- Namesbond, on 11/29/2007, -2/+78We need Goldeneye and 1080.
- bigbadgoat, on 11/29/2007, -2/+55It'd probably be double that if they lowered their prices by a third.
- harreola, on 11/29/2007, -1/+52Super Mario RPG
- Adonai, on 11/29/2007, -1/+43More like Chrono Trigger and Earthbound... though things like the real Super Mario 2 ("Lost Levels") and "Sin and Punishment" have been welcomed additions. Also, Nintendo, could you offer me some way to download these games to my DS to play on the go? That would be awesome.
- mywhitenoise, on 11/29/2007, -5/+38damn, I guess we'll be stuck at paying $5 for an NES game, and $8 for an SNES one for a long time.
- daftfunk1, on 11/29/2007, -1/+30What needs to happen is a gameboy channel so we can have super mario land.
- chrisinsocalif, on 11/29/2007, -2/+17You will never see Goldeneye on a Wii since the company that made the game (RARE) was bought out by Microsoft which I am sure MS doesn't want to released games to a console that is competing with their Xbox360.
- Okari, on 11/29/2007, -2/+16Let's celebrate by releasing Everybody's Channel in NA today.
- smackafiyah, on 11/29/2007, -2/+15Give me GoldenEye or give me death!
- enclaved, on 11/29/2007, -0/+124 dollars of that is mine and unused. It's going to take an extremely compelling game for me to spend another 10 dollars to use that. I would like to buy points in 100 unit increments so I don't have to play 'If I buy this game I'll have 700 points left and I could either get that stupid game for that system I never heard of when it was new or I can spend 500 and get that NES Baseball I've been longing for and lose 2 bucks until I have to repeat this whole dance again"
- jayfarer, on 11/29/2007, -1/+12Goldeneye isn't going to happen, what with the mess with Rare & the James Bond franchise licensed to EA.
- Bridea, on 11/29/2007, -2/+13BLOGSPAM!
Original article at IGN: http://wii.ign.com/articles/838/838286p1.html - KingGoonie, on 11/29/2007, -1/+11I actually don't mine that for the most part, since the only games I download are the ones I reaaaaaaaaaaally have been itching to play again in years (yea yea emulation, whatever). So while the price overall should be dropped, its not to bad for those games that Ive been waiting to play again for years.
Though for some reason the N64 games at $10 really irks me lol... only 2 dollars more then the SNES games, but for some reason thats a world of difference to me. Maybe because so far those releases have been few and far between and all games I already own and still have a N64.
And that certain games vary from the set price really annoys me... Sin & Punishment for instance. I don't care if it was never released in USA... its a N64 game, N64 games are $10, this should be $10... unless your going to release games for CHEAPER then the norm as well.
Plus they should give out freebies every now and then. Last year I think super mario bros came out on Christmas Day. How about making it a Christmas gift... free download of that game if you download it that day. - paulajohnw, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10SSB 64
- razmig, on 11/29/2007, -3/+13...really?
- realwx, on 11/29/2007, -0/+9Sonic & Knuckles (w/ lock-on in Wii)
- Sparkster185, on 11/29/2007, -0/+9It is a game.
- ircgoliath, on 11/29/2007, -0/+9* Legend of Zelda VC the same week as Twilight Princess
* Super Metroid VC a week before Metroid Prime 3
* Super Mario Bros. 3 VS a week before Super Mario Galaxy
It seems like Nintendo is making a trend of releasing a Virtual Console intellectual property right around the time that a new Wii game with the same intellectual property is released. So if that's true, we should see see Super Smash Bros. on the VC a week before Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
OR maybe we'll see SSB next week since that was SSBB's original release date. - nbcaffeine, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7Yeah, they might sell TWICE AS MANY!!!
- greenlight2001, on 11/29/2007, -1/+8My wish list 1... KingGoonie writing a understandable sentence.
