Awesome pickups, and thank you for sharing your experience at PRGE.

[@ChronikSpartan]

Glad you got to remake the video buddy, really enjoyed it! Loved seeing you get to hang out with so many of your buddies. Looking forward to when we get to hang out in person 👊

[@jakesmith5278]

Very cool Reggie. Keep up the good work and thanks. Wow. You are nearly 100k subs, freakin' awesome. You deserved it.

[@IntriguedGaming]

Always coming through with some pickups I've never heard of

John! From intrigued gaming!

Love to see your pickups and the knowledge behind them!

Respect reggie a lot of work must go into these videos , such as finding the gameplay.

Portland, OR I remember living there in 2008 but never knew about the Retro Gaming Expo. Now I'm in Michigan and don't know of any around here, maybe Lansing or Saginaw I'd need though.

[@bobafett4265]

Honestly the sealed Graded Video Game market is a bubble that's about to burst thanks to a manipulated market, thanks to WATA and some people who had deep pockets and knew each other. Honestly who wants to pay thousands of dollars for Spider-Man on Atari or a Million dollars for a sealed Super Mario 64 that is among the best selling Nintendo 64 games.

[@RealziesCuts]

It’s a tragedy

[@fezzes428]

somebody watched the karl jobst video

[@thisisstupid6524]

It will continue but not at the prices people were paying. People want to have these to display on their game room or office

[@neatuhfajita9128]

Same comments when the peeps don't understand

[@bobafett4265]

Not to mention I am a bit of a collector on certain "Retro" games and seeing prices skyrocket to dumber and unobtainable means just makes me furious, honestly part of it is due to the Pandemic and also WATA and the whole Graded Games market, honestly I would be fine if a lot of these games were easily accessible these days but it ain't and only more recently companies have realized that making their back catalog available on modern systems pays for itself, like seriously the Silent Hill games have skyrocketed in value to the point they aren't worth the hundreds of dollars people keep asking and charging for, I was lucky to have snagged them all before they became increasingly difficult to acquire.

[@matthewbown1072]

Great video dude ,and great pickups. I remember Operation Wolf on my first console the Master System,loved playing that with the phaser.Have you heard about Operation Wolf Returns,check it out

[@dan_evilrobot]

I sill collecting NES games, once a while in a good day I'll found a complete box that I really want add to my collection.

[@johnpena1754]

Freaking loved going to my local gamecrazy store.... always preferred it from gamestops at the time... picked up a lot of rpgs that are rare now.

[@mediaglitch]

Great video, man. Reggie, I owned Operation wolf for the NES, and you can 100 percent play it with the light gun. I promise, That Snk heroines collection looks great.

[@The_RadicalOne]

I guess the zapper I used was broken 😅Thanks for stopping by the channel bro.

[@spockhozzer7207]

@@The_RadicalOne which port was the zapper plugged into? It might need to be plugged in the player 2 port

[@silverian]

Nice to see Cooper from Double Jump Video Games! Great to see PRGE footage! Great pickups and gameplay footage!

[@HallowedBeThyGame]

It's devastating when a video gets completely lost. Thanks for putting this together! I'm hoping to fly out to PRG in the future, looks so friggin fun! Fight'n Rage is so sick! Happy you're getting in the swing of it. 7th Dragon 3 is one of my FAVORITE jrpgs on 3ds! So friggin hyped you picked it up! It was one of my last 3ds games I picked up as well. The party building system is so bangin and the music is fantastic!

[@frankgonzales115]

"There's something I could've used that dollar for. " What an amazingly funny, yet accurate, line. 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 It was awesome to meet u there and to see ur panel!!!

“Windows had an error.” A tale as old as time.

Yeah, ruined my whole weekend.

[@BudgetGamingAndCollecting]

It's awesome seeing Game Crazy. I remember getting my copy of Twilight Princess there for GameCube.

[@sirlatinofire]

Amazing pick ups video! I wish I knew about the PS Vita early in. Now some prices on these games are very expensive!

