Sentimental value. The gamers who used to love the old SNES games now are mostly grown ups with more disposable income, therefore the SNES game market has increased prices due to the demand.

The N64 fans are younger, don't have such high earnings, therefore the N64 2nd hand market is a little depressed at the moment, but should pick up in 3 or 4 years time as the sentimental value and buyers' incomes increase.

It is a subject that confuses even the most sound of mind in this country. I thinkits because more copies of N^$ games were made than of SNES games, making SNES games harder to come by. Supply and Demand.

I think that Snes games are a bit harder to come by.

Also, cheap N64 games are normally either crap or so good that most people already have them.
That's why they're not such hot sellers at higher prices.

If you go into Prime though, check the topic about buying a Snes. Someone found one at an auction site for £3:50 with 6 games...
