That's still not $40 which is what the poster being quoted declared was the standard on all other consoles.

So you were both wrong then.

So all new games on Switch should cost more than on PS4 and X1 since they get are only console mode. And the cross purchase that you can do on PS4+PSVita and Play Anywhere for X1+PC should cost over 100 USD per your logic right?

And it is BS to defend Nintendo looking at ports as brand new games when they aren't, and for the case in point it's a very basic port. While Activision releases 3 Crash, fully remade for 40 and in Switch will be playable dock and undock...

Also, please tell us what differences are between the full handheld version and the full home console mode?

Yep as I said earlier, we don't know if Nintendo saw that they would profit less at 40 even with more sales.

It is almost like a collection of several GOTY games made as one.

You are falling for the fallacy "I think it's prettier so it must be more demanding", without looking at the console load you can't be certain of it.

You could have 100 games you think is better or prettier or more demanding than one specific game, but in the end that one is the more demanding one.

Yep, and it was as you said a completely new game in a way (actually 3 =] ).

Standard =/= than mandatory, Beyond Two Souls + Heavy Rain remaster launched for 40USD as far as I remember.

God of War collections on PS3 was 40

Jak and Dexter trilogy as well

Sly Cooper the same....

Really?  When I first played the game at release, I thought they were trying to make it too pretty.  Seeing every strand of hair on DK in HD in the cutscenes was almost offputting in my opinion.  I don't need for a mascot character in a platformer to look like an actual real live ape to enjoy said platformer.

I do agree that jacking up the price for the Switch remaster is a mistake though.  Already having it on Wii U, I'm going to pass on this one.

No, I dont say that but definitely have extra value compared to Wii U, especially when we compare same game. PS4 offers only home console mode, Switch offers full handheld mode and full home console mode, its fact. PS4+PSVita and Play Anywhere for X1+PC is not same like what Switch offers, Switch is just one console and it works with evre game without additional hardware, costs or requirements (like internet).

I dont defend them I just saying whats their point of view, they act like Wii U didnt exist beacuse its failure with very limited user base and they looking on Wii U ports like brand new games, and in way they are if you didnt had Wii U, Switch months ago already passed Wii U install base.

"Tell us"!? Most people knows difference, I really cant help you if you dont know main difference between handheld and home console play.

You talking nonsense, I never said anything about whats more prettier, its simple DKTF 2D platform game cant be more demanding than 3D action game like Bayonetta 2 or racing game like MK8D.

You are confusion value with price and cost. But please entertain me on how a game that you buy once and can play in 3 platforms have "less" value than a game you buy once can only play in one device but the device itself plays in more options?? So should PC games be more expensive since ever you could buy on Steam and play in multiple HW and/or use a notebook to play on the go, or on the power outlet or plugged to the TV? And since we are at it, should the games on Wii and WiiU cost less than in PS360 and X1PS4 because they had lower performance? Or should the games on Switch cost more than on X1PS4 because you can play on the go and docked? Or should games on X1PS4 cost more because you can also play them on X1X and PS4Pro?

Nope, no one here would be able to explain the difference between the HH and the Console mode of DK, because they don't exist. It's a single game that you can play docked or on the go.

Nope, not talking nonsense, If it wasn't you, it was someone with the very same discourse about "simple" vs "complex", "2D" vs "3D", etc. More demanding game is related to how much of the processing power the games drains from the system, it may seem like being 3D, fast paced, photorealistic should be more demanding, but that doesn't make it be the case everytime. I believe this discussion was made on a Doom Switch thread where someone was defending that a game running at sub-720p and 30fps was more demanding than a game at 1080p60fps on the same HW, which is obvious, because if the first wasn't utilizing all the resources then it would have space for more res or frames... but the other person was talking about the other game genre, collor pallete, etc saying it was more demanding (which is the confusion between perception and reality).

You may say otherwise, but all you have done in your post is defend them.

The pixel density is so high.... that even cellphones with smaller screen present resolutions higher than fullHD...

If you’re worried about the cost, just wait a year or two until the price is reduced drastically. Clearly time was never of the essence for you with this game so why are you concerned about its price in the first week now? $10 is not make-or-break for a large number of consumers.

Nintendo needs to implement a $40 standard price tag for ports of their Wii U games. I'd be interested in getting some Wii U ports, but the only one I bought (or will buy) for even close to $60 is Mario Kart. 4 year old games are supposed to cost less, not MORE than they did when they came out! so insane. Nintendo really needs to offer better deals on their old games. The other systems are sooo much better about this. By the time a Nintendo franchise game has been out for four years it should absolutely have a price cut, and instead we have a 4 year old game coming out on a whole new system with a price increase! That's just a big FU to Switch owners.

I'm not one to defend the poor performance of wii u, as a wii u owner I've experienced slow loading, missing detail, terrible frame rates even compared to 360 and ps3 but I thought their was at least some elements to the wii u that can beat the Switch in portable mode. The higher memory bandwidth of the 32MB of edram, higher gflops of the gpu and the simple fact the Switch relies on heavier compression due to lack of storage plus needs to consider battery runtime which often motivates the developer to run at lower performance levels. The Switch portable version of this game is running sub 720P despite the portable screen being 720p. So no it certainly isn't a fact that the Switch in portable should outperform the wii u especially for a mainly 2D platformer like this.

On this... Nintendo fanbase defends that they keep the 60usd even 4 years after release to keep the value of the game... while every other customer is pleased with cuts and paying less. Some twist logic.
