The other thing is that, in theory, there is a nice precedent being set here, and if other companies can follow suit, it's a great step towards preserving video game history
Every company but Nintendo, I do not trust Nintendo. I can imagine them going after people who make flashcarts like krizz and charging AAA prices for games like chrono trigger and earthbound just to cash in on the insane prices you see on eBay.
Haha, you're not wrong. Still, if they ever produced proper editions that could run original carts, I'd rather have that at a premium than not at all. Again, just for the preservation factor
