Its Impressive people still want to play 34 year old games on such a dated system. Even more so that they are willing to pay 140$ for it (which is hellva overpriced). Even more so when you consider today everything and anything is able to run emulated game versions just as well. |
Wasn't the NES Mini priced $60 at first though? So who raised the price? Nintendo or retailers?
And I think there's a lot of people who don't want to bother emulating because they think it's too hard or something, I don't know. Plus it's physical and looks cool.
Anyway, the way prices work is that you find a good balance between demand, supply and price. If customers are buying the NES en masse at $140 then you can't blame Nintendo for asking such a price.
The Snes Mini should be released at $100-150 if it ever comes out. This is a goldmine for Nintendo lol.
