Thank you all so much for deciding to click on this video and for the incredible support! It means so much to me. Please check out my latest Community tab post if you have any questions about me or my channel! :)

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

This whole damn market is why I set sail for the seven seas. Those land lubbers think they can snatch me hard earned doubloons? Not on my watch.

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. How can a company get frustrated when they are literally the ones who could change this situation at any time? Ugh

Wild Woody is on Sega CD but not the Switch, clearly Sega CD is the superior console.

12:58 IS THAT A REFERENCE TO SUPER WARIO MAN, THE LATINO LOQUENDO KZfaqR IN HIS MOST ICONIC PHRASE?!

>cute girl avatar >it’s a woman Gru: *Its a cute Gorl!!*

A few years ago, my house was broken into. They stole my lifelong collection of video games and electronics. I have not played a video game since.

and people always ask why they pirate their games rather than just going to the store and paying big moolah for a copy of some game nobody's heard of

>cute girl avatar >it's a girl the good ending

"supply and demand" - the guy who has had 17 copies of luigi's mansion rotting on his shelf for 7 years with 350 dollar price tags,

i remember getting metroid prime and kirby air ride at 2nd and charles for like DIRT CHEAP by accident when the prices said like “$45” and “$80” and then they rung up for like $12-15 when i got them, i swear i felt like the luckiest mf when that happened, TWICE for that matter

After watching this I just remembered how Nintendo actually has a section on their website on how to purchase a game they don't sell anymore and I kid you not they said to look for a reseller. Fantastic video Renni, maybe you should open up a retro game shop, id trust you!

This is why I loved Vimm's Lair so much, at least until Nintendo took down many of its ROMs.

the cost of retro games now is why i burn cds, use optical drive emulators and flashcarts, and install hdds and mods on my retro consoles. that way i was able to experience panzer dragoon saga on original hardware without buying a physical copy for ridiculous anounts. also buying these peripherals made by enthusiasts (like krikzz products, gdemu, etc) is supporting people that do a lot more work than scalp old games

Saw a guy at an expo selling metroid zero mission for like 300 dollars. It's on switch online. The west has fallen.

>cute guy avatar >it's a girl YAY

Not even lying, I bought Mario Kart Double Dash and Smash Bros Brawl for $2 each at some random filthy thrift stores. Still the deal of a lifetime.

This is why I emulate, ugh

There's also a special place in heck for people who make a listing for a game and it's literally just the case. no game included.

I used to be an avid game collector. Now I dont. I just get the games I really want. I really hope the bubble pops for retro gaming collecting.

I got Tail Concerto for $25 a long time ago and somehow, somehow it spiked up to $200+. How the hell did that even happen?

I read on Reddit that the reason why people collect sealed games is for preservation I all I could think was ''honey if the internet's NES collection disappeared tomorrow their not going to you to get a copy of The Legend of Zelda''

This video is a solid PSA 10. The gameplay of this video being centered around the video game market and dialogue from the Renni character has stood the test of time from when this video first released earlier today. Its crazy how this video only has 500+ players. Truly a underrated video from an underrated programmer. Overall, a PSA 10. $500/$5.66 shipping. Can't wait to emulate it with my friends

13:49 Grande WarioCristo cruzando fronteras 🗿

I once went to a retro game store a couple towns over from me, and, I kid you not, they were selling a USED copy of mario kart wii for 200. DOLLARS. Luckily about a month later I went to a random gamestop and they had a copy for like 25 bucks, which was definitely an improvement to say the least.

"Retro game buying sucks now" - May as well be the catchphrase of the hobby, it's been far too expensive since the 00s.

Every single day I feel dumber and dumber for not waiting a couple months to just get Kirby Planet Robobot physical back when I came out.

>cute girl avatar > g o r l

13:49 Ya llegaron los Wariochads

It really sucks how high the prices can go, sometimes it’s downright ridiculous like a retro store i go to for example has the first silent hill and tomba with really expensive prices, great video btw!

If you want everything, just say yo ho ho. -Joe Gram.

i love it when a company rereleases or remakes an older game and the scalpers and resellers try to panic sell for sometimes under current market value and it’s hilarious

13:49 unexpected moment "insert super wario man dunverse cameo"

If you notice, those sealed and graded copies of games only sell on prestigious auction sites that normally selling Renaissance paintings and the like. Most of those have 0 bids on Ebay. I'm totally not implying anything.

