Price for Retro games on the Wii revealed

Postby ssj100matt » Wed Jun 07, 2006 2:48 pm

I got this from Slashdot but check it out...

"Iwata revealed that games for Nintendo's "virtual console" that will allow Wii owners to play old titles on their consoles will be priced at ¥500 and ¥1,000, roughly US$4.50 to US$8.99. For reference, classic retro games for the Nintendo GameBoy sold for upwards of US$35 for some titles, US$19.99 for others. Uptake was understandably low, as gamers were reticent to pay that much for old content."


Not to bad i must say... I mean i pretty much expected it to be in that price range since it would be nuts to charge people more than $10 for older games when you can just emulate it for free... But of course we dont do that

The only company successful at convincing you to buy old shit you owned 10 years ago.
With no notable differences.

Special exception to FF3Advance.

Wait, do you mean FFVI advance? (which I'm buying no question) or FF3DS? (which is the only FF not to see release here yet)
