Virtual Console games are too expensive . . .

I kind of felt the same way at first, but then again... most SNES and N64 games for example are a steal at $8 or $10, because the titles that are currently available on the VC regularly go for at least twice that in the used game market. Good luck finding a copy of Mario RPG or Secret of Mana in relatively good condition for $8, or a copy of Paper Mario, Ocarina or Majora's Mask (gold editions) for $10. Plus you're getting a lot more bang for your buck for these games.

On the other hand I do think that most NES/TG-16/Commodore 64/Master System games are overpriced and should be a bit cheaper, maybe $2-$3 aside from major titles like the Mario and Sonic games of course. But then again... Microsoft charges no less than $5 for age-old arcade games like Pac Man, Asteroids, Joust, Galaga, etc., so why shouldn't Nintendo charge the same on the VC?

What? Secret of Mana is on the VC? No way!
And to your second point. Well Microsoft will be Microsoft and besides they are known for pricy products. But Nintendo should still lower their prices, and then maybe that'll make Xbox owners a little jealous . . . ha ha jk.

 

Yes way!  It came out back in Nov. or Dec. in North America... I actually got mine gifted via VGC's Secret Santa event (big shout out to NoName2200!)

LOL well I'm a Wii60 owner and overall I'm pretty happy with both, although the 360 arcade does have a much better selection of new and original titles than WiiWare does.  Just downloaded 'Splosion man and I love it... as soon as I get some MS points I'm gonna pay for the full version!  I've only downloaded a handful of VC games because most of the ones I'd want, I already own original copies.  I also got all the Strong Bad games and Mega Man 9 off WiiWare... it just didn't seem right playing MM9 on the 360 lol!
