It’s weird how a game will sit in stock for a good while, being discounted every month but once it’s finally sold out, it’s considered valuable and then people will buy it. Blue Reflection on PS4 is a perfect example of a $45 game for over a year to $180+ in a few months

I think a lot of that has to do with this current collecting mentality of "I want it because it's rare!" I see so many people who aren't interested at all in a game until it's suddenly rare or hard to get, and this mindset really has gotten worse over the years. People were hyping up the Bayonetta 1 switch physical cart as this uber rare object and everybody should buy it, but it just sits in stock on Amazon now readily available to buy. And no one even cares or talks about it.

Yeah it's always the cardboard box cases for these old games that go up the most, because they have a notorious track record of being lost/destroyed during their usage, however once plastic cases started to be introduced everything changed for the better, Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness complete with case and Manual and Inserts is more cheap than buying a pristine copy of Pokemon Emerald in box, that's for sure.

Looks like Ryan's ready for a wild night with those leopard pants! 😂 Straight out of a Yakuza video game!

I’m glad that you still collect for Xbox and not just strictly PlayStation even though that’s what your channel is. You don’t throw shade and you’re always fair and that’s why I’ve loved your channel and content the past 2 years I’ve been watching. Don’t matter if someone decides to play on Xbox or PlayStation, as long as we’re playing and enjoying games that’s all that matters.

The Getaway is an amazing game. So much nostalgia and awe from when i was a kid. Cruising around London in an is200 is one of my favourite gaming past-times. No map and the directions given by the car’s indicators. Being a brit, games set in the UK can have my bias.

Last time when I was in North Carolina, I went to Gamers Alley and they had tons of retro games, including Xbox, Wii, PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/Vita and many other system games with lots of rare games there. It was like a retro paradise for me who grew up on all the Playstation consoles since the PS1 and PS2.

Long live Ryan! I love physical games!

Your videos are so chill and fun to watch, please keep making them cause Friday is my favourite day now due to LTPS 😭

This was wonderful. These videos are amazing to see so many classic games spanning different genres and consoles always is fun to see. Thanks for sharing such great pickups. Cool video. ^_^

I bought the original copy of Medievil and Medivil II like new back in 2019 from eBay. Psychonauts II is one that I been thinking about getting a psychical copy of. That was a great deal for that game! I really enjoy seeing these videos of the new games you scored Ryan. The feeling is mutual collecting classic games and magazines. You deserved all the treasures you got your hands on doing the great job you do with your videos. What's cool is you do videos and share what you score from the work you do doing these videos. It only makes sense for the channel and takes many down a trip down memory lane right along with you seeing these classics.

Pokémon GB/GBA games are the only games in my collection that are repros. Of course I’d love a genuine copy, but I am also glad I can let my kids play them without worrying too much 😅

Honestly, repros aren't too bad as long as people aren't trying to pass them off as genuine. Repros are especially good for as you said young kids. They can experience older games without worrying about prices and you don't have to worry about them losing or ruining an original copy since repros are cheap, lol.

@NoonDragoon

11 ай бұрын

Repros are fine, especially if you aren't interested in trading or battling as some have weird compatibility issues. But if you're just wanting to replay the classic games, yeah buy the $15 repro of FireRed instead of the $100 OEM cart. I have repros of the GBA Fire Emblem games because I just wanted to play them on original hardware, and they both worked great and I had a blast beating them for the first time.

I love watching people collect games and preserve them. I have a sort of related story. I found these two copies of Mario and Luigi partners in time and yoshi's island DS sealed at nearby anime convention and before that I'd seen a bunch of game collection videos probably even yours at some point. Obviously brought those two home. Thanks for being an inspiration to me as a collector and a gamer!

Always got love for the people that keeps physical media alive. I can’t splurge over $1,000 like that, but knowing that those games are in good hands puts me at ease.

got some great pickups there!

That Emerald copy is beautiful! I will NEVER own that so I have to enjoy it vicariously through you. Congrats on the great additions to the collection, dude!

Storytime: Last year I went home to catch up with my parents for the first time after covid lockdowns. I'm sitting with Mum and she goes "Do you wanna take your leftover games with you?" This confused me as I already had all of my games from growing up at home, but I said "Sure". I kid you not, Mum brings out CIB Firered, Leafgreen, AND Emerald. I had the carts of course, but all those years ago she had the foresight to unpack all the manuals, posters, inserts, boxes etc and flat pack them until I was old enough to appreciate their true value (monetarily and sentimentally) I took them home and reconstructed them CIB with the carts and displayed them front and center of my collection. It was a wonderful afternoon that I hold dear. It almost felt like getting a new game as a kid, reading the manuals over and over again in the car until you were home to play it. Love you, Mum

Love these videos Ryan. Obviously with the cost you can't do these more frequently but it's always enjoyable to see what you're up to in the collecting space. A bit of fresh air where your other content is almost exclusively news.

I also went to my first retro game convention this year and I can definitely relate to the money part. Whatever amount you take with you is how much you're gonna spend there because they have just so much cool stuff. Thankfully I "only" took around 100-150 bucks myself, lol.

Just beat Ghost Trick an hour ago on switch and when I continued watching this video just now where I left off that was the first game you opened. Really recommend it! You’ll definitely love it I bet!

Great video as always, Ryan. Love these game collecting videos! Thanks for sharing.

30 seconds in and im excited for one of the coolest series on this channel

Danganronpa and Gravity Rush are two of the Vita's best games. It's a real shame that the system didn't fare better. I think it's the system that deserved a bigger user base the most after only the Dreamcast.

