I am the target group for this, and there is no way in hell I'm buying this for $60. When the $10 difference is a $10 increase on a 4 year old game from a previous system saying $10 bucks is irrelevant kind of misses the point don't you think. This should be discounted from its original price, not the same as its original price, and instead they went with the crazy move to actually increase its price four years and one console onwards. You're saying Super Mario Bros gets great sales on eshops, okay cuz it costs a few bucks. If they released Super Mario Bros for $60 it would sell zero copies. It's great that they are bringing the game to the Switch. If the price were the same as when it came out that'd be very annoying, but increasing the price of an old game is just outrageous. I'm only one person, but they lost a sale right here due to stupid business practices. |
Okay, then just don't buy it. Speak with your wallet. That's the most powerful instrument you can use.
It doesn't matter if it's a port or not. It's the consumer's perception that matters. If it's a new game to you, then it makes no difference if it had already been released on another patform. Why don't you just buy it on the Wii U instead if you think that 60 bucks is too much? You happen to own a Wii U if I don't mistake you for someone else?
