As a 50 year old gamer ive still got my fair share of Gamecube games from launch and have collected a few more along the years.But i decided to slow down collecting and move on to newer consoles once the absurd prices started to rise.All of those Resi games you were looking at have been remade into far better looking and better quality versions eg ps3,ps4 etc so i sold my gamecube resi`s to fund the newer versions.Dont get me wrong i love my 2 gamecubes and there are games i love and would never sell ,but as ive got older ive realised life is short so why not enjoy the games you love rather than buying or worrying about the prices of game etc ,you cant take games with you when you kick the bucket and go to video game heaven just enjoy yourself while your still here.

Since Steven Lee left Nintendo in 2011 (hewas the main guy behind the great N64 emulation on Wii), Nintendo seemingly struggles with emulating N64 games right. It appears that for each game, Nintendo has to specifically tweak their emulator so it runs just one specific game as best as possible - it takes more time with the commercial emulator they have than we think to get out quality re-releases. That's why I think that we'll get less in this regard with future Nitnendo consoles. MVG made a video (titled "Nintendo used to be GOOD at N64 Emulation...what happened?") in which he tries to explain why N64 Emulation got bad. I'm just kinda referencing some stuff from this video, mixing that information with my thoughts and try to draw my own conclusions, just so you know.

If someone could sell their copy of Mario Sunshine online for double what the shop is offering, why would they sell it to the shop? So the shop has to raise their offer which forces them to raise their prices to the consumer. This also puts a lot of pressure on the shop, since if the bubble bursts they're stuck holding the bag.

I have been having a blast lately with the Castlevania Advance Collection and I put my money where my mouth is - I'm willing to pay for these games to play them on my switch. But if a company doesn't give me the option I can either spend serious amounts of cash finding original hardware and games OR more likely I'm putting on my pirate hat.

@@Tom-jw7ii The issue is the markets _are_ inexplicably tied by the ignorant. Some dude sees a 1.5 million dollar sealed Mario, so they put their worn cartridge up with their ratty box for $250, because "look, comes with box"... It's unrealistic, but you get a shift in the overall perception of value. I've seen it happen time and time again, even with KZbinrs. A prominent channel talks about some obscure device, and suddenly 10000 people go search for it, and 10 maybe even buy the thing, and suddenly there is an artificial demand that can linger for as long as said video gets its rounds through the algorithm. Those bursts of activity can have long spanning influences on buying history and what sellers set their initial prices to. Look at the video itself (I forget if first or second vid), but where they show the newspaper clippings surrounding the late 1980s coin speculative market bubble. Even back then, without the internet, and without ebay, it _STILL_ had a massive impact on hobby collectors, including those at the bottom end. Pause on the article and read it. They talk about coin collectors clubs losing as much as 1/3 of their membership, and how the proliferation of graded coins really screwed with haggling and cause values to pull away from the bottom, making the low end more expensive. This is not a new thing. people as individuals tend to be rather unpredictable, but take that chaos at a large scale, and overall human behavior becomes disturbingly predictable... These market bubbles always generate the same sorts of results, and it only focuses money into the hands of the early investors that started the bubble inflating. The small guy and the late guy especially, suffer the most. Don't try to pass off what really ought to be considered criminal market manipulation for just another casualty of the pandemic. the video _features_ newspaper evidence that history is only repeating itself. That's _why_ this kind of market manipulation led to fines over three decades ago. it should lead to fines and criminal charges today!

Part of the issue with legally emulating games is that, unless its a first-party title and under a studio that you own, getting the rights to resell them is nigh impossible. Twenty years of studio shutdowns, shuffling, buyouts, and whatnot can cause a migraine trying to figure out who even OWNS the rights now. And then you have to figure out if the current owner even wants to allow the game to be re-released. Or if they have some quirk in how they want to handle said game. Just as an example, several years back there was a studio trying to push for a remaster of the original *No One Lives Forever* (a great parody on 60's/70's spy thrillers), and while they had tracked down all the other studios that owned pieces of the IP, Warner Brothers, the last publisher that owned the final pieces of the rights, turned them down at the last second with no explanation. That killed the project then & there. This is just part of the problem at large with video game preservation.

The only other thing you gotta worry about is on some games the label peels off because of a bad batch of paint or something like that But that's only limited to certain games like Enter The Matrix and Resident Evil 4 Players Choice. Just be sure to store them in their cases and out of sunlight and extreme temperatures. That way you shouldn't have any problems out of your GameCube Disc Collection!

@@Nahobinoah I mean he wouldn't be wrong. Games nowadays aren't trying g to innovate, get released broken n have the mentality of fixing it later instead of having a work out of the gate. Even nintendo is starting to do this with the new pokemon games not even released with full content on cartidge.

@@Moe_Lester_fromUptwn They said it was the "last" console they loved. Not the "only" console. PS2 is almost 3 full years older than the GC. Plus, even if they said it was their favorite, why are you correcting them? It's completely an opinion.. 🤣

With Mario party super stars I have been trying to complete my collection of Mario party games. I already have 7 but getting the rest of the GameCube games from 4-6 cost so damn much. I really wish there was a way to just buy GameCube games on switch. I really don't want a subscription service of GameCube but even that I will take at this point.

Dolphin emulator. That’s the easiest way to play GameCube games without spending an arm and a leg. Makes me glad that I received my system for Christmas back in 2001 when it came out. I have pretty much all the games I want.

GameCube has always been the most nostalgic console for me, I was starting to buy systems and games in anticipation of the 20th anniversary but the pricing is so ridiculous especially in this terrible economy, I resorted to buying an OG Xbox and dozens of games for the price of one or two gamecube games. Xbox as a brand has been the most consumer friendly this gen after being the laughingstock of last gen. Preservation is one of the most important things to me, and on that front Xbox is absolutely dominating Sony and Nintendo that never seemed to care about their legacy content.

I bought a GameCube with gc loader and 350 games installed, using an sd card. Plays very well, convenient and knocks out 350 games I don’t need to buy. I have over 1500 games and find myself going to modded consoles for a variety of reasons. Prices, space in my home and mainly convenience.

I consider myself lucky when it comes to the GameCube. I was born in 2002, so the Wii was my first console. However, when I got into Nintendo history, my cousin who’s about fifteen years or so older than me literally just handed me his old GameCube and all of his games. Of course, I still occasionally buy more games, but I’m super thankful to him for giving me a head start in my GameCube collection.

Nintendo's strategy is to create Artificial Scarcity. This allows it to generate inflated profits over multiple generations of consoles from the same IP. This approach has been successful in other industries like Fashion (ex: the Supreme brand). Nintendo occupies different economic space from Microsoft, which is why they play nice, but is vulnerable to technological innovations like GamePass and emulators, which is why they crack down on ROM sites.

I see the WiiU being more of Nintendo's Dreamcast but the GC itself actually got a fair share of ports, just like the XBOX did.
