What are the rarest/most expensive video games you guys own? For me it is all 7 .hack games and Cubivore.
Probably Metal Slug X AES. Got it from SNK America directly at the time.
PS2 Ibara is up there as well.
Most of the PS1 JRPGs that didn't have "Final Fantasy" in the name.
This says less about my taste at the time, and more about how I was a total sucker for "anime" style things back then.
All bought on release day. Can't believe it's been almost a decade.
I own phantasy star episode I&ii plus for the game cube. does that count
>>250219525
dq7?
A Mother 3 Deluxe Box.
>>250218926
Is GU better than the first 4? Cause I found Infection kinda grindy and repetitive, though it looked cool.
Also, I owned Panzer Dragoon Saga, sold it for around 300 euros.
>>250218926
I have a box full of old atari games, not sure how many are actually rare though. Other than that I have sold off all my old games over time.
>mfw I had some awesome fucking games that are gone forever now
Uh, does Chrono Trigger count?
>>250220756
That one is pretty good.
>>250219828
Why buy 2 copies of Haunting Ground on release day?
Ogre Battle 64
Xenogears Black label.
Magical Chase for TG-16.
Not sure about my rarest game, gotta clean up some of the mess on my desk. At least I have this cheap coaster.
Sega Nomad is the closest thing to a rare that I have.
I have a Mega Man X2 catridge in the box with everything mint. It's rare, right?
Probably Graffiti Kingdom and Magic Pengel
>>250218926
Rez and the vibrating "cube", wtf
FFVII PS1 and the GameStop Cloud Tshirt that came with preorder
Tobal No 1 which came with 7 minute FFVII demo
The Bouncer
PS1 shit. I'm kind of old. :|
skies of arcadia for dreamcast
I have a large collection but I dunno what the rarity of it is.
How rare is Metal Gear Solid for Gameboy Color?
My buddy has Super Metroid and Super Mario RPG sealed in box though. Fucker.
I have the Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition on the GC, unfortunately it's not in perfect shape, as I had no idea what it was worth growing up. I also have no clue how I got it.
>>250221340

>>250218926
Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold Edition: Special Edition
It most likely wouldn't be that rare, except activision never rolled out a second batch then lost the rights to put out any more. Also the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 dlc.
Original copies of FF7, FF8, FF9, MGS, Chrono Cross, Front Mission 3, and Xenogears.
Also Steel Battalion with the controller.
>>250218926
is an original copy of giants citizen kabuto rare?
>>250221758
The PS1 Final Fantasy games are rare?
>>250221520
I've got this too. How much is it worth?
Steelbook cased Metroid Prime Trilogy and Tales of Eternia PS1, both complete with everything they came with and in good condition. Also Koudelka and Path of Radiance I suppose, though I don't know if those are actually rare or just expensive.
>>250221530
Nah just some really old OC of mine.
>>250221953
Black labels in good condition are still sought after by collectors, especially FF7
>>250218926
A pic of my DDR machine that I took for a /v/ingo. Picked it up for cheap when a nearby business closed.
I've got a Sega Nomad and Sega CDX. I'm pretty sure at least the CDX is pretty rare.
Here's some of my favorites
>>250222134
FF VII is by no means rare, black label or not, just in demand enough that people can still get away with asking $35-50 for it, at least where I live.
One of these has to be rare, or at least hard-to-find
>>250218926
>Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarantine
>the alphabetical order follows the spine design
I like it
G.U. almost got it too
>>250222134
Huh. I have em all, but 7 has a tiny little crack on the back of the case since I got it used back in the day.
Kinda wish I could replace my Greatest Hits versions with black labels. A buddy used to work at a CD Tradepost and would just bring me games at random, like black label MGS and Legend of Dragoon. I think I miss him working there more than he does.
I refuse to get PS2/3 games with Greatest Hits though. That red...
>>250221017
yes
>>250222498
Damn it
PSO Episode 1 and 2 Plus. Apparently it's worth $300+ or something.
