I feel you man I wanted to buy a copy of pokemon emerald but no way on gods green earth I am forking $230+ for it. I also find bs is that many resellers are saying that it's hard to find nowadays. It never was difficult since they sell millions and they use that excuse to jack up the price. Hopefully the bubble pops and investors("gamers") loose money in their collection

@yellowblanka6058 I understand where your coming from though. It's really easy to emulate retro games nowadays heck I even do it as well on my original consoles but maybe it's the fact that it feels good having a physical copy in your collection to play it like when it was new. I played retro games in 2017 when it was affordable since it was for people that don't have enough money for the new gen consoles and their games.
There really should be some kind of legal precedent that allows for piracy when the companies that own these games literally do not provide ANY path to legally obtain/purchase these games for a reasonable price. How can a company get frustrated when they are literally the ones who could change this situation at any time? Ugh

The guy in the store offered them to me for free, Wolverine stayed there, Mega Turrican came home. Over a decade later, Mega Turrican is super expensive for the Genesis. I kind of feel bad that I didn't take Wolverine too, would be another game for the old game collection.

I can understand the types of games that didn't sell a whole lot of copies from their original releases that would cause them to be so expensive in second-hand markets, but I will never understand how certain games that sold EXTREMELY well in their haydays, millions of copies (to the point where they even get player's choices re-releases) and are super common, suddenly go for the price of a brand new current-gen system? That's just being fricking greedy, especially with Pokemon. Unless a game is rare or hard to find, no one should be having to spend the amount that is the equivalent to paying rent just so they can experience a game they been wanting to play.

There are some collectors out there who are like "you could probably get this game for $100" all casually like if it was no big deal. and I'm sitting here losing every ounce of hope for getting that game. And now I'm glad I have super Mario all stars.
If you notice, those sealed and graded copies of games only sell on prestigious auction sites that normally selling Renaissance paintings and the like. Most of those have 0 bids on Ebay. I'm totally not implying anything.

Retro Game Prices blew up thanks in large part due to Heritage Auctions and WATA’s backroom deals. The entire industry is hyper inflated at the moment; I have zero faith in the stability of the current market. I simply don’t trust any “sealed” game. It’s not hard to get a shrink wrap machine and reseal any game with a decent box. To the point that you could even put a different cheaper disc or cartridge from the same console into the box, seal it, and send it in to WATA to have it graded. Not saying I personally have, but it’s easy enough that I wouldn’t trust any sealed or graded game to be the actual game it purports to be.

Oh you mean like the 1.5 million dollar Mario 64 that sold on heritage? The same one where you can buy on eBay for 30, currently?

@@Ret_Chrogames Yes, that exact 1.5 million dollar sale is one of many involving the combined collusion between Heritage & WATA. It’s not like that was a single one off sale they were involved with inflating the value of. Many of the articles promoting these sales as well as their appearances on popular resale programs on TV are all part of a concerted marketing effort on their part to inflate the value for future sales. It’s very much the same thing that happened with Beanie Babies back in the 90’s and countless other examples throughout history. Karl Jobst did a couple really good videos about them that gets into way more detail than I can here in the comment section.

0:59 I definitely relate to the interest in old games. Like I remember seeing a video of the stuff added in Super Mario Advance 4 with the E-Reader cards and really wanting try the Super Mario Advance series. I eventually did so with the Wii U Virtual Console (RIP). Heck even though it was for the original Game Boy, I got Super Mario Land 2 on my 3DS which my mom questioned my young self on, pointing out the monochrome graphics. As for the topic at hand, I definitely agree. The most I paid for an old game was Pokemon Black 2 at like… 120 dollars I think. It would really be nice but unlikely of Nintendo for them to make reproduction carts of their DS and 3DS games to try get into the Retro Games Market.

Stock prices can artificially inflate more when people are excited about new games (GTA 6 anyone?) so making it difficult/impossible to find old games is part of the game of capitalism. It makes it harder to notice when an older game did what a newer game does, but better or just as well.
Like th... Like they show you a baby and you say “it's pretty” , that, obv... And you ain't thinking that you aren't being sincere, but if you say that “it looks like shit”, it sound horrible

I remember when I made a video talking about retro game collecting was too expensive back in 2014. Oh, how I miss those days and wish I could go back to THOSE prices. (I also really should have focused on getting my gamecube collection back before things went bonkers.)
I can relate to having to get rid of previous collections for peanuts, only to realize later on that my collection was worth a hell of a lot more than I had to sell for. I remember back in the early 2000's when I bought a boxed & pretty mint Atari Jaguar for 15 English pounds! My last buy of a retro console was a boxed SNES bought from a charity shop for 15 British pounds, the box was in ok shape considering its age, but the console itself had yellowed to the point where it looks like nicotine staining, & the game pads looked as though they've been stamped on, they still work, but the casings are cracked & fractured.
i just don't bother buying physical copies of old games anymore. there's this one lair owned by someone who happens to be named vimm...

As of late I've only really gotten games for old systems I have a genuine interest in. Collecting the crazy rare games that cost me the same as a car payment isn't worth it at all. My local retro store has a copy of Devils Third for Wii U in a case behind the counter, whenever I need a quick laugh I look at it. I'll happily throw a decent amount of money at some hardware but not a game that most people hated when it came out.
I’m lucky to own my sister’s copy of SoulSilver. Sure I got my 3DS jailbreaked but DS games are blurry for some reason on that thing and I hate looking at it.

This garbage is why I always try to pick up collections of older content from my favorite franchises whenever they're released. I can finally play Mega Man Battle Network and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door without having to pay speculator prices.
