I dont see the problem. Its aimed at people who don't have a Switch who would also not have MK8.

Cause market penetration is almost fully there and they got a nice boost from the pandemic. Whos buying a nintendo switch today? Mostly parents for their kids who turned of age or people replacing their damaged ones or upgrades to OLED model.

"Hey guys, it's the same price, but we've tossed in a download of a seven-year old game and pathetically short online pass that isn't even the good one! $70 value!"

It's Nintendo.
Every other gaming company uses the holidays to hype up the newest thing. Nintendo uses the holidays to clear old stock.

Mario Kart 8 is the most popular Switch game. Basically everyone who gets a Switch gets MK. So it makes sense.

This is Christmas presents for the kids type stuff.

Are we sure it isn't so popular (sales wise) because they bundle it?

Most likely the case, a lot of the games on the top selling list of all time, are bundled in with consoles.

Then Nintendo trolled your kids, hard.
"Oooooo! 'intinno switch! I wanna play!"
"Hold on, daddy's gotta get the internet hooked in... and why won't it connect?!"
"I wanna plaaaaaaay!"
"Okay, the wireless finally connected, and we just gotta wait for the download... four hours?!"

Its just sad because nintendo just doesnt care to make good new games anymore

Been 7 years since MK8, previously the longest gap between MK games was 64 -> Super Circuit (5 years), and its been less than 3 years since then

Nintendo releases good new games all the time lol they just came out with Dread and Mario Party Superstars in the same month.

There's almost no reason to make two Mario Kart games for one console and Nintendo knows this. MK8 was a great game that no one had the chance to play on U, because no one bought that shit. It would have been a waste of a game to skip out on not porting it.
