But shooters and adventure games have improved tremendously since their early days. I would much rather play a modern game of those genres than an older one (bar nostalgia). Whereas 2D platformers haven't changed nearly as much. That's why playing early 2D platformers is pretty much just as enjoyable as modern ones. They're timeless because even early on they exploited most of the potential of the genre.
However much CoD games recycle from their predecessors they still require teams of 200-300 people working on it for 2 years or so. It's only a question of development budget. And those budgets are huge which then justifies a higher retail price.

So what about a game like warframe that is free to play and is a shooter? Or the fact that Call of Duty drops in price almost immediately?
This conversation is taking a weird tangent.
The fact of the matter is that it is good that Nintendo is pricing their games lower because it makes it more attractive hence more people buying their games which would spur them to continue to price their products more competitively. I don't know how this could be seen as a negative unless the game is Sonic Boom bad, which is not going to happen. I mean, am I missing something?

Yeah you're missing that I never said it was a negative thing.
