I was the one who sold you Clock Tower 2! I remember I wanted to see about getting an autograph or something from you, but then recalled what a horrible game I was sending and decided not to ask.
@@NetConsole False. The .hack G.U. series for the PS2 was worth around 100-200 dollars before they released all 3 on the PS4, they are worth under 100 dollars now.
No joke, that has legitimately happened to me. I owned a copy of Jedi Outcast for the og Xbox back in the day. I had a little yellow sheet of notebook paper with all of the cheat codes written down stuffed behind the manual. I ended up trading it in to ebgames in Arizona. Years later, and after a move to New York State, I went to a local game store and grabbed a copy of Jedi Outcast for some nostalgia gaming. I get home and pop open the case, take out the manual, and to my surprise a little yellow folded up sheet of notebook paper falls out. I nearly lost my shit when I realized it was the same sheet of paper I had put in there when I was a kid all those years ago. Small world.
In the 90s, I sold my big box edition of Earthbound to Funcoland in order to get money for a Playstation. At least I still have the pizza air freshener.
I once sold my copy of the original Legend of Zelda, can't remember how much I got for it, but this was well before the retro boom so it wasn't that much. Months go by and I start to miss the game. I happen to be at the shop I sold it to and while looking through the used games spot a copy of Zelda, with manual and map. On a lark, I opened up the map and saw the markings I had made to indicate where levels 7, 8, and 9 all were! And that is how I ended up re-purchasing the very same copy of Zelda that I had sold.
Mine kinda got sold by accident. Was the copy I had played the fishing mini game with my granddad on and using his advice caught the biggest bass I had ever come across (in Hyrule lol). It was saved on that cart and was sentimental to me but it's long gone now. Also I found that cart on a wim going into a thrift store in my speck of a little town. They wanted 5 bucks I pointed out how dirty it was got it for 3. Cleaned it with coconut rum and it worked like a charm.
When I was 11 my mom put all of my games into a storage locker because we were homeless (and then moving). We had an NES, N64, Sega Genesis, Commodore 64, etc. She ended up deciding that drugs were better than everything in that storage locker. We lost it all.
Here4daTACOS - I remember picking up Shantae for the Game Boy Color for $29.99 and the moron at EB Games laughed at me and said, “ Why are people asking about a game with a girl playable character? Who would that game?” Years later, last laugh dummy!!! Not only do I own a really great game that is herald by critics as a very polished and ahead of it’s time, but is a technical marvel, developed by WAYFORWARD and published by CAPCOM, two of the greatest video game companies to-date. To add insult to injury, there were less than 16,500 copies made worldwide and the cost for complete-in-box is well-over $250! I was very happy when I initially purchased Shantae and I am more than extremely happy to still have it in my possession now; A highly sought out game that even the “manliest of man” would have no problem owning. Ha!!
Shesez Hey what are you doing here⁉️ Go back to your prison cell and work on the next video!😡 Lol jk, love your love man looking forward for the next video👍🏽
When the n64 came out my parents said I had to give my Super Nintendo to my cousins. I said OK, later to find out they threw it out because they couldn’t figure out how to use it :(
I sold my N64 and all of my games to buy a GameCube, and my dad smashed it only 5 months later when he was drunk and angry. I've never sold any of my games or consoles ever again.
Wow geez, thought it was bad when my Dad switched off power to the house when he was mad at me while I was playing games. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all 😋.
I haven’t had this happen with games but I have an interesting story with books. My dad brought a whole bunch of old Classic Doctor Who books which were published by Target Books, but he eventually sold them years later, and then a few years ago I was in a charity shop and saw some awesome Classic Doctor Who books, so I brought a few for 99p and I brought several over the next few weeks until some collector brought out all of them. Later dad saw me reading one, and told me about how he owned a bunch of them a long time ago, so we opened the book to the first page and we found out that some of mine were dad’s original ones from years and years ago! Isn’t that so cool!?
This is an awesome story! I am a book collector myself, and whenever I find old books I always enjoy seeing personal things written In them, because it gives them more character
I sold Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (complete, great condition) for $50 in 2012 after buying it new for $20 in 2006. I thought I had made a killing. Whoops.
