    How are the prices unreasonable? It's cheaper than going to a secondhand shop, where old games cost an arm and a leg.
    British gamers get ripped off as usual anyway. 100 Wii points = £0.70/$1. £0.70 = $1.39. So y'know, it is cheaper to buy them through the Wii rather than the games second hand and slightly more legal than emulating them when you don't own the game, but I think the prices are quite a lot to pay really. And the fact that to buy the equivalent of a SNES game in Wii points US costs you $8, whereas in Britain it'd cost you upwards of $11 doesn't strike me as terribly great.

    Yeah.

    Then again, $11 still isn't much. I just wish they'd implement some of the games I like (SMBRPG, EarthBound, Final Fantasies I-VI, and where the hell are my Megaman games?! ;-; ).

    I suppose one advantage of being British is that you can at least buy Mega Man and Mega Man 2

    I know it's not a lot and I don't have a Wii myself, but it still strikes me as unfair that British gamers should have to pay more for the games on Virtual Console when they're already paying more for the console itself and games as far as I know.

    Since he's not answering can I take it and where can I buy it from you?
