GBA game for $20 instead of being free on NSO with the rest. Of course it will sell because it's Pokémon but FFS Nintendo.

(i) Isn’t this what everybody is always asking for? The ability to purchase Virtual Console titles outside of the NSO subscription service? I think it’s good Pokémon Co is offering these titles on the eShop. Could also be that these two games will be coming to NSO later this year/alongside the eShop releases.

(ii) Hmm… complaining about pricing when it comes to video game products is something that has rubs me in a weird way. This is an inessential consumer good— not an essential product e.g. the rent to your home, food from the grocery store, etc. If $20USD is too much for you, then don’t buy. It’s not for you. Nobody is entitled to a free/inexpensive video game.

Didn't you just post yesterday Mario Tennis shouldn't cost as much as it does and Nintendo shouldn't charge the same for AA as AAA? Yes games are a luxury, doesn't mean you can't say something is priced wrong or bad. Though my main complaint isn't the $20, it's that Nintendo offer a higher tier subscription for retro games which I pay for and suddenly they have decided the best GBA game won't be included and will cost extra.

No I'm not entitled to free video games, though I was under the assumption that my paid for subscription did entitle me to their GBA catalogue.
