    Correction at 3:07 - The eShop release of Axiom Verge was the first outside of PS/PC, NOT the Limited Run release. The physical release came a few years later. (Thanks @EPS5000 !)

      I own The Book of Unwritten Takes 2 and I'm legit SHOCKED to find out the game is rare and going for crazy prices. I bought it at Gamestop years ago for a super cheap price brand new (I think it was something like $15). There was another copy of the game sitting there for a long time. If I had known, I would have bought both copies, but I'm happy with the one copy I do have. Also, Devil's Third is a game I enjoyed despite the pure HATRED the game got from 90% of everyone else. I remember pre-ordering it from Gamestop years ago and when it released I was shocked to find out that my local Gamestop only received ONE copy of the game... the copy that I had pre-ordered. That alone clued me in that the game was going to be ultra rare. Anyway, the game's solo player campaign was fun (again, I'm in the minority since 90% of everyone else hated it, I know. LOL. But I liked it. The story felt like a drugged up Metal Gear Solid on cocaine and the gameplay was a lot of fun), and the multiplayer was TONS of fun to the point where if Nintendo had properly marketed the game on just the multiplayer, the game would have done really well (the multiplayer was a billion times better than games like Fortnite). But alas, no one wanted to market the game and threw it out for release with most people not knowing it existed.

    So I can actually add a little bit to the reason why double start is so expensive. I was working at GameStop at the time when that game was released. Not only did they, we only received copies to fulfill pre-orders and we barely carried any spare copies after that but on the initial release we actually had a shortage. And this happened to be to be true for every game of my area, which at the time there was five. Each location was actually shorted by a few copies. The best example I can give you is at my store only had five pre-orders but only three copies ever came in. The second nearest location only had four pre-orders and only two copies ever came in. And my whole time there which I only lasted another year and a half after this game came out we only saw one trade in of that game

    I actually have Turbo and Devil's Third physical. But I'd say in Europe, they are not that expensive.
    Turbo is actually a pretty nice game, which I enjoyed for several hours. I also liked the movie a lot.
    The game is like a Tony Hawks game with a snail. But 6 levels are pretty huge and interesting to explore and the challenges get tougher. This is definitely a decent game and kinda worth owning.

    Unless I’m misinterpreting you, I think you made a mistake. At the 3:07 mark you said “at the time of its release, this was the first instance of Axiom Verge appearing outside of the the PC and PlayStation ecosystem” however I remember when Limited Run announced the Multiverse Edition and it was months (possibly a year) AFTER the Multiverse Edition was on Switch. Unless by that statement you meant the digital release, but in the video you’re specifically talking about the physical Multiverse Edition.

    It’s really a double edged sword when a multi plat game gets stupid expensive for one console but not another. Like I could go out and find Tales and Turbo on like Xbox or PlayStation and spend just a few bucks. But say I’m collecting for Wii U then for games I could get for $20 for both on a different platform, I’d have to spend like $400 on Wii U! Like yeah, you have a rare game, but you also don’t since anyone can get it, just not on Wii U. The magic of collecting

    Unrelated... But do you think the Japanese refer to you as "Nintendo Dragon", due to the way "Drew" is rendered as "Doryu"?
    To resume the topic, two things jump out at me. One is the song from Game and Wario, Adrift, to be specific its usage in the TF2 GMod video "Engineer's Interesting Day". Another is the Game Grumps and how all they did for Devil's Third (more like Devil's Turd haha) was do nonsequiturs in a hokey Russian accent, even though I'm sure Mr. Third isn't Russian.

    I was surprised at number one. I remember when I saw this game advertised I was super exited, it is not as good at I thought, but because I like games from the ps3 era, this game reminds me a lot to uncharted, there are no items, the only things you can pick up are the weapons dropped by the enemy, and it is a linear adventure game, I really like this kind of games, not as good, but still I enjoyed a lot. I didn’t know this game was so rare. I sold most of my collection of Wii U, because I updated to the newer switch version, so I sold my bayonetta, Mario 3d world, Mario kart, Mario Wii U, but kept the games that are not on the switch yet, like the twilight princess, Xenoblades chronicle x, star fox zero, Zelda wind waker, game & wario, devils third. I only sell games when I can get a newer version. But even so, first a look at so many reviews, because the silent hill 2 and 3 collection were garbage, so I am so glad I didn’t sold my silent hill 2 and 3 at the moment of buying the ps3 collection.

    Not sure how different the pricing in the UK is but I supported the Wii U quite a bit during its life and have 3 of these: Game & Wario I paid £20 for, Book of Unwritten Tales 2 I paid £8.96 for and Devil’s Third I got for £8. Glad I held onto them. I would have thought that Finding Teddy 2 and Shmup Collection would be worth a bit as they were only by limited run games and there are only 4000 copies of each I believe (last PAL releases on the system I believe).

    First of, love your content! You're easily one of my favorite gaming UA-camrs! 😊
    Secondly, with regards to Turbo: you say it was considered a flop *despite* it having a 282 million USD box office compared to a 127 million USD budget. I would say it's a flop *because* of those numbers.
    Movie tickets, depending on the location and deal in place, usually are divided ~50/50 between the theatres and the distributor. Meaning you need around twice the budget to break even.
    That's not all though: marketing is traditionally not a part of the budget, and a lot of times a huge number, being anywhere between 50% and 200% of the budget.
    Taking all of that into account, it's not a giant leap to say a film like Turbo needed at least a 300 million USD box office to be even considered acceptable by the ditributor.
    So yeah, with those numbers, it's no surprise it was seen as a flop. It most likely *was* a financial loss for the studio.

    I know this is US titles but, I think Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure the Japanese release on the WiiU is a rare game? Think about it, that port never came outside of Japan and has become something of a peculiar game in the overseas market. I think the full starter pack is pricy.

    And I own 4 out of 5 of them. Just don't own the Unwritten Tales game. And probably wont at since the prices are so damn high here in Canada.

    It blows my mind games 1 and 3 are not even good or connected to a famous IP yet people will pay so much money for them just because they're rare.
    I can never become a collector. 😄
