These 25 Xbox 360 Games Increased the Most in 5 months [Retronomics]

[@SuperNicktendo]

Let me know what you think of the new format. Am I missing any stats? I plan on making one on the PS2 next!

[@joeyisabsb1]

With how many ppl that are interested in these kinds of things im shocked you don't get a lot more views.

[@SuperNicktendo]

Yeah it's puzzling. I think most of it has to do with timing. I have a full time job so I can't turn these episodes out before the topic gets saturated. But the people who do know about it enjoy them and that's good enough for me

[@warehousedave7937]

@@joeyisabsb1 very disappointing

[@GabrielAlcala956]

@@SuperNicktendo Maybe because I am not getting these videos in my recommended. I am literally watching this video for the 1st time rn!

[@SuperNicktendo]

@@GabrielAlcala956 yeah it's weird. Sometimes KZbin will stop recommending if you don't watch every single video. It's frustrating on my end, but as a viewer I shouldn't have to remember to type a creator to see if they uploaded a video if I'm already subscribed to them. Thats why I subscribed. So I can watch their videos lol

[@dustinpiper9322]

I for one enjoy these retronomics videos very much. I know alot of numbers and homework go into making these so it takes alot of time but totally worth it and i appreciate the content

[@SuperNicktendo]

Thanks for that! I'm always looking for ways to make these videos easier to produce because I know a lot of people enjoy them.

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

I bought Wet for $7 2 years ago. I was talking to a buddy and he said Wet was going for $70 - $80 which seems nuts to me

[@albertocamacho2261]

Actually thanks to your last xbox 360 video, I got a bunch of games for super cheap before they skyrocketed! so thanks! love the video.

[@SuperNicktendo]

Glad to hear that!

[@nintendozilla9843]

I spend so much money these past several months on video games from the Xbox 360 store. 72 games in total. It's sad to know that the store closing this month, but all good things must come to an end.

[@PKInTheUniverse]

Nice job on this video . I feel like there was the right amount of information here to keep me hooked, but you didn’t overstay you’re welcome. I kind of figured there would be a bunch of games where the prices don’t increase on Xbox 360 just because so many of them are multi plats.

[@SuperNicktendo]

Thanks! I always feel like I'm phoning it in, but at the end of the day I want to make more of these and have fun making them

[@lenk8374]

This is the most underrated channel on KZbin

[@SuperNicktendo]

Appreciate that. I'm always trying to improve!

[@MrCoffeeMrRadar]

Nice video but felt a lot shorter than your others. I would say maybe when you showing your graphics you can populate those empty spots with the cover art of the games?

[@SuperNicktendo]

I'm trying to make more of these and the previous format was a royal pain to make often. I'll mess around with the graphics but I don't want to make it too busy

[@MrCoffeeMrRadar]

@@SuperNicktendo I understand about the graphs, for me I just remember my journo teacher always telling us never leave space empty fill it with something.

[@nubatman]

I didn't know there was an interest in Velvet Assassin. I bought a loose copy last year since that and new were the only listings I could find.. During my search, that is. I did cash out on my NCAA 13 and 14. It wasn't so much of the drop, but more of my start toward decluttering.

[@SuperNicktendo]

Yeah that was surprising.

[@rjbishop6128]

Velvet Assassin is definitely one that had little to no interest for 15 years, strange when people suddenly want them.

[@xman777b]

always enjoy your non-Nintendo coverage. Thank you.

[@titusrhodes]

Don't quit keep GOING!

[@warehousedave7937]

Please don't quit, Nick

[@Patrick-tw7nr]

These types of videos are good for collectors and also show which way certain games trend over a period of time.

[@SuperNicktendo]

Yeah hopefully now that I can make these easier more people will be able to find them

[@scotthayes6551]

Holy cow, I got a mostly decent copy of wet from an eBay bid (i was the only bidder) back in December, CIB for $5 with $3 shipping. Can't believe the price hike. I also bought ultimate alliance gold with no scratches or anything CIB in September '23 for $99. These prices are nuts. Also last week got brand new GH World Tour guitar and game for $117 which I thought was great considering the price increases in OG guitars alone.

