If it sells in good quantities the price is of course justified and at least if you buy the collection you can then legitimately run an emulator on pc and play the games at 4k or with 3D graphics. Yes simple graphics like this still look good on 3D tv's.

I certainly wouldn't pay this mainly because its not the type of games I enjoy anyway.

I do wonder how much of a cashcow the Switch can be before its library of old overpriced games becomes hugely negative and a reason not to buy the console. I'm old enough to remember when new consoles got new games that hadn't been seen before. Not just one title but 4 or 5 with launch and then regular new games every month. Even if they were multiformat they were pretty much released at the same time on different formats. As a potential Switch buyer I can honestly say there are 0 games at the moment I would want to own and only Mario Odyssey on the horizon as a potential desirable title for me. Never before have I had so little desire to buy a Nintendo console. This announcement makes me feel so out of touch with current Nintendo fans. Sales figures will show if this is popular but it looks near enough impossible to be unprofitable. I wonder how small the cartridge will be in capacity. 1GB seems about 8x bigger than required even allowing for the emulator files.
