Has anyone ever figured out what the story is behind Snow Brothers being so rare and valuable on the NES? Just about every other game in that category are either games that were late releases in 1992, '93, and '94, or games with odd backstories like Stadium Events, but Snow Brothers doesn't fit into either of those categories. Nick and Tom / Snow Brothers game online Nintendo (NES) emulator. Did it just not sell very well? I know Tengen released a port for Genesis in 1993, so maybe Capcom lost the licensing rights to the game shortly after it was released, and it ended up with a limited print run as a result? It was an arcade port, released by Capcom, who was a top tier developer in those days, and it came out in 1991 when the NES was still going strong. It's also not as though Snow Brothers has just recently shot up in price either, I've been collecting NES games forever, and even in the days of Funcoland, Snow Brothers was always a high priced title compared to the rest of the games on the console. It just seems like a peculiar title to be so rare and expensive. The Funcoland pricing is probably why the game as always been priced a little higher on the used market than most other NES titles. Bubble Bobble Part 2 was always priced expensive there as well, and as a result was also more expensive than the average NES title, even before the collecting scene took off.īut there definitely isn't a ton of copies of this floating around, its one you never even see people reporting on finding.