[@sdzero]

Thanks for making this video, Reggie! It helps take my mind off the difficulties of life.

[@TheMultiGunMan]

This is a great video. Thank you for posting it.

[@dutchgameboy8097]

I always feel you guys in the States have way more choice in systems and games then we have in Europe , always makes me a bit jealous 😅 Would be cool to visit the PRGE some day. Awesome vid Reg! Thanks for taking us on a tour and see what you picked up

[@josephbradshaw6985]

I think we do, because in the 90's it seems like Europe went more into computers and such for gaming? Also, man, this is PRGE, it's one of the best expos in the world.

[@colinspotswood9893]

Try living in Australia!

[@theoldpcgamer77]

@@josephbradshaw6985 You are thinking of the 80's. The 90's was a console era. I'm talking UK though not mainland Europe.

[@josephbradshaw6985]

@@theoldpcgamer77 Ah, like the ZX and Commodore, right? I was thinking of myself, for me the 80's was consoles, Atari and NES, and the 90's was my PC.

[@theoldpcgamer77]

@@josephbradshaw6985 Early 80's was a lot of 8 bit home computers, including those two you mentioned plus others. The NES just wasn't something we bothered with as it looked terrible and the graphics were worse than ST or Amiga. Then later 80's was Atari ST and Amiga. Once the Megadrive and SNES hit then home computers died for most people here. PC obviously Is a separate market and I used both in the later 90's once Voodoo 2 gpus hit the market.

[@supervegeto7448]

I cannot believe what I am seeing it with my eyes! LOOL TY SO MUCH!

[@brendanroberts1310]

Great to see these conventions back, must go to one at some point.

[@sasquatchintime]

That Ikari Warriors dancin' soldiers scene had me laughing along with you. Reminds me of the Rasputin scene from The King's Man. Great video Reggie!

[@Mr_Zel]

Road trip to double jump video games would be a solid video .. they always have a good selection of games , would be a sick collab

[@wyattschult9257]

Cooper and abbey at double jump are the most genuine people there is. They are good for the sake of being good. Every time I go in there it’s more then just games. They ask how my family has been we show picture of our kid that’s growing up so fast. Real environment, with invested people.

[@adamh7588]

Great show and pick ups. Some amazing stuff on show. I remember when Blockbuster opened up here in the UK

[@estebangonzalez6068]

Man, I’d love to go to one of these. Thanks for redoing the video Reggie. Great stuff.

[@bobafett4265]

23:00 Air Fortress looks to be a fun time and developed by Hal Laboratory no less which were known for more than Kirby like New Ghostbusters 2.

[@russellfraser1922]

Awesome video Reggie and please please convince Metal Jesus to check out Coopers store. They deserve all the success in the world. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦

Super Coop!

[@DominiqueDeMann]

I just got into collecting for the NES so it's funny you mentioned it. I ignored that system for years, I'm moving away from disc based consoles. I'll continue to buy a disc here and there for the PS4.

[@davidkozma5638]

I always look forward to these videos

[@RealSB83]

You are the walking embodiment of PRGE. Love your videos Reggie

[@AmericanMe]

There definitely is no Game Crazy here in Portland anymore I believe they are in Salem Oregon an hour south of us here in Portland. Which I only just am now figuring out 🤯

[@srod6396]

Yes they are in salem on commercial I go there at least a couple times a month....another good game store in salem is retro next door

[@tricycloplots21]

Love your videos! Wish I would have known you were in Portland - my girlfriend and I had so much fun at this event!

AMAZING video‼️🔥✊ I hope you make it out to as many conventions as you can so that we can check out how they went and see all your dope pickups ‼️💯👍

[@cyberrider1765]

nice one Reggie! Have an amazing weekend

[@IMP3TIGO]

Great video Reggie. I went to the PRGE this year for the first time and it was a blast. The arcade area on Friday was fun because it was less crowded than on Saturday. Not a collector so I only bought a couple of games for the kids but playing all those old games on the actual 20-40 year old consoles was super cool.

