VC games are not overpriced, full stop.
Ogre Battle 64 costs 1200 Wii points on the Wii shop, which is £8.40 ($12.99) assuming one buys wii points from the shop channel for £14.00 ($21.66) for 2000 points. On the other hand if one wishes to play the game originally, they would have to import a US version of the game, the cheapest one being £34.95 ($54.06) buy it now as I speak on ebay, and that's with the postage free.
Even for non-import games, the VC is amazing value for money. Super Mario Bros 3 is only 500 wii points, which is £3.75 ($5.80), however the cheapest one I can find buy it know on Ebay is £10.00 ($15.47) and that's again with the postage free.
To conclude VC games are much much cheaper than tracking down the original games, they are just not as cheap as PlayStation games on PSN.
