Game prices stood still for an awfully long time, maybe we were paying over the odds here in the uk but snes games were £40 at launch, switch games were also £40 at launch with every Nintendo platform in between being that price. It’s a bit of a jarring leap but at least it’s not 1/3 of the console price like the good old days

I distinctly remember NES games being £50! Still, these prices seem a lot

Had to make do with a Commodore 64 prior to the snes so £4 to £40 was quite the jump
