I've seen used Fates Special edition for 600 on ebay. Its gonna go higher after the E-shop is gone and the special edition becomes the only way to physically play Revelations.
>Oh no even though I have the physical copy and hardware to play it on it's still not CIB because little timmy wiped his ass with the OG manual then fed it to the dog 16 years ago and now I have to spend 200 dollars to complete my collection
You can't even do this anymore, people at flea markets just look up the prices online and match those, or at best lower them by $5 >t. visits them every weekend and family owns one
because Nintendo has actually tried to keep afloat their franchises. No one is buying Sly Cooper games if no one knows who he is. Every kid and teenager knows a lot of Nintendo characters
It isn't. That's just bullshitting their way through it for memes; reality has way easier ways to box pokemon. And Bank on 3DS becomes free in a couple months after being freed.
>That is objectively correct for the large majority of Nintendo games at this point.
Up to Switch so far. I played Xenoblade X last year through CEMU and I don't ever recommend playing it on hardware. It runs 4k at 120fps+ with only 2 glitches. It was one of my favorite video gaming moments of all time.
>NOOO MY INVESTMENT IS REAL!!! NOOOOO BAD PERFORMANCE IS SOUL!!! ITS GOOD!! ITS NOT PLASTIC AND ELECTRONIC WASTE!! ITS A REAL HOBBY!!!
Its funny how aggressively delusional hardware gays are, they literally cannot move past any post without jumping on it and replying with how emulation is bad. Its such a sad and pathetic display of self-affirmation its pitiful. Collect your trash and shut the frick up.
>learn japanese >99% of those jrpgs that people charge a fortune in english cost less than a mcdonalds meal 9n japanese
Enjoy getting scammed while I get the gold stuff for almost free
when will you fricking morons learn how to emulate? its cleaner, it takes up less space. You are an adult no one fricking cares if you completed the game on legit hardware, and if they do you can just omit it from the conversation. You'll have more room in your house, no one will care about how you have random wii or DS game in box with manual in 30 years. Stop being a fricking moron.
>Gamecube has the best emulation of the 6th gen, hands down >morons are still paying hundreds of dollars for manuals and loose discs
I grew up with Nintendo. Hell, the N64 is my favorite console. But I just don't get nintendogays. What makes them like this? It's pretty much a mental illness at this point.

I was involved in retro collecting in the late 00s. It's amazing how many of these people thought their Atari games would always be valuable. Just saying.
Books have a universal medium by virtue of being books. Music eventually settled on the CD, movies with DVD/Blu-Ray. Why haven't video games settled with an established format? That shit is why stuff easily becomes rare.
It's a bunch of fricking morons buying up everything because they think it's gonna be the next gold rush or crypto shit, but it aint. The market for the old games is gonna crash multiple times, with idiots buying up games they think are worth thousands, but it's eventually going to fade into nothingness, all that's left of "retro" collector's are the clowns holding onto rare copies of games that will never sell.
>Games die to bitrot >Investment lost
This is why "collectors" are panicking and rushing to get their games graded by WATA. Nobody can know your game doesn't work anymore if it's enshrined in fricking plastic
What's hilarious is WATA is fricking scamming these idiots left and right. It's a falsified demand. Imagine thinking someone would pay 75k for Stadium Events. A game that's readily available for 4 bucks under the title "World Class Track Meet" but the Stadium Events sticker is worth 70k bucks because it's "rare", it's the same fricking game.
Yeah, they got fricking exposed when they sold and bought their own Mario game for a million which shot themselves into the spotlight on most news sites.
Games die to discrot, if happen sooner. HDD storage dies to bitrot IIRC
>Want to have the game but it's too expensive >Just buy a repro, make a good quality box and manual exactly like the original >It's cheap and looks brand new >Can still play it on original hardware or just emulate it on PC
I don't get why people pay so much for old games.
>Want to have the game but it's too expensive
The smart thing to do is simply emulate it. Frick resellers, cope mode will do.
I remember when I was in a facebook group of local retro games collectors and they were seriously trying to convince me that Mega Man X3 SNES for 1000 dollars was a good thing because of the "emotional value that game has to someone" and "its the persons money so who cares". Total fricking spergs, that facebook group doesnt even talk about the games its all listings and selling shit.

people want to think they have gold, when they really dont
I got suggested a bundle of game that was made up of old sports shit for $100 a couple of days ago. Hate this notion that my unwanted trash is most certainly treasure. Used market is forever fricked.
Playing on real hardware is the inferior choice. Even if you go insane and spend thousands on HDMI mods and expensive upscaler an emulator can do that and far better with just one setting
damn right, I hope you fools are smart enough to cash in, games have changed.
Soon it will all be digital the only copies out in the wild will be all that there is.
Grab High rated niche titles, for best effect. niche games are better because they don't sell a bazillion units. if they are special editions even better.
even engage has appreciated because the collectors edition was hard to get.
maybe intelligent(?) systems should release their war game remake already and de-coom fire emblem so we'd have good games from them again?
>de-coom fire emblem
The series will die for good before this happens lol
>we'd have good games from them again?
Not going to happen.
But we have good games from them unless you are a homosexual like all Ganker.
name one then
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ok, reseller lmao
>130 for a fricking manual
Collectors are the easiest whales of all time.
You can haul 100 bucks worth of old trash from a local flea market and flip it on ebay for thousands.
>Oh no even though I have the physical copy and hardware to play it on it's still not CIB because little timmy wiped his ass with the OG manual then fed it to the dog 16 years ago and now I have to spend 200 dollars to complete my collection

