This game is THIRTY years old.
According to Nintendo, you should still be paying $5 for it.
Yeah and uncharted is shit and you spent 60$ on it ya goy
If people are willing to spend five bucks on it, they will keep selling it for five bucks
I'm sorry you dropped out of high school
>>319804198
It's a better value than some mobile app shit.
>>319804840
Cry me a river, you yakuza shmucks.
>>319804198
And then they expect us not to use emulators
Still better then a 10 year old translated novel with a well-known anime being charged $50.
Thanks Jewkai Project

But poor poor Nintendo will go bankrupt if you emulate games, anon! Won't anyone think of the jobs?
>>319805009
>In any other creative industry it wouldn't be
Uh huh. Netflix only works because it also has modern content; if they only had ancient movies and TV shows from before the 90s they'd have gone bankrupt ages ago.
Even EA was giving away decade old games for free.
E fucking A.
>>319804198
>All that content
>For five dollars
Shakespeare's works are hundreds of years old but you still have to buy the books. What's your point anon?
>>319805464
It's not worth 5 bucks, anon
>>319804198
Super Mario Bros. is classic. Also $5 is nothing unless you're entirely broke, it's the same price as a sub sandwich.
>>319805464
the physical books yes
the digital ebooks are free
It's honestly a better game than 95% of the shit that gets greenlit on steam
Is it even cross buy? Does Nintendo even know what cross buy is?
Meanwhile, this is $1.
>still able to emulate it for free
>still bitching that the company that made it is still selling their most well known game
>>319805426
>a trash company that would buy karma with dollars if it could gives away classics it has acquired and raped for free
What is context?
>>319804198
30 years old
They expect you to pay $5 for it
Then, if you upgraded to the new Wii U and want to use the new features that version of VC use, you have to pay another fee
And if you want to use it on your 3DS, that's a separate purchase of the exact same price.
>>319804198
Eh, it is a true classic. $5 ain't shit to somebody with a job. It's convenient you can just buy it, download and play on a modern console, no fuss, no googling.
>>319806113
Bethesda has given away their old games as well.
>>319804198
Nigger try paying 30+ for Criterion collection editions of movies older than that. Videogame fags can suck my dick.
>>319804198
well, seeing as it is the game that single handily saved the gaming industry, 5 dollars should be well enough.
This wine is THIRTY years old.
According to Winememories, you should still be paying £42 for it.
>>319806752
Yeah, $30 for an actual movie in a box. Not for a 40kb download.
>>319807018
If it didn't save the gaming industry, Fallout 4 would have saved it 30 years later.

You are equating file size to monetary value. Thats not how economics work.
We dont say 1 Gold bar is only worth 1 penny because they are both 1.
The value of something doesn't decrease just because figurative-but-deliberately-referred "crap" gets made cheaper.
Super Mario Bros. is a cultural icon and a lynchpin of this industry. You should be grateful to only have to pay $5 to own its license.
Personally I believe that Zelda 1 should still be at least a $20 game. Nonlinear games would still be playing footsie with the water if it weren't for it.
You wouldn't have GTA, or Saints Row, Batman, say goodbye to From Software as a company let alone their games, no MGS, no Just Cause, no Elder Scrolls... Fallout, Rage, Bully, and other sandbox/life simulator sucky games.
They all exist because SMB and the original Zelda fell to earth like extraterrestrials from 2085 Year of our Lord. SMB being of course, the first nonlinear video game ever made, with the Warp Pipes.
>>319804198
Nintendo's pricing structure is fucking retarded, and forever will be. They've even made a comment about why it's "okay" to artificially inflate their own prices.
>>319807075
Fuck you i came here to make this same joke/post.
>>319804198
And? Just because every other publisher devalues their product doesn't mean the smart ones should.
>>319807497
>Nintendo's pricing structure is fucking retarded
Whilst true, you chose the worst place to put that point forward. $5 for a triple a game that plays as well as newer versions of the same series?
Thats fantastic value for money, the only ones complaining are people who think that they should be entitled for everything to be free just because its old.
If you don't like it, then don't buy it you fucking rube.
>>319804198
Explain why this game is not worth $5.
>Not emulating
>>319804198
I don't have a problem paying for old digital entertainment, it's the issue brought up here
>>319806214
>Then, if you upgraded to the new Wii U and want to use the new features that version of VC use, you have to pay another fee
>And if you want to use it on your 3DS, that's a separate purchase of the exact same price.
It was excusable for the SNES and GB-GBA, because you had to actually pay for the cartridge, and they were remakes that improved the visuals and often added new features or content.
Nowadays, you're just paying to download an official ROM and run it a Nintendo-produced emulator. You shouldn't have to pay $5 for every system you want to play the same version of Mario or Metroid on.
They should copy what Sony does with it's PSN store for PS1 games: You pay for digital copy once, and you can then download and play it on any compatible device you own.
Or, if you think $5 is too steep (especially if you want to play all of their classic games), Nintendo could try a subscription based route for their older games. Like, $5 a month gives you access to all of their NES games, or whatever.
>>319804198
Its worth 5$. get over it.
>>319806016
For how long though?
Many sites have pulled their Nintendo ROMS due to legal threats from Nintendo.
>not being a nintendo 3DS ambassador
>>319808346
Complete console library torrents are not going away no matter how much Ninty kicks and screams.
What is with the turbo defense force in this thread? It's a ripoff. Get over it. Especially when you consider just how fucking huge emulators are nowadays.
It's 2 bucks at its best.
The last game I remember paying was Tomb Raider 2 in '98, I believe
>>319804198
The nintendo world champion cartridge is 25 years old and people still want you to pay 65,0000$
>>319804198
>implying its not worth $5
>implying its not one of the greatest games ever made and still is incredibly fun
holy shit, poorfag please leave
>>319805951
>Metal Slug 2
>Not X
What is with the turbo attack force in this thread? It's a bargain. Get over it. Especially when you consider just how fucking big of an icon Mario is.
It should be 60 bucks at least.
>>319804198
That's more reasonable than a new copy of Other M costing $50 at Walmart, let alone still being displayed behind the locked glass shelf.
Considering it's corporate heritage, I'm surprised they don't try to give it away constantly.
>in 30 years when WiiU emulators are far and widespread they'll still be selling Super Mario 3D World for $5
This movie is FORTY years old.
According to Sony Pictures you should be spending $25 for it.
>>319804198
I think 5 bucks for a good game is worth the price.
Though I'd get the modded SNES version instead.
Which can't be bought.
Also eShop games on WiiU have a shitty debrightness filter over them to protect your eyes or something, totally not worth it.
I'd pay 60 bucks for Mario 1, 2,3 and world combined if I could get actual level tools, not Mario Maker crap.
>>319805951
>all that forgettable shit
>>319810251
Just watched that movie, was for free on TV actually.
I didn't like the ending, it felt so rushed/forced. Also the mc was just fucking ignorant and contradicting himself.
>paying for TV
>still see ads and content disguised as ads
>>319811665
I'm sure there's a more retarded way to review Taxi Driver than what you just wrote, but I hope I never see it.
The value is derived from a scenario-based ratio of fiscal conservation (Nintendo's assessment of value in light of their great plethora of games that they need to stay afloat while making things inexpensive enough for consumers to rebuy) and demand, were there to be a solar EMP burst that causes most electronics in the world to get fried/lose stored software.
SMB would be among the best-sellers, with Ocarina of Time, FFVII, and RE2 if that happened.
$5 is how much Nintendo assumes the game would cost in that case.
When your shitty little zombie defense Steam Greenlight game revolutionizes the entire video game industry and is regarded as one of the greatest games ever created you can charge five bucks for it too.
>>319804198
Go slam your head in the nearest car door.

