Good question, I think no chance.

Value should be based off quality, not genre. One 2D game may be worth paying 60$, while another isn't worth the gaming disc it's embedded on. I feel as though this is how every game should be treated.

I would also like to point out that Indie developers also make 3D adventure/platformers/puzzle games/etc. that are all less expensive than their "AAA" developer counterparts. This isn't exclusive to 2D Platformers.

Genre has nothing to do with asking price of a game. Content and replayability do and that applies to every genre. There is more than enough Hollywood garbage out there waay over asking price in other genres. Like I cant believe people bought original Uncharted and Heavenly Sword for 60.

I've yet to find any indie game whose quality is similar to a top-notch 2D platformer. Even the best indie platformers (Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV, etc.) aren't up to snuff.

Depends on the game. If it is like NSMB then no. If it is like Rayman and DKC then yes.

rayman legends worth 60$(i didnt pay that, but after playing it, i would pay 60$)
i expect the same for DKCTF.

Sighhh, I hate to pay $55 (plus tax) cause Canadian dollars is lolz :(

But yea, if TitanFall can get away with charging $60 for multiplayer only experience, DK is defiantly worth it

For me, I will absolutely still pay full price for a good 2D platformer. I spent a ton of time last gen with NSMB Wii, DKC Returns, and Muramasa: The Demon Blade.  Likely well over 100 hours combined.

Quality is quality. Doesn't matter what genre it is. There are some truly terrible games that have cost a lot of money to make, but it doesn't mean they're worth the $60 price tag.

I never liked the idea of 60$ games in the first place, so I'm inclined to say no. It's not just for platformers, though. The majority of these 5-7 hour long games aren't worth 60$ to be perfectly honest. Games are just over priced in general these days.
