a GB game and 2 SNES games? for 45$ US? Your phone can play these games, your tablet, your laptop/desktop ect. Most people probably already have played these. These are 22-26 years old games, its crazy their not sold for like 1-2$ each on virtual console. That said Seiken Densetsu 2,3 are still decent games today. But you can get them off a rom site for free, and play them on any device. That 45$ price tag nintendo put on these is kinda nuts. |
So, Sony PlayStation Store pricing, nobody bats an eyelash:
PSOne: $5.99
PS2: $9.99-$14.99 (GTA Trilogy is $34.99, which is $11.66 per game)
But, Nintendo Virtual Console games (which this isn't, it's a physical + digital release from SquareEnix) MUST start at $1, or everyone loses their minds. Why, because Nintendo has been around longer and has a library that predates the PlayStation brand? I'm pretty sure if there was a PlayStation console in the SNES/Genesis era, Sony wouldn't be selling games from it in their online store for .99 cents a piece. And, to reiterate, Nintendo didn't dictate to SquareEnix that Square has to price their collection at $45. Yet, I haven't seen 1 comment saying Square is asking a bit much (again, despite the fact that they are also commiting a physical release to this collection), only that NINTENDO is crazy for choosing this pricepoint (which again, they didn't. Square did).
