I should have grabbed F-Zero when I had the chance.  Oh well, Punch Out is good, too.  And even a Super Metroid ROM is worth $0.30 many times over.  Thanks for the schedule.

It's a shame they aren't offering something like this for the 3DS. I would love to have Super Metroid on my 3DS, especially at that price.

I really think the 3DS should have Megadrive and Super Famicom games already!

I'll be getting Kirby for 30 Yen in 2 weeks.
Btw, right now they're offering Mother 2 in Japan for the same price. Cool, eh?  ;D

3DS definitely needs Super Famicom and Mega Drive.

Yeah I was going to say the same thing! Not fair!

I really don't understand the limitations on the games for the 3DS VC.  Hardware-wise, it should be perfectly capable of everything that came out on the Wii.  I wonder if the big N is having trouble getting partners to release their content on the new eShop.

It's worth pointing out that these cheap games still qualify for Club Nintendo points.  I think I got 10 for Punch-out!!'s survey.  I really wish I'd caught on to this sooner, as that's the first one I've gotten.

I think it is more a marketing/sales ploy to try and get people to buy both a 3DS and a Wii U. The 3DS , with it's dual-core ARM11 MPCore CPU (clocked somewhere between 800MHz ~ 1GHz) has more than enough power to emulate SNES and other games of a similar level.