[@RetroGamePlayers]

Great footage dude, wish I could've gone. Yeah boxed N64 games are super pricey actually.

[@chuckd.68]

Never heard of New Wave toys, I think they’re awesome! Glad I checked out the vid 🙏🏼

[@johnpena1754]

Im still collecting NES games but only RPG's ,and NES games i like from series of games i love... like Metal Gear.

[@loco_Fox]

Love these retro hunting travelling vlogs..so good

[@snoozy04]

So many good pick ups, thanks for sharing :)

[@davidrin3566]

Hi Reggie! To answer your question, yes I still collect NES. The fact that there is less competition lately has bought some of the prices down a little depending on what you are getting. With that said, I also like collecting Famicom games as well. Recently (in addition to some really cool Super Famicom games, Hagane, Bahamut Lagoon and Gundam Wing: Endless Duel), I've picked up GI Joe, Castle of Dragon, Star Tropics, Defender of the Crown, NARC, Bump n Jump, Adventure of Valkyrie and Lupin III.

[@michaeldemers2716]

Don't forget that D-Fuzed for Gameboy Color from Incube8 Games is going to finally be available this month. I can't wait to receive my copy. I ordered months ago.

[@BigChunkySkates]

Glad you went back to fight’n rage, it’s god like, just takes some getting used to. There are hidden moves you can look up online not mentioned anywhere in the game. And damn I thought I was the only one who liked SNK heroins, it’s so under appreciated.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Great haul of pick-ups 'bro! Here in NY I don't know of anything like that over here. Here they make vinyls records fairs and conventions which I'm not into. Thanks for showing your adventures at PRGE for those of us who can't go. Good showing and cool video Reggie!👉😃👈

[@GundamrussGaming]

Great pickups. I hope I can make it across the ocean one day to visit the Expo :)

[@TheDrisk]

nice video. and interesting to see a US expo compared to a UK one. Great pickups though, that van helsing on the GBA looked interesting, not tried that version.

[@johnboydojo]

Kira Kira Star Night DX looks great for a NES game! Love the parallax scrolling! Seeing Halo 2 hooked up via Lan brought back memories! And that Hitachi Multimedia Sega Saturn is Crazy rare! Think they only came out in South Korea! Some great finds Reggie! Cool Video!

Great video Reggie! Thank you for the experience! I don't collect NES or Sega games! I collect games for PS One, PS2, PS3 (trying to complete), PS4, PSVR, PS5. Original XBox, Xbox 360, Xbox One exclusive games only, Nintendo GC, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Switch exclusive games only, Sega Dreamcast exclusive games only.

[@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319]

Just to help clarify since you were trying to figure it out, Ecks vs. Sever is a licensed game based on the Antonio Banderas/Lucy Liu movie Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever from the early 00's.

[@exzisd]

Loved this video Reggie. Seems like you have lost videos a few times and still made them. I know how frustrating that can be and props to you for staying motivated to make the videos. I have a lot of ideas I'd love to send to you for your channel but I love the content man. You have a lot of knowledge about games and a unique taste that you don't see anywhere else on KZbin that I really think you do a great job of covering. One idea that I think I have is to invite a friend on like Jason or Ex to talk about YOUR pickups in a more conversational style like a podcast. I love the pickups you and Jason do and watch them repeatedly and I like your big pickups videos too. I think when you are with Jason it brings a different energy to the video and you guys have a great chemistry. I've noticed you and Ex (X?) also have a great chemistry and both make great videos; like your recent coverage of Pink Gorilla being robbed. If you and X talked about the games you bought I think it would create a new dynamic and bring a different energy to the pickups videos. I'm not talking about filming yourself or anything extra like that but if you have seen the channel Switchup where they talk about a handful of new Switch games in a very laid back podcast style it works great and it seems a lot of viewers are enjoying that kind of pseudo-podcast style where it's not hours long like a podcast but it's more like 30-45 minutes long. Just some ideas that I would love to see but regardless love the channel and I'll keep watching.

