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. |
Snes cartridges were very expensive back in the day, and this isn't a technology pushing expensive budget game that Super Metroid was back in 1994. Capcom didn't charge $60 when they started making new Mega Man games, and this kind of feels like that maybe a bit more. I personally think the game should be $40, but the $60 price point isn't going to stop me from getting it as long as the reviews are great as I expect.
