Aren’t most Switch games still $60, though? Just flipping through the US E-store, the only game I saw at $70 was Tears of the Kingdom, and this version of Mortal Kombat is not going to compare favorably to that.

I wouldn't personally buy it for the switch.

But typically publishers are not making the price on release based on what platform you run it on. It looks worse, but that isn't really the game's fault. It has the same amount of cost attached to it as any other port of the game, if not more. On the other hand, from the consumer perspective, I can 100% understand why someone wouldn't want to spend $70 on this.

In the end, will it be worth the money they put in to port this game to less-than last gen? I have no idea.

Some mid level exec wants to keep his units sold spreadsheet relevant for all platforms.
