I'm happy for Vs. Super Mario Bros, at last on consoles!

VS Excitebike, VS Urban Champion and VS Wrecking Crew were also confirmed in Famitsu last week, I believe

For clarification: are these the 'free' games that we'll get when Nintendo start charging for their online services?

$8... pass.
No, these are actually published by Hamster as part of their Arcade Archives series.

I feel obligated (as a life-long Nintendo fan) to buy these even though I don't really have any interest in actually playing them -_-

Alright, cool. So we can hope they'll be something different? I was under the impression Nintendo might just reduce the price of these in the store and make these the free titles for their online.
No. Remember that these titles in this thread are for the arcade versions, not the NES versions.

lol $8? Weren't NES games for Wii only $5? Seems a little steep for arcade titles.
Remember, not Super Punchout From the SNES, but arcade Punch Out.
Also, cool flyer.

Yeah, Mario Bros can be fun with two people, but yeah.. DK should have launched this. Nintendo should just buy out the company who has some of the DK rights or something.
Just do it Nintendo!
ARCADE super punchout
Ah yes. Very good.
Which version will be the Arcade Archive release?

Yeah, less than the cost of an average lunch in NYC.
These are also priced the same as Hamster's other ACA releases on the Switch. Unless they start suddenly charging more for NES games I don't see the problem here?
Woah ahah, the Mario art from this era is always off model in the most fascinating ways. You'll never see a goomba or koopa that grotesque these days
probably the one you posted... at least at first

Man, I really hope Super Punch Out will come in the future, along with arcade DK, DKjr and Popeye.
Definitely getting Punch-Out!!! Been waiting over 30 years to get the real Punch-Out at home, instead of the pale NES imitation.

I live in Chicago so that might be why our expectations differ...
It's hard for me to say yes at that price. Maybe I will pick up one or two titles only...

Need vs duck hunt with a gyro aim or something 
For Vs. Wrecking Crew, the 1984 Japanese arcade flyer had two nondescript heroes.
Then Nintendo decided to change the heroes To Mario & Luigi.

I'm really not interested in paying for any "classic" Nintendo arcade games. I really think Nintendo took off as a game developer after Super Mario Bros.
However, if they wanted to port their more recent arcade games like Mario Kart Arcade GP, F-Zero AX, Luigi's Mansion Arcade or Cruis'n Blast, I'm all over that!

I really want original Donkey Kong
71 mb for Mario Bros?
I don't think anyone would deny that Super Mario Bros was a major turning point for Nintendo and video games in general. But the classic arcade games are still enjoyable to play.

DOesnt mean I cant like the price. VC titles are overpriced, this is overpriced. I would love to have it but Im not spending 8 dollars. I spent 8dollars and got a ton of games just the other day. The value proposition is not there for me.
My local Barcade has this game. It also has Punchout (which seems way WAY harder than the NES version as I could barely play it).
You're going to be waiting for a while...
I'm happy regular ACA are finally Switch bound but I wish more than just Nintendo had been announced. I still want stuff like Bubble Bobble and Gradius.
From a quick googling their market cap is around $100m USD and Toshiba is their largest shareholder with a 20% stake. They mainly develop, supply and service broadcast equipment though so not much crossover with Nintendo's businesses. Also there might still be bad blood on a corporate level.

I really cant beleive this arcade archives isnt one package. Why are they selling these games separately?
I was extremely disappointed to see this.
Its actually put me off even bothering £6 per game not worth it

Bahaha ace! Thanks for posting these, they're fascinating. Remarkably strange on the Japanese flyer as they're pretty clearly Mario + Luigi in game.
...looking at the US flyer...is Luigi doing a Kool-Aid Man there? ._.

Every Arcade Archives release from Hamster is $7.99

Ok, they are bigger than I thought. But still, surely Nintendo could at least try and buy out the rest of the rights. Surely after this much time it'd be doable.

That's fair enough, and of course value is subjective.
I mean, there's no way in hell I'd pay $7.99 for Vs Pinball. But to play classic MB, SMB, Punchout on my Switch on the go? Yeah, for me that's worth it for less than the price of lunch here in NYC.
Do I wish they were cheaper? Yeah of course, but it's not that outrageous IMO.

$8 for Mario Bros?
I wish folks weren't willing to pay this ripoff price. Then maybe Nintendo would stop with this bullshit.
Yeah I was about to say even 8$ is too much for that I'd pay 2.50 for it max. I thought 8.99 was actually the price of all of them together. Which I don't understand why these are't bundled.