Holographic Majora's Mask and Conker's Bad Fur Day
>>250222024
>Steelbook cased Metroid Prime Trilogy
Not really that rare. The Gamestop in my town's mall still has a shelf full of them brand new.
>>250222473
Radiant Dawn is rare? I thought that and Shadow Dragon were the only two common localized Fire Emblems.
>>250221017
G.U. fixes a lot of the problems the original 4 has, most notably you can use skills without having to pause the game and go into the skill menu every time you want to use one.
>>250222674
Well, where I live I can't find a single copy of Steambot Chronicles for sale. Kind of a shame since I'm always hearing good things about it, but nowhere out here has it (aiming to buy it locally since the places I've found that do have it in their system don't charge as much as people do online; it just never shows up).
>>250222473
Wouldn't say God Hand's rare or expensive. Just mildly uncommon. If it used to be rare, the PSN port helped with the availability.
Disaster Report and Raw Danger
Expensive as fuck these daysI'm actually tempted to sell them
>>250222234
>that feel when Sega was auctioning all of that crazy shit for charity a couple years ago and I was too poor to bid on a copy of Sanic Colors signed by the development team
>>250223105
wh oa I didn't realize that was a thing
Shit
I would have bid on it
>>250222674
AFAIK none are all that rare unless they are sealed. Pengel is worth more than I thought though, I gave mine to my brother years ago since it was garbage.
>>250223020
>If it used to be rare, the PSN port helped with the availability.
Digital releases don't mean that there are more God Hand discs out there.
Emulators didn't make Little Samson a common game.
>>250222962
I doubt those are the steelbook ones. Gamestop recently got a reprint in, and it's just the game in a regular Wii case. Don't think it comes with any extras.
>>250223005
The GBA games are the common Fire Emblem games. Far as I know, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are the hard to find ones. Or they might just have a generally high asking price, I don't know.
>>250222496
I dont know why but it was actually expensive for a few years back in 2006 and I sold it $115 on amazon. I guess people realized it aged like shit.
>>250223292
>The GBA games are the common Fire Emblem games.
no??????
>>250222709
The one for Gamecube? I have that. It's not that much on eBay though, amazon for some reason.
>>250223083
Are you retarded or something? There are a ton of those on ebay for less than $20.
I'm too lazy to find the instruction booklet, but it's around here somewhere.
>>250223305
That was probably for a new copy.
>>250223305
I think the PSN port helped with that. Still, I would assume the price was high for a good while since it's considered something of an essential PS1 JRPG.
>>250223375
Not entirely sure what you're getting at, but where I live, both Fire Emblem GBA games are only about $15-20 and show up often. Meanwhile Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn range from $55-75.
Think Shadow Dragon is only about $20 used for a complete copy.
>>250223290
True. I'm just saying that people that prefer digital, or no longer have PS2's might have felt it easier to sell their physical copy and go for the digital one on the PSN.
Either way, they're not hard to find complete copies of where I live these days. And are only about $18-20.
I win
>>250224498
timestamp or get the fuck out.
Rarest? Either Trip World for the GB or Evolution (PAL) for the NGPC.
Most valuable? Probably Earthbound for the SNES.
Most Gamecube games would be considered slightly rare today.
I've got Xenoblade, Skies of Arcadia, and The Legend of Zelda Collector's edition on Gamecube.
I also had Radiant Historia before the reprint which was cool while it lasted.
>>250223473
RIIIIISIIING ZAAAAAN!!!!! SAMURAI GUNMAN!!!
My copy of Metal Storm for the NES is worth about $50 loose. That's pretty high up there.
I'm sure some of my SNES games are getting up there in value. 90s kids are willing to pay a fortune for the games they traded in 10+ years ago.
Don't trade your games in, people!
Is the Skyward Sword bundle(including the soundtrack and the gold wiimote) worth anything?
>>250225283
Fuck yes it is.
>>250225283
Not sure what it's at right now, but I think I sold mine a while back for $100 or so.
>>250225593
What if I don't have the box?
