ITT: People justifying their game purchases or flash carts.
>the only viable way to play retro games on original hardware will be flash carts?
If you're broke as fuck and if you're broke stop playing video games and go make some goddamn money. Recreation is more enjoyable when you earn it.
>something like an NES or SNES will be in the three-figure price range?
Sometimes it already is when it's CIB or sealed or whatever.

The fact of the matter is things change you guys. Lobster was peasant food until rich people found out about it, the same with our games. They are inherently good and people enjoy them. There is more of a demand than supply, so prices are gonna go up.
These fucking things went for like 40 - 100 bucks new, consoles going upwards to like 600, 800 bucks and you're upset Super Mario 3 is 20 bucks?
Like, get real you guys. If you think anything is popping soon than you don't think these games are worth anything besides nostalgia.
Much like first print LPs or books, were the audiophiles and library geeks that want that stuff. There will always be a niche for that. To say something like it will all move to flash carts is like saying in 100 years music libraries wouldn't bother with vinyls because they have digital recordings.
TL;DR: If you don't want to pay the prices, don't spend the money and if enough people don't buy it, the prices will drop. It's simple economics.
