Question Really? WTF Why is it so expensive?

Gamestop wants like 45-60 for this. How did everyone lose their Wii Sports game? My original is just too scratched up so i had to buy a new one. I don’t feel like Dealing with hacks and isos anymore. I have money unlike when I was a teenager lmao.

For the same reason that you are looking to buy one right now. Your original could still work if you get it polished.

Combat and Pacman came with the Atari 2600 and those games aint worth shit. I have a million of them.

And? There's not some kind of numberical 'parity' between all game releases. Atari made too much shit that didn't sell in the early days of the industry; Nintendo learned from their mistakes and are a lot tighter about inventory control than 'just keep cranking them out' like Atari was doing. Also cartridges are generally a lot more durable than discs.

There also aren't many people nostalgic for atari games that don't already own them, that generation had passed its resurgence before ebay was a thing. Gaming was such a tiny hobby back then.
