I have to imagine a lot of people who want that game are gamers who really just want to play it. The Pokémon and Dragon Quest games from the DS era are still super expensive on the used market, but I am willing to bet that if those games were playable on Switch and other systems, that the price.īottom line, there will be that off game that is worth a lot more, but most games (like 99%) will not reach triple digits.I'm pretty sure it will drop the price of Earthbound by at least $30-40. There is a good chance that we will see the "nostalgia boost" in 10-15 years time, but again, if games are still playable on future hardware eshops, it would be that big. I'd imagine that Nintendo could offer a free download of Earthbound to every Switch owner, and the price of the SNES cartridges would stay up. It doesn't have a super low print run, but it being a cult classic helps push up the price. Earthbound is a good example of that, although it is an outlier as well. There is still a market for collectors and and some games continue to remain high, even though they are accessible today. Don't believe me? Just look at Super Mario Sunshine prices before and after it was released on the Switch.
If games like Pikmin 1 & 2, Melee, and Double Dash came out on the Switch, you better believe that their prices will drop. Most of the popular games not named Mario or Zelda are still locked on that system. Some games with super limited print runs will probably be worth a pretty penny one day, but I don't think it will be nearly as wide-spread as you see with other systems.Ī big reason why retro games are so expensive today is that they are not accessible on modern platforms.
