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. |
Sure, but the game is half the price of Super Metroid when accounting for the devaluation of the dollar since 1994. And while Super Metroid was an "expensive budget game" for 1994 standards, it only had 15 people working on it. "Expensive budget" for 1994 standards is pretty much 'AA' at best for 2021 standards. Mercury Steam alone has 160 employees and they only seem to work on one title at a time.
Not to shade Capcom, but Nintendo games always hold value longer than their games do. In a year I can probably buy Resident Evil Village for half price new, while Animal Crossing (a game released a year ago) is still $50 new and $40 used.
