Is the case for Fire Emblem Fates a special case at 6:17? I don't see it anymore on the site
2:30 that’s the perfect response a wife can ever have to “you’re not gonna make me sell my video games are you??”
Agreed! 😅
I can hear in the background, “Whomp Whomp Whoommmpppp….” 😂😂
Have you ever made a video game purchase that you REGRET? Comment below!
YES this week is my last exemple of that! Picked up Mario RPG on Switch 2 days before it went on sale 30$ less! :(
Argh! Been there many times! 😅
I have a lot purchases which i regret (cause i am stupid and often dont look closely at the stuff i buy .... ), last time i bought a Zelda: Links awakening for the Classic Gameboy for 150€ and didnt checked the stuff inside the Box, so i got a UK Box with a 5/10 english instruction (ripped and creased) and a german cartridge. well a few months later i got an other one in 8/10 condition but at that time i was pissed.
An incomplete copy of Magic knight Rayearth for Sega Saturn. It was disc and manual only copy for about $860.00. It was an impulse buy and I later found a complete copy for only a little more. I ended up buying a high quality reproduction art work to finish it off, but it's not the same due to it being a Working Designs game.
Yes, twice. One time I auctioned in a copy of Catherine: Fullbody for the Switch on an online auctionsite, I was promised a physical cartridge, got a code in a box. And my biggest regret from years ago a copy of Windwaker with the OoT bonus discs. It was a "new" copy. However after opening it when coming home, the discs were both scratched to hell as well as broken.
I saw a quick cameo of myself!! 😂😂😂
Yep! Lol
@@martinde-serres8724 who are you?
That ending. 😂 I’ve had the reverse happen to me where I wanted the greatest hits because it had additional characters, but when I bought it my disk was the black label. Grr.
Would you guys ever do a “top 5/top 10 lists” of games? Any kind of list. RPG characters, RPG music, RPG bosses, ect. I think there’s a lot you could do with that sort of thing and I don’t know about everyone else but I’d love to hear you both talk about such things. 😊
Thanks for asking! We did one on horror games and one on 3DS RPGs, both videos utterly tanked lol
Probably the best ending to a video I've seen in a while haha.
Dudeeeee….$100 for a Chrono guide book? $900 for Kuon? Inflation got nuthin’ for these collectors lol
Dude so many strategy guides are $50+ these days, pisses me off because I'd rather have a physical guide. And I can't fit every one of my consoles close to my computer.
Awesome content! Non themed videos are great cause theres so much to see!
BTW Cutoff humor is best humor!
Haha thanks Zack, appreciate you watching 😀
Man I can't believe you guys found all those grails at SoCal expo. If I get a FF figure it'll be for Vincent Valentine. I like Cloud but Vincent is my all time favorite in the franchise. I love the clip with Rectwizard that made me laugh
Haha. I love the ending. I have been there before. I once bought a horror book of short stories four times. I must love that collection. Great video and I love your channel!!!
Thanks so much!
Great video guys! Thanks for the cameo guys! Can't wait for SEGE!
See you there! 😀
A great vid guys! You crossed some stuff off the old list!
Thanks so much! 😀
Nothing worse than a game case and disc not matching lol
Dude...seriously!
At least this time it works in their favor
man, you guys REALLY need to double check before leaving for game hunting XP
Haha right?!
Im a collector myself (of pokemon cards/plushies), and i just found your channel! Its nice to watch other people hunt for and get the things theyre looking for :)
Thanks so much for watching 😀
The ending was really funny 🤣
Your channel rocks. I love that you two share a deep passion for games. Every time I go to bookmans or fallout I hope to run into you guys. :)
Thanks for saying so! 🙂
You should come to the Utah Retro Game Expo in August!
That ending tho! 😀😀😀
lol, that ending! 😂
aw man.. that ending.. now that I think about it, I should recheck a lot of my ps2 games. I bought a lot of my ps2 collection Used from Gamestop and it is possible I have some labels that dont match the game (like your SH 2). Thanks for the weekly content!
Lol mismatches are the worst! Thanks for watching 🙂
the ending lmaoooooo
I did the same thing haha I got the black label case of SH2 with the greatest hit disc inside 😆
I still haven't uploaded my so cal gaming expo videos yet 😅
That ending 😂😂
Thank you both. Can't wait for the next Nintendo Quest video.
