Goron_3 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks for the non explanation. They're only charging more because they knew it would sell like wildfire. Not a nice way to treat your customers. They are a business, what do you expect? If they sold it for less the would be bloody stupid.
Tamazoid Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 People are still complaining about the price? Weren't games that didn't have a PAL release sold at a premium price during the Wii days? I swear Ogre Battle 64 costs more than other 64 virtual console games. There's nothing new here, the people that are complaining about the price have probably already downloaded the rom years ago anyway. If you aren't happy with the price don't buy the product, that's how our capitalist society operates.
S.C.G Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Thanks for the non explanation. They're only charging more because they knew it would sell like wildfire. Not a nice way to treat your customers. Yes... because charging £6.99 for a digital version of a game that regularly sells for £250+ boxed is such a rip-off! Why aren't you just happy that it finally got a release in Europe? Personally I'm overjoyed and I even own an original copy of Earthbound but still picked up this VC release without question. That reminds me, I must dig out my players guide for this.
Dcubed Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 People who were complaining, asking for variable prices on VC games that reflect their value... You got your wish :p
are1981 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 So Earthbound cost more... But look, Game & Wario was a 'budget title'! How about Pikmin 3? Isn't that one less expensive than usual too? Now I just hope short and simple VC titles eventually will be 'budget' priced too -- Dr Mario, for example, should cost EUR 2.50 instead of around 5-6.
Dog-amoto Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 That's absolutely incredible. I've been looking for hands on training for ages, but I was worried that I had no previous experience. This solves everything!
Serebii Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 https://miiverse.nintendo.net/titles/14866558073047417453/14866558073053591004 This new community raises an eyebrow. Now why would they make an announcement community for a game that has been out for 20 years
-Dem0- Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Perhaps they're just going to offer general tips and advice through this? Maybe they're planning something else to do with the series as a whole?
S.C.G Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Well here it is, N-Europe's review of Earthbound! Click the banner and enjoy.
Dcubed Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Finally! It has moved up again! It's jumped from 7th to 5th on the UK all time eShop charts! (the previous 6th and 5th place must've been really close!) Now nipping at the heels of Little Inferno...
Andyliini Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Bit off-topic but I'm surprised Little Inferno has so much sales. Never believed a game like that could sell so well. Reminds me of Fireplace DVD.
