Re: "People Love This Stuff. It Just Means The Market Got Overheated" - How COVID Created A Retro Gaming Bubble

I'm one of those weirdos, that only buy the retro games that I like and wanna play, and couldn't care less about the value.
I miss the 00:s and early 10:s, when you could still buy PC Engine games at fair prices.
I also collected arcade games for a while.
It's insane how cheaply I could buy PCB:s of games like Final Fight and Truxton 2, back then, but then it got so damn expensive, I lost all interest in the hobby.

If I was filthy rich, and owned a videogame store, then I would sell original copies of games like Chrono Trigger and Earthbound, for $25, just to help burst the bubble, even if I lost money. 😂

If you read that whole comment on X, he says he wanna make sure that all the bugs are found and fixed before they make the MD cartridges, since those can't be updated afterwards, like the versions for modern systems.

I'm gonna buy both the Switch, and next year the cart, of this one. I hope it sells well, so he can continue to make more 16bit games, which is his goal.
