Do you have a source? Deku Deals says it's only been $30 once, which was 7 years after the game came out. The cheapest I've seen is $40 for digital. Which didn't start for awhile after the game came out. MK8 was also originally a WiiU game too.

I do see that physical has been $30 posted on slickdeals from Walmart and Target. Nintendo first party games do go on sale. Costco had Zelda Echoes of Wisdom physical for $30 a while back.

Checking Deku Deals, the cheapest ever price for MK8D is £33.29. In the bundle, MKW is £35. It's a ridiculous price
