NES games shouldnt even be 5€/$6.

Saw a playthrough of it (I had never heard of StarTropics before), and he did it in like 1hour and 18 minuets or so.
Game looks really old and dated and not really that fun.

There are so many better games you can get for the same amount, from Steam or GoG.

Err... thread? In any case, I understand that you feel that €5 is too much for an NES game now, but you have to realize that these games cost about €60 in the past. So in some respects, it's quite a decent sale prize - that is if you waited long enough and are old enough to know that these games would have put you back €60 back in the day. Also, they cost €1 on WiiU if you bought them on Wii. So there's that. Also I prefer playing on my WiiU, rather than on Steam or GoG, so it doesn't matter to me that they sell cheaper games on there (they aren't selling NES or SNES games on there, that's for sure).

But I do believe that VC games could be cheaper. If they were to ask half or a quarter of what they're asking I would probably buy many more of these games and a lot of peolpe with me. But that's a personal thing. There are people out there that are willing to pay €5 for these games, and that's what keeps the prices up.
