I appreciate that Nintendo is bringing another Wii U game to the Switch and that it will include all the previous DLC, but knowing Nintendo this will be another $80 full priced game. The Switch has been around now for over 3 years and this game was 4 years old when the Switch launched. I don’t know how Nintendo can justiffy launching a 7 year old game at full retail price.
That being said, I do like that a new batch of players will have the opportunity to play it, but I wish Nintendo used a better pricing structure for bringing back older games.
