MORE Rare and Expensive Games you'll Never Own 

I have super bowling for SNES CIB almost mint.

Hey man, unfortunately I don't have any extra money but I'm sorry to hear about your family member. I hope you're taking care of yourself mentally, it's very stressful when these things happen. Sadly I can only send positive vibes from the other side of the world, but I do mean them! Stay safe

How much would a Original VERSION 1. NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM cost today with Mario bros ???

no time stamps?

Web of Fire is a decent game IMO, reason it goes for so much as it had came out near the end of the 32x's lifespan and got a limited run of like only 50,000 copies or so.

Yeah it’s wild they’re not rare but the demand is so high they’re expensive asf

I have an original copy of yellow, Red, and Sapphire on my brothers old gameboy advance

Literal same exact situation I'm in at my work too lmao, the games are on a constant waitlist and the once in a blue moon time they aren't they're scooped up by the end of the day we receive them.

Think how many around the world were just thrown out or just got damaged as kids grew up, went to university, moved out etc. A lot I'd assume.

A lot of people just hold onto their Pokemon games, and the ones that do get sold, are quickly scooped up by the people selling them as 'rare' online.

I’m expecting 3ds games like FE echoes, fe fates, and fe awakening, alongside Dragon Quest 7, OR/AS, bravely default, and kid Icarus uprising to spike in value in the next couple of years

What lockdowns

​@@FlintTheDad I keep hearing other Americans talking about lockdowns and I'm just like y'all wouldn't know a lockdown if it slapped you in the face. People be such crybabies they take VOLUNTARY public health advice the same as actual authoritarian lockdowns like they had in China 😅

The physical SMT carts were already pricey while the 3ds eshop was alive, now they are going to be even more expensive and it really sucks.

​@@FlintTheDad exactly, what a dumb thing to bring up 3 years later

This video is... hard to watch for me. I used to own a LOT of games, like my own stuff i bought as it came out going back to the NES. Then early 2000s i got into collecting and i had a bunch of good stuff there. But... having to move around and downsize and paying bills. At the time i didn't think much of it, i thought eh I'll go buy back stuff later. I could probably have retired off the stuff i HAD. Seriously. Ouch.

The internet really ruined lots of good things

@@QF_Dan72 Smart phones especially.

I'll never forget when I turned 16 I came home to find my mom had organized a garage sale and without my permission had sold off a ton of my games for pennies on the dollar that to quote her "looked like they were for kids so I didn't think you'd want them". This included The Misadventures of Tron Bonne and multiple other heavy hitters including Panzer Dragoon Saga. We literally didn't talk for a month, and looking back I don't even think that was teenage sulking, I think that was justified sulking.

@@Goldenkitten1 It's depressing how common this is.

I hope you got into the Clone Hero community as well. It's brought so much life back into the game its insane

For real, some of those guitar hero controllers cost as much as real fucking guitars! I bought some PS2 guitars at my local game store. $40 a pop. Even that’s sick!

I, Like many others, ended up just throwing all my rockband stuff away, when no one wanted it. Now its just crazy how pricy they are.

@@Ckoz2829 I opted for the PS2 version as well. It's just too hard to find the necessary pieces to buy the PS3 ones due to the outrageous prices. I paid $40 for my guitars as well.

As a Rock Band enthusiast is feel you. I have a copy of Rock Band 3 for the PS3 and the full pro set up (Guitars/Keyboard/Pro Drum Set) I held on to after I bought them used back in 2014. Yeah tried to buy another PS3 pro adapter... F***** Obnoxious. I'm so glad I didn't sell my stuff. Lol

Tbh I consider my Pokémon as my friends so you’re not wrong 😂

Mr mosquito is awesome though...

@@ivanb4681 yep Mr. Mosquito is a really fun game and Mr. Mosquito 2 was even better but it only came out in japan, i still have the ps2 original disc jp only in a box.

never going to get over giving away my copy of solatorobo to my ex

You should also emulate Solatorobo as well if you hadn't already. The characters from Tail Concerto also make an appearance in it too as side characters.

