How much would you pay for Super Mario Bros. 3? Chances are you paid full retail for it on NES and then maybe you paid $34.99 for it when it came out in October of 2003. How much would you pay to play it on your Wii?
Nintendo president Saturo Iwata addressed the Virtual Console pricing in a talk he gave in Japan. Games will cost between 500 and 1000 yen, this converts to between $4.50 and $8.99 for Virtual Console games over here. Those prices stay pretty competitive with Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade prices, which has gamers paying between $5 and $12 for Arcade titles.

Yes most people will just buy both it's not 1992 anymore.
Retro fans will buy both, families will probably end up with both eventually fans of specifically those two out of nostalgia have careers and enough income to buy both
I don't see a problem
Hardly competing. It's releasing on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and Xbox One, Wonder isn't.
Absolutely, but it certainly won't be because the 2 games released around the same time. Mario is more popular and typically the games are better.
"Hamster's Arcade Archives series offers no-frills versions of numerous classic arcade titles. On Switch, the lineup even includes several arcade games from Nintendo! The Arcade Archives Nintendo titles never go on sale, which makes the current sale super exciting. Co-op classics like Mario Bros. and Ice Climber and non-co-op games like Donkey Kong and Punch-Out! are currently on sale for 30 percent off, making it a great time to load up on Nintendo classics for Switch," says Co-Optimus.
In his newest 8-Bit Chronicles, Anthony gets into 1983's Mario Bros. Y'know, the arcade one. With the sewers?
Sold, However, how hard is it going to get hold of at launch date??
:-}
I have been thinking about a Wii to compliment my 360. The only concern I have is , will every single game use the Wiimote , or just a majority. I would really like if it had some games that you could use the standard controller for. Also what titles have been confirmed for the BC library , just first party titles? Or could I play Shadowgate from the NES?
most of the mario games are worth atleast $5. I would probably buy a lot of games from the library.
I'd buy TONS of games, I grew up on this thing man, I had the atari, than got this when I was like 6-7 and played the hell out of it, I still have like 20 games, just my machine doesn't work. $5 dollars to relive your childhood through games that have gameplay that was thought out is enough for me
awesome!
