Retrovolve researches N64 cartridge MSRPs to remind readers how much those old games used to cost.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has set a new record by selling over 3 million units within 24 hours, tripling the PlayStation 4’s previous launch day sales.
Its crazy that it's both the highest selling console on day 1 and people can walk into a store and buy it with no pre order
Unlike the Switch 2 , the Playstation 4 was not sold on the same day in most regions.
Company skipped last year's event.
Not surprising at all.
I mean, they´ll be releasing a new console in a few weeks.
Nintendo has announced its financial results for the full fiscal year, alongside an update to Nintendo Switch shipments and more data, including a prediction for Switch 2 hardware and software.
well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.
so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them
Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.
Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
up here in Canada some N64 games were $99.99
I remember buying San Francisco Rush and it cost me like $115 after taxes.
A lot more than kids these days think.
tomb raider for ps1 cost me £44.99 t launch,
last of us ps3 cost me £38 at launch,
considering inflation that is a big reduction.
They were not cheap. I paid 69.99USD for Mario 64 when it released in 1996. Nintendo was stubborn about the use of CD-Roms but I think the N64 still had a quality selection of games despite the cartridge prices.
it's funny how people forget how expensive games were even before the ridiculous N64 prices, and games then took much less time to develop.
