By the way I don't have a NES/SNES/N64.

This might only apply to the UK.

Why are VC games so expensive? It cost £15 (30$) for 2000 Wii points in the UK. A N64 game cost 1000 points, so that is £7.50 (15$) for a N64 game. That is just ridiculous! I wanted to buy LoZ:OoT, SM64 and MK64, but realized it would cost me £22.50 (45$) in total, which is such a rip off.

In comparison, on the PS store I can buy a PS1 game for £3.50 (7$) which is fine. I have bought Theme Hospital, Crash Bandicoot and Medieval for £3.50 (7$) each which is very fair.

Why are N64 games double the price of PS1 games? It has stopped me buying three of the supposedly best games ever. It is also stupid that a NES game costs as much as a PS1 game and a SNES is more than £5 (10$).

Doesn't anyone else feel ripped off by this?

Rant over.


Damn, Wii points are expensive in the UK! I picked up a 5000 Wii points card for 5000 yen(~$47), which according to XE.com is about £24. Plus the 5000 point card came with a free Wii classic controller too!
