The Live version is better and cheaper!
Who knew Nintendo was such a cheeky monkey?
(edit: and all the turtles are Raphael! get the color scheme right next time, Konami!)
im defenetly getting starfox 64
From IGN about TMNT
Buyers should beware though, as the games come at a bit of a price - particularly when it comes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For starters, the game is not the NES version of the arcade game, which just recently released on Xbox Live. This is the tough-as-nails single player game that came first on NES, and it's a tough little title for unsuspecting gamers.

Is TMNT 500 or 600 points? I can't see why some sites have it listed as 600. And yes, tnmt is not the arcade game, and it's one tough game. I got it as a kid, never beat it.
It is indeed 600 points not 500 like other NES games because i just checked.
IGN said this about the price raise
As another oddity, the price for Turtles is listed at 600 points, rather than the usual 500 point mark for NES games. Is Nintendo trying its hand at a price raise, or did Konami need a little extra incentive to put the franchise on the system?

They better not be pulling this sh*t on the VC. $5 is already too much to be spending on NES games, let alone $8 for Sega and SNES games and $10 for N64 games. It's not like these are online enabled.
i really loved sf64, but i don't know how much i'll be able to get by 4/22-23 when d/ p and the ninty ds headsets come out. i don't want to go out and short myself now because i'm already about $20 short already, but i'd be able to get sonic with it if i got the points for star fox, plus i'd be able to get kid icarus. always wanted to try that one out. or r-type. i always liked that one too. oh WTH, i might as well just get the damn points so i don't have to wait almost another month to spend my money, no matter how much i need more than one ds game and more reasons to take off the mac address filter on our router. hopefully i can get in another job before that time comes. after d/p i have pbr to get, then i can wait all summer for more good wii games.

Stop balling!!
I decided to do a little price check. 1 VC game V.S. 1 Live game V.S. 1 real game
VC games-The VC has a rate of 100 point per dollar. You can a game for $10 and under.
Live games-Microsoft points cost $1.25 per 100. Games range from 400 points to 1200. There are 2 free games though. Most games are 800 with a hand full of 1200 and then some others are 400.
Real games-I found most eBay Star Fox games to be 10 or 12 dollars. I even found one that was 30. The Teenage mutant ninja turtles game on eBay was ranging from 40 to 25 dollars!!
So as you can see. Nintendo is not coming even close to riping you off! They are giving you a good deal when they put these prices up!
I am now done with my rant......
Starfox 64 was horrible imo.

I think you mean Nintendo points are 100 = $1
And Microsoft points are 100 = $1.25
Not just 1 point per dollar. 
Cool...starfox. Gotta get it soon as I get more points. (the Rooster makes a mental note to buy more Wii points)
The Star Fox team flies high on Virtual Console
Today Nintendo adds three classic games to the popular Wii video game system’s Wii Shop Channel. Nintendo adds new games to the channel every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week’s new games are:
Star Fox 64

Players take the controls of their Arwing and complete 15 missions to reach the final objective: a showdown on Venom, the home planet of the interplanetary tyrant, Andross. Throughout the adventure, players have to accomplish challenging objectives in order to reach and conquer every mission. Skim over the surface of an alien sea, weave through the concrete canyons of a futuristic metropolis or dodge planetoids the size of mountains. Between missions, players will be treated to real-time 3-D movies that progress the story of the Star Fox team of space mercenaries in their struggle against the evil ape emperor, Andross.

600 Wii Points
Cowabunga! Players take control of the turtles in a half shell and rescue reporter April O’Neil from the clutches of the evil Shredder. Battle against the Foot Ninja Clan as Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Raphael with their trademark weapons and ninja abilities. Search through five stages and dozens of areas throughout the New York City sewers, rooftops and ultimately Shredder’s Technodrome to save April. Players must scarf down some pizza to keep up their energy, as they’ll need it to defeat Shredder. Turtle Power!
Dragon's Curse
TurboGrafx-16
1 player
600 Wii Points
After defeating the Mecha Dragon in the depths of the Dragon Castle, the wounded beast casts a spell on the hero, turning him into an ugly creature. To return to human form, he must find the Salamander Cross, which can break any curse. This side-scrolling action role-playing game is nonlinear, allowing players to venture freely. Collect gold and items while upgrading equipment and powering up stats. The hero starts as Lizard-Man but, upon defeating the dragon bosses, is changed into other creatures such as Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Tiger-Man and Hawk-Man. Each creature possesses distinct abilities such as the ability to fly, swim, walk on ceilings or cling to walls. Players use each creature’s special skills to widen your search for the Salamander Cross and bring the hero back to his human form!
Go to the Wii Shop channel to download this game in addition to already available classics like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Gunstar Heroes, Sonic The Hedgehog, Bonk's Adventure, and Super Mario Bros.!
TMNT for the wiiiiiiiiin!
TMNT for 600.......wtf nintendo? The arcade game on Xbox live was only 4 or 5, and it's a better game. Don't be jocking us around.

Go to a game store, you can easily find it under $5. If they jack up this game by a dollar, what's stopping them from putting a $10 tag on Castlevania III or charging $20 for FFIII? After all, those would be bargains. I'm saying keep it consistent, the industry already puts the screws to gamers enough as it is.
Microtransactions on the 360 are the absolute devil when it comes to the industry. You pay $90 already for a game like guitar hero II, then they'll release songs at an additional $4-X dollars. You pay $60 for Marvel Ultimate Alliance, now it's an additional $5 or whatever for some added characters? I don't like where the industry heading. It's possible that soon we'll be buying games that resemble TV shows more than movies. We'll be paying $10-20 for a level rather than a game.
Move'd to the VC area.
Psssst. Sakura this is the VC REVIEWS section... X3
It was just a mistake. Sakura accidentaly moved it to the wrong section. It'll be fixed soon though. I hopes.
