You might be right, but basically everyone is expecting there to be significant features of MKW which are as yet unannounced but will be featured in the upcoming Nintendo direct which is focused on that game specifically.

There is certainly an argument to be made about DLC cost being included upfront (and Zelda was already $90 on Switch 1 including the DLC) to avoid splitting up the player base for a game with an online focus. That might not be what they're doing, but my point is there are things they could do to justify the price increase for many players.

They also might just do nothing more than what's already been announced, but I doubt it because why then would they do another reveal later?
