| Is the Retro bubble bursting? |

By looking at trends on price charting, I get the impression that the retro bubble is bursting. I gathered price charts on a few premium games and 2016 seems the have been the peek. Maybe you'll agree, maybe not, but I think its a valid question to ask. If it did actually slightly burted, could we blame to overwhelming offer with the NES/SNES classic, new retro/8/16 bit games, etc... or is it our generation's the nostalgia fading off? I personally feel like I've completed the loop. I have all the games I want/need, and I'm not seaching or buying anymore (almost ;) ) SNES - Breath of Fire II SNES - Castlevania Dracula X SNES - Earthbound SNES - E.V.O. SNES - Secret of Mana SNES - Super Bomberman 2 N64- Super Smash Bros. |

Burst is the wrong word. It's more like the market is satisfied. |

Yeah, none of those charts are showing a "burst." |

with emulation on the rise I see a lowered demand for actual games. I am right there with you I completed most of my collection now I just need to repair a few things (virtual boy, and 2 playstation 3s), grab a PS4 pro, a nintendo switch, and a few new game and I will be all caught up. I have friends that goto a lot of the conventions and most of the games I am looking for are $500 or more, and sellers at conventions say "I have only seen that game once". While I would like to have those games, I can not justify half a paycheck for one. |
