The reaction to the Nintendo Switch 2’s price and cost of its games hasn’t gone down well. Players have been spamming Nintendo streams in a bid to have the decision overturned, and it’s culminated in Nintendo disabling live chat for the Mario Kart World Direct.
The Switch 2 Nintendo Treehouse live stream was inundated with hundreds and thousands of users spamming “Drop the price” over and over. It seems like Nintendo did not want a repeat of this for the Mario Kart World Direct.
Mario Kart World Direct Chat Disabled, Presumably to Stop Spam
Mario Kart World is one of several Switch 2 launch titles. It’s a welcome title that innovates in almost every way, and looks to be a refreshing Mario Kart experience. Its announcement was tainted somewhat following the Switch 2 Direct when we learned it would cost $79.99 for a digital copy, and $89.99 for physical.
Nintendo is savvy and was wise to any sabotage efforts this time around compared to the Nintendo Treehouse live stream. The Mario Kart World Direct chat was disabled, and social media quickly picked up on this.
Josh Gaming said: “Nintendo disabled the chat for their Mario Kart stream. Guess they don’t like feedback.”
Do you think this was inevitable, and Nintendo needs to do this to hide the negative feedback? Or should the company come out and address the controversy, or maybe consider lowering the price? Let us know here and in the Insider Gaming Forum.
