So you were willing to pay more for just Jam. But now that it's got more features, you're not willing to splash the dough?

I'm not sure if I care about online play (which I didn't beg for), but all I want is what the SNES version had. I don't have an SNES anymore, so I'd like to have that again. If it's reinvented like the TMNT game that's all good and dandy, but I have other basketball games that I'd rather shell the cash to play the full experience.
The Wii version is an IGN Editor's Choice, with quotes such as:

"The Wii version of NBA Jam is, essentially, a direct revisit to the classic old-school Midway game, but presented with fresh new-school tricks to jazz up the energy and bring the franchise into the current generation."

"But it's the gameplay where EA Sports truly nailed it. Past NBA Jam games have tried to advance the design, but the EA Sports' NBA Jam team clearly wanted to reign its design back to the franchise's basics."

Quote:
I never knew the Wii version was $50. If I heard that it was, I would have said that it was absurd. Now that I hear the PS3 version is a fully-featured disc game and is $50, I don't want it. Plain and simple. I didn't make any wishlists with this game so I'm not in the "everybody" crowd.
I don't see why you wouldn't want it. I just don't. "Hey guys, we added more features to the game, but it has to come out by itself because the other game is ****." To which OS throws a hissy fit, and decides to **** all over NBA Jam even though it looks like a fantastic game.

I didn't buy NBA Street either, but The Bigs was overpriced as well IMO. I just think these arcade games should be pretty bare-boned and priced as such (and preferably downloadable only so they can justify the price points instead of paying so much for discs and cases, etc.).
Why, dear God, are you asking for games to be bare-boned? I... I don't get this at all! So NBA Jam should only be straight up 2 vs 2 without any modes whatsoever? Why do we even need HD?

Quote:
If Elite was going to be $60 included with NBA Jam (albeit a limited featured version), I don't see why we can't get that version for its "value" as well. That would have been perfect, for most people who see the game as it is... a revitalized SNES game (with more features).
I'm almost completely sure that the NBA Jam for SNES, along with every NBA Jam(+ Hangtime, Showtime, whatever) has been more than 50 dollars.
