it HAS been discussed many times, but let me set my opinion anyway.
Absolutely not.
When "Classic NES series" for GBA came out, I dont think it did a thing to the original games values.
Same thing for mega man X collection.
Mega man X2 and X3 still sell for big bucks.
Emulators and free roms have been available for years. yet here we are still buying up and trading classic games.

I doubt it, Roms have been out and does not affect the situation.

X2 hasn't gone up in price has it? Last I checked, it was a $20-$25-ish title. While not cheap, not what I'd call "big bucks" either.
Got mine for $10.80 this past February at a Game Crazy :D

IMHO, i think it might actually boost the value of old school games. if people play these games enough, they might want to actually buy these systems and the games to go with it.
