The trigger here are 2D platformers ("a 2D Sonic game shouldn't get a $50 retail release"), so your question really should be why do I get so defensive about 2D platformers. That's because it is a genre that doesn't get the credit it deserves on a regular basis. It's still among the highest selling ones nowadays, so it's irrational to suggest that these games should better be relegated to download-only status. People willfully ignoring sales data is something I just don't like which is why my responses to such posts end up having a harsher tone than usual. |
i have a tonne of platformers on wii-ware and psn. 95% of them rarely last over 5 hours and I wouldn't pay 50 dollars for them either because of their short length. Obviously the main platformers like NSMB wii and donkey king are longer but I think they are in the minority. That is why they are monstly download only i presume. Games like limbo and Bit trip series would have died a peasants death if they were disc based.
