But all these games competing for my money aren't largely comparable at all. $50 for a game is perfectly reasonable if that game provides me with an experience that I really, really want.

Okay, but there are many people out there that prefer to play many different games, and that's what today's market is like. It's pick up and play, and there are many apps that fulfill that need in the market at the moment. Imho NSMB U at 60$ doesn't fit the current state of the market.

Oh, I play a ton of different games incl. Europa Universalis, Mount & Blade Napoleonic Wars, Super Mario Bros., Minecraft, Mario Kart, Ace Attorney, Super Meat Boy, Zelda, Xenoblade etc. I'm all for diversity.

 

NSMBU may or may not connect with the market but imo that has more to do with whether or not the game is good enough and not so much with the fact that it's a 2D platformer. Time will tell I guess.
