How much is too much for a remaster of an old Nintendo game?

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is an enhanced version of the 2o10 Wii game coming to Switch in 2025, and fans can’t believe Nintendo is charging $60 for it. The price was revealed in the new eShop listing and makes last year’s Metroid Prime Remaster look like an incredible deal by comparison.

On the other hand, Tropical Freeze was a Wii U port that added more to the previous version. It was also arguably a better game. You can see a lot of examples of Nintendo experimenting with variable pricing for its back catalog. Mario vs. Donkey Kong was a remake of a Game Boy Advance Game and it was only $50. Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp was $60 but it included visual overhauls of two games.