>>250224498
>xbox
>rare
>expensive
HAHAHAHAHAAHA
>>250225664
Nope. But that gold wiimote is pretty rare.
Even better if you have the gold nun chuck
>>250225671
>xbox made just for the launch team
>not rare and expensive
>>250225283
Looks like it's worth about as much sealed as a normal wii, worth about $100 used (about double a normal wii) but most of that is probably the game (used price for game is ~$35).
I don't own a single thing worth more than what it retailed for.
I honestly believe in 30 years David Cage games will be worth a good bit based purely on camp value. I have Heavy Rain and an unopened copy of Beyond. I just need to track down Indigo Prophecy to complete the trilogy of despair.
>>250225813
Damn, the worst part is I remember throwing away the box vividly.
Earthbound cart and cubivore though the cubivore post has a tear on it
Is the skyward sword bundle really worth anything? I picked it up when it came out but I haven't beat the game yet. The gold remote is really nice, too bad the buttons are white.
>>250218926

I didn't even get to play those growing up, even with those games being rather current at the time, and it's a good $30-40 at minimum for each of the worthwhile games on the system where I live. Makes me hope they get more reasonably priced soon.
I have the original casing and discs of Red Alert. Mite b rare
>>250221292
>This guy
I Remember a friend got it for... how much ? $40, $50 buck maybe when N64 was out.
Only game I own that's maintained the price I paid for it when it came out.
Is it rare or is Tenkaichi 3 just the best DBZ game?
Going by Amazon Canada's prices the most expensive ones I own are Xenoblade and Paper Mario
>>250226359
Are you retarded?
One and only Team Launched Xbox model that's also signed.
>>250226536
How much are those out there? TTYD's still only $25-35 out here in the states, and a Gamestop exclusive reprint of Xenoblade has helped get the price to a more reasonable, but still frustrating $60 or so (this being after Gamestop was asking $90 for the reprint initially, claiming it was a "vintage" game as justification for doing so).
Times like these make me wish I still had my japanese translucent pink Hello Kitty dreamcast.
At least I still have my orange Pikachu N64
>>250220232

>>250226912
TTYD isn't much more than that here. For the N64 game the only one with a box on Amazon.ca is sold for 80 bucks. Xenoblade used with a the case and the manual is sold for 115 bucks.
Which ones are rare /v/?
>>250227768
Wow. Guessing they never brought that Xenoblade reprint to whatever the Canadian branch of Gamestop is.
Off the top of my head I've got Ocarina of Time and the Master Quest version for GC and Xenoblade (May be unopened), not sure if either counts as rare.
Have the golden Pokemon GBC too
>>250228019
None. I'll buy that collection off you for about $5 and that's the highest you're gonna get.
>>250218926
But is dot hack even good?
>>250228019
Pretty sure Silver Star Story and RPG Maker are somewhat rare. If only you had Suikoden II...
>>250228019
The persona games, Alundra, street fighter collection, tobal, & maybe the arc the lad collection.
Good Collection anon
>>250228019
FFVII is pretty rare
I bought Kirby: Air Ride for 5 dollars and Contra: Alien Wars on GBA for 15 complete
that's it really
>>250228019
>no black label MGS

>>250228534
>Helped by a large pre-release promotional campaign, Final Fantasy VII became an immediate critical and commercial success. It has continued to sell solidly—10 million copies were sold by May 2010, making it the best-selling title in the series.
10 million copies were produced. It's not rare. It's the exact opposite.
>>250221985
I got a cib copy on amazon used for 45 bucks.
So it's not worth that much, it's worth about 100 though if it's sealed but chances are yours isn't.
I mean 40-50 is still expensive for such an old release but it's not super expensive like rule of rose and such.
>>250218926
No lie OP, I would beat you and steal those games from you if given half a chance.
>>250228136
They're all called EB Games here, at least in my city. I haven't seen Xenoblade in stock since the game first came out, which is when I bought it.
Rarest ones I have are probably Suikoden 2 and Earthbound with the box/guide/etc.