>tfw the cartridge size of SMB is 29 kilobytes

it makes me feel so... strange
>>319806652
Will Super Mario All-Stars be $5? That game has SMB 1-3 and Lost Levels!
>>319808367
bought that fucking thing 1 month before the price cut. 1 MONTH. At least i got free games

nintendo pricing is pants on head retarded and why I don't bother buying nintendo shit.
why should I pay $40 for two year old pokemon games? I get new AAA games for $30~ day one on PC.

Aren't all those games like 28$ on the VC combined?
>>319804198
disney does it with star wars
>this movie is 30 years old and walmart wants $5 for it
so download it
>everything should be free
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with piracy but acting like $5 is too much to ask for a game, especially one that people are clearly still willing to buy, is just ridiculous.
>>319814542
>Just Kazooie, Tooie, and Conker would be $30 plus tax on the old eshop for the wii
Eat a dick, Nintendo. I'm glad everyone hates you, and the NX is going to fail

>implying people who shitpost on /v/ have the brain capacity to even read books, much less Shakespeare
>>319814978
$5 is way too much for the original mario bros. I can get better games with 10x the content for $1 on my android phone
It's to filter out poorfags
>>319807075
Looks likeit's aged like wine
Turn up the brightness, Nintendo.
You did it for NES Remix, but all the NES VC games are too fucking dark.
>>319805464
You can find all of his works online for free, it makes sense that a physical book would cost money because of the production that went into it.
Mario bros. is literally just 1mb rom that Nintendo has floating in their servers locked behind a $5 jew wall
>>319804198
>Anon walks into a bookstore

So emulate it you fucking morons. Christ.
>>319815595
Maybe if Mario Bros was still selling as a cartridge you'd have a point, but they're charging $5 for a rom that you lose if you accidentally break your system
Nobody's going to pay $5-15 each for these rereleases of ancient games. If Nintendo wanted to make crazy money they'd offer a $10 monthly subscription for a Netflix type service for their entire back catalog of NES, SNES, GB and GBA games. Everything they have the rights to + whatever deals they can work out with 3rd parties, and you could play it all on either 3DS or your home console. Yeah emulators exist but even I'd still go for that for the convenience.
>>319811665
Partially the ending to Taxi Driver is a deconstruction of hero tropes from just before the vietnam war started raping american psyche. Basically the idea was that american filmakers gave up on the idea of there being right and wrong and even on the idea of heroes. Travis is a skinny twerp who is bad with women and who doesn't look very heroic. He's meant to be a deconstruction of heroes and the traditional role of men in America after a bunch of young men got raped in vietnam and then hated when they came home.
tl;dr he's supposed to be retarded, more or less.
>>319816541
How can you survive a war, if you're retarded though?
>>319815742
Amazon sells some translations for ~10$ digital so I still have a point.
Considering the only people who would buy virtual console games are people who bought a Wii U, I'm pretty sure Nintendo just cashes on idiots who have no idea how to spend their money properly.
>>319804840
>Capitalising Any Word Other Than the First Word of a Sentence in Any Language that Isn't German

And I am still willing to pay for a book that is 100+ years old.
Or a film.

>Not still owning your childhood NES and game cart

>>319817901
You captilize most words in a title, such as at the top of a newspaper article.
Each bolded, capitalized sentence there is treated as a title, it's not a continuous back-and-forth dialogue.
>>319818181
The actual game cart costs half the cost, that is the sad part.
