Wait, a NES game on the Virtual Console costs 10 dollars? That is a lot, don´t you think? You can get two PSOne games on PSN for that, like Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid for example. I would pay 1 or 2 dollars for a NES game and 3 to 4 for a SNES title. No more than that.


Actually, no NES game costs over $5. Most SNES games are $8 or less. The $10 figure really only applies to a single game, Earthbound, which got a $2 price hike because the game usually goes for about $150 for a used copy on the internet.

That said, I believe that some of the current prices are a bit too high. I have no problem paying $10 for Earthbound, $5 for Mega Man 2, or $8 for Super Street Fighter 2. Those are not cheap per se, but considering how they're some of the better games of all time, they're a good deal. What I have a problem with is that some games which really should be in the $1 to $4 range are still $5 (Balloon Fight, Urban Champion, etc.)
