I'm begging for the market bubble to burst... please I just want to own Pokemon HGSS without selling my kidneys.

[@antdue1018]

I feel you man I wanted to buy a copy of pokemon emerald but no way on gods green earth I am forking $230+ for it. I also find bs is that many resellers are saying that it's hard to find nowadays. It never was difficult since they sell millions and they use that excuse to jack up the price. Hopefully the bubble pops and investors("gamers") loose money in their collection

[@yellowblanka6058]

Just buy a flash cart/use an emulator etc. - it's not like a penny of that $230 is going to the original developers, you're just enriching a hideously bloated retro market.

[@antdue1018]

@yellowblanka6058 At this point yea lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@yellowblanka6058]

@@antdue1018 Yeah, I really don't understand people getting on a moral high horse about using original copies, not a penny of which is going to the original developers making the purchase ethically no different from just downloading a ROM. If publishers aren't going to offer these games in a modern digital form, and the demand is there, people are going to download them.

[@antdue1018]

@yellowblanka6058 I understand where your coming from though. It's really easy to emulate retro games nowadays heck I even do it as well on my original consoles but maybe it's the fact that it feels good having a physical copy in your collection to play it like when it was new. I played retro games in 2017 when it was affordable since it was for people that don't have enough money for the new gen consoles and their games.

There really should be some kind of legal precedent that allows for piracy when the companies that own these games literally do not provide ANY path to legally obtain/purchase these games for a reasonable price.

Generally that's what a abandonwere is, games and softwares that can't be purchased by no means, but having a more substantial precedent would do wonders, by me if the owner of a game franchise don't give access and use the game in any way for years, it should enter the public domain.

good video! As someone who's been collecting retro games on a budget for like 15 years now, the market is so inflated it sucks. It's hard to pinpoint one single issue, but going to Japan recently it puts thing into perspective. I think America has such a toxic opportunist mindset: You are on this planet to make as much money as possible and use every avenue to make that money. The dude pheonixresale you were clipping in your video's slogan is "opportunity is everywhere". Funny cute way of saying ""markets to take advantage of are everywhere" When mottos like that are spewed around, it becomes a rat-race. I recently saw a dude and his son having a wonderful family bonding moment at goodwill, sitting their butts on the dirty floor looking up every game in the store on ebay. It's no fun for the average collecting anymore. And part of a resellers job is to make it less fun. They will always be at odds on a fundamental level. A casual collectors bottom line is at odds with a resellers bottom line. Which is fine, its natural. Just sucks to see the resellers winning.

I think Americans are more nostalgic for old games than the Japanese. Also, Japanese houses tend to be smaller, so there’s less room for old consoles & games.

Ironically enough toy collecting is in the same thing, I collect beyblades and stuff from the plastic stuff from the 2000s to like the newest release and lemme tell you, post plague these have been going up to ridiculous prices. Some of the later released metal fury stuff by Hasbro is going for upwards of 200-350 which is insane 😭. Instead to help ease the cries of those who wanted to actually own these beys people are making reproductions for a fraction of the cost

That really sucks... even more honestly because you can't emulate a toy.

[@thecampingyeen2524]

@@RenniUltraFox yea its a bit hard, especially getting the older stuff. but there is a bright side, people are just saying "screw it if the toy companies arent gonna make it lets do it" so there are dedicated fans who make reproductions of the rarest products to help give those in need for it, we are talking the closest 1:1 repro, which is honestly something i never expected tbh, stuff like the rare stadiums, the older metal stuff from 2005, leave it to the fans when the companies don't do shit. also great vid btw forgot to say that

Same with monster high. The Gen 1 Dolls aren't even that old and a lot of them were made, yet online listings and even second stores sell them as "rare" and "vintage" with 50-100 dollar pricetags.

@@misxa6344 my sister collects monster high stuff as well and told me about the price gauging that happens with em

I am so thankful for emulation moreso than i ever was before. Emulation is the people's way to play retro games. if Renni, then only UltraFox!

[@WallMeat89]

You absolutely nailed this. Also, watching someone open a sealed copy of Solatorobo is cathartic.

That was an unboxing video I recorded over a decade ago!

Same history, i used to collect a lot of retro games, specially SNES and GameBoy around 2008 until 2013, when prices were pretty neat, that year i sold literally everything because modern life requires hard choises, i feel the same, dead inside, kinda sad, but eventualy i forgot that because life keeps moving so i am. A couple years ago i started again, getting consoles again only to find that prices got waaaaaaay over the usual, my solution? (And pretty sure the same solution for many cuties), Everdrives (Or flashcarts), i just want to play games, not being broken hahaha Pretty cool video Renni! i just found your channel and you have really good content too, cheers!

[@ChromaNyan]

i just don't bother buying physical copies of old games anymore. there's this one lair owned by someone who happens to be named vimm...

Spotted the Sta bonito in the end 👀

This is why i've just resorted to piracy now. I'm tired, man

The moment I realized this was when a cool retro game store close to where I use to live sadly closed down.

[@kirby1474]

I just want to say i found your channel today. And I have binged all of your most recent stuff. It is so good I just want more. you are doing a great job.
