This is nothing short of insulting. 1-2$ is what the games should cost to _begin_ with! These games are 10-20 years old, digital and cost nothing for Nintendo to sell in terms of development and overhead (due to the nature of digital goods). They should learn something about price elasticity and going for volume when selling digital goods.
Also, to force people to repurchase things they've already bought is a HUGE slap in the face to those loyal fans that actually bought many Virtual Console-titles on the Wii for those exorbiant prices. Pleeeeeaasseee Nintendo come into the digital age with the rest of us!
This is how it should work:
Games should be 1, 2 and 3$ for nes, snes and N64-games respectively (or just 1$ for the lot). As opposed to physical copies, there are no additional costs for Nintendo if they sell 100 digital copies or 1,000,000 digital copies, so they should take a cue from games such as Angry Birds and go for huge volumes instead of low high-cost volumes. Making the games cheaper would enable people to buy in impulse more, and I personally would feel less ripped off paying for games that are VERY old by now.
Games should be playable on all compatible Nintendo-machines. If I've bought Megaman 2 on my Wii I Thereshould be able to play it on my 3DS and Wii U as well with no problems.
