And I would go and say there's a lot less animosity in the N64 scene because of it honestly....you have people in the NES scene (not talking about myself) that go through great lengths to get these dumped and people want more or just don't care or badmouth them or expect things to be given to them at a moment's notice...they've made it a point to keep it open for people that are trustworthy. Not saying I agree with their view but I am just pointing this out because it looks like that has something to do with it..
This "interest" in protos for N64 is because these are genuine collectors of the proto carts whereas for the NES how many "true" proto collectors do you have nowadays besides Matt, Mark, and myself? A handful? That's the problem. Everyone wants releases but no one collects the things anymore these days for the NES but N64 there are definitely more prototype collectors.
