Part 12/13:
The release of Kirby's $80 Switch 2 edition exemplifies a concerning trend: maximizing profits through minimal effort, minimal content, and inflated prices. While some fans may see it as a fair upgrade, the reality is that the fundamental content remains mostly unchanged, and the price is vastly inflated for what you get.
If consumers continue to accept this model, industry standards might shift toward overpricing ports and re-releases, ultimately creating an environment where value is sacrificed at the altar of profit. Until then, players are advised to be cautious—consider used games, discounts, or simply skipping overpriced ports altogether.
