papercup 09/19/19 7:43:22 PM #10:	I mean I'm not happy about the price either, but it's not a remaster it's a complete remake. Remaster is when they take the existing game and just barely clean up some of the textures and maybe add like one new graphics effect if they're feeling like putting the tiniest effort into it.

Dikitain 09/19/19 7:55:32 PM #12:	Blaqthourne posted... Krazy_Kirby posted... Blaqthourne posted... Weren't GB games $20 while the GB was current? no Based on these ads, some of them were: The most expensive game in any of them is $35. The last 2 ads show that you are comparing older games, which were likely $20 because they were "Greatest Hits". For example, Super Mario Kart came out in 92, and the games you are showing were launch titles that came out 3 years earlier. Hell, the last ad shows a N64, which came out 7 years after the Gameboy launched. New releases were typically around $40 (I think $50 if they needed battery backup). --- I am a senior software engineer.
