          When the tears of the kingdom came out, some people complained it was too expensive (at least on R- ). Some hinted it could (would/did) lead to higher prices. In the end, sales did well enougb (I think). And so here we are. But also tarrifs.

        Cartridges cost a lot more to produce than cheap, plastic discs or modern, SD card-esque flash storage.

          Games in 1994 cost on average $60. That’s about $128 today. The cost of production of those games was at most a few dollars more in materials. Not nearly enough to explain the price difference. Games were simply more expensive then than they are now.
