I kind of wish we did get backgrounds compatibility in perpetuity just for how utterly absurd it'd be trying to fix NES, SNES, N64, GBA, and 3DS cartridge slots plus a disc drive on the Switch. Hey, don’t forget about the GREATEST NES CONSOLES EVER MADE…the Virtual Boy and the Wii U. After all, it’s not like they were utter failures. It’s not like they blew up in Nintendo’s face. Oh wait! I remember wanting a Virtual Boy until I actually got a chance to play it for a minute or two at some store (can't remember where it was). Even as a kid that was impressed by damn near everything, I thought it stunk.

An inflation calculator tells me $200 in 1991 is equivalent to about $440 in 2023. How much do consoles go for nowadays? It's hard to say exactly because some come with more memory or whatever. However, back then you got two controllers and a game. Sometimes current systems are bundled with a game but you rarely get the second controller and those cost almost as much as a new game.