>>250228865
None of the Gamestops in Atlanta ever got Xenoblade in. Most of them didn't even know what it was until a few years after when the used price skyrocketed.
>>250228019
>Legend of Dragoon
>Chrono Cross
>Syphon Filter
>Metal Gear solid
>>250228865
Yeah, even with the US reprint, I'm glad I bought mine about a month after it first came out. Certainly got my $50 worth.
>>250226534
Both, in my opinion. Is the PS2 the only rare one? I have the Wii version.
I have a CIB copy of Shaq-Fu for the Genesis with the bonus cd of Shaq's rapsIt was factory sealed until I bought it and opened it
I own the gold carts for both N64 zeldas, complete with their boxes. They're worth about $100 each. That seems to be the most valuable vidya in my collection, but I should probably dig around and see if I own anything rarer.
>>250229152
Legend of Dragoon and Syphon filter yeah, but didn't Chrono Cross have a greatest hits re-release?
>>250229138
Did no one bother to even order it down there, or was it not even in their system or something? Back when I got my copy where I live, they still had a good amount of them a month or so after release.
>>250229286
No idea if either is actually rare, but they're both expensive for sure.
both hover around $40-$50, wii one seems more common.
>>250227746
>there are people in this day and age that blindly hate the Xbox and the Xbox 360
I can name good things about both having great niche titles that neither other systems got, especially the 360 early in it's life before it became the dudebro box
>>250228327
It aged horrendously. It's extremely grindy and all the monsters and items are just reskins and copy pastes with minor differences.
The story is great however and it's the reason for playing the games.
>>250229692
Yeah - some of the 360's best titles were on XBLA.
>>250229454
I think they just didn't order them. We never get anything even remotelyweebaround here. I asked a few stores about SMT Overclocked for 3DS and none of them had heard of SMT in general, let alone the game. I do all my shopping on Amazon now for obvious reasons.
>>250229920
>Namco will never make a pair of HD collections for them, or put them on the PSN, leaving the prices to fester at the current ridiculous levels.
I'd like to play them sometime but my toaster can't even handle emulation of older games.
>>250229403
I was just pointing out what games I liked
My friend gave me a copy of Worms Armageddon for the N64 because he owed me money.
That game was worth a lot more than what he owed me.
>>250230332
I want a collection of that and Xenosaga. Hell, I even have all the Xenosagas and I'd still buy it again.
>>250230008
That sucks. At least we get stuff like JRPGs out here in the southwest. Fuck Gamestop for pushing out most of the other used game stores where I live though (the assholes have caused there to be artificial scarcity for any system they no longer stock for, which most of the remaining used game stores are too happy to benefit from, charging asinine prices for even common, best selling games; especially with the Gamecube). Also for trashing their manuals and cases for DS games.
Ever17, bought it when Hirameki went out of business for 10 bucks.
>>250228019
could probably sell of one of your copies of persona for a decent amount of change, its like 60+ for a copy.
This collection actually is beautiful, good on you anon.
>>250230658
I think one of the guys at Namco recently mentioned that if possible he'd like to do a Xenosaga collection in the future if possible, but whether they can without Monolith's input, or if it will be only for the PS3 or PS4 was up to debate, or something.
Actually been meaning to play Xenosaga myself since I found a cheap as hell copy of III a while back. Still figure I need to play Xenogears before the trilogy though.
>>250222382
how much was it?
Do I win?
>>250229554
Bro
Is that really you
When will you make another video
>>250231169
I love Xenosaga, like a lot, whole lot, but I'd still say Xenogears is the better game. You can draw parallels and get a little boner when you recognize something from Gears in Saga, but it's really not essential to play it beforehand.
That said, you should totally play Xenogears entirely on it's own merits. Plus, dat soundtrack.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-u3RUAeYWM
I have an original working Virtua Fighter arcade cabinet if that counts.
>>250231306
What the fuck is it with this game. I know that there's some creepypasta bullshit about people exploding when they play it but did anyone create a rom or something?
>>250231306
No.
