Even asking $20 is pretty steep.

try finding physical versions of any of the first three titles for less than $40 (in the case of mp trilogy and punch out, less than $80!)... i think this is meant to make supply-constrained titles, or out of print titles, available forever. xenoblade is perfect for this, in other words. i very much expect it as an appetizer to xcx's main course.

And? Suikoden II was hard to find for <$150 and it was just put on PSN for $10. These types of things are generally uploaded for $10-15. $20 isn't an awful price, but it's puts it out of impulse buy imo.

Suikoden II is a PS1 game. That is the equivilant of an N64 game, which goes for 10-12 dollars on the Virtual Console. This would be the equivilant of a PS3 game being sold for 20 bucks.
Earthbound is 10 bucks on the Wii U by the way, and that goes for about 600 new, so that is a better comparison to Suikoden II.
(Also, I own Suikoden II and had no idea it was worth that much, I should dig it out of my closet.)

He was talking about hard to find or expensive games now available digitally. It was just a recent example.
Best example was PS2 classics on PSN imo (that launched on PS3). They're all $10 (except for a small amount of big games that launched at $15 that later were lowered to $10).

Wii games are 7th gen games though, they are not as old as PS2 games even if you want to lump them into the same category due to the Wiis graphical prowess or your own personal bias. 20 dollars is a reasonable price for a last gen game, and 10 is a steal. 15 might be a better price overall though, especially for "smaller" games such as Punch-Out.
