I *gladly* paid $40 for Metroid Prime Remastered, and this was after I had just purchased a Steam Deck and was just starting to play through PrimeHack. It was 100% value, and I wanted to reward a $40 ask. I waited until Mario RPG was on sale for $42 and I’ve been very happy with that purchase. My two biggest Switch library purchases were: Mario 3D All Stars for $60, and $60 for Skyward Sword HD for $60. And at this point, I’ll be happy with my versions of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on my Steam Deck no matter what they do for the inevitable last gasp cash grab this winter when they release each game for $60.

I dont think consistency matters to nintendo, its about percieved value. Nintendo thinks 60 is a price they can get away with because its a basic 2D platformer, and people are aware of DK. Metroid Prime was 40 because it's a more niche franchise and 60 may have pulled people from trying it. I personally think 60 is too much for this game, but it doesnt matter because Nintendo can get away with charging more

I can see where people would be frustrated with the price. However, there is a lot more to be happy about this version than the previous releases: 1) now you don't have to decide wether to play it just on the TV on the Wii or only on the go with the 3DS so that's a nice plus. 2) The visuals do look nice, not incredible, but nice. 3) it's a excellent game well worth playing through multiple times and there is a lot of people I'm sure who have not played the game because it came out 14 years ago. And 4) my personal biggest reason why I want this version is because I preferred the Wii version because it looked a lot nicer, but it was held back by it's controls. I hated having to shake the Wii mote to roll and then push the jump button so much. It felt too distracting when I'm trying to get through some of the more difficult sections of the game. If I'm correct the controls will be more in line with tropical freeze and the OG games and that's gonna make a world of difference in the enjoyment and playability of the game where now it feels more like my fault when I die than dying a cheap death due to poor control design. But this is just my opinion from someone that loves this series of games.

The original Donkey Kong Country Returns on Wii came out in 2010, and the inflation rate has gone up by 44% since then. If you purchased the game for $50 in 2010, then that would be the equivalent of $72 in 2024 via inflation. So I'm pretty sure the new HD version on Switch is technically cheaper than the original Wii version, since it's $12 less than its inflated price/value.

I'd say it's not even that. Nintendo knows that enough people will pay high prices, that's why they price it high. It's that simple really. If I had a business where people complained about my prices yet continued to pay them I would keep my prices high until sales started to drop, then I'd discount it. Companies only know the language of money, and lucky for Nintendo gamers have no backbone and never vote with their wallets. It's really that simple.

I mean, Nintendo has been doing this FOR LITERALLY DECADES. I understand the COMPLAINTS, but at the same time, Nintendo’s NOT holding a gun to your head to buy it. I’m weirdly OKAY with it because this game has NEVER seen a release OUTSIDE of the Wii (which forces you to deal with the stupid “waggle controls”) and the 3DS (which is like a 240p handheld with the power of a PS1/PS2) so bringing this to Switch-IRREGARDLESS OF THE PRICE-is AT LEAST opening it up to a whole new audience (but now in ACTUAL modern high definition). Luigi’s Mansion 2, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Pikmin 1+2, Metroid Prime Remastered, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, Pikmin 3, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, The Legend of Zelda: Skywatd Sword HD, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and MORE that I’m PROBABLY forgetting-ALL RELEASED at CURRENT MSRP or damn near close to that. I just find this “cycle” of complaining for EVERY new rerelease that comes out (like you’re somehow OBLIGATED to buy EVERY NEW PRODUCT that’s put out) tedious, exhausting, and futile.

NINTENDO values their IP’S they have always sold their games at a premium. Nintendo understands if you can deliver and set the price at $60 the next game can ask for $60. In a couple of years it will be on sale for $40.