>>250231572
Yeah, I mean, I picked up a cheap copy of 'gears as well ($5 complete black label copy). Just having trouble feeling like actually playing much lately. Not sure why.
What did you think of the second episode for Xenosaga? I've heard a good amount of people say not to bother with it, but I figure if it's still playable without being too horrid, it might be worth it since it's about as cheap as Episode I these days.

It's arguably the first vidya creepypasta. The rumors about this game existing have been around since before the internet. It supposedly caused people to have nausia, and in extreme cases caused people to have hallucinations and violent outbursts. The most extreme version of the rumor is that the game made people go insane and commit murder, and there's even one variation where Polybius was a government experiment to determine the harmful psychological effects of video games.
The game itself was supposedly a space shooter with lots of strobing lights and vector-esque graphics. Basically the vidya equivalent of a bad acid trip.
Panzer dragoon saga , I know it's rare but how much does it cost to buy now
>>250232085
Gameplay wise it's something of a shock after 1, and 3 goes back towards 1's style. It's one of the more unique turn-based systems and it really turned me off at first, but I got used to it and ended up liking it, you just need to understand how it works.
To give an example, about mid-way through there was a boss that was really fucking tough for me and I just barely eked out a victory. In my second playthrough, not a NG+ just straight from the beginning again, I managed to beat him with him only landing two or three hits on me, a complete breeze.
In terms of story/character, I don't understand people's problems with it, it's better than 1 in that regard imo.

Too much. Way too much. And as far as I know Sega doesn't even have the code for the game anymore, so they can't even allow for a digital rerelease or anything.
An NTSC-J copy of Crash Bandicoot 1 for PS1 that has an English case and manual but the game itself is in japanese.
Shitty pic, but related.
>>250232629
Depending on the condition it seems to go from $200 to $500.
>>250218926
Rarest/most expensive? All mine seem to be from Nintendo consoles.
Either Burning Rangers or Gotcha Force. Don't know which is rarer but GF was about $20 cheaper at least.
>>250232694
Huh. I'll keep that in mind. Any decent carry-overs between the games in general? Levels, skills, equipment, etc?

>>250232372

>>250232871
If Sega was willing to do the work they could unpack the disc files and reverse engineer the game, but considering it's a niche title I doubt they would bother. That's what Square had to do for Kingdom Hearts HD.

It's been a while but if I remember right the carryover involves some more items at the start and more starting/skill experience. I think some optional stuff might be locked without a carry-over but I'm not sure, never played them without carry-over.

Shame the western release timing for some of the games in that series fucked them over sales/availability-wise. I know the first PS2 game in the series was released about a week before Final Fantasy X.
I have so many rare and expensive games that I've acquired over the years, not through collecting, buy by just buying games that I like that happen to become rare and expensive later on, and it means fuck all since I wouldn't sell them.
>>250233735
Price =/= rarity
Conker is common as dirt. People are stupid and pay ridiculous prices because some stupid e-celeb online played the game. It's the same reason extremely common stuff like TMNT IV and Pocky & Rocky are expensive now.

I don't own one, but an original Primal Rage 2 cabinet must be pretty expensive.

I own Cubivore, like you OP, and Pikmin 2, which I've heard is hard to get your hands on
Happy Sky, DistorteD, and Gold prices are about average of their original retail. Troopers goes for about $100. Empress is like $225. Everything else is worth fuck all now, especially if used.
>>250233893
Not at all. Most common issue is the power supply but once you get a brand new one you really don't have to do much.
>>250233953
>>250233687
Yeah I got it for my birthday, my fiance got it from Amazon before the price skyrocketed for whatever reason. I think he paid around $20? Definitely not more, but damn $12 is a steal.
>>250233468
Good to hear you should get a motorcycle man
Good luck with your hunting
>>250234115
That's one of only 2 known playable ones in the world. Yeah I'd say it is.
That game was Polybus tier mythical until recently.
Rarest I got is Conker's Bad Fur Day N64 Cartridge and the Metroid Prime Trilogy Collection CE.
