Get hype!

And this is where my 30 dlrs from the promo goes to!

 

[Joqu]

Oh fuck I still have to change a few things about the OT

 

[Kouriozan]

Today? What?
NEED!

 

[EDarkness]

Gotta get some eShop money today.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

It's really 10 bucks?

Huh. That's a first for non-import SNES releases, isn't it?

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

bout time

 

[schuelma]

Amazing marketing Nintendo.

 

[zroid]

noon can't come soon enough

 

[Sendou]

10 bucks for a SNES game, no matter how classic, with no extra localization or anything like that is a robbery.

 

[LiK]

wait, really? dem marketing dollars

10 bucks for a SNES game, no matter how classic, with no extra localization or anything like that is a robbery.

Better than 100+ on eBay.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Well then, I think I know what I'll be getting once I get home.

 

[moolamb]

No way...

 

[JordanLMiller]

Finally!

 

[EktorPR]

OMG. YES!

 

[Mpl90]

Amazing marketing Nintendo.

What's strange is that there's no This week's download PR on their site, neither. Usually, they already posted it. Maybe, they want to do something...I don't know.

 

[CronoShot]

10 bucks? For a ROM dump? What a ripoff.

Spoiler

Minute one.

 

[sakipon]

10 bucks for a SNES game, no matter how classic, with no extra localization or anything like that is a robbery.

Whoa man. Whoa.

This is why we usually can't have nice things.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Amazing marketing Nintendo.

Seriously.

Nintendo continues to blow my mind with its incompetence. .

 

[Mael]

I really love Nintendo, once they'll just mail everyone bags of money and no one will ever know!

 

[SoulUnison]

Is it missing any music or refernces to copyrighted material?

 

[Javier]

Every Earthbound fan bought a Wii U.

Buying tomorrow when I get back home.

 

[frankie_baby]

It's really 10 bucks?

Huh. That's a first for non-import SNES releases, isn't it?

i'm actually surprised its that cheap

 

[vctor182]

They figured the fans will market the game so...

 

[Kacho]

Whoa great news. I'll be downloading it tonight for sure.

 

[ASTROID2]

Wasn't this supposed to come out in like December? I'm confused.

 

[gogojira]

Getting it, but not happy (this is what they assumed would happen, I'm sure). No extras, just a ROM dump and they're charging more because the can. Thanks for looking out for your fans.

 

[trixx]

Wow n64 games are probably going to cost 15 dollars a piece now. These guys have got to be kidding me, I mean its not like we own the console or anything

I'm still picking this up

 

[qizah]

Wow, out of no where. I'm okay with this.

 

[Sendou]

wait, really? dem marketing dollars



Better than 100+ on eBay.

Whoa man. Whoa.

This is why we usually can't have nice things.

I mean they just added extra 2 dollars on top of already expensive $8 just because they could. I'm having hard time justifying that.

How much did it cost when they released it in Japan earlier?

 

[epmode]

Should be on Wii as well, and playable on both with one payment but Nintendo.

Still, it's amazing that they finally, FINALLY re-released this game.

 

[Revolutionary]

9.99 for a SNES game hurts but... I've gotta get it.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

According to Amazon, a used copy of the SNES cart is $200, and a new copy is $6,000(?!)

 

[Impeccable]

A high price point will allow my physical copy to continue to collect value, success.

 

[joedick]

Seriously.

Nintendo continues to blow my mind with its incompetence. .

This game is mostly going to be bought by people like us. People who will read about it on a message board as soon as it goes up. What do you want, TV ads? They'll put up a press release and get free coverage from game sites. Maybe they'll have it at comic-con.

 

[Nemesis_]

Go and buy a physical copy then.

 

[Codeblue]

My day just got way better.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wow n64 games are probably going to cost 15 dollars a piece now. These guys have got to be kidding me, I mean its not like we own the console or anything

They do cost $15 a piece.

 

[granabanana]

Megaton!

 

[brandonh83]

Nintendo puts up game everyone wants, people bitch.

Yep, this is a Nintendo thread.

 

[Kouriozan]

Don't worry, you can still buy it.
Only 200$, jump on this offer!

 

[TheJollyCorner]

so that's a 'no' on the Wii VC?

 

[Frolow]

$10? Not that I mind too much, but I hope this isn't the start of a thread.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

That's the way it sounds to me. Unless there's an extra royalty tax added or something that we're not sure about?

Either way, I suppose it beats paying eBay prices for the cart. But still.

Tons of people in this thread will flame you for this, but I totally agree. The hype for an emulated Earthbound is dumb.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!! IT'S ON!!!!

I do not think he/she is asking for TV ads, but even here on a very popular enthusiast gamer forum, there was no knowledge that it was coming out today, not even a (OT) got made because nobody knew.

They could have at least put something on their site, it would get reported and tacked on a release date counter, you would have seen several topics about it and news sites would pick up on it