I always wanted to own Tails Concerto. I played the japanese demo on a demo disc, however the game didn't come to America until much later. I emulated it later on and loved it.

I know it's bloody insane that the Brilliant Gamecube Fire Emblem game goes for so much money, heck it's easier to buy Star Fox Assault on the same system for less than a third than what the Grid Based Strategy RPG goes for, man I wish Nintendo could just rerelease the Gamecube classic along with most of the Gamecube exclusive library so to possibly to lower the prices on the Gamecube games significantly.

That's not even that bad. Look at the collectors edition of fates.

Wait. Path of Radiance is worth something? I have my copy an replay it every now an then.

This is why emulation is an option

Wait is it worth money? I have it for GameCube

The Amiga was the greatest thing ever

They said that because they knew the value and they toss it then get it after you left. Damn i sold my drums for 75 like 6 years ago, i've should have waited longer x_X

still cheap compared to the U.S. where I had to spend 100 bucks on the Xbox version.

@@jadedheartsz some encouragement for importing and de region locking consoles or importing a PAL xbox 🤣

good to hear. $200 is way too much for a game.

That's awesome

I was incredibly lucky that a friend of my brother just straight up gave me his copy of Silent Hill 1 for free. I would never be able to afford it otherwise. You were smart. Unfortunately I didn't have a PS1 back then and I was also 12, lol.

Same here. Sadly with the xbox 360 closing, those games are gonna skyrocket so l’m focused on those right now

crazy how AVGN was able to get his 32x at a flea market for $2.50 and stores wouldn't even let you give them 32xs for free back in the day and now the console has gone back to it's original 150 dollar value.

I have zero interest in 32x. There's nothing good on it worth playing that isn't available elsewhere. Let someone else throw thier money away

@@topchief1 Knuckles Chaotix is good tho

I would've been so upset. I still need to track down a copy myself

It's like the 3rd game in a series. Look up Remote Control Dandy on the PS1, Tetsujin 28-Go and Remote Control Dandy SF on the PS2, and a spinoff Chosoju Mecha MG on the DS.

@@badtzmzo i don't remember Tetsujin getting a game for the Ps2, but i do remember Giant Robo having one, similar gameplay

i'm assuming the shipping fees is bad as well?

I wanna cry thinking about the games I traded in to GameStop when I was a kid

Cool flex

same deal with the official Gamecube Component Cables which make your games look better, those could only be bought through Nintendo's official website so a lot of people had no idea they even existed.

I want to say Austin has talked about them before ? At least he went into Oneechanbara and It's roots I know for sure.

You are thinking about the Simple Series. Quite a few got PAL releases.

It really should. Hopefully at some point Jim the future, it will

some actual humans are buying them because they think it'll be worth a lot once they get it graded.

Concerningly yes, people want to make a quick buck before the bubble pops, not caring that they're part of a giant scam. They're the NFT types. Hopefully it's scammers left out of pocket in the end and not just stupid but harmless people.

for real, i bought it for 20 the same exact same year everyone hiked up the prices. "rare" game my ass. lol

No regrets

Exactly. People are so whiny. If you can't miss at least 200-500€ a month you are failing at live in general.

@@drunkensailor112 true. It’s probably mostly young people. Because when they say things like “omg it’s so much” I’m just like… uhhh… my electric bill is 200$ 😂 oh well… more for us right!? 👍

@@kyledodson2992 exactly. but internet is full of whiners. They could better use that time to get their Financial situation in order.

TRUTH

Those were not made by Sega

@@drunkensailor112 ...but, Sega allowed them to exist/be made 🤑

I second that!

Hope you didn't grab it at that price, as the prices blew up during the pandemic and are coming back down now that it's over.

@@autobotstarscream765 Nope lol, I still have the copy I paid $45 for ten years ago.

