Lowest price for Mario Kart that I've seen in a while, JB Hi-FI has it for $64 currently, maybe you could get it cheaper if you use their "Seen it cheaper?" live chat.
CamelCamelCamel.
Only Nintendo can still sell 10yr old games for more than $50. The masters
They definitely know what they're doing by making these games playable/compatible with the next console… Making sure the prices don't dip whatsoever
If you make a good game, it's over to the competition to make something better to make you discount yours. This is still the best in class, the only competitor will be the next Mario Kart game.
I finished it on Wii U and when I upgraded to switch vowed not to buy it again… held out 5 years waiting for a new game… bought it again
I have just bought it for Switch after having completed a complete Wii U pal collection and MK8 being my 103rd physical Switch game.
To some extent there’s now a new games worth of tracks there with the expansion passes. Game has a huge assortment of tracks now.
@Smigit: true, but t does take the game price to around or above $100. but for those of use who want more Mario Kart and have been waiting 10 years, the expansion is the only thing we got.
There have been some great games like Mario kart, e.g. ModNation Racers was fantastic, but Mario Kart is Mario Kart, it has the market and the spotlight. So unless Sony makes their own kart racer with all Sony characters, I doubt we will see anything replace Mario Kart.
I think everyone else has stopped trying, plenty of attempts over the years that are pale comparisons. Realistic or otherwise, I am still yet to enjoy any racing game as much as any iteration of Mario Kart.
@pdtmathieson: Yeah, I don't think anyone would try, but hotwheels was fun, the car collection was actually really vool, and i really really did enjoy modnation racers, the track editor was great.
On the other hand, they don’t ship new titles with a $120 RRP like Sony and MS, and even with physical going cheaper lots of titles on those platforms are more like $99. Have to be prepared to wait for the drops with those other companies, which admittedly usually isn’t too long.
Just bought from Big W the other day. Stack with Everyday Extras 10% off and 5% off gift cards
Just got JB to match and I signed up an account for their 10 dollar first order discount.
Came to $49 🔥
Same here! Awesome deal!
By signing a new account, do you use different mobile numbers?
5% off gift cards?
Discounted e-gift cards are available from various sources and promotions. I get mine via the Victorian seniors portal
I don't think there's a better multi-player racing game out there.
Worth every cent, especially with all the new tracks.
Mario Kart isn't really a racing game, it's an arcade / party game that revolves around racing. Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon, and Gran Turismo are all arguably better racing games that Mario Kart. Aside from that, Mario kart is old, And now, found myself playing Hot Wheels Unleashed more often.
Wow, people just neg voting my comment but not counterarguing……… Did i hit a sensitive spot?
Have you tried just arguing with yourself? You seem like the kind of person that would enjoy that.
The new tracks aren't included in the base game just FYI, they are $35 DLC
Any deals on the map pack? I've never seen it on sale.
Sadly it does not seem to go on sale at all. I am waiting for a deal too.
Cheapest I have seen for Australian vendors is $35 for digital download currently on Amazon.
Thanks. Been waiting for an excuse to buy a copy.
Great game but if playing by yourself and trying to get the gold cups, it can be a frustrating experience because the game cheats constantly.
Nothing worse when you are leading the last lap on the last course to get the gold trophy, when you see the blue shell and then get hit by a couple of reds. Only then to finish in 5th place?
I can't tell if you're joking or not but I play with a friend all the time and this regularly happens to both of us. Holding on to the 1st spot is meant to be hard and take skill. It's normal to be first for a few laps and then get hit and fall back five places.
Yeah, it's frustrating as all hell, it's definitely rigged that way, too much chance / luck involved in winning.
perhaps better to not be in first so you can be the one dishing out blue shells?
I would be super curious out of everyone who has a Switch, what percentage don't have Mario Kart yet………
At least we know it will be compatible with Nintendo's next console.
Either way, that's a darn good price………….. but still a crazy price for a game that's 10 years old now……
