Why is Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze $60?

this. I honestly believe how old a game is shouldn't be a large determining factor to how much it costs. I mean sure, it should play some part maybe, but overall if a game plays like a $60 game then by all means.

But one thing is for sure, at the end of the day, us gamers are the ones who vote with our wallets what games end up being bought. So the game may end up selling well or it may sell fairly and Nintendo has the advantage now of saying okay, we will have a holiday price special for so and so game! It's business!

One last thing people have to remember that Nintendo developed these games that no one hardly bought! Sure, Donkey is not the biggest name around but if we want more lets support. 60 is high but its okay this is a quality title and is worth every penny. I'm buying.

Though I agree with most of this, I do think raising the price of a game from its original release is quite shitty.

well, can't disagree with you there. I can't say I've seen a game go up in price before. $40 would've been perfect!
