$50 for Mario Bros Duck Hunt combo cart. Little Samson? Eh, $10. They found a warehouse full of them in 2021.

Gaming in the year 2066 will consist of holograms in your house that you interact with like droids in the first person. You literally play the main role in your own living room and holograms build a virtual gaming reality around you. You become the game. The world will most likely be in the rebuilding process after some sort of world war.  At the going rate by then Smash Melee will be anywhere from $2,409,209 to $3,490,023.90. Considering it was 40 last year and is 70 now. Inflation will grow rapidly.  And a CIB copy of EarthBound will literally be transported in an armored truck to fort knox where it will be guarded for the rest of its life by navy seals. Resellers will drive the prices to the moon. 50 years from now Wii U will be old and retro and Atari 2600 will be a dinosaur fossil that the children laugh at as they send text messages via brain waves. Realistically retro video games will be cherished by us old men and the modern kids in the year 2066 might take up collecting things they grew up with like wii u and xbox one. Those will be extremely retro by then. I assume the prices will either plummet because all of us that cared died by then, or they will sky rocket because they will get much more limited. It all depends on weather or not the next generation cares about them. That's why If I have a youngin I am going to raise him on the classics. The roots. so he will always appreciate the fundamentals no matter what fancy virtual reality immersive technology he has by the time he gets older lol.

What if we go extinct and aliens discover the planet. And they find the fossilized copies of E.T for Atari 2600 buried in the ground. they might think that passed for worthwhile entertainment on this planet. The horror :O

Based from your older posts I've seen, I seriously have no idea if you're joking or serious. In 50 years the high end price of Smash Melee will increase almost 6 million percent? ??? I don't know much about economics, but I dunno about that haha
