Correction - Cubivore has doubled since Aug 2020 - Time just blurs together Do you think Gamecube prices will settle after this spike or will they spike even more by the end of the year?
@@theamazingspiderman4911 Yes and also keep in mind that we're now a couple years into the pandemic and anybody that was buying them for nostalgia might well not bother if the price keeps going up. That and there are other options for entertainment now that hadn't been the case during much of that time frame.
Your better off selling your collection and taking advantage of the stock market being on sale. The value of your carefully stocks will rise over time.
Very interesting and informative! Loved the thumbnail too. Heard you mention it for a couple games but one data point to potentially add into future analyses could be the number of copies in circulation.
Yeah that's something I plan on implementing in the future. I do this part time so it's been a while since I had time to think about what other points of data I can include
I absolutely refuse to pay the ridiculous, off the rails prices for retro-games. It's reaching borderline money-laundering territory in my opinion. That is why I swapped out the optical drive on my Gamecube for a GC Loader SD card reader.
Paid about $100 for Cubivore and a few years later bought GoGo Hypergrind for $11. While both great deals by todays standards i still can’t believe GoGo’s price. I am suprised how cheap TubeSlider is though give. It’s rarity and playability
Yeah I remember go go hypergrind at $70 and passing on it because it didn't look like something I wanted to play. I knew it being an atlus title it would be expensive later on but I had gotten to a point where I didn't want to collect just for value
I am glad to see another Retronomics video :D Oh my swirls! With how the demand for Gamecube games are astronomically high, I hope Nintendo makes them available to the Switch so people can easily play without spending exuberants amount of money (or just sailing to the seas) Fortunally, I got some of the games in the list, such as Twilight Princess, Chibi Robo and Eternal Darkness, as well as some who weren't in the list, like the two Baten Kaitos games, so I hope I can get Geist as the game isnt' surprizingly expensive, despite it being an M-rated exclusive Gamecube game.
Sonic adventure two battle increase because of shadows appearance in the sonic the hedgehog 2 movie, That also goes with the shadow the hedgehog game as well which has also doubled
Hey man I like your videos and I love gamecube games videos,I would like to see this titles in you next video,NCAA College Basketball 2K3,Gotcha Force,Ribbit King,Fantasy Star on Line episode 1 2 pluss,Pokémon box,Pokémon Colosseum
Still holding super smash melee. Never thought it was worth much when I found it in a trash pile in the country club of a house where people were evicted. Console, controllers, games. Great times
I gave it about 5 or so years from the start of all this before we start to see prices go back down to an acceptable level. It's just dumb to think because one person bought a game for a high price that others will follow, but sure enough, they do. I gave up on gamecube shortly after this all started. Never really cared for the console and was only buying games to justify me buying it years ago.
It’s just old enough that nostalgia is a factor. In 10 years it’ll be cheaper as there are less and less nostalgic 20/30 year olds who grew up with the GameCube
So when Gamestop made their last push into retro games right before the pandemic, there was a policy at their warehouse to throw out the manuals of the DVD-sized retro games (PS2, GC, OG XBox) because there were parts of the manuals to write notes and there was a fear that they would resell a game that somebody would’ve written sexist or racist notes in and they didn’t want the PR hit like in the past when they’ve resold DS and 3DS systems without taking out the SD card & there was bad content left on the system. I wonder if the influx of copies without manuals are some of these games bought from Gamestop before the pandemic and being flipped now that the prices have spiked?
Oh wow I have an original gamecube with the portable pop-on screen and the car adapter with like 30 games :) Mario sunshine , Luigi's man chin , Mario kart double dash..... ETC.. I only payed very little back in the day for that. I like the system but never use it due to the switch and get to play most of the games on mine :)
once again you do an amazing job with the information provided. By chance have you looked at the rise of sega genesis games? that is getting out of hand
I wish I’d grabbed skies of Arcadia and eternal darkness when they were still cheap compared to what they are now . I liked your game gear retronomics . Yeah gamecube is just really hot right now .
Am surprised games like digimon rumble arena 2, Samurai jack shadow of aku and medabots infinity were not mentioned as those games started to get pricy
@@SuperNicktendo Ah I see, But still those 3 along with 3 others in the back of my mind have either started to reach the 100 dollar mark or surpassed it with CIB Copies
@@theamazingspiderman4911 might have to add them to my list. I try to pick some of the more volitile ones and sprinkle some inexpensive ones to give people hope