[@AveryKiwi]

Really wish people would stop buying into this FOMO. Just like the 3ds and Wii U, prices will go back down.

[@thiefamongu3857]

I don't think so. These prices rely heavily on nostalgia which equals demand. The wii u and 3ds are not nostalgic yet, so that's why a lot of prices calmed down, but even then good luck finding most of that library for as cheap as it was before the store closing down. With xbox 360, the store is closing plus nostalgia is coming in all at the same time, so the 360 library will be all over the place like ps2. Some games will calm down, some won't. Highly doubt games like marvel ultimate alliance gold or 50 cent blood on the sand will ever be below 100 dollars ever again

[@barbsfpv3066]

You vastly underestimate the nostalgia factor. There’s more and more people coming back to the 360 every day. The PS2 has the same nostalgia factor as the 360 and the prices are still crazy for some titles, even though the initial surge was over a year ago.

[@JTSuter]

Some of those games that increased 200% or more were being hawked and advertised on a variety of KZbin “collector” channels earlier this year, and they are terrible games such as Fatal Inertia and Fist of the North Star Ken’s Rage 2. Absolutely not worth even owning let alone for over $100 in my opinion. There’s just too many people *suffering* from FOMO. But, if you want a complete set, you gotta get them all I suppose.

[@warehousedave7937]

I liked fatal inertia when I played it 10 years ago. Wouldn't say it's a bad game.

[@SuperNicktendo]

Would you say it's $120 good?

[@JTSuter]

@@SuperNicktendo haha, definitely not! Back down to $15 and $60 respectively where they belong.

[@warehousedave7937]

@@SuperNicktendo maybe $20 good, $100 rare. It's clearly not like a Silent Hill 2 whose price is composed of $120 good and $0 rare. ...but at least it's not a Veggy World which is $0 good and $$$ rare.

[@oOignignoktOo1]

Smart people would just RGH their consoles and avoid paying outrageous prices from scumbag resllers. Also with RGH you can play digital only stuff that's been delisted that you can't acquire physically.

[@jcchaconjr]

Whew! I’m glad I got pretty much everything I wanted well over 5 years ago, and most of that from scouring all my local GameStops within a 2 county area, so pricing wasn’t bad, especially when they had used game offers and my member discount while they had that. Sure there are a few I’d like to get, but like everything, prices always fluctuate, so if I see an opportunity down the road, I’ll get it.

[@bamitsoff]

more retronomic videos please, need updates on all consoles!

[@SuperNicktendo]

@@bamitsoff working on them! Glad you like the series

[@tonyhell234]

I'm fine paying a few premium prices for the games that had license issues, like spiderman, and wolverine because i know the price will rise with time, and i genuinely love they gameplay, story and AAA attention to detail, but for games like fatal inertia, hells vengeance, bullet witch and the saw games which honestly have very bad gameplay i don't understand the hype and price rises. I'm starting to fill my collection, but I'm only doing facebook and thrift store buys, for 5-10$ a game still.

[@stevenewsome5306]

I didn’t even know the 360 store was even open so 😂

[@vensakarakorwien5768]

here is the big problem with price charting. The only thing it can properly track is the price for new copies and even then, there are seller capable to list as "new" something that was already opened or was not opened but is damaged. As for the used copies, unless we literally talk about disc + artwork (some titles close to the end of 360 were released like that), then price charting will take anything that has that magical CIB wording on the top. And we all know that it is not always the case. (sellers are capable to list something as complete, even if something is missing. Add to the mix also the condition of the item and pricing will actually show seemingly lower price than what is the actual price in majority of new listings. As for collector editions, this is even way more prevalent. It could be complete but with heavy damaged items or it could be listed as complete with something missing (for example the game itself). If you add to the mix that some maybe sell only 3-5 per year, that condition of the item can heavily influence the price optics. For example AC Brotherhood Platinum edition. When you check actual history of CIB game (at least identified as such), You will hit some listings with stock images and also a listing where it is further down stated that manual is not guaranteed. Yet they were taken into CIB pricing calculations and this have lowered real market price of a CIB version of the game. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII - that one is even a bigger lol - first sold listing is not complete (collector watch is missing), next 2 listings are just for the steelbook, so no wonder they are cheap. There is only 1 listing sold in 2024 as CIB with the collector watch. So if those incomplete and should not be there listings are calculated, then no wonder that the price would seemingly drop, even if no such thing has happened. So yes I do get it, you took statistics from price charting, and while they are relatively decent for frequently sold products, it will struggle with CIB versions as well as with rarely sold items. That is why sadly those last 2 tables (biggest drop by $ and %), may be heavily compromised and thus not showing the real market situation.

