Earthbound coming to Wii U Virtual Console today

@IanNottinghamX @HartPuncher I'd feel worse for them if they actually released games on their service in a timely fashion (or at all). Anyone who wanted to replay this game until now had to emulate or hope they still had their SNES kicking around

And then there's titles like Seiken Densetsu 3, which was never localized and is only playable in English via fan translated ROM

@IanNottinghamX @HartPuncher they know what the fans want they are just trying to sqeez nostalgia while they can.. the fans have had enough.

Ooooh, snap! You caught me! Yes, dumbass, that's why I used the word 'might'. We can't know without invoking parallel dimensions and alternate futures, hence the speculation (though digital sales trends in the other markets have shown that lowering prices can result in higher net sales - for the third time). I might also point out that your laughable $30 'probably would do great' figure was just as speculative, though completely baseless and pretty much pulled out of your ass.

But you're right about my opinion on pricing being irrelevant. Which is good, because I wasn't giving my opinion on what I think it should cost, I was pointing out that Nintendo might stand to gain more money overall by lowering the price (now, for the fourth time).

Comments are anecdotal at best, I suggested you look, in case you were unconvinced that not everyone is as excited as you to throw down as much money as possible on this. Also, I don't even know how to respond to this, so I'll just quote you:

"Basing your argument on internet forum comments is faulty logic, since the majority are based on complaining and hating to look hip."

You're either trolling, an idiot, or have never heard the word irony before. Me? I'm going with option B, but hey, you never know, right?

@kohle36 @dlCHIEF58

And YOUR opinion of how it should be priced is also irrelevant. Basing your argument on internet forum comments is faulty logic, since the majority are based on complaining and hating to look hip. You are also basing your argument for lower price on supposition ("it MIGHT have netted more overall at a lower price."). In other words, you have no idea.

@dlCHIEF58

I was using $0.99 to illustrate the point that seems to have flown whooshing over your head. It will sell copies at $10. It would sell a few at $30, and probably even a couple at a full $60 if they'd wanted to. However, it might have netted more overall at a lower price point.

How you feel about the game's value, or whether or not you think it's a 'bargain' is irrelevant. Looking through the comments, it seems Nintendo are pricing themselves out of a good number of sales.

@kohle36 @dlCHIEF58 @moistsandwich

There is a big difference between this game and a $0.99 game on a cell phone. $10 for a game this classic and comes with a hint guide/manual that is viewable on the tablet is a bargain. No need to devalue the game with impulse pricing as it will do great at it's current price point (and probably would have at a $30 price tag as well).

@b74kd3th

I could say the same about these remarks made by these entitled cheapskates that think they should get everything that is old for free. And I doubt you are even old enough to know what a record is.

@Celsius765 @HartPuncher "A new one" (a new Earthbound). Hate, because they just won't fucking make it! You didn't play it. So relax.

@IanNottinghamX @cantor2537

Yet a cartridge can easily set you back $1000 depending upon condition. You can't find an original copy of the game for less than a few hundred dollars.

@Celsius765 @fester420

True, and I bet Nintendo could have easily charged three times that amount and still sold a lot of copies to the true fans.
