I'd be all over it for $5-10.
This is the same price set Angry Birds Trilogy had.
Despite this, it's the best selling third party 3DS game in the US.
This is OUR fault. We are not doing a good enough job educating our casuals!
And I thought that Tomb Raider's ending sequence was going to be the hardest I laughed at something today.

$40-$50 is in-fucking-sane. I'll stick with my touchpad-enabled version on the OUYA thank you very much!

This is why I never, ever understand these companies. They do all the talk about games selling like shit in consoles compared to mobile and they don't look at the crazy inflated prices.
This will sell like crazy for $5 or less. That's all its good for.
I'll tell you what's truly crazy.
Activision does not put their games out on the Wii U eShop. So there is basically zero chance this is going to do anything on the Wii U. No one will want it at retail for $50, and it has no chance of being a cheaper option on the eShop until Activision changes their policy.

I'll definitely buy it
The sad thing is Angry Birds Trilogy sold a lot better than most third-party games on 3DS for example, so it's going to sell at that price. :|

Angry birds is a good game that is worth more than the usual $1 it goes for. Not worth $40 in any way though.

These guys are nuts. $40 for an angry birds game? These guys are so in over their heads.

I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I'm probably going to get this for Vita. I got both the PS3 and 3DS versions of the first game (one as a gift, the other...I have no excuse), and they were both surprisingly well made. Not so well made they justified being wildly overpriced, mind you, but still good enough that I'm interested in this new version.
GAF even has an Angry Birds on consoles defense force.

This reminds me of:
I was browsing inside a Game Stop. I saw Angry Birds trilogy on 3DS for $30. I thought, "wow, really?" After making a selection, I went up to the counter to checkout. I wondered allowed to the cashier, "do people really pay $30 for Angry Birds?" The clerk sheepishly looked down, then told me about how he's getting the 360 version to play on Kinect with his kids. I felt bad for accidentally making fun of him. But there you go, one reason that Angry Birds sells for that much money.
I've gotten $2 of entertainment/time-killing value out of the two versions of AB I've purchased over the years... but, yeah, will never pay more than a $1. Have never come close to finishing an AB game, much less 3 starring everything.

Haha, who the fuck pays that kind of money for an AB game? I've played them all (except Rio) on my phone, and I've payed exactly 0 for them in total. Yeah, there are a few small ad banners here and there, but I'll take that over paying $40, thank you very much. Plus, touch is clearly how these games should be played. How do they even work on consoles? Do you just aim with the analog stick?

40?!

The analog aiming obviously isn't as good as touch. Using the stylus for the 3DS version, though? That actually works really well. I found it a lot more precise than any other version.
