Why are people acting like this is a bad value? One, you can not buy these on the VC. Second, the soundtrack sounds like it will be worth more than $10.
Kytim and Jonny, how is $30 full price? A standard Wii game is $50. The game be 2,500 Yen (which is about $29.70).
Even if this is just the first version of SMAS, it would cost $20 to buy the plain VC versions. Here you get the SNES re-makes (which had vastly superior graphics, better sound, built-in save features, and fixed glitches), plus a soundtrack CD that spans the last 25 years of Mario, and a booklet, for just $10 more. This is easily a great value. Killer Man, there are four games in SMAS or five in the re-release (Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3).
Even if Nintendo only charged $1 premium per game on VC, that would still add up to $24. You don't think the booklet and CD (plus convenience of not needing to waste space on the menu) are worth $6?
