/vr/ - Retro Games

Theres probably one thing that is keeping the prices high and thats Nintendos brand loyalty. Nintendo is probably going to go the way of Disney in our far future, so Mario and Co. will never die in the public cultural zeitgeist. Mario will be there when your grandchildren are still alive, so the original games will probably still be worth a pretty penny, especially as cartridges start to corrode or fail or otherwise get destroyed with the steady passage of time. $1000 on a collection now is probably a $10,000 collection in 20 years maybe.

Of course that isnt a monstrous return for you investor types, but for a collector its better to jump on the boat now than later.
