Nintendo is facing continued backlash for its pricing, but are the new Mario Galaxy re-releases on Switch really too expensive?


How much are you willing to pay for quality? Are the Super Mario Galaxy re-releases for Nintendo Switch too expensive?

But Nintendo setting the price of two iconic, borderline immaculate video games, and people arguing they aren't worth that much money, is a very different matter. Present someone new to video games with Mario Galaxy and a bunch of other recent 3D platformers, and I'd be astonished if 95 percent of those surveyed didn't pick Nintendo's micro-planet-hopping adventure as the best and most-deserving of its price tag. You aren't required to buy re-releases and, unless you go back a very long way or are trying to get hold of rare games, you can fairly easily pick-up classics for way less than the marginally improved versions releasing on new hardware.
