Hot anime babes.

steam-heart's what?

Steam-Heart's スチーム・ハーツ, nigger.
Because the idiotic shmup fans are actually willing to pay for them.
There's no reason for Saturn Battle Garegga to cost ten times the price of the PS4 version.
SHMUPs are also very accessible to many levels of gamers with good depth, variety and rarity like the yang to the JRPG yin

Nintendo tax

You know why it's so expensive?
Same damn reason why games are generally so expensive and why reseller scum are screwing retro gamers so brutally...
Because no new retro game stuff is being made! What are we getting? The NES mini, and the tectoy special edition genesis, both very limited run items.
The reason we don't have cheaper shumps is because there's nothing like Cave or Toaplan making their own mini system!

Good question. The anime babes haha

Also, it's just as expensive on yahoo auctions, if not worse. That's not usual; I've seen japanese games for very cheap on yahoo auctions that were very expensive on ebay or play asia (though the latter is made up of jews).
