I like how Sony can put PS1 classics on the Playstation Network for $6-10 with nothing improved and nobody bats an eye, but when one of the most expensive SNES games out there (that hasn't seen a North American release since its original release over 18 years ago) gets added to Nintendo's virtual console with added features (Miiverse support, restore points, off-TV play, gamepad-optimized version of the official strategy guide bundled with the original release of Earthbound available for free online [which Nintendo is also paying extra money to host said web domain]) for $10, and then suddenly

and then they complain it should be cheaper because they can get it illegally on the internet.

To be fair, PS1 games are more technologically advanced then SNES titles. Just as N64 games make sense to cost more than an SNES title, PS1 titles costing more than an SNES title does just the same.

Yeah I can't think of better wording for the life of me. Sorry. Hopefully you still get the point.

Also that .gif is perfect. Bookmarked for later use.

Edit: REALLY LATE EDIT. Just want to say that, no, I don't think that a game's original system determines value. There are numerous SNES games with more content than some on the N64/PS1. Just clearing that up ahead of time.

Well, yeah, I get that. But these people are acting as if "OMG THIS SHOULD BE FREE OR $1 WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU NINTENDO" when they're doing the exact same thing other companies are doing with their old games...except they're actually adding some form of improvements.