Itll go down as soon is cubivore gets rereleased

They'll continue to go up, as they always will even if slowly. Over what timescale its hard to say, Nintendo is always a safe bet.
I got my copy of go go hyper grind for .25 cents loose at a pawn shop years ago. Crazy how high it’s gotten
yeah it's bonkers. I considered at $50 and passed thinking that I would find it in a game store. Oh well.
I'm tempted to sell off my GameCube collection while it's high and use the cash to buy the stock market while it's down.
I was tempted to sell off and just keep my GC Loader, but I can't part with them :/
Market can go down way way more. GameCube not so much
Better off holding the collection, 40% tax if you sell before the year haha
@@SuperNicktendo I think that’s why games hold their value.. I ain’t parting with mine and most collectors view them as invaluable
Your better off selling your collection and taking advantage of the stock market being on sale. The value of your carefully stocks will rise over time.
Man, I love the layout on the pricing and the footage. You really do a great job on these and I hope people appreciate the research here.

Yeah it's a jungle out
Did I detect a Yokai Watch reference in this comment?…
I would love to see a switch price video since there are so many games that makes me wonder where the price will go in the future
yeah it's an interesting system to collect for.
The 360 ports of the Sonic Adventure games are BC on all XBox One & Series models.
100 dollars is crazy for any game in my opinion. I just want to play TTYD again but these prices are insane.
Yeah it's insaneo style
You should give dolphin a shot if you don’t care too much abt piracy
Those GameCube games needs to get rereleased on the Nintendo Switch or any future Nintendo console.
I picked a really bad time to want to get GameCube games

Man I was not aware this ! I am living in Japan and this is a totally different story, games are way cheaper !
Yeah, especially the main Pokémon flagship games. Gen 3/4/5 games are about half or 1/4 the price to the prices in NA.

That's a possibility. Come to think of it, I don't think I got a complete retro game from gamestop when I bought from them.

Geist goes for around 60 now 😬

Cool video 👍

Yeah glad I got eternal darkness for $20 back before stuff got nuts.
I knew this was going to happen. I really want Smash Melee and Pokémon Colosseum
You didn’t mention Zelda Four Swords.
I’m trying to secure a copy but the price keeps creeping up and I’m positive it’s a GameCube exclusive.
yeah I try not to include multiples of a series. But yea 4 swords on the gamecube is exclusive. That's one I would probably buy sooner than later.
Am surprised games like digimon rumble arena 2, Samurai jack shadow of aku and medabots infinity were not mentioned as those games started to get pricy
I have been following the same list since August and expanding it with subscriber suggestions. Originally was 10 games because they were ones I owned.

No Windwaker? Okay then.
Didn't want to include all the Zeldas
Cubivore is an interesting game… but not 600 bucks interesting. Just throw that bad boy on your ODE.
I’d keep that GameCube if I were you. You are NOT going to be able to go back and play with these prices. I’m glad I’ve kept mine !
I am glad I jailbreak my Wii. I am not paying a premium for these games.
Yeah, I have a GC Loader. These prices are wild

Can we look at 3DS next?
Man it's been 8 months since my last 3DS video.
PS1 is now getting insane too
Might need to do a follow up then
I have a complete case for Paper Mario I got from a friend, but am missing the game. The pain lol
You can get the disk for far cheaper to complete your collection, or sell the case to someone else who only has the disk
Wait, what problems would we have to deal with if Cubeivore drops under $100
I live in europe so im jealous you guys have cubivore
Damn...prices have gone up since covid they are just taking advantage of that
I stop collecting for a few months and this happens 😭
yup. Switch price-video please
why choose og gamecube console over wii? you can do so much more with wii and wii is cheaper
I put it in this video for consistency. Typically people are looking for the complete experience regardless of cost.
