Pfft funniest thing I have read in the forum page, $100 for rare digital games just because your ridiculously sad and are willing to hand over a stupid amount of money for a game that really isn't worth that much does not mean the digital version of the same game should be more. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

There was a lot of debate about whether to charge more for Super Mario Bros. 3 as opposed to Ice Climbers, and we ultimately decided on a fixed price per platform for a couple reasons. First, it’s simpler to manage from an internal processing perspective. If each game had a separate price, there would be lots of opinions about each game, and consolidating all of that feedback would be very time consuming. Second, there was a little feeling of holding people’s childhood hostage if we priced certain games higher than others. To take an absurd example, let’s say we charged $50 for Super Mario Bros. There would be some people who really have strong nostalgia for that game who would begrudgingly pay it. But they’d probably feel cheated and exploited.

I can relate to that - rarity doesn't make the price on a download platform anyway, since it's available to everyone in virtually unlimited number. CHarging extra because it's a rare game for its original release is hardly justifiable.
I just texted Reggie and told him the prices for these Rare downloads are too cheap. Him and Iwata-san really should be thinking more of their shareholding investors when they drop bombs like this on us.
Just for the curious, Mexico uses the $ sign for peso, and 98.99 pesos is about $6.61US. (as I found out a few years when someone posted a Super Mario Sunshine priced with a tag of like $82, and they said it was actually 82 pesos)
So you spent tons of money on getting a rare piece of software and now that everyone can download it cheap you are mad?
How can anyone WANT a game to be expansive? Having an original cartride doesn't make you special.
Everyone should be able to enjoy great games. Stop being selfish!
expansive? thats exactly what my rare downloads program is all about. the rare titles get expanded to an audience that otherwise doesnt own the cart. if you meant expensive well thats not my problem. im expanding the expensive.

id never try to cartride my copy of little samson. now im not a heavy set guy myself but i can imagine if i tried to ride the cart it would probably crack and break. cartriding should be banned.

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
