You assume that they are budget conservative but you fail to realize that they are very much the same like the game industry. The fact that W101 costed 30 million dollars just goes to show that nintendo also blows money too. You also forget to account for the fact that hd assets also cost more to produce.

 

BTW pikmin 3 got moved to the WII U so it also got more expensive to produce. 

 

Even accounting for inflation hd titles still cost more to make.

you have no proof W101 costed 30M

Ana NO. Kamiyas trolling doesnt count

 

HD titles maybe, but budget conservative Nintendo games like SOnic $ MArio, Zelda WWHD, Pikmin 3...etc. i dont think so, you will have to provide some evidence to convince may.

Not sure where the exact figure is coming from but this doesn't sound like trolling from his side:

"We've never used this size of a team and this amount of time to build a game before,"

Definitely the most expensive game Platinum Games has created (before Bayonetta 2 at least). So should easily be $20m without advertising.

Sonic Lost World, Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3 aren't that conservative either.
