    No, but instead of spending thousands on shit that fills up my space, I just built a NAS server with 10tb of games from first Gen to the sixth Gen. Now I can literally emulate every retro game for far less money and space.

          Good luck trying to find obscure Japanese games or even Western releases that aren't 1000x overpriced from homosexuals on eBay. I'll just sit here and enjoy all my games with no problems on my 65" OLED. Maybe I'll even put on a crt filter if I'm feeling extra cheeky.

          Are you moronic or just underaged? How have you not heard of flashcarts or ODEs?

        Emulation is free, makes games look and run better and they helpt to preserve games companies would rather you forgot so they can sell you new consoles and fully priced games with monetization and DRM.

    Wait he spent thousands on old hardware for a youtube channel? Most people who are interesting just do their hobbies before money was in the equation. You think AVGN or Nostalgiacritic just bought thousands of dollars worth of shit to start making youtube? They already had most of it.

      Yeah any old games I own are just shit I bought way back then or payed a few bucks for at a thrift store. Buying these old games for prices higher than what they sold for even originally is just insane

        how the frick did anybody watch the Angry Video Game Nerd absolutely dominate the space for twenty fricking years and then say to themselves "Yeah, I can do that, but even better!"

        the game was rigged from the start

        exactly, who wants to watch random middle-aged guy #369 when all he has to offer is his "back in MY day" takes?
        if you want to make it, you have to have something else to offer that makes you stand out
        take the 8-bit boomer, for example, he not only knows about all that old shit (to an autistic degree) but he also MAKES retro games, and destroys ancient prototypes from time to time to keep things interesting

    1. Get PC
    2. Get CRT monitor
    3. Emulate using a scanline filter or super resolutions at 120hz with blanking

    You now have a better console experience than original hardware in almost every single case for next to no investment.

    ALL physical games will be dead at some point. Before long, everyone will be emulating.

    I own every console and a great CRT TV and have literally no reason to use them over emulation. Accept it.

    Romsets and emulation are doing fine.
    There are also flashcarts to play on retro consoles.
    There are also reproduction consoles to play on catridges.
    It's all doing fine. Preservation at its finest.

    I hope speculation hype fricking dies and prices will drastically drop at normal price.