Thanks so much 😀
That is awesome that you got the person who does the voice for Jill Valentine sign your new figurine.
Thanks! She was great!
I used to have those game guides back in the day, they're now all lost in the shuffles of moving for so many years. Which is amusing since I never had a SNES.
Haha the books are great by themselves! 😀
haha its me at the 12:35 mark. Ive got this bad boy hanging the 4 others that are on card :)
Very cool!
@@JRPGLife Thank you! Happy to be in a JRP video 😀😀
The greatest hits disc in the black label case ☠️ that was hilarious
Glad to finally see some content from so cal! wish I could have gone! Also I found my old psp the other day and did an lcd screen mod in it, do you guys have some recommendations for rpgs on it? just snagged PoPolocrois!
Awesome! Man, there are so many good RPGs on the PSP! The first few that come to mind are:
FF Tactics: WOTL
LEGEND OF heroes: Trails in the Sky
Star Ocean 1&2
did i saw right? was there a sealed Zelda DX for the GBC at Goodbuy Games for 600$ ?
Hmm, maybe?
That’s funny in my game store someone traded in a greatest hits box with the black version today lol wish we could somehow trade
Yay! You had greatest hits whole time in black version! But expensive as it is in vita, that’s my goals 😅
Those Resident Evil figures were BAD AZZ! I remember back in 1998 or 99 can't quite remember, I got it for N64. I would try to play it late at night by myself and I would get so scared and would have to turn it off and start playing Spyro on PS to relax. Mind you in 98-99 I was already 18-19 years old and I felt like the biggest puzzy ever 😂!
👊😜👍
Those are the best kind of memories 🙂
That moment when if you know, you know 😂. Insane purchase with a proper title card as a glimpse into that poor man's future. I've shared a similar experience, pulling the trigger on the elusive Snatcher. In person buy at a game store a few years back. We'll worth the admission and sometimes you have to just go for it, re inert that title card 😂. I had no idea about silent hill 2 and the difference . I'll have to take a look at mine. ☝️💪🙌
XD perfect ending!
Elisa has a danganronpa shirt 😍
Ooh! Which version of Jill Sandwich did Heidi Anderson voice?
The gamecube and ps2 Era ones we believe
hahaha that twist was better than any M. Night Shyamalan movie!
😀
JRPG life I have seen all from 1980-Now I have every RPG for all Nintendo Sega Sony and Microsoft consoles love the Super Nintendo PS1 and PS2 RPGs the most
The ending was very relatable
Thats insane that a CIB pokemon pinball in America is £120, its only £45 in the UK 😂
Was that Brave Fencer sealed because that price was a lot for that one.
I think it was! He had a bunch of sealed games. 😊
@@jrpgwife ah okay. Nice pickup! Got Car Battler Joe aswell last year! We never got it in Europe.
That ending got me…😂. At least you have a CIB copy of the definitive version of SH2 on the OGXbox! It has better graphics than the PS2 version.
Exactly!
No regrets from us yet. I have gotten close a few times like when I bought what I thought was a CIB Wii resort black console to come to find out it had a white console inside thankfully didn’t payed too much still came out ahead.
Also don’t want to spoil the video for anyone else so I’ll just say: lol on that ending
10:16
NANI!!!! 900!!!!
That’s why I’m glad we have Emulation since games can be crazy expensive
That twist ending though! Whoops!
The booth with all the Strategy guides makes me drool a bit; I love that kind of additional media.
I don't have a TON of them, maybe 50 (compared to 400+ games), but each one is a showcase of art and design. For a lot of games, those are the only physical media they ever got that properly showcases the concept art.
I've never really undestood why everyone craps on Greatest Hits and the like; before mandatory internet updates, those were the only chance devs had to release versions with bug fixes and adjustments.
Most if not all of my PS2 collection is originals, but that's really just because the games I enjoy don't often get GH versions.
So this is a genuine question: What, if anything, actually makes the black label games more desirable?
Great question! I think there is a lot of intrinsic value in owning an "original" version of a game. You are correct, though; sometimes it's best to get the later release 😀
Uniformity on the game wall 😅
Also, the greatest hits manuals are usually black and white instead of color prints.
