Wow, I was hoping it would be priced in the Captain Toad range. I wonder if they'll throw in the original for added value...

Keep in mind that Toad was a port, where this is a built-from-the-ground-up remake. I can't think of too many of those that don't go for full price, other than maybe the Crash trilogy.

Though I never spend $60 on anything myself, so I guess I can't fault others for balking at this price. Luckily "$45 sales" seem somewhat common with first party titles.

Oh, and as far as "straight-up remake," I really think they'll add a ton of new stuff similar to how they handled the Metroid 2 remake. That was the perfect way to do this sort of thing.

Ya, I suppose the glut of low-priced games on the eShop (and other digital storefronts) kind of turns full-prices games into stickershock.

I think I’ll hold out for one of those price drops, but I do hope the game does well. Then perhaps we’ll get a remake of The Adventure of Link!. I had so much fun with that game, I don’t know why it’s treated like the bastard child of the (canon) series.