Almost sold them both like a month ago but for one reason or another both transactions ended up not being able to go through so I took it as a sign to keep 'em.
I own the rarest games ever made, Earthbound and Xenoblade. Am I cool yet? :)
>>250233176
He defeated a pterodactyl in unarmed combat. Although, many paleontologists have suggested that the creature he knocked down was actually the pterodactyl's diminutive, more annoying evolutionary cousin, the ramsphincter.
>>250219828
I have Rule of rose.
Xenoblade too
A sealed copy of Shin Megami Tensei on the PS1 is probably my rarest thing though.
>>250233687
>>250233953 here. A bit of patience and luck can pay off if you know your local stores. The one I found my copy at for that price has a habit of really undercharging on niche, hard to find games for some odd reason. Just a matter of what they get in. And not just with the PS1; they do the same thing for the less popular games on the Gamecube and PS2 as well. Doesn't happen often, but I've saved an assload on games I'd been meaning to look into, but hadn't bought due to general pricing elsewhere and/or rarity.
>>250234264
How long ago was that? Just curious as to how fast the price shot up, since I saw copies of Koudelka for only $25 or so just a few years ago, now they're around $45-50+.
>>250234391
Only rare thing you even mentioned was Rule of Rose.
And that game is shit.
I own 4 copies of xenoblade chronicles.
there was a thrift store where I live that had 4 fucking copies there for 10 dollars each.
they also had a ton of other wii games but they were shitty games that are easy to find and no one plays
been holding onto these for awhile though because i'm not sure if i should sell them or wait until they're worth more
>>250234330
I read up on that on unseen64. I never thought one would see the light of day. I really need to head down to the galloping ghost some time.
>>250233723
Never played Revenge from Mars but Attack from Mars was my shit. Can't remember how many quarters I wasn't at my local bowling alley back in the day.
Street Fighter Alpha, fuckersOn the Gameboy ColorNo, really. Most of my collection was either sold, or lost.;_;
>>250234102
>has never tried Sriracha milk
The rarest games I own:
Dragon Force (sega saturn)
Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean (sega saturn)
Elevator Action Returns (Saturn)
Strider 2 (PS1)
A lot of "rare" games I have weren't even rare or expensive when i bought them. i had a double-take when I saw the current price of Elevator Action Returns. I paid $50ish for it two years ago, and I thought it was a bit much at the time. Now idiots are trying to sell it for triple digits? Insane!
At the very least, selling half of my sega saturn collection over the course of this year has yielded much moneys to buy new games, lol.
>>250234731
About 4 years ago. I still can't figure out why it shot up though. Most people I've talked to who play vidya don't even know Shadow Hearts, let alone Koudelka.
>>250235123
you own dragon force and albert odyssey
please be my friend, those games were awesome.
My friend let me borrow this when we were kids and he never came to get it back.I think he moved away or something, sadly he took my copy of MVC1 for ps1 with him
>>250233642
Continuing
>>250220232
I've got that too, I dunno just how "rare" that is though.
Unopened Pokémon Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, etc. versions (I realize these aren't "rare' but I imagine that brand new unopened versions probably are worth a bit.)
Don't really know if it's technically "rare" but the NA release of the disc that has Final Fantasy's Eternal Calm back before FF X-2 came out. I know it was included in the Europe release but the only place you could get it without the internet back then was from a magazine that had a demo of FF X-2 included with it. Nobody every knows what I'm talking about.
>>250221017
It's different... they do correct on a lot of stuff and the rogue class is neat but they also take away some of the most fun stuff from the original games like level down/ status penalty or the ability to generate a Mob on a high level area to risk your life for juicy loot and tons of exp (seriously surviving a mob on a <10 level scenario was fucking rewarding)
>>250218926
Great taste OP. Did you get the undubs for G.U? The japanese voice acting was amazing.
I had to undub one myself but boy it was worth it just to hear Haseo call Skeith on japanse.
I wonder why the fuck they didn't release dual audio versions like they did with the original games.
