Nintendo's unrealistic pricing for old-school platformers et al.

It isn't my opinion, they are.  You are confusing quality with popularity.  Release a 2D Mario clone without Mario or his name and it will not sell as much, and people have tried.  Lets not pretend that Mario alone doesn't sell something regardless of quality or price, is why Nintendo sticks Mario in most of their games.

This isn't an argument. It's a fact that quality is subjective. Nothing more to it. What I think is a quality game is a crap game to you and vice versa.

In any case, that's what the second part of my post was for. Whoever said that quality has anything to do with pricing? Sure, Mario sells because of its brand. Key word: sells. And since it sells, its price is probably reasonable