[@dustanglx50]

Never had an Xbox at all until I bought a used 500g blue 360 E 1 year ago. I made a list of "must haves" and "hidden gems" I bought everything on my list before the spike except a couple, Onechanbara and Venetica, both have risen significantly.

[@user-tv5hl8zu9s]

I'm going to keep watching your videos all of the time

[@leeokami1021]

It's a lot of fomo and people like Mr. Wright Way making panic buying videos

[@kdogg7882]

If you take out collectors editions and consoles the remaining games are trash. It’s all fueled by KZbin paranoia

[@TotalMeltdown2]

The 100 dollars for Fiddy Cent Blood on The Sand is still 100% not worth it lol

[@SuperNicktendo]

Do you think Xbox 360 prices will fall?

[@johnwilkesbidoof2207]

Definitely Everyone who actually cared about the 360 bought these games years ago, it’s just a missive FOMO thing cause of resellers and KZbinrs hyping these games up. Most of them suck anyways like Fatal Inertia, Fist of The North Star Kens Rage 2, and Bullet Witch The 3ds had the same issue and now most of the games are dropping in value heavily because everyone moved on to the 360

[@Patrick-tw7nr]

I believe some games will go down from their current prices while some will go up even more. It really depends on supply demand of the games being sought after etc. What will not happen is games that you were able to buy for 10-20 dollars a couple of years ago like say Bullet Witch, Culdcept Saga and Operation Darkness won’t ever go back down to that price ever.

[@thiefamongu3857]

​@johnwilkesbidoof2207 it's not as black and white as that. 3ds still isn't nostalgic yet, but 360 is plus store closing down at the same time. Some games will go back down, a lot will not. Look at the ps2 library, you still can't get a lot of games for a fair price. It's all over the place. It depends on which games you're talking about instead of the whole library

[@thiefamongu3857]

​@@Patrick-tw7nrexactly, the genuinely rare games will never go back down. Common games will keep a steady price and uncommon games are very unpredictable

[@peeeeeeete1]

Man, been trying to get a copy of Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 for a few years, but the price just keeps going up.

[@RedCowArcade]

[@XeCuTioNR]

What's more expensive than F1 2013? El Chavo Kart or Asterix at the Olympic Games? Or is F1 2013 holding on to that position?

[@SuperNicktendo]

It's currently the highest

[@NintendoPizzaKing]

I have the PC app, but how are you able to get the deeper analytics?

[@MrGodzilla90]

I got Infernal for $16 on eBay last year, gonna trade it in for Mario Party 3 😅

[@AndrewDenny-Tassielad]

F1 2013, currently $20 in Australia, obviously not many released in NTSC format?

[@SuperNicktendo]

Yeah the NTSC version is apparently pretty rare

[@rjbishop6128]

Probably linked to the big increase in US F1 interest the last 5 years, too.

[@Bird-Birdy-Love]

Pretty much anything that is already high will only get higher. For example i just bought splatterhouse (ps3) for 80 dollars and i know it is only going to go higher as it is that rare, so if you really have anything you want that is already hard to find and expensive get it while you still can as it will only be more expensive donw the road/

[@georgehernandez2156]

The price's are going down again. Dark messiah was going around $50 and now its $30

[@stevestars2966]