I really enjoyed this video. You inspired me because I have fireRed game box manual. So I went on eBay and bought the poster , insert for the box and gba wireless adapter to complete my copy. Now I need an acrylic case

Can really see how ecstatic you are about the Emerald pickup Ryan, so happy you finally got it bro! Thankful to still have my original copy; surprisingly my parents kept it around. I live in Brooklyn, NY, but I think next year I’m going to try to make it out to Too Many and pick up some CIB Advance games. Would be awesome to chat with you then!

That's been my go-to trick for conventions and why I go to them at least once a year; to pickup common games. The shipping adds up buying them online, and sometimes you can get an even better deal if you pickup a handful from the same vendor. I still pickup a few big hitters, more expensive games; or at least I'm on the lookout for them-- but it's not the reason.

Those leopard pants are actually really nice lol great video Ryan!

Gangs of London is actually a really good game for a 3rd person shooter on the psp

I love the new look of the studio. Feels very professional. Also the leopard pants are very cool. Drip for sure

okay that backdrop is well worth the effort you put into setting those shelves up

This is probably one of the mostly heavily underrated channels on You Tube WISH YOU HAD 2 MILLION SUBS MAN🙃

Nightmare in dreamland is a banger. loved watching that commercial growing up.

Dude is the GOAT! I've been watching your video for years, you are my favorite youtuber :) Thanks

Recently I got a complete DS Lite, DSi, Wii, a loose PS2. Many childhood games for the DS and PS2 also I completed many loose games I had. It was quite expensive for me but I am so happy. These were my childhood and just to hold them again feels so special.

Yesss so glad you ended up getting that Klonoa! Was awesome hunting with you that day!

That Game is 60% of my montly salary rn

8:35 Seeing modern Pokémon Emerald prices always reminds me of how grateful and lucky I was to get a boxed copy for £30 like 4-5 years back. The box isn't perfect, it has some small scratches here and there but obviously for the price, it's nothing to complain about. So happy that for all the GBA Pokémon games it's the one I managed to get boxed again, since I lost the box of my original copy. That being said, I did also manage to get a Japanese boxed Ruby and Sapphire for £30 last year, which again was stupid lucky.

GREAT PICKUP ON HENRY HATSWORTH!! That game is fantastic please review it!

I love that you always preface your love of leopard print as unironic 😂 but definitely some great pants 👍

8:29 That's crazy I remember walking into blockbuster when it was new and seeing it all over the shelves. Never cared about it since I already played sapphire.

lovely video ryan as usual . love this new series keep it up cheers

Looking at the money spent… I’m super glad PS+ extra/premium exist. Sure I don’t “own” stuff… but it’s stuff I wouldn’t have been able to play regardless! As of now I’m very much positive on my money spent on subscription.

You walked into the scene and I said to my friend, “this m’fer is wearing leopard pants!” And then what did you mention right away? Those badass pants! 😂

I agree with you that buying new disks are much better than settling for an old copy down the line. You can't take chances like that!

AYO Antdude shoutout!!!!!! Damn, as someone living outside the US; i envy those kind of conventions man

Well done for that emerald game man, great job!

I love this hehe. Holy moly, it adds up quick! I’m currently buying some more vita games myself

I recently went to my parents house, a place I haven't lived at in over a decade now, and finally started going through all my stuff there (I know, bad on me). Found in the back corner of my closet all the boxes and cases for my Pokemon games (Gen 3-Gen 7, unfortunately not all of them). I was beyond ecstatic. Unfortunately, younger me didn't feel the internal cardboard piece that held the game in place was worth keeping, but the boxes are pristine and they have all the manuals, posters and what not in the box. Real shame about the one singular piece I got rid of. But they do look good on my shelf now.

I don't make it back to one of my parents' houses often but I went back recently and asked for all my childhood games, they sold them all at a garage sale 😮‍💨my heart and sould was crushed. Now, I'm like you. Gotta spend half my salary for the next year and a half buying back my childhood before the prices get completely outrageous. Thankfully, it wasn't that many games and I'm gonna collect what I had pretty much. Not gonna collect too much more than that.

Speaking of Terrell we can always use more of him in your videos. :D

Great selection of games and one especially BIG one!

U look like ur ready to beat some ass in that thumbnail 😂 Great video bro💪🏻

As someone who also is on a looooong journey to complete the mainline Pokémon series, it really sucks that one of my favorite series also ended up being one of the most expensive to collect for nowadays. And they aren’t even rare games, they all sold incredibly well!

I have a feeling a huge reason game boy stuff in general is so expensive is because there's so many loose carts, and not a lot of the actual boxes around. I know I threw mine out when I was a kid. about 15 years ago, I re bought all mainline Pokemon GB games and they were 1/5 of the price as they are now. It's insane. I know some DS games are getting exxy as well but I doubt they'd ever reach as high just because the cases are less disposable

Love these soo much ryan

Too many games deserves its name, I walked out with more games than I have ever got at any store and/or convention and a not so good looking and sounding ps2. Although I spent 4 hours in a line to get and autograph one of the days.

I love Pokémon emerald. Will at some point get a copy with packaging too

Tronne Bonne is one of the most valuable in my collection along with Pokemon Crystal CIB like new.

I remember one time my brother had some gba games a friend had shipped to him and he gave me a couple, 2 of them were loose copy’s of leaf green and firered and so I researched them, saw how much they went for and after confirming they were real sold them for 150 bucks for the both. It was then I realized how much these games go for

KLONOA!! wahoo!! Love that series so much