His product is going to rot and lose.
Are you... sure?
that guy overpaid
>sold
>Ganker: capitalism is le based and redpilled
>also Ganker: Noooo you can't le sell things at a profit!
>Ganker: You will own nothing and be happy! XD!!
>also Ganker: You own physical video games?! Hoarder!! Worthless plastic!
kek
Even when i had consoles (sold them all) I would just homebrew them and pirate games on it. Did it with my WII, PS3, PS4, Switch, and PSP.
It only applies with reselling speculation.
>Noooo you can't le sell things at a profit!
No one said that. Stop strawmanning.
>No one said that.
I did though
it's the worst Fire Emblem, total garbage
>entire game got butchered by NoA trannies, who also butchered every subsequent game
You never actually played it.
When you're at a subhuman competition and need to btfo physical game scalpers.
Multi family homes with 50 year mortgages? Would do it in a heart beat
>tfw when it's always a Nintendo game
Why doesnt anyone give a shit about our games, Sonysisters?
>tfw when it's always a Nintendo game
Because Nintendo purposefully engages in artificial scarcity
that's a weird way of saying no one bought gamecube games cause it was a shit console
>it's always a Nintendo ga-
Hey I have Persona 2 on ps1 and persona 2 collector's edition for psp
Wild Arms 4 and 5 come to mind.
because Nintendo has actually tried to keep afloat their franchises. No one is buying Sly Cooper games if no one knows who he is. Every kid and teenager knows a lot of Nintendo characters
too bad i love the game too much to sell my copy
Tendies are mentally ill manchildren, more at 11
what timezone dick
How so?
Holy frick I'm rich
Didn't know this thing was that valuable.
It isn't. That's just bullshitting their way through it for memes; reality has way easier ways to box pokemon. And Bank on 3DS becomes free in a couple months after being freed.
This is why i only buy blu rays and manga. Emulation > real hardware
>Emulation > real hardware
That is objectively correct for the large majority of Nintendo games at this point.

>The best version of Xenoblade on HD is a fricking texture pack on Dolphin
Didn't Xenoblade X have a ton of bullshit integrated with it's online? Do you just cheat in some of those resources on emulator?
The online stuff is inconsequential side content.

Meds now
yeah bro nothing says "I'm a grown up" than collecting and displaying old trash in the living room, you sure showed those zoomers.
PS2 > Emulation
PS3 > Emulation
anyone got that image of the fricked up Gameboy Pokemon game by the customs department? I need a palette cleanser.
>learn japanese
>99% of those jrpgs that people charge a fortune in english cost less than a mcdonalds meal 9n japanese

It's not even JRPGs, the JP version of Super Princess Peach was 50% less than NA. Thanks nips.

uhh dbz sisters??
>fiddy bucks for shipping
damn
I gave away my copy of Etrian Odyssey 3 a couple years ago that I bought for $40 and now it's over $200.
Sold my copy of Earthbound for $100. Now it’s worth triple that.
>Gamecube has the best emulation of the 6th gen, hands down

Thank God Vimm always has my back.
check archive.org they have some really good, high res shit on there and no malware.
Itt: poor zoomies
You'll all be paying hundreds for your homosexual skylander figures and ps3 nis games in 10 years time once you finally get a career
I've seen used Fates Special edition for 600 on ebay. Its gonna go higher after the E-shop is gone and the special edition becomes the only way to physically play Revelations.
>I've seen used Fates Special edition for 600 on ebay
Damn I sold mine for probably less than half that in 2018.
I was involved in retro collecting in the late 00s. It's amazing how many of these people thought their Atari games would always be valuable. Just saying.
of course I have to see something like this when I just threw away my old game manuals
Nintendo should remake every fricking game prior to the Gamecube just to spite these fricking Black folk.
Books have a universal medium by virtue of being books. Music eventually settled on the CD, movies with DVD/Blu-Ray. Why haven't video games settled with an established format? That shit is why stuff easily becomes rare.
>Music eventually settled on the CD
On what now?

Not to mention top dogs at WATA are the same shady figures who caused the coin and comic pump and dumps of the 80s and 90s, respectively.

The smart thing to do is simply emulate it. Frick resellers, cope mode will do.
Emulating does nothing to the collector or the company and bragging about it just makes you look like a silly poorgay.
That's like bragging that you caught a wild chicken and fried your own mcnuggets, McDonald's does not care and neither does the customer.
Collectors care. Makes them mad as frick I can load a simple file onto my hardware.
Used games get bought and sold every day, regardless.
Collectors most certainly care. If they could thanos snap emulation the value of their "investment" would skyrocket to insane levels.
>or the company
Buying used games that have been out of print for 15+ years does nothing for the company either, dipshit.
I remember when I was in a facebook group of local retro games collectors and they were seriously trying to convince me that Mega Man X3 SNES for 1000 dollars was a good thing because of the "emotional value that game has to someone" and "its the persons money so who cares". Total fricking spergs, that facebook group doesnt even talk about the games its all listings and selling shit.
>Emulating does nothing to the collector or the company
Yeah this is why hoarders buy rare and prototype games and never dump them
But homegrowing is fricking baller, nothing but respect. Enjoy your $3.50 McChicken

For some version my copy comes with NHL2005. Must be worth millions.
The game itself you can't really fake, but man can't you just print one of those manuals and make it pretty convincing if you have the right setup?
I wish I was into fire emblem when I was younger because I didn't buy the gamecube or wii game and I regret it
Works on my machine.
