Fantasy Zone and Wonder Boy are coming to the North American Virtual Console. They will be 400 points each.

I'm glad the Master System is priced down a bit, but I'll still be waiting for better games.

if the master system is more powerfull than the nes then why do they cost less

update I will get alex kid in a heartbeat if it costs 400 wii points

Only game I'm remotely interested in for the SMS is Double Dragon as it's the best version clostest to the arcade. other than that nahhhhh (might pick up a couple if I'm convinced)

Because the NES was hugenormously popular, so people will pay 500 without question. Fewer people have nostalgia for the SMS, so the lower price is a way of coaxing them to buy.

I'll admit, I wouldn't have any interest in paying 500 for a Master System game, but 400 might be enough to sway me. The problem is a lot Master System games are available on other consoles. I wonder if we'll be getting the Master System version of R-Type.

this is the solution of the 2 SNES/MD games dilemma I usually buy 2000 wii points cards, DL 2 SNES/MD games for 800 and you got 400 points left... thats what I was talkin about in the other post. in this situation I would consider a SMS game but not without much research and possible brief emu playing. now they need to solve those 100-300 points problem without nickel and diming us such as FF in wiiware!!

I usually save the spare change for when I add more points. I have 1700 now. Two SNES games with 100 left over. If I add another 1000, it's a NES and a TG16 game. Piece of cake.
