I wonder if these things are timed for release once a target audience hits a certain age? What is that age?
It was about 8 years between 1st gen consoles (Atari, Intellivision, Colecovision) and 2nd gen (Nintendo). The retro-rerelease of 1st gen was about 8 years ago. I am 45 and am nostalgic about 1st gen. I was in high school for 2nd gen; no nostalgia, uninterested.
So do these retro-rerelease target those in their late 30's. Mid life crisis yearning for nostalgia?
