Does the cost of points in the UK equate to their cost here, or do they cost comparably less money over there?

how much is that? 12 bucks? Because I'd buy it at that price. And I already own it.

Mario Kart 64 breaks contradictions like Chuck Norris breaks necks.

Mm, nope. Maybe you can find a previous post where I said that, but I don't remember thinking that way. I did, however, say the VC sucks in general.

Actually, since the games are optimized for higher-end TVs than their originals were, they look much better on my big-screen than they would if I were playing them using my older systems. Also, the VC has a fun feature that I never even heard about before I stumbled on it while playing Super Castlevania IV: When you pause the game and exit to the Wii menu, you can turn off the console and come back later and the game will still be paused in the same position it was in when you left! No more stupid passwords! Now if they'd just port Guardian Legend from the NES over...

I downloaded it today and I was mistaken. It's only 1000 points, the normal N64 price. Which is 7 quid.

yes 1200 points would be 12$ it is a penny per point. if you pay more then that you are paying to much.