I got rhythm thief on 3ds for Christmas last year after meaning to buy it for years, and the copy I got was sealed, and I had to actually consider whether or not I wanted to keep it sealed or open it. A game I meant to buy since I was like 12.

I SHAT MY PANTS WHEN SUPER WARIO MAN APPEARED

every thrift store I go to will not have games except the sims like everyone I have gone to just has the sims and nothing else like did that many people but the sims halloween edition for pc

Sounds like a big L to me. Maybe if retro games were live service 5v5 hero shooters with a battlepass and a $120/year premium subscription service, people would actually have a reason to buy it! Eeyup. I’m a genius. And I owe it all to my heroes, “Rick and Morty”.

I was at a charity bookfair recently, i got there when they opened because they have a games section and the people who were lined up before me have already scalped the best stuff by the time i got in. They had trolleys and were just shoveling every first party nintendo game they could find into it. One dude had a price charting app open and was arguing with the booth attendant on pocket change on a game that he was clearly going home to list on ebay. I’ve never wanted to troat punch someone as much as when i saw someone with 10 copys of mario kart Wii in their trolley.

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

One of my roommates bought a copy of Earthbound on the NES for $800. I was like "dude I bought a Glock for cheaper than that"

E S T A B O N I T O

HOW DOES THE SWITCH NOT HAVE WILD WOODY SMH

It really sucks that everyone who grew up with the GameCube is now nostalgic for it so the prices are so high, I just want to play Mario party 4 again :(

YES i absolutely hate resellers with a burning passion with the stuff they do some times, I genuinely do believe emulation is the best possible way to archive these games like legitimately but in a lot of cases there's a fondness of just having the physical game and console on hand, its just a shame so many resellers do the things they do

Ride to Hell should NOT cost any more than 11 bucks man, I feel super lucky to get it before the insane price gouge lol

So retro

I bought The Orange Box on 360 from a flea market for $10 once.

There is no good reason a Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy game on Wii should be sold on Amazon for like $70

SUPER WARIO MAN CAMEO!!!! 13:46

My worst hit was Chibi-Robo for GameCube. Had a mostly CIB copy (had all the paperwork other than the manual) that I gave off to a friend for his birthday a few months before we stopped being friends. It’s around $200-220 for a copy and it’s not even the price that gets me, it’s the fact I gave up a childhood favorite to someone who turned out to be a POS. At least he was happy to get it at the time.

This reminds me of the time I found a copy of Sonic Shuffle in a CeX going for £200. I get it's rare and all, but it's Sonic Shuffle

La sinceridad de Wario deidad estan grande que ahora es omnipresente

There are some collectors out there who are like "you could probably get this game for $100" all casually like if it was no big deal. and I'm sitting here losing every ounce of hope for getting that game. And now I'm glad I have super Mario all stars.

>cute girl avatar >entertaining video about secondhand games Very nice :3👍

PMD Explorers of Sky for the Nintendo DS. :(

this is why i stick to cheap games like Elf on gba

This is why emulation is necessary and morally good

>cute girl avatar >a terrifying presence has entered the room.

13:47 esta bonito

There's a store near me that has a copy of MARIO GALAXY for 70 dollars and Akiba strip for 80; I was just amazed at the shittyness

I always smile whenever I hear somebody mention Go Go Hypergrind. That game is absolutely awesome, and it just sucks how not many people are able to play it due to the bat-shit insane prices. Another reason to thank emulating for doing it's job.

13:46 The Doomverse has officially become an International meme, Oh boy Gringos, Good Luck with all the Lore

Really enjoyed the video but I think adding some structure or small pauses between topic changes would help make it that much better. It can feel a little rant/rambley at times even while being a certified fan of directionless yapping. (also, rise of fem Renni will conquer all, hell yeah)

I don't know what wild Woody is and I'm afraid to ask.

Will never get over the fact I started collecting the Ratchet and Clank series...RIGHT as the PS3 store shutdown announcement happened and prices went up like crazy, and I am really not happy about how much I payed for common ass games like Tools of Destruction or Crack in Time

Oh no, they found out about Super Wario Man. Esta bonito.

como que si te enseñan un juego retro a 500 dolares y dices "esta bonito" este, obvia... y en tu mente no piensas eso, es que no estas siendo sincero, pero si dices que "esta bien qlero el precio" se oye feo.

