Though they still haven't hit the heights of the most expensive Neo Geo cartridges of the 90s...

But so many bargains are to be had in the realm of used games and Steam. Classics available for a few dollars, that kind of thing.

I can't tell if Nintendo just thought they could raise prices for the new Switch, or the tariffs hit it, or inflation, or maybe all of the above, but it's a pricey system...