>>250235182
Exactly the thing that makes me wonder about it as well. Not like Shadow Hearts 1-3 saw a PSN rerelease or anything that might have prompted sudden demand for the original (and I doubt those games will ever wind up there). I have heard people say that Koudelka and Shadow Hearts 1 didn't sell too well, but that demand wasn't all that big compared to more popular JRPGs, at least back when the PS2 was big.
Guys, don't trust prices on some games. Unless a game is actually rare in terms of it being low print the prices will fluctuate based on popularity.
Remember when FF7 was $70 - $100 around the time Advent Children was coming out? The single most common game in the entire PS1 library was expensive because it was in the mainstream's minds and resellers latched onto that for a small amount of time. It averages at the most $30 for a black label copy now.
Conker, Earthbound, and other Nintendo system games are currently in that same transitional period mostly due to fucking retards like Pewdiepie. The bubble will burst eventually and everything will plummet back down to reasonable prices.
>>250235371
>not being a good friend and returning it before he leaves.
What a faggot.
Nothing all that rare, valuable or special really (all CIB)...
>MGS The Twin Snakes
>Metroid Prime Trilogy in the steel case
>Pokemon Heart Gold (fetches between 50-60 where I'm at for some reason)
>tLoZ Four Swords Adventures (Again around 50+ here)
>tLoZ Wind Waker (Once again 50+ here)
>Soul Blade (not really all that valuable but hard to find here)
>Gears of War PC (very hard to find here)
>Half Life PC (kinda hard to find here)
>Diablo PC (kinda hard to find here)
>Warcraft II PS1
>Mass Effect PC (kinda hard to find here)
>Halo PC (harder to find here)
>Halo 2 PC (harder to find here)
Nothing really worth more than 60 really
mostly worth 30-40...
>>250235642
tried calling him never got a response trust me I wanted my MVC back.
>>250235371
i bought this for 10 a wal mart back in the day... dont have it now... wish i did
>>250235491
Because in the original .hack games in japan, they had the Japanese voice track, and then a joke Japanese voice track. They decided to just give the English version the Japanese voice track along with the English one. I don't believe they did the same thing for G.U., so they just decided not to provide a second voice track.
>>250221758
>Steel Battalion with the controller.
Jelly.
>>250235525
Yeah the only exposure I remember the series getting was when XPlay looked at SH3. I don't hate SH3, but it's definitely not the best of the series.
>>250235526
EarthBound has been expensive since way before Pewdiepie even existed bro
Not much, probably just Dokapon Kingdom, and my original JP import copy of Fire Emblem 6. Love that thing.
>>250233589
Well, OP stated rare/most valuable and those certainly match the latter.
Only other thing in my collection is a bunch of old PC games, like this collector's edition of Inferno, that I don't know the actual rarity of because there's almost no information about them.
>>250235765
Heart Gold and Soul Silver are pretty damn expensive for a decent selling DS game in general. I figure the fact the mechanics/graphics are updated, it's compatible with other Gen IV games with Gen III transfer capabilities, it's some people's first time experience Gen II, while others want it for nostalgia has driven up the price there. Still obscene that it's now more expensive used than it was initially new, and I'm glad I still have my copy.
Gamestop's actually the cheapest place for it where I live these days, asking $50 for it, complete or just cart only, while others ask even more. Disgusting.
>>250235371
wait is the original Marvel v Capcom on PS rare? I have that game, probably tossed in the closet somewhere in my old room at my parents house
>>250235526
>Pewdiepie
He's also the reason a lot of older horror games prices have skyrocketed.
>>250236330
I know it goes for a lot on amazon but I mostly wish I still had it cause it was really fun. I know they rereleased it to PSN but I like having the original.
>>250235397
>>250235765
>Pokémon Heart Gold
Have this and Soul Silver unopened as well. Also Pokémon XD unopened too. I....I'm really bad with pokemon games, yeesh. Have that Jirachi disc for Colosseum too.
>>250236242
>Dokapon Kingdom
Now YOU buddy have something I want.
