By that logic, shouldn't all 3DS games be under $20 given they're practically below GameCube in tech and really cheap to make?

Still more expensive than a RB game.

The same team that made FE: A is making the new one. That's a development cycle of around 3 years.

A game can have a development cycle of 10 years, if only 3 people are making it, that doesn't mean the budget is anywhere near the same as a game with a 1 year dev cycle and 250 staff :p

Fire Emblem has no licensing, so even with a 3 year dev cycle, probably costs far less than any iteration of Rock Band.