@@JRPGLife (and -wife) Thanks for taking a minute to answer; even though I pretty much knew the answer, it is nice to get confirmation.
No one ever really addresses it, and I think it's pretty interesting that as collectors we might prefer a technically inferior product for a bit of extra ink and shelving continuity.
I've actually been thinking of contributing to The Manual Project; I grew up in the 80s, and most of my earliest game experiences were rentals, which didn't include more than basic controls. As a result I spent a lot of time talking to the folks at the Nintendo hotline - I must have been a menace to them, because I lived locally to NoA and called directly rather than through the 800 number!
I've been there done that bought the same game more than once
That anime dub was a nice showcase 💀
Little late but another banger
My aunt gave me Kuon cib for free, she was handed it at a county landfill in a back full of games.
Wow that's awesome!
@@JRPGLife I tried to tell her and pay her something but she wouldn’t take it. Easily one of luckiest things to ever happen to me. Hope your collecting continues to go well!
On the plus side I think the Xbox version of Silent Hill 2 has better resolution than the PS2 and you can sell that copy for at least what you paid for the Xbox version.
So, do you guys always go to the cons?
Just a few per year, when we can afford it 😅
@@JRPGLife lmafooo
Don't you just hate it when you buy a game you didn't think you had just to get home and find out you already have it.
I hope if I ever get a wife, it's never someone who tells me I have to sell my games....
Watching your videos I learn something new all of the time 😌 ☺️ 😏 🤗
You are too kind!
This is my favorite channel
You tell the truth all of the time 👏 🙌 💯 😌
I LIKE watching anime.
Out of all the games that could have the greatest hit disc inside, it had to be silent hill 2. At least you can choose which to keep.😂
Yeah lol 😅
OMFG Someone knows DNA². I love Masakazu Katsura. That anime released in my country on VHS and DVD but back in the day I had no money to buy it. Finding DVD 1 and 2 wasnt all that hard but I had to spend big money (in terms of DVDs at least) and look quite a bit until I found DVD 3. Still prefer the Manga, but the Anime is very fun, too.
Awesome! Yeah what a wild anime series 😅
This is a vicious cycle. Youre buying games from people who once collected them as you are now from them.
Yep! It's pretty wild 😀
@@JRPGLife Im rambling but the $900 purchase made me think:
-The games too expensive to play normally.
-Super rare games often were bad and didnt sell well due to it.
-You can download a rom for free if you just wanted to play it
-Youll probably do what the last guy did with it (sell it)
-If not it just sits ona shelf indefinitely.
6:46 WHAT did that pikachu say? 🤨
It said "Pikachu" but it's kind of old, so the speaker is a bit worn 😅
Pikachu said, "Like and subscribe!" 😅
Omg, how i missed those Capcom items 😮, great video 🎉
Thanks brother!
Someone scooped up the whole bin after we left that booth. I went back to buy more but they were all gone. 😅
Ok that was funny.
❤😊😊😊
MORE DOLL ACTION PLEASEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yessss 😂
Biggest game i regret purchasing STREET FIGHTER 6 it wasn't that good and locking modes behind a system not good
Ugh that's a bummer
Kollector protector sucks u.u they sent me cracked warped cases that ruined my sealed mint lunar box sets 😭😭😭 I hate them so much
So sorry to hear that 😔 I'm sure if you reached out to them they would help you out
@@JRPGLifeI took the big L x.x someday I'll send them in for grading to get them protected the right way sucks cus the damage received is definitely going to affect the grading x.x FML much love 💙✨
this couple must be rich . whats their jobs?
Lol definitely not rich, just very good at budgeting 🙂
5 gs like that...
I sold a copy of Kuon for $1k during the pandemic. Still my all time highest sale for a single game. Loved it.
Kind of douchie of you guys to point a camera in people's face and ask "how much?" when things have price tag on them if you ask me.
Sorry you feel that way. There are dozens of people recording at expos so most vendors are used to it. We also always ask permission to film. 🙂
N64 is the GOAT! 7:01
you look like Jesus
Thanks? Lol
I really don't understand why people buy seal games
We are of the same mind, we buy games to play them 🙂
@@JRPGLife thank you that what I thought you can't play seal games
The gatekeeping in the gaming community is real bad.
SKINNEEER!
