Wii Classic Games for under $10?

During a Japanese marketing event yesterday, Nintendo President Saturo Iwata revealed that games for the Nintendo Wii’s virtual console will be available for $4.50 to around $8.99 per game. The virtual game console will allow gamers to play older games from Nintendo consoles is expected to be one of the key selling points for the Wii console. The price of game downloads is aimed to be competitive with the Microsoft XBOX Live Arcade service, which charges users between $5 to $12.50 for Arcade titles.

This shouldn’t really be a surprise… nobody is going to pay more than $10 for an old game unless they are a huge fan. They are comparing it to the Xbox Arcade, but I hope to see Wii’s service have a far better selection.
