Game collections discs are different than a system that has a game collection on it. Emulators and using pirated games shouldn't be considered in a price of a system. If not every game should be near free with the limitless amount of ways to get pirated games even for today's hardware, although those systems will get banned really fast.

This is both a collectors piece, as well as nostalgia piece using classic looking SNES controllers with updated components to easily connect to the hd screens of today. The reason why a cap was put on the amount of games in the SNES classic is because it has many third party games that require licenses and in some cases still go for a bit of change even in digital form (Secret of Mana on Mobile is $15 for example). It's easy for a Capcom and/or Sega to release huge collections because in most cases they are the publisher/developer of the games that were featured meaning they likely don't need to pay a license for most if not all the games features in their collections.
