Do you think money grows off of trees? I knew you fools would buy this no matter what the price.

I just said no sale! I'm not going to pay $10 for any VC game, I don't care what it is. I'll just get the game... elsewhere. For a lot less. A lot.

Unless you plan to pirate, which I strongly advise against, you won't.  Used copies of just the cartridge go for upwards of $150.

Not just that but there is work, time, resources, and money put into porting over these games. They wouldn't just simply work on the hardware because it's a classic retro game. People need to keep this in mind too.

$10 is actually a decent price considering the title.  However, the price they set might be a sign of sorts.  Nintendo love foreboding (banana's in 2012 e3 Direct?)

10 dollars for a ROM dump.

 

Should be 5 at the most. Nintendo taking advantage of desperate Mother fans.

Regardless of how much the cartridges go for second hand its still too much for a digital download of such an old game.

Yes, they simply just took the rom and uploaded it to the eshop. Your ignorance is comical.

Yuck, 9.99 Euro.

Why are Dollar and Euro always priced the same?  At least the pricing for pounds is fine. Oh well, thanks but no thanks nintendo.
