I think the system is worth $60. The games alone are absolutely not.

I understand your position. However, I'm not entirely sure how are we supposed to value games. There are classic games that I'm willing to pay a lot for them nowadays. But that's just subjective value. 

Which is what matters to me in the end. As a consumer 20 bucks is such a good deal for me.

Don't get me wrong - I'm willing to pay a lot more. I bought a ton of Wii/WiiU/3DS VC games at full price.

But they definitely are not worth those prices. I just couldn't be arsed to protest $5-$15 game prices. I could have downloaded all of those games for free elsewhere (not that I would), but I didn't. But anyone can with no ramifications, and I honestly see little reason why they shouldn't outside of the obvious when the games have been outrageously overpriced since VC first started.

$20 isn't a good deal for a drip feed of just NES/SNES games that are worth pennies if anything at all, but considering how much they were before this, it's an astronomical improvement, and I'm all for supporting significant steps in the right direction like this. Less than $2 a month access to classic games, once the library is actually sizable, is fine.
