    Theres something Ive been thinking about , the prices on the wii/dsi shps ( the wii shop in paticular ) seem mind blowingly over priced - theres games that are utter shite that get priced at about 1,500 points a 2000 points card at 20.00 , some of these games would be perfect with a lower price but companys seem to want to try and charge the most , if it was cheaper then it could sell better .
    so , do you think wii ware titles are over priced ?

    I didn't vote... I wish there was another option like somewhat. I agree some games that do not deserve such a price, have them, but there are a lot of other great games at the right prices too.

    The Shop is (hopefully) temporarily down, sorry guys.

    I haven't bought anything from the Shopping Channel in a really long time. Personally, I think some Wii Ware titles offer very little playability and are somewhat overpriced.

    I think the Wii ware titles can be over priced, but the dsi ware titles are cheap and entertaining. As long as you buy games like Super Metroid that have proven to be good games on other consoles, its safe spending the money.

    I found quite the opposite on dsi ware , though there are some classics ( starship patrol , reflect missile both 500 ) there was a large mass of over priced things such as a reskinned version of snake , and naughts and crosses ( also known as ti tac toe in some places ) once again both with the 500 price tag .

    They should have been more like Apple's app store, and sold games for 100-200 points. That way you could buy at least 20 of their damn time-wasting games that they offer :l

    the thing is there trying to get the most out of you , if they had them cheaper its possible to get more profit when its cheaper .

    The only thing I even play off Wii Ware is Cave Story.
    The only other games that are worthwhile are Lost Winds, World of Goo and Super Meat Boy. Paying 1500 points for anything else is a waste of money.

    I dont think that anything should be priced 1,500 , 1,000 should be max , and cant we just ditch the stupid point system and use proper money like apple and sony ?

    As Ive found out , the 3ds will have a demo service in the shop , aswell as recommendations from people who have played it , helping you aviod the more dodgy priced games , maybe thety could start something along those lines for the wii shop ( no point upgrading dsi shop now ) .

    But , it would look like the points system is staying ....
    are the gmes so badly priced when it comes to real money that its hidden behind a few calculations ?

    Wiiware games are overpriced mostly. :coin: That's why I stick with VC. Some DSiware games suck! Shante is a good fair game but some like to just rip you off. Who even wants Clock or Calculator?! You should be able to get that for free!

    I agree. Some of the games are overpriced. Example; cave story is 1200 points ($12), but you can get it online for free. I know the Wii Ware title was improved, but...I think 500 (800 at the most) points is a more appropriate price.

    I love my Avatar, it was done by AoL.
    I think Wii Ware and Ds Ware are totally overpriced.
    And for that reason I don't use the Wii Ware shop, I just go out and buy the games I want in local stores.

    Well I don't have an Nintendo DSi so I don't know about the pricing of the DSiWare games, but for some WiiWare games I think they are overpriced. Some are fairly short and should be at like 1,000 points and not higher than that. If only Nintendo still had their WW demo service still up, that way people could try these games out without having to pay that much.
