What did Square charge for FFX HD and FFXII HD? Pretty much the same thing as SS HD. And X/XII were ported not once, but twice with the ps3 and ps4.

FFX HD was $39.99 for both the PS3 and Vita, and you got not only FFX but FFX-2 too, with updated textures, cutscenes, rearranged soundtrack, a new audio drama, etc.

So yeah, that was some pretty good value.

FFXII The Zodiac Age released in 2016 only, so there was no PS3 version. It launched for $49.99, being the international edition which never released out of Japan with a rearranged soundtrack, updated assets, etc. too.

So yeah, hardly comparable at all my dude. In fact, you just proved the opposite of what you set out to accomplish unless SS HD has all of these features I mentioned and it's releasing for a similar price, which I'm almost sure it isn't.

Not to mention Ninty games never have price cuts these days, unlike the aforementioned titles...

Well now you are just being unreasonable and intentionally seeking value in Square and not Nintendo.

FFX HD and FFXII are pretty much straight ports (played and beat the originals and ports), with a few minor additions.  Skyward Sword has an all new control scheme, I have also heard rumors it will be 60 fps, but far too early to consider that true.  

But more importantly is your sugar coating of Square's greed.  FFX HD was ported to the ps3....  re-ported to the ps4....  re-re-ported to Switch (and yes, for $50).  

FFXII was ported to the ps4, re-ported to the Switch (and yes, for $50).

I just don't understand how Nintendo gets bashed for a HD port, but Square is praised for a HD port of a port of a port.  Speaking of which, I'm going to laugh when FFX 4k ps5 version is ported.  

As for Nintendo games holding value, they do.  Which is why I day 1 purchase Switch games, but wait 6 months on Sony games.  I can get Sony games for $20 6 months later.  Nintendo games stay full price for a long time. 

  

Nintendo games hold value, Sony games drop like a rock.  This point, we agree.
