Defend what?
Lots of people, myself included don't go online with their Wii, or don't buy digital games at all.
Kudos to Nitendo for thinking about the people who like discs.

I'm struggling to find a way to want this game. I love Kirby, but I dunno if I can pay that much just to play Dream Land 2 and 3, and Kirby 64 for the first time.
I already own Super Star Ultra, Kirby's Adventure (Wii VC version and 3D version), and Dream Land 1 is basically the Spring Breeze from Super Star if I'm not mistaken.
This is a wait and see.

New challenge stages like the ones in Return to Dreamland? And a few games that I have yet to pick up digitally?
At first I was not sure if want, but now I do want.

The packaging, man! The packaging! And the book! And the other crap!
I MUST HAVE IT ALL
also, I haven't bought any of these games on VC yet, so here's as good an excuse as any to finally get 'em.

No mention of the full-color art book that's included? What about the CD full of music spanning the series' history? You kind of missed out on the things that would sell it to fans like us in the first place.
I'm simultaneously super excited about this, and pissed that Nintendo totally fucked Mario over with his anniversary collection.

My Wii's online. That doesn't mean I'm going to buy digital games. I'd actually like to own what I pay money for, thank you very much.

considering nintendo is just now trying to figure out how to transfer games from wii to wii u, i'm quite happy with disc games.
I can't defend this either since I have multiple copies of these games (both digital and physical). That being said, DAY ONE PURCHASE!!!!!!
....I'm weak and bad with money.

Let's see... One Nintendo 64 game (100), two SNES games (160), one NES game (50), Two GameBoy games (60) and some extra content, with more control options than the original VC/eShop originals.
Those numbers are the price for the games if I were to buythem seperately, 370 SEK is the price I would need to pay. I'm guessing this collection will cost about 399 SEK since it's a collection and not a new game. I'd say it's worth it based on the fact I can play them all in one place with one control option.

@Sir Tobbii
Apart from die-hard Kirby fans, who's going to buy physical copies of these games? Look at the price of those being sold digitally and the price is considerably less.
But yes, having them all in one spot is very nice.

@Pedrovay: At least Mario got something, and I'm sure this got more precisely because with Mario they didn't do enough.
It's all better than what Metroid got... stupid commie bastards...

Let's look at the cost for buying them separately.
2 GB games: $8
1 NES game: $5
2 SNES games: $16
1 N64 game: $10
That's $39. This collection's price in Japan is 3,800 yen but Nintendo's American prices are always cheaper or a direct conversion so there's no way this will be priced above $40. The price for Super Mario's 25th Anniversary was $30 and you got even less content. Kirby is also nowhere near as popular as Mario so Nintendo wouldn't ask for much knowing their audience.
So $39 worth of games plus the soundtrack, booklet, and bonus mini-games (there's no way they would take those out) and it's well worth the asking price of $30-40. If you were to track down Kirby's Dream Land 3 as a physical cartridge that alone would set you back $20-30.

Obligatory point about anniversary collections and Nintendo: They didn't do it with Metroid. :(
Anyways, I feel strangely compelled to get this, but I won't, because I know it's not worth the price for games I already own, no matter how much extra stuff they pack in there. Nice try, though, Nintendo. Maybe a Metroid one I'd get, but Mario/Kirby, no (I make an exception for Zelda's anniversary because that was Skyward Sword, a completely new game, and an excellent one at that).

Actually, one of the games on here has only been online for Japan and Europe. We still haven't gotten Kirby's Dream Land 2...and it really makes me mad.
I really want to support this as a Kirby fan, but I can't. I'm glad it exists, though, for the people who do want it, but I've been buying up Kirby games from the virtual console almost as soon as they go up (with the exception of the first Kirby game, but I own the cart for that). Heck, I actually bought Kirby's Adventure a second time on the 3DS.
If only they were releasing this on 3DS instead...then I would actually consider getting it. Having all of those games portable? That would be amazing.

Believe it or not, some of us want to legitimately own our games. Not to mention the extras they're including with the physical release make this a better deal anyway.
...the fuck? I meant to say that Metroid is my favorite series, so yes, I was pissed about that, too. At least they released the Metroid Prime Trilogy disc, though, which is the single greatest gaming-related thing I've ever spent money on.
Is there a confirmed price for this collection? Will it be cheaper than buying all these games individually on VC? That's the main sticking point for me, anyhow.
@pedrovay2003 Totally agree, dude. Totally fucking agree. Kirby gets this amazing collection with new content on it and a specially made interactive timeline, Zelda got free games, a remake, a fucking symphony concert, and a whole game (Skyward Sword).
Sonic got a whole game too, and for his damn 10th anniversary. Mario got repackaged bullshit. Sure, you could argue Metroid and Donkey Kong didn't get anything, but they're not the mascot of a company that singlehandedly revitalized the industry.

I'm pretty stoked for this as the only game in this list I have is the 3D version of the first NES game. I was thinking of getting them all digitally, but this is better.
@MrSnufflepagus:
I'd argue that, even if Samus Aran isn't the mascot (which she was never intended to be), she changed the way games treated female protagonists. The reveal of Samus as a woman was (and still is) one of the biggest surprises ever in a video game. They could have done something to celebrate the 25th.

And what did Nintendo give us Metroid fans for the Metroid franchise's 25th anniversary? A big ol' pile of NOTHIN'.
You neglected to mention the new levels and Anthology type features. This seems to have more than enough new stuff and polish to justify its existence.