Grande wario man, atravesando frontares

DKoldies wanted $300 CADfor a copy of Pokémon FireRed last time I checked. I bought a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for less than that and now anything I can think of all the way up to Gamecube/PS2 is just a yo ho ho and a bottle of rum away.

13:49 WARIO MAN??? QUE

Doomverse en lugares inesperados

>video wow

I can't believe the Ta Bonito Ta Cvlero meme has reached so far. Also, great vid! Loving your pacing and narrating style, earned yourself a new sub =)

Hispanic meme in the last minute of the video, it's very good!! 🙀 Esta bonito

I can understand the types of games that didn't sell a whole lot of copies from their original releases that would cause them to be so expensive in second-hand markets, but I will never understand how certain games that sold EXTREMELY well in their haydays, millions of copies (to the point where they even get player's choices re-releases) and are super common, suddenly go for the price of a brand new current-gen system? That's just being fricking greedy, especially with Pokemon. Unless a game is rare or hard to find, no one should be having to spend the amount that is the equivalent to paying rent just so they can experience a game they been wanting to play.

Perdóname por todo wario deidad 13:49

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!

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

your editing is so good omg

13:49 As if sa- As if someone shows you a baby and y- you say..."It's cute..." So, obviou- And in you mind you don't think that... Well you're not being sincere... But if you say that "it's f####ing ugly", th-that sounds rude...

Congrats on the talksona transition, the video was super fun and your editing is hilarious 😁🫶🏾

Como cuando dices "Esta bonito"

I'm surprised this channel doesn't have more subs, good video! Also the thumbnail gave me a harder laugh than it should have.

just wanted to say as an avid game “””collector””” this video is fucking awesome lol, lots of personality and style behind it and just it genuinely being funny, keep it up! awesome work

0:59 I definitely relate to the interest in old games. Like I remember seeing a video of the stuff added in Super Mario Advance 4 with the E-Reader cards and really wanting try the Super Mario Advance series. I eventually did so with the Wii U Virtual Console (RIP). Heck even though it was for the original Game Boy, I got Super Mario Land 2 on my 3DS which my mom questioned my young self on, pointing out the monochrome graphics. As for the topic at hand, I definitely agree. The most I paid for an old game was Pokemon Black 2 at like… 120 dollars I think. It would really be nice but unlikely of Nintendo for them to make reproduction carts of their DS and 3DS games to try get into the Retro Games Market.

I don't know who is desperate for physical when you can just go take a boat ride

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.

13:50 LORD SUPER WARIO MAN?

I can relate to having to get rid of previous collections for peanuts, only to realize later on that my collection was worth a hell of a lot more than I had to sell for. I remember back in the early 2000's when I bought a boxed & pretty mint Atari Jaguar for 15 English pounds! My last buy of a retro console was a boxed SNES bought from a charity shop for 15 British pounds, the box was in ok shape considering its age, but the console itself had yellowed to the point where it looks like nicotine staining, & the game pads looked as though they've been stamped on, they still work, but the casings are cracked & fractured.

As of late I've only really gotten games for old systems I have a genuine interest in. Collecting the crazy rare games that cost me the same as a car payment isn't worth it at all. My local retro store has a copy of Devils Third for Wii U in a case behind the counter, whenever I need a quick laugh I look at it. I'll happily throw a decent amount of money at some hardware but not a game that most people hated when it came out.

I'm so glad I bought every single copy of W:MoD ever made and can sell them for 7 Grand each

>cute girl avatar >it's a cute girl makes sense to me!

I’m lucky to own my sister’s copy of SoulSilver. Sure I got my 3DS jailbreaked but DS games are blurry for some reason on that thing and I hate looking at it.

I remember when I made a video talking about retro game collecting was too expensive back in 2014. Oh, how I miss those days and wish I could go back to THOSE prices. (I also really should have focused on getting my gamecube collection back before things went bonkers.)

>cute girl avatar >it's a woman Oh Cool

COMO DIS COMO QUE SI TE ENSEÑAN UN BEBE Y DICES ESTA BONITO

13:49 Está siendo sincero.