My favorite series is the 08th MS Team first and G Gundam second

@@greenkoopa Zeta Gundam is my all time favorite Gundam series. Zeta is everything Tomino wanted the original to be and is a much darker and complex story. All of the OVA's are great as well. 08th, 0080 and 0083.

@@Decept1onCheck If I remember correctly, Zeta was super emo 🤔 Heero Yuy used to make me laugh cause he's so damn serious

​@@greenkoopa Are you thinking of Gundam Wing? I grew up with it on Toonami back in the day.

i just found out about that game recently as well

Loved this game back back in the day, thankfully it's not that expensive in EU, picked up a cib copy a couple weeks ago for 30€

Do you have Simpsons arcade?

@@dallinferguson994 no, do you?

​@@TheWillrocks51I'm hoping he does, I'd ask if I can come over lol

same here, i've got some delisted ones like TMNT Out of the Shadows and Scourge Outbreak.

you have Daytona USA?

Wait a minute what. .those things you find by the dozen in thrift stories?

same deal with books, I recently bought an ultra-rare out of print tie-in novel for the NBC sitcom "California Dreams" cost me over 100 bucks to get it from Etsy but i've seen it for sale anywhere else so it wasn't like I could count on a cheaper copy popping up anytime soon.

Why?

@@drunkensailor112 Because monetary "value" is just an arbitrary number that does nothing to indicate the ACTUAL value of a game? Because it incentivizes bad actors to screw people over by selling an okay-at-best game at ridiculous markups? Because the original developers often refuse to do anything about it even when they're still running and have all the proper licenses to resell the games, especially considering that they have a strong profit motive (if someone's desperate enough to pay $200 for a game they'll *definitely* play a more reasonable price for it especially without the scarcity)? Because the only cost-effective method for some people to play and archive certain games, ie. emulation, is often targeted by those same devs when they're not even bothering to offer a legal alternative? Because I'm sick of how capitalism poisons people's minds to where they're willing to roadblock a large swath of the population from enjoying pretty much anything whenever possible for the sake of the almighty dollar??? Take your pick.

@@PuppyLuver256 value is simply supply and demand. That dictates the price. Nothing else.

@@drunkensailor112 So I guess any treasured memories you've made with your loved ones have no value if you weren't actively spending money while making those memories? "Value" has much more meaning than simply "monetary cost", my dude. Creative value, emotional value, sentimental value, personal enjoyment value, I could go on. And even if it were just about monetary "value", it is still not a *good* reason to jack up the price of games to ridiculous amounts. Key word being *GOOD* reason, not just *a* reason. I understand how supply and demand work functionally, and that's not even remotely related to the point I'm trying to make. I just don't consider "supply and demand" to be a GOOD reason to make every little goddamn thing in the world so expensive to the point where the only option for some people to get any modicum of happiness is to either go broke or risk their or someone else's arrest, and I'm far from being alone in this thinking. But I can't expect someone whose argument can't even begin to address any of the *actual* problems I have with conflating monetary cost to the full value of a creative work to actually understand where I'm coming from. Get your ass back to econ class if you're not going to bother even attempting to understand that there's anything in this world more valuable than cold hard cash.

damn that's so cool, I live in the same state as GG though it's bit far from where I live, amazing how much stuff they have there.

@@jadedheartsz I try to make a habit of going once a year and I'm happy Covid didn't sink the business (it helps that the owner has other businesses to help offset the loss in profit) it's definitely an experience everyone who love games should try out if able, hell the last time I went I was jumping for joy to see an original 94 Jurassic Park arcade machine for the first time in 15 years, I enjoyed playing it to completion with both my best friend and a second playthrough with my wife :3

Japanese folks got the Amiga "classic" Baby Jo In Going Home on the PC Engine CD

You will be surprised how many "lost" games have been emulated - I've seen emulation of staff in house demos which never get seen by the public. It's a fascinating area of gaming.

agreed

Pal releases mostly come with English anyway..!
