This is how I felt about 3D All-Stars and Skyward Sword, which were mostly unchanged and sold for 60. The visuals in this game are completely remade, the controls have a bunch of new options, and it's 40. Can we just enjoy a good thing without pointing at the price tag for once

@stormagi because Nintendo is way behind on the industry when it comes to remasters and pricing, they could have remastered and sold the entire trilogy at this price a la the Crash Bandicoot remasters. If you want to buy it that's fine but I don't see why they couldn't give one of their most beloved trilogies that treatment

You play all the Smash Bros. games. Aren't they just fundamentally the same game generation after generation, with a few new characters and stages? It's like buying FIFA and Madden year after year. You'll do that, but you bulk at $40 for a top to bottom remaster of one of the greatest games of all time? Weird.

@tomschaller smash always has new content. There's hundreds of differences between smash 4 and Ultimate, my issue is with the fact Nintendo could have remastered the whole trilogy for that price like the Crash remasters and chose not to. I get the appeal and you want to play it I'm not stopping you, I just feel like they could do more

...yet you bought and completed it? or is this a "review that isn't really a review"?

The reason why we didn't get the trilogy remastered is:

1) Retro is doing all of the remaster work in-house and has been doing so since 2017 until late 2021.
2) The original plan WAS to remaster all three games in time for Metroid Prime 4 to be released, but then Nintendo gave 4 to Retro and they had to downscale their work so they can juggle both the remaster and Prime 4 at the same time.
3) The other two games are getting remastered by a different studio (probably Iron Galaxy since they helped Retro with this first game remaster) and they're probably gonna do a dripfeed release leading up to Prime 4's release.

While I get the frustration that they released this game at $40, and the likelihood that the other two games will likely also release at $40 each for a total of $120 (as high quality as this release is), this is probably the best case scenario when remastering these games. Nintendo could've done a 3D All-Stars/Skyward Sword HD situation for $60 that is just an upscale of the original trilogy, or worse, just the first game with virtually no effort put whatsoever.

My main issue is what exactly is going on at Nintendo to suddenly release this game after keeping it in the vault for nearly 15 months after its completion. I don't know if it has something to do the COVID-19 impact, which Japan is still reeling heavily from even today, or just some weird mismanagement because this should've released sometime last year in time for the first game's 20th anniversary.

@RemindAround you know what, that's a decent explanation. I still disagree with the pricing but thanks for the input

Inflation calculated metroid prime 1 would be 30 bucks in the trilogy nowadays. 10 bucks for fully remastered models and textures is not very weird imo.
