I agree w you re Nintendo being more flexible in development and probably is able to make many games for less than most other major devs-  

But they are still a major developer creating/developing a game under one of their core brands (Kirby) so the budget for devlopment, marketing etc is going to be in the multi millions on a home console-   I would be surprised if all cost combined are under $10 million and could be much much higher 

edit

I don t htink much of Kataku but the linked article uses sources for most of the pertninet info contained-   It seems to give ideas how much varius games have cost or at least educated estiates (from the sources sited)  there are other articles out there that estimate and research how much it cost to develop vdieo games- obviously the cost vary  greatly depending on the game .  I do think Nintendo can make games at a comparatively lower cost than most other developers but it woudl not be multiples lower

They dont talk about nintendo, nintendo is realy different, they havnt wenn the indi or AAA road, they make games in the middle like before.

i would be suprised if the game+ marketing costed more than 5m.   its not an AAA title.
