Game Boy cartridges seem like they're generally reasonable (to me) prices, despite retro games being sold for really inflated prices nowadays (due to market manipulation).

Sometimes I can look at the NES and Game Boy versions of a game and the Game Boy version is significantly cheaper too - and that leaves me wondering if the Game Boy version sold better, or if the current demand is lower, or if NES prices are being manipulated more than Game Boy ones?

@NovaSquirrel I feel like people generally think of the NES as a "more retro" system, perhaps?

@Felthry Could be the case, and it's probably got more attention on it - Nintendo themselves seem like they put a lot more of a spotlight on their console games when they do references and such.

@NovaSquirrel We never were big on game boy, but game boy color had a lot of games we're real nostalgic for, and definitely gba too

@Felthry I was pretty much introduced to all three at roughly the same time, so they're all pretty much the same for me nostalgia-wise
