500 points? BAH! BAH I SAY!
Alright, so it's not that big a deal. Still, I thought it would be nice to see something cheaper than five dollars on the VC.

Aren't the first Wonder Boy and Adventure Island almost the same game?

I have some Wii Points burning a hole in my virtual pocket. I really loved Cruis'n USA in the arcades, but passed on the shoddy N64. I guess since all games of that era look relatively bad by today's standards, purchasing Cruis'n USA might be an easier pill to swallow now.

I would have bought Cruisin' USA had it came out earlier in the year. Right now my money is tight and school is getting harder. Maybe if no other games I want come out by summer I will buy this then.

Why on Earth release Cruis'n USA?? It's an atrocity in every way shape and form!
I'm patiently...ish waiting for Silicon Valley, Body Harvest, Majoras Mask and Pilotwings, maybe Mischief Makers too!

That extra dollar goes a long way if you happen to download a lot of VC games.

And that's being said with the assumption that all future SMS games will be $5

Starting at 400 points. Like how import games are an extra 100 and Sin & Punishment is America's current highest cost at 1200 points.

Thanks Nintendowiifanboy! after reading this, I went straight to my wii and downloaded Wonder Boy, it's the game I played for numerous hours when I was a kid.
Now to get rid of Adventure Island..Oh and those two game are the same, however, the gameplay might seem bit different. Different enemy placement (sometimes), and Wonder boy seem a bit faster and jumps lot higher.
I love this game, and the background music alone is so worth it.

I agree with you completely.
Havn't downloaded the game yet, as i think the music was better on C64, but might just be a bad video i saw of this one.
Love the music in this game. Totally worth 500 points.

Woah!
Two more games I won't be buying!! Neat-o!
Seriously, it would help with the whole "VC is a dying joke" and "VC is a huge waste of money" if Nintendo game us some games worth paying for(...again).
I understand that you can't please everyone, but can't they try to please SOMEONE? We're all looking for specific game titles, but all the more popular ones are the ones not being released.
