Part 9/13:
The 2014 Tropical Freeze game was originally released at $50 for the Wii U—a price reflecting its era and hardware limitations. When ported to Switch in 2018, Nintendo increased the price to $60 despite minimal new content. This move disappointed many fans who expected at least a comparable or slightly higher price, highlighting Nintendo’s mild greed.
Mario 3D World: The Fair Port
In contrast, "Mario 3D World" maintained its $60 price tag during porting, despite being over 8 years old, because it included Bowser's Fury, a substantive new experience. This laid a precedent for Nintendo maintaining perceived fairness while offering meaningful value.
