I actually love this console. The 3DS is the best way to emulate it now a days. If you've got one, try downloading the Red Viper emulator.

Great video. Looking forward to future analyses. These 2004 guides must be very interesting!

Unrelated but what do you enjoy on that Apple II? Would love video on that.

Im the exact age as the GameCube. Love that for sum reason

Yes

Seen with titles now like the messenger and Celeste that they’ll get re released if the demand is there. It’s a fool’s errand to buy retail inn hope for a profit

I live in UK so for retro gaming i picked one up on ebay mainly to be able to use 60hz ntsc, cuz all cheap tvs on gumtree are scart 50hz only

Bought as a companion to my SD oled. :p

Nice and cool to see Channels be self aware and openly talk about their metrics and “behind the scenes”. Even though you only made 10 videos last year, I immediately click when I see you dropped one!

I started collecting back in 2007 and now after watching this video I wish I started collecting back in 2005. Prices were still cheap but not that cheap.

Cheers to 2025 Nick ! 🍻 You’ve been through an awful lot this year. The most important thing about KZbin is definitely having fun. It can be a lot of work, and meaningful work can be fun, but it’s not always fun. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store this year.

I hope the ADHD treatment is okay. My wife keeps telling me that she wants to get diagnosed.

Love the focus on growth and self-reflection, Nick. This is inspiring me to pursue other projects I've been putting off. Good luck to you in 2025!

Glad to see the update and I appreciate the personal touch on everything. Sorry again to hear about Bowser, and I'm glad you've had a lot of great introspection. I'm excited to see what future content you'll have! Good to know someone who is only a couple months older than me - go Class of '01!

Dude, all of our plans for our page went to the toilet in 2024 as well, seemed to hit everyone in one way or another. Here’s to a good 2025 🍻

My condolences to you regarding the dog. I could only imagine the heartache with that situation. Much love man.

You are definitely hitting 10K this year being so close already.

Maybe just film your thoughts about things gaming related, that seems to work for a lot of channels and let's you put out quick and easy videos. Just an idea so you don't have to take weeks to produce a video.

Wow man sounds like you've had a wild year, but overall positive growth. Appreciate the update and hope that the new direction makes you feel better about the channel. I think a cool idea might be a field trip to game stores to see what the what the prices look like. It could act more like an almanac for that year. That way it doesn't become out of a date but almost like a curiosity instead.

2024 was a learning year. Looking forward to implement my skills in 2025! Have a great New Year!

I had the TG16 with the CD rom. Had most all the games. I had a party when I was 20 at my apartment and when I woke up the next morning, all my games and system was gone. And. Owner I want it back, and can't afford it.

The sd card can be up to 2 terabytes if you format it on a pc to fat32

I just want a path of radiance for $150, but I guess that’s too much to ask for.

In December 2002, I won an eBay auction where I purchased a complete copy of Earthbound for $85

"Liking the video helps more people see it, so maybe we can get the price under control that way" Bringing more visibility to a game usually has the opposite effect...

Jason and Zac were sharing this video in our Discord! What a bizarre relic.

I don't know about this guy but my OG gameboy color had a light indicator for low battery.

I wish I could play this I own a pal mega drive but I can't seem to find anyone selling it

I first commented on this video 2 years ago and I’m rewatching this again today. It’s crazy to think that LRG has gotten literally worse since this video was put out. So, I’m pretty sure you saw a post on Twitter recently about Tomba by Nintendo Revised Jeisse. That’s me. I made that post. Where the company lied and Josh lied to us and expressed that the game was not in manufacturing and that the updates would be on the cart. I have the cartridge in my hands. It updates to version 1.0.2. And it has version 1.0.0. Well what’s the problem I hear many ask? This is the problem. When the game came out digitally, version 1.0.0 suffered from game breaking issues. Specifically some users experienced constant freezing and only a hard reboot would fix the issue. Nintendo Life reported on this four months ago. LRG KNEW about this and even acknowledged the comments by saying the cart would have the patch but they flat out lied. The game was already in manufacturing and that’s the reason it has version 1.0.0. Now, to clarify, I’ve played quite a bit of the game and my switch is unaffected by this issue. But there are already reports in their discord stating that the game will freeze on them. Which goes back to what I previously said, that “some” users would be affected. Even if I’m not personally affected, the fact that they knew some would be, and proceeded to print a botched version is ludicrous. Not to mention that many will defend LRG and say, well it’s the devs fault, because they submitted the version build to LRG with the bugs and game breaking issues. Tomba was handled by MVG on the carbon engine which is a LRG engine. So what’s the excuse now? LRG has also been banning people on discord, myself included, for bringing up these issues. They DO NOT care about us. We all need to stand up and say that enough is enough. The lies, the broken games, the delivery issues, and much more that this company has done, enough is enough.

down to $50ish via PriceCharting. going back up.. :v)

I have BVM and PVMs from Sony and Panasonic and they are very nice indeed but I prefer to play on the JVC “iART” consumer grade 32” set I own. It’s big, bright has nice geometry 📐 and flat face glass tube. The sound is fantastic and has RF composite S-video and Component. The speakers 🔊 really kick. Just get a rgb to component converter and you will be a happy camper or use composite. I am thinking of selling most of my pvm and bvm monitors. If you go down the PVM rabbit hole just pick up a 13” pvm and set it on the desk. I think 13” is the sweat spot for most people. Once you are kicking it on the couch it’s time to go with a 32” tv. Oh I have a small flat tube 20” Sony tv from the early 2000’s it’s fantastic. You really don’t need a PVM. I mean think about it. Did any of us use a PVM back in the day?

It was also MindPulp with 300k views. A few weeks ago

My take on graded games is that if you're going to get Nintendo DS,PS2 and OG Xbox games graded as well as anything before those systems then I think that's a great idea but 3ds,Xbox360 PS3,Wii and anything going forward makes zero sense on getting those graded?

If your paying $250 or $350 for Piglets Big Game of all things! You have a mental illness!

Hack you're ps2 to play reproduction copies you can find sellers that make case and all dor you and it's incredible and for the ps3 releases the physical copies are actually pretty affordable especially homecoming but hd collection can be bought new for around 20-30$ still and downpour isn't hard to find for a good price either

I got this for Christmas when it was released and on boxing day I was in Dixons taking it back lol

The price was always the sticking point, but I just bought one this weekend for black friday because it was on sale for $100. That price really made it 100% worth the ask for me. So I'm going to take it, add Windows to it, and make it my own little retro PC/emulator system in my setup dedicated entirely to this stuff. :) It'll be great, I'm excited!

from what I've heard you can do an ordinary Windows installation if you go in the bios and disable the EMC internal storage that AtariOS is on. When it's finished you can turn it back on.

I played this wayyyyy back as a kid. Back in those days there were hardly any video tutorials on it and were hard to find.

How did you only pay $145???

As one of the few who actually grew up with this weird piglet game, it's so surreal to see what felt like a novel and personal experience previously condemned to obscurity to completely blow up online. I see a lot of people asserting this is simply a fad, that the game will drop in price and fade back intro obscurity, but I don't think it will; at least not entirely. While it doesn't hold a candle to your stereotypical grandiose titles of prestigious award, it still remains a genuinely compelling experience, in retrospect to when it came out, and still to this day.

I got this and stil have it scored it at Montgomery Ward

The hidden gem videos across KZbin don’t help. Even Basic games increase in price after such videos

Thank you so much!

I bought my copy of silent hill 2 in 2010 for like $20. It's worth around $150 now
