Super Mario Bros. 3 should be $50 due to the demand. If you want both versions, $120

but by raising eshop vc prices, that causes a rise in stock ebay prices, causing less sales. This will lead to a nintendo fan strike for lower prices. WiiU would ultimately fail, ebay with face finacial issue due to the increase of prices and decrease of bidders on nintendo products, causing another video game depression on nintendo which will cut a lot of money, making hundreds of nintendo workers to lose their jobs and lower any quality of any new nintendo games. Please understand.

@ogo79 just because you were impatient, you want everyone else to pay the same amount? Not everyone just has hundreds of dollars laying around. Some work hard so they can even have enough money to feed themselves much less pay 100+ for a game 15+ old, so yeah, burn.

Brilliant idea.

They practically gave Earthbound away, hopefully they'll rectify this mistake by charging North Americans $300 for ALttP and SMB3.

It is? I got so used to people complaining about it along with SMB3 I kind of lumped them together.

Look, here's the thing. Even if it causes Nintendo to go up in flames, @ogo79 will use his valuable rare games to buy the Nintendo. He'll make the prices even higher, but people will buy it because of his handsomeness. And when you buy the games, Ogo will be getting money, and maybe he might share his gold swimming pools. A win-win situation.

that won't happen because by the time that happen Ogo will have upgraded his gold pool to platinum because it is more valuable and only after making gold more valuable than platinum he'll make a larger gold one.

VC games should be $59.99 and the new retail games should be $4.99 because old games really do kick the crap out of today's selection.

1 -i expect you all to pay much more than i have for a physical cart. im not "impatient", im just trying to get this "rare downloads" program on the roll, why you hatin?
2 -i dont work hard at all so i dont know how that feels, when im lazy i pay people low amounts of money to put food in my mouth so i dont have to use my own hands.
ill probably snip their check and hope they dont notice because thats the type of lowdown person i am.

@ogo79 wah, thats horrible. It those type of people who ruin America, why theres no work ethic left. If nintendo charged 100+ dollars for any game, they'd lose lots of customers, make no type of profit in any ways, and valuable time in making or porting games that don't need high jacked up prices in this economy. And dont answer "Nintendo has a lot of money, they can take a hit" because someday, somethings gonna happen where they mess up to much if the fans tell them what to do. Appreciate what there is and don't be a jerk. If you were like the majority of America, you'd be lucky to even think about getting a ten dollar downloadable copy of earthbound. Now if you were talking about Mother 3 coming to NA virtual console, it'd make sense to have a higher price and limited eshop time.

On the off chance that the OP was actually being serious, whilst I wholly disagree as I believe even the rarest of games should be made available to those who want to play digitally, perhaps a tiered system of prices should be made even amongst the same retro console and based on game quality.

The 500 Wii Poiny prices for games like Golf and Baseball always made me laugh, they were the equivalent to smartphone games. SMB and LoZ of course were worth the costs.

Perhaps rare and acclaimed games deserve a slightly higher price point but not so far that they deter people from buying the. (except the cheapskates).

Besides the majority of rare games high costs come more from being a physical entity and a piece of gaming history. If I built myself a replica of a Spitfire, I highly doubt it would be worth as much as a actual WWII veteran example. Or if I made an example for a flightsim, where's my £3 million?

I'm happy to see Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars as a Club Nintendo reward, but I'm left wanting for another Square developed title. Of course I'm speaking of the first two Final Fantasy games bundled together in remastered goodness for the GBA.
In Dawn of Souls the graphics are heavily improved, the overall game rebalanced, and four entirely new dungeons are added. The magic system was also updated to be more like newer iterations in the Final Fantasy franchise. The game is such an improvement over the original NES version.

The Wii U is incredibly devoid of traditional role playing games. Monolith's X and Golden Sun(GBA) are on the way, but I don't think two titles are enough for avid RPG fans.
If Nintendo wants to honor its RPG ways of old I can see no better way than bringing the series synonymous with the genre to the virtual console. With so many action and platformer games on the Wii U I really think Dawn of Souls would bring some much needed diversity to the console's gaming library.
Bravely Default was a great game for the 3DS, but I don't want Nintendo and Square to stop there. Let me play as the original four heroes of light. I want to traverse Corneria, battle the dark knight Garland, and save the world from Chaos!

I stream Mario Maker and other Nintendo games! Check out my stream if you'd like to see me play your levels live!

"the overall game rebalanced" I agree the NES version was pretty challenging (though that may in part be because of bugs), but the GBA (and PSP, which I most recently played) is almost the opposite (at least the main game). It's hard not to be OP.

They should only be available to them if @Ogo79 says they should be. He knows what's best.

@Ogo79 is getting around to paying you. Be patient.
