Yeah, 60 quids are the right price for an original trilogy properly remastered, not for this thing.
good thing people like me exist
Touché, good sir. I’ve seen Stockholm Syndrome up close and personal. If you need help make the “hand gesture” and do not forget to tuck the thumb. I believe you can also call an order some kind of pizza with certain toppings.
Sorry but no remaster deserves full price at all, its scummy asf…Then again that sums up Nintendos pricing policy perfectly
It's a remaster of a Wii game, from 2010. It's the third time they're releasing it on a new platform. $60 seems excessive.
This. Overall I'm happy more games locked to old platforms are getting rereleased. That's not the issue. The issue is the excessive price, that goes above what they have charged recently, even more than a new game. Not to mention, this is the third time it's been released on a different platform.
No. Literally the only game they've ever released at $70 was TotK. So this is not a serious criticism.
LOL. So they do praise the upgrades. But literally in the video they clearly state it is still nowhere near LM3 levels of fidelity. Which is also obvious just from watching, to be clear.
I didn't see straight "downgrades", more like they are making too many opinionated decisions in regards to graphical effects and art style, sometimes they look better, most of the time they don't.
It has the new levels that were in the 3DS rerelease.
It certainly looks better than either the Wii or 3DS versions. But man, $60 for a minor updated port of a Wii game? Yikes. Hard pass for me if it's above $40. It's more expensive than the original release on Wii. That's just crazy
I said it as a joke xD
At least 2 or 3 million, which will be enough for a tidy profit.
These HD remasters are for people that didn't play it before tho, not only from Nintendo but from everyone else, they're new games for those that haven't experience it yet.
Yeah. So much for that rumor about Nintendo Selects coming back this year. They've made it 7+ years without it at this point, why bother now. LOL
No, I don't agree. I think the game will be played by plenty of people who've played it before. It's both, of course. But many people who bought it once will buy it again for Switch. It released on two popular system with large install bases. They just released Mario vs DK in February, which was a brand new game made from scratch, even though it was based on the original. And that was only $50. So clearly their pricing isn't based on the cost of development. It's based solely on what they think people will pay. It's pure greed, through and through. Wind Waker HD launched at $50. A far more beloved game than DKCR, and far more work involved clearly than this port.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is also $60. I would have bought both at $40. $60 is toooo much for remasters/ re-releases.
Yep. Just wait for that inevitable twice-a-year 33% sale, off where it'll dip to $41.99.
I think Mario vs Donkey Kong was priced at $50 (I think) and that bombed big time. All of these should be $40 max!
Well, yeah, that's what I said in regards to pricing, they ask for what their data says people are whiling to pay. If others could do the same, they would, there you have latest FROM games being $60 with barely any price reduction during season sales because they can, same for GTAV for a long while (I guess they reduced its price so more people get into online), Skyrim barely went down in price and when it did, the remaster came out on PS4/Xbone.
It didn't bomb, it's 1+ million already. But agreed, $40 seems appropriate, and still make a tidy profit.
We're talking about a game from 2010 for Wii, that was already rereleased once in 2013, and is now being rereleased *again for the third time, for $60, with minimal effort done to update the game. It's got nothing to do with pricing for brand new large-scale games that ought to be full price. Using a voucher on a $60 rerelease of a 14 year old game is a huge waste of a voucher. But I'm sure some will do it. Wait for a sale and buy it then, save your voucher for actual new games that won't go on sale for a long time and you want to play right away. Like Mario & Luigi.
It ok pal, I also think it's too expensive and 99% probably won't get it (mostly because difficulty spikes of DK:TF), but I'm just trying to figure things out from Nintendo POV and considering how the actual target audience would perceive the product.
I'm just seeing it because I saw your statement but they literally say "from a technical standpoint, it's certainly no match for Luigi's Mansion 3".
