Japanese Virtual Console prices revealed (for the Nintendo consoles).
non-ImageShack'd image for whatever source. So roughly, NES games = $5. SNES = $7. N64 = $10. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
2:34PM: Virtual Console game pricing has now been officially confirmed. Iwata says the price of each game will start at 500 Yen, with SNES games going for 800 Yen, and N64 games costing 1000 Yen.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I dunno. The more I see "$250 Wii confirmed!" on different sites, the more it's not sitting well with me. And there's no remark anywhere as to how many wiimote-nunchukus it's gonna come with and no word on the classic controler. This seems to imply that there probebly won't be a classic controller in the $250 package and only one wiimote-nunchuku. Come on Nintendo, $199.99 isn't that difficult to pull off!
I was speaking idiomatically. |
EDIT: Although I forgot I use Canadian dollars...... Most amazing jew boots |
They previously announced that the Classic Controller wasn't going to be in there... I think. I remember reading that about a week ago.

MSX console support has been added to the Virtual Console?
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Infernal, is that Pay by credit card of Wii points card or Pay by credit card or Wii points card?
Jam it back in, in the dark. The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |
1:38 a.m. EST [update 7]: Famitsu reports 30 Nintendo games and 30 PC Engine/Megadrive (Turbo-Grafx/Genesis) games before end of year. Ten new virtual console games every month after that!
NICE. 60 VC games before the end of the year is pretty gnarly. All I want is Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
$6.50 $8.50 EDIT: US Dollars Roughly This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Ugh, they still didn't provide enough incentive for emulator-users to actually buy VC games.
5 bucks for an NES game is way too much. It should have been 99 cents or $1.99 per game. Especially because this is essentially free money for Nintendo. I was speaking idiomatically. |

That's a pretty high price for classic games, compilation packs of 10 games usually goes for around $20 in stores. They're really milking them for all they can...

I can see myself paying $8 for Super Metroid and Secret of Mana on my television screen. Then again, nostalgia is priceless for some.
There's nowhere I can't reach. This picture of a My Little Pony represents my failure to review the Mix CD that was sent to me. Like this image, I am a shining beacon of shame and disgrace. |
2:45PM: Virtual Console will accept purchases via credit card, or via prepaid cards purchased in-stores.
It's or! Hooray! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
How ya doing, buddy? |

From Joystiq-
1:55 p.m. [update 8]: And the other shoe drops. Famitsu is reporting a December 2 launch and 25,000 yen price for Japan. That's roughly $200 in US dollars... December 2nd seems a bit late though. They DID say they would launch before PS3, right? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
2:50PM: We just received word that the New York Times article has been pulled from the web. Perhaps our suspicions were right and they were simply guessing the approximate price point.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Oh for god's sake.
Can't the media get this shit right? Most amazing jew boots |