[@exzisd]

Came back just to drop another line. This video deserves more views. I'm going to share it on Twitter.

[@newgameaaaa]

To answer your question about collecting Nes stuff, I only collected Nes stuff when it was super cheap which was when the SNES and PS1 N64 was out. Games were $0.05 (mario/duck hunt) to about $5. That is when I got most of my Nes games.

[@jameswalsh292]

[@jonnycoyote2782]

[@frankie0414]

Operation Wolf DOES use the NES Zapper. I've had a few friends complain that the Zapper doesn't work at all though, so maybe certain models don't work or need to be cleaned up well before they work with the game. \

[@michaeldemers2716]

Are they putting the gun in the player two controller port? It would also matter what kind of television they played on as well. I am sure they knew that though.

[@frankie0414]

@@michaeldemers2716 Yeah, it was very bizzare. Everything was plugged in correctly and the Zapper worked with Duck Hunt, but not Operation Wolf. I'm guessing that the mechanism inside was malfunctioning beyond what that specific game would accept.

[@rj5485]

Outro was fire 🔥

[@WillyTung]

I had to work so hard to hunt for deals this time. Could not enjoy the arcade as much as I would've liked. Did end up getting a good chunk of stuff but yeah... Tough.

[@thomassmith4467]

lol. The prices were insane. What’s weird is no one is talking about it? It’s like some sort of third rail conspiracy. I’m sorry, but no retro game is worth 30 dollars to me, let alone 100 dollars or 500 for a loose earthbound. Haha. It’s brain damage to pay anywhere near the prices that are being asked. I grew up, sold all my stuff in 2010 and went handheld emulation and never looked back. What’s happened in the past 12 years is mental illness.

[@WillyTung]

@@thomassmith4467 I'm not even talking about high prices. I was just talking about people cutting something like 15% off :(

[@b6rzby295]

Still working on my wii u complete set. I think I've got less than 30 games left to get but it's gonna be a slow go since it's pretty much the pricier games left.. Great video Reggie!

[@jhauer2935]

I noticed hardly any of the loose NES stuff moved

[@johnpinky8]

Dang, wish I could've gone! Unfortunately I don't collect as much as I used it. It just became too competitive recently with prices so I've resorted to flash carts for the older systems. I just like to play games, have no interest in value besides enjoyment haha. Great video Reggie, hope to meet you some day.

[@Videogamelover58]

Great pickups

[@michaeldemers2716]

I don't collect for NES but I do collect for the Famicom. I have the Famicom Toploader with a Rad2X Cable. I also have the Feihao HDMI Famicom handheld from Ali-Express. I often have games made from a friend in Poland for thirty five dollars a piece. I have an Everdrive N8 Pro but I can't use that on the handheld. I have to use the KryzsioCart Flashcart from Ebay for that. I will be having L'Abbaye Des Morts made next I think. I enjoy it.

[@kupomogli]

@Radical Reggie Fight N' Rage has AI controlled allies. So whenever you play through and complete a game, you get points where you can unlock characters through broken 1v1 Double Dragon versus mode and other options which includes AI allies.

NES games seem to have taken a dip. I'm finding that not many people are collecting for it right now

[@michaeldemers2716]

I have 2 Super Gameboy 2's. You can link for any 2 player games or link up 4 of them for 4 player games. Some games you don't even need extra systems like Wario Blast, and most of the Fighting games. Try playing a friend with just the Super Gameboy with two controllers. It will work with no extra stuff or hassle. Like Street Fighter for instance. Check it out.

To answer your next questions, do I collect complete sets for a certain system? I never collected for that reason, however I do have a lot of Wii and DS games. I don't plan on collecting a complete set for those. I collect what I think I would like to play and if the price is right for me.
