Agreed on all points, sin2beta. A comparison could be made that $4 isn't a lot of money, but for a pack of M&Ms, it's insane. |

Yeah, it'd be nice to buy NES & SNES games at those prices. But when those prices were listed (in the 90s), that was just last-gen for then. And we can get last-gen games at those kind of prices right now. PS2, Xbox, and GameCube games are dirt-freaking cheap at the moment. That's something that's always been a trend in gaming. I'm just saying that NES games really aren't as bad as people are making it in this thread. I mean it's not like Saturn, TurboGrafx-16, Sega CD, or SNES games. Those are the wallet-killers to collect for. |

The cheap prices we are used to for NES are not around for really anything any longer. You can't buy a comic book for under $3 now. You can't buy a pack of gum for less than a $1. Yet somehow NES games are supposed to stay $3 for a common game? As minimum wage raises across the country (a lot of states already have laws in place that minimum wage goes up every year) your cost of goods will continue to rise. The more people make the more things cost - simple economics. It is what will always keep the poor poor and the rich rich. |

The Game X Change in Tulsa used to have stacks of those. Dragon Warrior is a $2 game. --- End quote --- The local game store near me is way overpriced as well. SMB3 sells for $25. Tecmo Super Bowl is $30 or something. Any Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania (you know the big series) are marked up to an insane premium. It is ridiculous and the price gouging is usually just the Nintendo games. They also put weird prices on foreign games, especially they sell Derby Stallion 96 with no memory pack for $10. Well they try, that one has been sitting in the display case for over a year now. ;D |
