genius. He's like gifted, he's knowledgeable and pretty decently skilled, but he's not like Bowser who ***** out a new mech suit or K. Rool who does the sameWhen was cranky a genius

Okay, this is pretty random. But Donkey's expressions seem to be more in line with the artworks from the older games instead of the face he's had since the DK Country series on the SNES.Ok so the other Kongs will be in the game, Nintendo Today (The app not like today, I mean it was also shown today but yknow) showed off that Cranky will be there

That's honestly a huge relief, I don't like the new DK design but I was afraid it meant they'd just try to change his cast and I'm glad they aren't.Ok so the other Kongs will be in the game, Nintendo Today (The app not like today, I mean it was also shown today but yknow) showed off that Cranky will be there
Say, that statue he was fighting... sure did look like it had crocodile mouths on it...
