from wikipedia:

The Virtual Console is an online service, similar to Xbox Live Arcade, that allows users to download games not only for the NES, Super NES, and Nintendo 64, but also Sega's Genesis/Mega Drive and NEC's TurboGrafx-16 systems. Recently, Nintendo of Japan posted on its Virtual Console webpage that games from the MSX home computer will be available as well.[17] In a financial report issued by the publisher Tecmo, it was stated that the company promised to support the Virtual Console "aggressively", however, no further specifics were mentioned.[25] Nintendo has also stated that this service "...will be home to new games conceived by indie developers whose creativity is larger than their budgets."[1]

In Japan, Satoru Iwata confirmed Famicom games would cost JP¥500, Super Famicom games JP¥800, and Nintendo 64 games JP¥1,000. (approx. €4 to €8 including VAT, c.2006).[26] In a presentation in Spain, it was mentioned that Nintendo of Spain was considering a pre-paid card option for its Virtual Console purchases.[25]

At Nintendo's September 14th Press conference, the prices for the US were confirmed at $5 for NES games, $8 for Super NES games, and $10 for Nintendo 64 games. Approximately 30 games will be released though the Virtual Console between the console's launch and the end of the calendar year, with 10 additional games being released every month after that for at least the next year.[citation needed]
