Just like the title says, have NES game prices peaked or is likely to continue going up for the foreseeable future.

    Just wanna point out your asking people to predict the market

    Can it go up? Of course!

    Has it peaked? Maybe

      Sure, just haven’t been keeping up with price changes the last couple of years so wasn’t sure if things were trending in one direction or the other.

    It will probably continue to increase. No more are being produced, and the more worthwhile ones are being added to collections and taken off the market, so what’s left on the market is increased in pricing. Some also become lost or destroyed over time. It may come down when buyers are no longer interested - maybe that means the people who fondly remember NES games have passed on, so this would take a while.

    Peaked? No, not unless another production run happens. They will fluctuate, but you should have every expectation that 500 years from now, an original cartridge of Mario/Duck Hunt will be pretty damn valuable. Much less the actually rarer ones that will have stopped existing outside of digital and pirated physicals.

      I find it hard to believe that many people will care about the NES once the generation that played it as kids and their children kick off to the great beyond.

          Yes but how many things are you really into from the 1890s. Unless it has actual material value most of the pop culture stuff of the past is cheap and not valued. I collect it because I love it and have the full 400+ set of NES games. My nephews who are 9 and 11 and love Nintendo and Pokemon do not care about it at all.