>TFW travel from retro video game store to store instead of buying online
Is anyone else asmautistic as me? I enjoy the feeling of hunting for rare games and it's pretty rewarding too, can get some great finds for cheaper than online.
>>250236103
I actually first heard about the series here on /v/. Though the fact that I didn't have a PS2 back when it was current might have had something to do with it. Still, I did have a PS1 when I was younger, and I don't even remember hearing about, or even seeing copies of Koudelka available back then.
>>250236112
5 years ago loose carts of Earthbound averaged below $100.
I work in a retail video game store. I remember sitting on half a dozen because no one wanted to pay $75 each for them at the time. Eventually ended up sending most of them to other stores in the company.
>>250235326
Dragon Force is pretty tight; I would love to see a new entry in the franchise, even if it is never going to happen. Slowly taking over other kingdoms piece by piece is lots of fun. Albert Odyssey is 2goofy4u. Every line is practically a one-liner; I love it.
I was lucky I bought those games before they became ass-expensive. It's next-to-impossible to buy Saturn games these days.
>>250224498
youtube video slider/timeline on the bottom.
>>250236306
yeah i know what you mean
i have mine from when i came out
i got it as a bday gift
i remember buying soul silver for a girl i was seeing back when it came out so we could play together
back when HMV had games i remember there was an entire shelf of them for 39,99 and they dropped to 20 when they were clearing out all the games
shoulda bought a few and kept em sealed, coulda got like 75 a pop lol
>>250236575
yup i remember this as well
my local game shop had 2
80 each
was like fuck that at the time
this was maybe 2006
>>250236368
hopefully that'll pass once pdp is no longer a thing.
It's fun for me now discovering new survival-horror games on the PS1. I just finished Galerians, and it was one heck of a ride. Great game, silly VA, lots of creepy atmosphere.
>>250234115
that's pretty interesting what are some other rare stuff like that??
>>250236575
I've been dying to play Earthbound but they didn't put it out for 3ds so I might have to try emulating it.
2 copies each of Tombi 1 and 2
>>250237273
very very very overrated game i think...
>>250236568
I prefer to use local stores when possible. Not only because finding something you've been looking for an actual place feels good, but I can do my own condition checking on what I'm buying. Also the fact that depending on the store, chances are I pay less buying here than online.
I'm fine using stuff like Amazon for stuff I absolutely cannot find though, or games that are actually new/saw a cheap reprint (like the PS2 SMT titles).
One local scalper store keeps fucking up their prices in a good way.
>Xenogears for $5 (normally $30 here)
>Xenosaga Episode III for $13 (normally $45-70).
>Fire Emblem Path of Radiance for about $10 (normally $55-75).
>Mario Sunshine for $12 (normally 25-35).
>Wild Arms ACF for $18 (normally $45-60).
>Jurassic Park Operation Genesis for $30 (normally $60-80).
>Koudelka for $12 (normally $45-50).
They also had a copy of Symphony of the Night for $12 complete as well, but I let a friend know about that deal instead since I already had a copy.
>>250219828
I sold this game for like 10 bucks after buying it for 20, I feel stupid.
>>250218926
Wish I didn't sell my copies of .hack either!
I was in school and needed money to make rent, now I have money, don't wanna rebuy at dem prices.
Not necessarily super rare, but signed so somwhat special.
>>250218926
Watch closely:
http://youtu.be/0SWEdEnik58
One Piece Unlimited Adventure. Nothing special but hey, it's near 70 dollars now.
>>250237382
yeah, a lot of times a store can have a game cheaper than dealing with ebay/amazon bullshit. A lot of stores are getting more savvy though, so prices have crept up. You have to be smart with your shopping. I found a good copy of Castlevania Chronicles in a local shop for $40. Not really a deal, but cheaper than usual and a great game to boot.
>>250228865

Fake. Notice how when he holds EB up to the camera it has a plastic cover on it. The one he throws on the fire doesn't. It's the old switcheroo.
>>250237973
they're called EB games and GameStop here in canada, probably like half and half
