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.

I see PSOne games on the Play Station Store listed at $5.99 to $9.99.  Why is it okay for Sony to charge up to $10 for it's 1st Tier of games?  But when Nintendo prices it's 1st Tier (console) games at $4.99, there is this insistence from some people that "those games are worth .50 to $1 at most".  At least Nintendo keeps it's pricing consistent per Tier.

It's not.

What are you getting at?
