Eh. That's well too much. It's certainly possible to release it for less. I'm assuming the fact it has a small, but dedicated fan base is one of the reasons it's so high. Gouge the loyalists, while anticipating modest overall sales. Still, Sega released a remaster of Valkyria Chronicles, a nicely upgraded port of Yakuza 0, and a redone from the ground up Yakuza 1 ( Kiwami ) on the PS4 for $30 each. And all came in primo Steelbook cases. That's how this shit CAN be done.

Of course the root reason is money.

 

However, with the Switch I seriously wonder if Nintendo will benefit from $60 first party titles only. Shouldn't they aim for cheaper titles as well? Some Sony titles released at lower than sixty, and I fail to see why a port is not only full priced, but more expensive than the original entry

All we can do is speak with our wallet. That's the only language many companies understand.

Well, of course. I'm not gonna criticize the price and buy it for $60. I criticized US/UM being a moneygrab and didn't buy it, and I continue to speak w/ my wallet regardless of the company.

That rearely works.

 

They either take the other M route and think we don't like DKC, or most people buy it anyway.

Speaking with your wallet does not work ubless a substantial about collaborates to do so (like over 10%). And they know most wii U owners won't buy it so...

Well that's a risk we`ll have to take. I love Tropical Freeze, but I'm not paying full price for a game that wasn't even full price to begin with. When they lower the price and people start buying it, then they'll probably understand that it was a price issue and not a demand issue.



That's normal for nintendo.



I dont understand why you guys are asking the same question every time a switch game is announced. If you dont like the price, just simply dont buy it.
