Exposing the Retro Video Game Market

Update: Statement from Wata games: "We're humbled by the support of our thousands of customers who trust us to provide accurate and transparent grading. The claims in this video are completely baseless and defamatory and it is unfortunate that Mr. Jobst did not contact us to give us the opportunity to correct him."
A recent surge in the value of retro Nintendo video game cartridges is allegedly the result of fraud by grading company Wata Games and collectibles auction company Heritage Auctions, according to one journalist’s exposé.
All year long, mint copies of vintage games like The Legend Of Zelda and the original Super Mario Bros. have been selling at auctions for millions of dollars, shattering world records almost as soon as a new one was set.

Used to be a great channel. Now, it's lame.

[@lydriea]

literally so shitty now lol

[@ZeplinZed]

Crappy music with just text over the video ?

[@AshDemonYoung]

Was this channel bought or something?

[@roberttherriault2294]

You couldn't talk. I don't wanna read a video unless it has captions.

[@mynintendogamingfeed5208]

In this situation, Wata Games & Heritage Auctions are both guilty of this; these games, sealed or otherwise, must be capped at its face value, and not 1% more.

Intresting

[@DrunkSamurai]

Let the scam continue so I can sell my old games.

@DrunkenMaster442 Not me. I didn't even know who Zatoichi was when I made this originally. It was just a dumb name I made when I was like 15 before KZbin even existed.

[@johnsantorawluszki715]

Buying crap. People have too much money and I don't have enough.

Almost 1 year, and I'm still petty enough to dislike every video and give you no view or ad revenue. To everyone wondering, this guy either bought this channel or hacked it so he could steal the subscribers for his lame videos. I hope you only make pennies from your ads.

@@themadmeme Same. Used to be interacting between host and guests in the videos. Now, it's like a longer version of "fun fact tiktok videos".

What a terrible format. Get a voice over, and for the love of God choose a better music for content like this. Thanks.
