Four 8-Bit games are understandable for Game Gear Micro, but for Switch /PS4?
On top of that, they are going to release it at full retail price, ¥6,800 (over US$60!!). Aleste Collection indeed… just for the Aleste collectors.
You guys complaining about the price should buy the original games at the Current Prices and realise that this is actually fantastic value!!!
$70 for 4 rare games is a steal!!
My thoughts exactly. One of them costs US$400+ alone
Your argument would make sense if this were a series of reproduction cartridges or something special, like a replica box of the old games or something along these lines, but it isn’t. It’s just 4 roms that take up less than 2% storage space on the Switch game cartridge no matter how much generic “Sega Ages” stuff they add to it to try to inflate the value. If this is allowed to cost 70 bucks because the games are super rare and their 2nd hand market price is really high, then why doesn’t Sega Ages Sonic 1 cost 0.01 USD? I’ll tell you why. Because it’s a ripoff.
