Virtual Console titles a virtual bargain [Update]
One of the biggest concerns outside of what kind of content we would be seeing on the Virtual Console was just how much that content would cost the gamer. Well, Iwata has finally revealed the pricing and you'll be able to download these titles onto the Wii for less than $10 US. Pricing titles at ¥500 and ¥1,000, or $4.50 and $8.99 US, makes these games very affordable, and should bring more profits than the classic NES releases we saw hit the GBA for $19.99 US a pop.
In offering product at a very close price to what the average game download on Microsoft's Xbox Live service is costing, Nintendo could very well dominate the downloadable market if they release more games on their service than the competition, something very possible thanks to the help of Sega and Hudson.
[Thanks Spambot!]
[Update: It appears the pricing here is for NEW GAMES, not Virtual Console titles. We blame less-than-perfect translation software online and beg for your forgiveness.]
