I won't disagree that the quality and quantity of content are worth full price, but the truth of it is that this is a 10 year old game being released at a higher price than it sold for originally. I'm not even the kind of guy who thinks games must always go down in price over time, that's kind of a silly concept, but come on. This really should be selling for less. $40 would be fine. $50 would be tolerable. But $60 is just wrong. Also I don't think the relatively low sales of the original are due to motion controls as that was the main reason Wii and its games sold by the dozens of millions. It was just released too late, at a time when the console was already fading in popularity, and if somehow the Zelda name would attract any casuals, they already had a cheaper game to go for (Twilight Princess also didn't do much compared to its install base). As for your time with it, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Skyward Sword definitely gets a lot of unwarranted hate, even now. I thought we were past the days when people thought linearity in games is inherently a bad thing, but it turns out that is still the case. In my opinion it's easily one of the best Zelda games, personally it's my favorite. And I would disagree on Ancient Cistern being the best dungeon, although it is very good, the best one is yet to come. |
Bolded I think Nintendo knows it'll sell like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze etc. Even I Bought New Super Mario Bros U deluxe at 60$ :( |
Agreed. But DK tropical Freeze is an excellent platformer, NSBU is an okish platformer. Skyward Sword it´s a polemical version of 3d Zelda.
