"What're you buyin'? What're you sellin'?"http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/41868/resident-evil-4-wii-edition-launching-in-north-america-thursdayFollowing its European release in October, Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition will be shooting up North American Virtual Console this week.The 2007 re-release includes all of the content from the 2005 PlayStation 2 port of the most infamous member of the Capcom 5, in addition to supporting pointer controls for aiming. The game will launch at standard Wii download pricing: $19.99 US, $24.99 Canadian.

Great game, and still worth the asking price in many ways... but a curious release given how cheap and easily available the Wii disc still is. The pricing for RE4 is even worse than Zack & Wiki in this regard.


Not trying to be negative, but I was really hoping to see more rare and/or expensive Wii games get released digitally.  Fire Emblem comes to mind, or games like Xenoblade (in North America), Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, and Skyward Sword.

I really loved this game.  I wish there had been more of it on the Wii.  Perfect use of pointer controls, and the waggle was only during QTEs, IIRC.

Why are you again saying Zack & Wiki is cheap to find? Physical copies of the games are usually at LEAST $45. So the best option to getting the game is the eShop version because it will be less than half of what you would have to pay for a physical copy. One of the reasons Zack & Wiki is so expensive is because it's pretty rare (it bombed in sales).

Where are you located?


I'm saying it again because, as was shown last time with actual links, the pricing from either eBay.com or Amazon.com has consistently been MUCH lower than the $45 you suggest.  It's trending at $12 on eBay.com, with prices as low as $6.50 on Amazon.com right now.


Perhaps you are only looking at new, sealed copies that are being listed for crazy "collector" prices instead of accepting used copies. That wasn't part of the original argument though.
