I'd say $20. I really don't think this is more than expansion pack quality content. That's not a bad thing, but it's just not premium product material.

Well, I tried it today with a friend and we had a blast playing it. Sure, it doesn't quite work the same if you play alone (because you can't actually shout to the other people lol), but I think it's a solid game. It's actually difficult. The special missions, specially the time trial ones, require some hard work. But well, I've already play the game about 3 hours and yeah, I like it. Online works almost flawlessly.

I think at 20, no would would be complaining, haha, but that would be very unlikely to happen with Nintendo... : X

Like I said, I think it should have been DLC, not a stand alone game. I honestly think the only reason it is is because they wanted to have titles to show at E3. Almost everything they showed at E3 recyles assets from older games. The reason is obvious.

Yep. Sweet, sweet spot.

I take it then that you also would have had the same opinion about Majora's Mask upon its release?

No. While I see how you came to that conclusion, I don't think TH was trying to be anything more from inception.

I haven't been closely following all the posts in the thread, so I'm afraid I don't completely understand what you mean by "trying to be anything more from inception."

MM started as an expansion, but through (effectively) a bet became its own game. TFH was always intended to use the engine for LBW without adding too much besides multiplayer. 

Now I don't think that's a bad thing personally, it's better than shoehorning in multiplayer and possibly hurting another Zelda's quality. But it's clear this game was always meant as a piggyback game to make more use of the pretty good engine LBW used

By the way, guys, Majora's Mask wasn't conceived as an expansion. When the Zelda team finished with Ocarina of Time, Miyamoto wanted to do a DLC of it. Anouma stated that he'd rather do a whole new game, and Miyamoto challenged him to do it in the spawn of one year; thus, Majora's Mask was created, but that's also the reason it borrows so many elements from Ocarina of Time.
