Sega and Nintendo have teamed up to offer players a few holiday VC deals, announcing on Sega's UK blog that select Virtual Console titles will be discounted for a limited time. From December 24, 2009, until January 6, 2010, select titles will be reduced to 500 Wii Points each from down from 800 Wii Points.
Titles getting the 40% off treatment include such Genesis classics as ToeJam & Earl, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Gunstar Heroes, Puyo Puyo 2, Golden Axe, Shining Force and Streets of Rage. Also, for the lump of coal types, Sega has discounted the "admit it, it stinks" brawler, Altered Beast. It's a great offer for new Wii owners, or those looking to relive their lost youth.

i think this is a big deal, because isn't this the first time that any wii downloads have been discounted? this is a really good step, because it means its possible for more discounts in the future. download discounts are one of the biggest features for the Steam downloadable game platform on PC. if nintendo would allow some kind of deal every week, it has the possibility of drawing customers attention to those discounted games, and probably generating more sales.

I really hate the virtual console pricing, even at 500 points its too much money! You should get 3-5 games for that much. Why cant they just offer bundles? I mean even if its 2 good games and 1 crap, at least its 3 games!

The PSN deal is better IMHO, you get alot of these games in the Sega Genesis Collection for $10. http://blogs.sega.com/usa/2009/12/22/sega-mega-sale-40-price-drops-on-all-sega-psp-go-and-psn-titles/
