Anyone else just feel like the e-shop is too damn expensive?
NWR_insanolord:
You probably hear less complaining about 3DS VC prices because it's been a while since there have been any games to complain about prices for.
TJ Spyke:
Yep, the Classic NES Series version of SMB on GBA sold over 500K copies at $20 a pop. So Nintendo made around $10 million on what was basically a straight port of a NES game.
NWR_insanolord:
It wasn't a straight port. It was an emulator and a ROM on a cartridge. And I bought at least three of them.
TJ Spyke:
Pretty much what I meant. IIRC, the only changes they made with the Classic NES Series was changing the resolution to fit the GBA screen.
Evan_B:
Well, I only have two 3D classics myself, and both were free... so I can't really complain about the price of them. Furthermore, I have twenty free games because I'm an ambassador, so again... I really don't have much to say about the pricing of the games. However, I've been pleased with the games that I have purchased from the eShop, like VVVVVV, Mighty Switch Force, Pushmo, and Mutant Mudds. Each title was definitely worth what I paid for them, especially when the prices were nowhere near a full-length game's price and still had a great amount of content. With Wayforward adding more levels to Mighty Switch Force, I feel that I'm really getting my money's worth- especially since I can buy four or five games and not reach the price of a full-length title. If anything, I think Nintendo needs to evaluate what they release as full-priced titles, because I got Sonic Generations and that certainly was not even worth the thirty bucks I payed for it.
TL;DR I think they're fine.
