I thought master system games were gonna be 400 wii points

[shroomrobo]

but the latest 2 were 500 points, was the 400 points thing a april fools joke?

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Misinterpretation of the Sega press release, I think.

[kelvingreen]

Yes, I believe it was a misunderstood press release that led to the confusion. Still, I don't see any reason why MS games should be less than NES games.

[Ragnor]

The SMS was more powerful than the NES, so it doesn't make sense to have 400 point SMS games.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

The SMS was more powerful than the NES, so it doesn't make sense to have 400 point SMS games.

Unless you realize that price is not determined solely by power.

[kelvingreen]

Indeed not, but all these cries of "I should only pay 400pts because I've never heard of it" don't wash, either.

[Angelic Lapras King]

Bah, its only 100 points difference. Its hardly going to cause Sega fans to raid the Sega HQs...

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Indeed not, but all these cries of "I should only pay 400pts because I've never heard of it" don't wash, either.

I think people are only crying about the 400 point thing because they only expected to have to pay 400 (that's what was allegedly "announced" after all!). If everyone expected 500 points all along, I don't think anyone would make a fuss. I don't really care—I had a Master System, and I know a few games that would be worth 500 and a few games that wouldn't (just like the pricing on any VC system).

[kelvingreen]

Oh I understand that, and it's a bit of a gaffe from whoever put together that press release, but there are people, on this forum and elsewhere, who are moaning about paying 500pts for Master System games purely because they've never heard of the system. I have sympathy for those who feel that they were misled by that 400pt press release, but not much for the others. ;)

Oh really? Then why is 500 points the bottom limit with the 8 bit consoles, and the C64 which most say should be less than 500, the 8 bit/16 bit hybrid TG at 600, 800 for TGCD and 16 bit, the Neo Geo which is more powerful than the 16 bot consoles at 900, and the N64 at 1000? That's clearly priced by power :p

I said "price is not determined solely by power."

[Knuckles-san]

I agree, look at the C64

[Ragnor]

Which is why I said "500 points seems to be the bottom limit"

[Turbo D]

I was cheezed off because I only had 400 points left, I thought I'd be able to use them to get Wonderboy.

:mad:

Well, hey, not all the NES games are 500 points, now are they? And maybe just the first couple games on the Master are gonna be 500. It's highly possible the rest could be cheaper.

Yes all NES games are 500 points. Not inc. the Imports.

Umm... What?

[Relavant Latrommi]

Who cares whether it's 400 points or not?

Just enjoy a little bit of love from how the Europeans gamed back in the 80's!!

[stardust]

If 16 bit was sposed to be 800 points, then why are the Genisis games 600 in Japan???

C64 games really are deserving of 400 points. If they ever should decide release the Atari 2600 (solid color rectangles for sprites, yuk), then they should make those 100-200 points b/c those games are worthless...