- Andy.D, on 11/29/2007, -3/+10Not too surprising... nostalgia is expensive, and so are Nintendop's VC games. I think they would do much better if prices were about 50% less.
- NikoK, on 11/29/2007, -2/+9Goldeneye would be so amazing! The classic controllers dual analog stick usage would make it the ultimate FPS to date IMO.
But Better yet they should re release 007 goldeneye as a wii game with updated graphics :D (no changes in game though) - mattyice11, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7You might end up getting death before you get Bond on VC. You'd need Microsoft and Activision to sign off on it.
- Supernova36, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6Actually Activision have it at the moment..
- SteveMax, on 11/29/2007, -1/+7Yoshi's Island (AKA Super Mario World 2) is a fantastic game. Possibly the best graphics on a 16-bit console, innovative gameplay, challenging, an extremely irritating baby Mario you will want to kill at some points even if it costs you a continue...
- Sk8SkaNJ, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5I've sort of just expected to never see another good James Bond game released at this point.
- opnickc, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5I thought all of the VC games were too expensive, then I got an xbox 360. Good lord! $10 is the low end for marketplace games!
I think all of these companies need to realize consumers don't like spending so much on something completely intangible that they can't even keep after their consoles break/gets replaced/whatever. - ekin09, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5Maybe, they are unsure if they are good numbers or not... Nintendo is still rather new to the Online Marketplace, I am sure prices will fluctuate.
- opnickc, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5You sound like the person who says they always used to play FZero multiplayer, even though FZero never had multiplayer.
Memories can be more deceiving than you'd expect. Let this be a wakeup call. - bloaded, on 11/29/2007, -2/+7aahh Pokemon Snap....very underrated game and looked over simply because of the involvement of pokemon. a little bit short but worth the 10 bucks i say.
- inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5amen to that
- Matt2k, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5You can always tell how old a kid is when they say something like this. IE "Only a X-year old would say something like that" -- Just add 5 years to the age they quote. So that places you at around.. 15. Am I getting close, old man?
- ri59, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4You'll realize once you get past puberty that being "free" is not always as it seems.
- inactive, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5Well this is right up Nintendo's alley. They've been recycling games for decades now.
- Matt2k, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4Funny you say that. When I was a kid, I must have had some surreal dream about playing F-Zero multiplayer because I ended up spending about a half hour trying to do it again one afternoon. I even called Nintendo to confirm it was single player only. _I was so sure I had done it_
- sauvaget, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5ah... ignorance
- fognozzle, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4F that, I play my original NES. That's the best controller.
- shellnet, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5I downloaded Donkey Kong Country(still fun) and Zelda: Ocarina of Time (one of the best games EVER!)
- AshamedAmerican, on 11/29/2007, -2/+6I miss Pilotwings 64, they need to VC that too.
- KingGoonie, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4the first pilotwings too
- enicholas, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3It was an incoherent, stream-of-consciousness mess.
- Supernova36, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4So does Halo 3 and I'm pretty sure that has dual analogue..
- inactive, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4cry all you want guys but nintendo started the whole restrict licensing of games to 1 console with the nes. So if microsoft decide to hold back on them, meh.
- droversoul, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Take them all. Problem solved.
- schoate09, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Goldeneye>Free Space
- triblinator, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3They'll put it on there just before Brawl comes out like they've done with other big franchises.
- grodrigu, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Where's the original Contra, and bring back the Ultimate Cheat Code. 30 lives for all.
- inactive, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4Only a ripoff if you don't ever plan on buying any SNES games from the VC. Don't get me wrong, that's totally lame if you don't, but if you do, I think it's best just to suck it up and get the VC controller anyway, because trying to play SNES games with a Gamecube controller is a bitch.
- Septimus, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4This is due to ***** all else being worth buying for the system. I play way more VC than anything else on Wii.
- Familyguykiller, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4So 33million in the bank for doing well not much at all....They should lower the prices to about 3 for news and 5 for snes and 7 for n64 but they wont that what keeps me from buying lots of them.
