If it was a brand-new, big budget 2D Mario then I wouldn't have any issues with it being $60, but yet another NSMB? No thanks. What's worse is that I'm 100% sure the rumored NSMBU port will cost exactly that, they did it for Donkey Kong so why would this game be any different? |
Oh yes the port will absolutely be $60. I was absolutely shocked when the did it for DK but since they did that there is no way NSBM U port won't be $60.
Other than Mario Kart they really should have made a policy than any Wii U ports will be $40. If they did that I don't think anyone would have any problem with Nintendo porting a bunch of Wii U games, as long as they were being ported at the same time as new games in those franchises are being developed for Switch. Releasing Wii U games at $60 tells me Nintendo considers them new games for the Switch and can therefore take the place of an actual new game in the franchise. Like since they released DK at $60 (more expensive than it cost originally!) I know there won't be a DK game on Switch for years. With a likely $60 NSMB port on Switch in 2019, when I had been expecting a new 2D Mario game in 2019, I now expect to not see a new 2D Mario game for a few years. I don't know what the hell Nintendo is doing with all their resources since they should be focused on a single system for the first time ever basically, but it seems they are diverting their resources to bring out full priced ports instead of new games.
