To put things in perspective on pricing. Super Metroid released at $70 in 1994, which is roughly equivalent to $127 in today's USD.
Fusion released at $30 in 2002 or roughly $45 in today's USD.
Although prices dropped faster then than now.
I think $60 is a fine for the fifth mainline Metroid game.
Besides, Nintendo games retain their value pretty well. I know many people who aren't core Nintendo fans who buy Nintendo's games on whims knowing that they can resell it for 80% of its value if they wished.
This isn't true for the indie metroidvanias that people are comparing this to price-wise, some of which are digital only.
