Most companies make games that recycle nearly all of the ideas from their predecessors, and still charge full price.

But most of the ones you have in mind (probably like Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed) don't come from a genre that's been around for over 30 years, that's been run into to the ground extensively and that requires limited technology. It feels like for a 2D platformer to stand out these days they need a unique artstyle because we all know they ultimately all play the same (or so). So if such a familiar genre recycles ideas then we know it probably didn't require much work, hence the lower price point.

Kirby franchise has several traditional 2d platformers. This is a sequel of one game that plays completely different (compared to 2D platformers) and to top it off the 1st game probably came out about 10 years ago~ish.

 "It feels like for a 2D platformer to stand out these days they need a unique artstyle because we all know they ultimately all play the same (or so)" How does this play the same (or so) as a 2D platformer btw? The artstyle is different, ok?

Srry im a bit confused as to wat your trying to get at here :-/

 

Edit: Just remembered where this started from (my first post). Does it bother you i think $40 is a good price for this game when many games recycle (when this game innovates alot more compared to many others) that are sequels? And like i previously mentioned, this is Nintendo's 2nd game that plays like this. and the first was so long ago :0
