PORQUE NO PUEDO ESCAPAR DEL DUNVERSO
I'm begging for the market bubble to burst... please I just want to own Pokemon HGSS without selling my kidneys.
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
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.
@yellowblanka6058 At this point yea lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@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.
@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. How can a company get frustrated when they are literally the ones who could change this situation at any time? Ugh
100% agree and that could make for an interesting topic for another video
@@RenniUltraFox DO IT.
I think they should do a event where they reproduce the games at their original price point then sell them as part of a ambasador program
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.
I think this could all be fixed if game companies came to terms with the fact that they are making software and would just release their own emulators on pc and consoles and would just sell roms
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.
I hate so much that you didn't end it with "not on me watch, matey!"
Y'aaargh. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️

Well whats wrong with having a girl avatar but it being a guy?
@bad_pilot13official I got a comment earlier of someone complaining that I used my fem sona in the thumbnail but they thought I was a guy. There’s nothing wrong with that even if that were the case, so people like OP were making parody versions of the comment.
Wild Woody is on Sega CD but not the Switch, clearly Sega CD is the superior console.
made by limited run games
Wild Woody is also a guest character in a pornographic kart racer game on Steam.
Now you must live with this knowledge forever.
To be fair Wild Woody is better than Scarlet Nexus
@@Savarinum i mean, wild woody also had a pornographic image of a mermade as well in his game so it makes sence
Facts
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
Personally, it’s about going to the right local ones for physical games. Always check for any reviews online before going to any physical stores. Having a physical copy is more gratifying than just having it solely on a computer.
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!
Thanks buddy :)💙
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
Back in my day (I'm in my early 30s) Rhinos (then turned gamestop) would have metroid prime 1 for 3.99 all day everyday, mario sunshine for 12.99, Windwaker for 14.99, etc.
i remember paying 80 bucks for fire emblem was outrageous at the time. it was a hard game to find even back then.

This is why I loved Vimm's Lair so much, at least until Nintendo took down many of its ROMs.
This is why we never publicly talk about rom sites
Dumbasses on UA-cam and TikTok sharing this site was the worst
@@megapokesonicx yup. Same with the people heavily promoting the modded game carts and getting them noticed.
@@megapokesonicx Sorry.
@@MegamanElric16 no you’re fine, it’s other people who kept sharing it in their videos
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.
Oh god that’s horrible I’m sorry :(
Bit dramatic but I can see how it might traumatize you. Hope you can look at video games one day.
Someone freed you of your addiction. Now go enjoy life! You’re free!
Happened to me too. They stole half my GameCube collection. I managed to buy them all back and then some. Sad part is I knew who did it.
My mom had us living in a house in a really bad area and someone broke into the house and stole my Wii and all the games and yeah it made me really sad as a kid. Now I just emulate all those games.
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
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.
Oh, I've gotten several "valuable" games at Goodwill. Deals are out there if you look hard enough
I bought both Animal Crossing: Wild World and Tetris DS for 10€ each at a former 2nd-hand store in Helsinki. Still wild to think of my luck there. (Especially with Tetris DS as that went out of print bit early)
I remember getting the Metal Gear Solid Essential Collection at Goodwill for $2 a few years back. Still yet to finish MGS1 but wouldn’t have tried out Metal Gear otherwise probably.

Tbf, you can do the reverse too. You can pirate and still play on real hardware with everdrive. Or you can dump real carts and emulate. Why do people keeping screwing up the terms like this? Emulation isn't piracy
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

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.
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 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.
Mario Kart Wii $200 😂 wtf
I guarantee you that’s actually money laundering you should tip them off because this place must be a front for a drug dealer or even the mafia 😂😂
I bought my copy for like 10€ 3 years ago
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!
Thank you!! 💙
Funny that you mention Tomba because both games are getting Remastered and a physical release on last/next gen consoles.

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
If you want everything, just say yo ho ho.

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.
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

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)
Thank you!! I really appreciate the feedback too. I wanted this video to have a consistent flow to it, but I totally get where you’re coming from on that. I’ll be sure to keep that in mind because I’m always looking to improve what I do :)

Very nice :3👍
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.
I gave my Majora's mask cart to my friend as a gift for her birthday and didn't buy another copy in time (like 8 months before it went from 20 bucks for the holographic cart to 65-115+)
I don't regret giving her a good gift but man I regret not grabbing another copy before it went up
Like th... Like they show you a baby and you say “it's pretty” , that, obv... And you ain't thinking that you aren't being sincere, but if you say that “it looks like shit”, it sound horrible
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
So retro
unsurprised and pleased that this is the first comment
this is why i stick to cheap games like Elf on gba
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.
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
That game goes for like $17 dollars on the retro game market, why do they feel the need to overprice a 17 year old game that doesn't even go for that much nowadays?
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
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.
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
I still have my copies , i swear they were like 10 a couplemyears ago , is this real shit?
Greatful they reversed the decision to close it atleast.
I have almost all the games, so I'm good on that front
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.

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
Sonic shuffle for 200£? What the hell. The Japanese version is worth 20 U.S dollars
The heck? GameStop practically pushed it in my hands for $10
I bought The Orange Box on 360 from a flea market for $10 once.
5 legendary classics right there, good pick.
I'm so glad I bought every single copy of W:MoD ever made and can sell them for 7 Grand each
I do also believe playing an older game through official hardware feels special compared to playing through emulation.
I was at a retro game store last week, and I got to play on both the SNES and Sega Genesis inside the store. It was surreal. I spent most of that time playing an obscure-ass puzzle game called Zoop. Pure magic.

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.
if you have a dsi or purchase a flashcart like an r4 or a dstwo you can play ds games on original ds hardware for free
@@shira7211 I do have a DSi XL, although I’ve heard that some games were designed to detect r4 carts. How true that is I’m not sure but it’s something I’ll look into.
@@xXSKY64Xx those games likely have patches or cheat codes to circumvent copy protection
@@xXSKY64Xx nds bootstrap is another option.
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.

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

That yellow blob in the thumbnail is looking fancy and oddly cute!
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.
@@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
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.
Thank you Dawn! I’m really glad that you found my video. I watched yours while doing research for this one and it was great! Your work was an inspiration for mine, for sure!
And I appreciate the input, I agree with all of that. I don’t mind that people can make some money selling games, but I don’t understand why the amounts have to be so exorbitant.
Not the crossover I was expecting, but glad to see it. Also, grill to grill communication. Grill to grill conversation.
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. UA-cam creates a lot of the demand for old games. Some consoles were more successful in Japan than the USA (Sega Saturn, for example) so the games are cheaper.
