I never really understand these complaints about VC pricing as I think they are fantastic value to money, compared to buying the game physically. See Ogre Battle 64, the cheapest one on ebay UK is £31.45 ($51.54), compared to 1200 points or £8.40 ($13.50) on the VC. Even for none import games, the VC is amazing value for money, I was going to use the original Zelda as an example, but on Ebay UK the cheapest one was £99 ($159.11) - seriously check it yourself as the link has pluses in it, while the VC one is £3.75 ($6.03). What about the original Metroid? £18.00 ($28.93) including postage, while again it's only £3.75 ($6.03) on the VC. I really don't understand why people think the prices should come down when the originals are so damn expensive to buy themselves. |
Well I'm checking Amazon and eBay and all the games you mentioned are going for a lot cheaper. Zelda is $7, Metroid is under $7, etc. Also, I get the advantage of having a physical copy to collect or resell if I please.
Ultimately, I don't wanna pay more than $5 for a digital copy of 16 bit game. Especially considering its just emulation with no added features. If I just want straight emulation, PC is a better option (which is legal if you own a physical copy).
I'm not complaining about N64 games being $10. I think that's fair.
