$8
(It's on VC already. Why throw away the money you could get from selling copies of it?)
Of course though, I agree -- this new era of micropayments and (over)paying for digital versions of old games is pretty annoying. I don't like it either. It's just that Nintendo doesn't miss many chances to make money, and this is one such chance, unfortunately. I agree, $30 for a re-release of a SNES game (with no changes) is annoying. At least they give it a little value by including that soundtrack and artbook, so it's not a complete ripoff, but it is annoying, yes.
