I bet you could find a limited market in those wanting a new board made copy of Sim City for NES.   There's just one nut on ebay, dude wants like $100 shipped for it, which isn't happening.

Well, being that I don't know anywhere where I could get a custom MMC5 board, not to mention the mapper itself, I'd have to do it with donor carts.  I could definitely make them, but not from scratch, and given the likely cost of a donor, it won't be cheap.  I think the "one nut on eBay" is likely not making much off that cart.  Also, the fact that it uses a battery backup makes a lot of work to use the cheapest NES donor cart (Laser Invasion), or requires a converter to utilize a Famicom donor.  Either way, it's more money and time to create it, increasing the cost to the consumer.  I'd definitely be willing to do it, but it'd take a couple months between sourcing the stuff I need, building the cart, and shipping it out.
