As ever I have no problem with scalpers and it is a long solved problem (
http://gbatemp.net/threads/on-scalping.462741/ ). Not to mention there are far far better means by which to play these games.
Despite knowing what you meant there I still choose to read quick fingers as in five fingered discount, fitting on this site too.
How does Nintendo make any more from scalpers compared to them otherwise selling out to gamers what will love and cherish it for years to come? It is not like Nintendo gets a cut. Unless it is some kind of "we will get more interest next time" and... there are better business strategies out there.
That surely depends upon what rule set you go in for (assuming it has not changed in the last 7 or so months it is a rather fractured community or bunch of communities, and that is before the tool assisted types get a look in). Also maybe speedrun rule set makers could pull the stick out of their arses.
The N64 was not a success to the extent of the SNES and NES, you struggle to emulate it on cheap commodity hardware (though with their sub par efforts for the NES and if the power of ARM keeps going up I could see it eventually), many of the games look and play like arse compared to games of today and they don't have quite the same rights to a lot of the games as they did from their iron fisted eras (I doubt they will get Microsoft to release the Rare catalogue, especially as Microsoft already sell the Rare collection, Goldeneye is trapped in film rights hel and a handful of others have already been remade). I am not expecting one any time soon.
