If i magically had a Switch, I'd definitely pick this one up. I love Secret of Mana but Secret of Mana 2 is fucking legendary. I can never get enough of it, probably my favorite RPG of its time (tied at 1st with Super Mario RPG: LotSS)

VC games will not have online untill Nintendo gets the service up. Im sure thats why all the Neo Geo games that recently hit eShop aren't the online versions though they are on PS4.

Well damn, thats neat.

Far too cheap. I'll wager that Nintendo would make much bigger profits if they charged twice as much; I'm pretty sure that at least half of the people who'd be willing to pay ¥4800 for this would also be willing to pay ¥9600 for it.

And they really should try putting out a limited edition version for ¥19200. They could use a different cover or something.

You must be a sales major or something!  I think your onto something there :p

Seriously though, Nintendo should be putting these great old games, onto android/ios/their own virtual console, for cheap and sell millions of them instead. Glad to see Im not the only one that thinks so.

Yes! Now I just need to find somebody to play with. Secret of Mana is in my top five SNES RPG's, and the game's atmosphere and music is amazing.

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).

Considering that you're most likely not get an aswer to this anymore, you've probably hit the nail on the head.
