I think the words “fair/justifiable” aren’t doing this thread any favors— if Nintendo wants to charge $70USD for their product, then so be it. Nobody is entitled to the luxuries of the global north. This is Nintendo’s product and they have arrived at an exchange offer they deem suitable. If you find the tag reasonable, then you have every right to take them at their offer. Otherwise, you can simply move along.
So, in that sense, is it “fair play”/“morally justifiable” for Nintendo to charge so highly for MTFever? I mean…we’re talking about video games lol. Not milk and apples. Yes, there’s nothing wrong with this.
HOWEVER, reading the OP, it seems you’re asking whether one finds the game (personally) worth the $70USD price tag. For me: I purchased the game for $70USD, so I did indeed fine the title worthy of the tag. I haven’t played it enough to truly say whether I’m getting $70USD of fun out of it, though from all that I have played so far, I’d say it is definitely worthy of the extra $10USD over Tennis Aces on the basis of presentation alone: the cutscenes and in-game graphics are absolutely stunning! It is clear this game was not made nearly as cost effective as Aces. This in addition to the featuring potentially the best Mario sports gameplay loop in series’ history, and you have a winner.
That said: If you don’t wanna spend $70USD, you can easily pick up this game used for $60USD at GameStop OR $40-50USD on FaceBook Marketplace in a few weeks. At these prices, I’d definitely say you should give the game a shot (no pun intended).