My brother traded away his copy of megaman 4 on the gameboy for my copy of spiderman on the gameboy....... he still hates both himself and me for it over 20 years later :)
I had a “complete” EarthBound, I was missing one of the scratch and sniff stickers from the book. Can’t remember the amount but I sold it to a friend to pay for an engagement ring for my fiancé. It was a time when I wasn’t great with money but I made that life decision!
I sold a copy of FFVI on GBA (that a friend gave me for free no less) because it was worth something and I had zero interest if FF at the time. The pre-order I regret the most is the Pip Boy edition of Fallout 4, I paid over $100 for that thing and have so far played **checks steam** 19 hours so that was money down the drain. I could probably resell it but I honestly just kind of keep it as a warning to myself. Also I agree with you about Silent Hill 1!! Way too often overshadowed by the sequel.
Gabi Mismash I got the pop boy edition for full price and while I got more game time out of it than you did, I still wish I just got the regular game. It’s very cheaply made and out of the box I broke one of the lights that I thought were a button. I just pressed it and *pop*! It’s off. I also ended up throwing away the foam inserts and fake screens, so now I got a dumb looking, blank pip boy on my shelf. I really want to just throw it away, but the bit would be a waste of money. I also wish I could get rid of my huge Max Payne 3 figure that barely looks like Max Payne. At least GTA V gave me a hat and a neat bag that I gave to my dad. At this point, I don’t really buy collector’s editions unless they’re reasonably priced and come with a soundtrack and a steelbook case.
I've never sold my own games once I owned them, but I remember a long time ago, I "adopted" the family N64 (it basically became mine because I was the only nerd in the family) and had my own collection of games I got for myself. Things like Kirby the Crystal Shards, the Pokemon Stadium games, a complete set of Hey You Pikachu!, and a holographic Majora's Mask; all the good stuff. Being young at the time, he ended up stealing and selling my entire N64 collection and console...because he wanted the Xbox 360 when it first released. ...That console red-ringed 3 weeks later. That devastated me for the longest time, especially since Majora's Mask was my favorite Zelda game. Many years after, I "adopted" the N64 collection that my brother randomly decided to start then abandoned, but I've yet to fully recollect all the games he sold back then. :(
I can relate so hard to the intro. When i was moving with my family to where i am now i had to sell tons of my games and i didnt really think about the ones i sold back then and i regret selling so many of those games.
I can totally relate to this. I've been rebuying my childhood videogames, I'm 30 now I barely even play with them but the nostalgia value is just too hight for me. I wish I never sold them in the first place. When I have kids, I'll teach them to sherish what they have and think through things before acting on getting rid of them. Great vid as always btw!
@@dialga236 blaming capitalism for every single thing is essentially the "i dont actually understand how anything related to money works, but i wanna sound clever" route
David Bannister I bought as soon as the price dropped. Also I payed for minish cap cartridge literally two days before it was on Wii U Vc. Rebought it from VC and just played it there.
Here I sit as one of those many people that decided to start re-collecting what they had when they were younger but after the retro boom. Prices are so ridiculous on some things but of course the nostalgia wins out.
@@Rj_2099 Not Xenoblade but I saw a fairly cheap copy of Last Story on Wii and went with No More Heroes instead because I had just watched a let's play and was therefore still high on that game.
@@Rj_2099 Tending at $45 to $50+S&H is expensive? Don't look at Xenosaga Episode III for PS2, Castlevaina: Sympathy of Night, or Alundra for the PS1 then. They'll make your head spin. Luckily I still have my copies.
xxAntiOtakuxx I only played Sotn recently and therefore was very late to the party, so when I wanted to get a physical copy for my collection, they were all $50+. Maybe one day when I have some money to blow.
I was 10 years old and just started on Magic: The Gathering. My cousin had just retired from the game and gave all his cards to me. It contained a playset of Force of Wills. It said "pay 1 life" and thought that sucked big time from my oh-so-precious 20 life. Knowing no better, I give my FoWs away. 😭😭😭
I sold my Dreamcast with a couple of games to get a PS2 at a point where both were still available in stores - must've been 2001, because I remember it was shortly after the release of Gran Turismo 3 and definitely before 9/11. Financially speaking, it was the correct decision, because I don't think I'd get more money out of it today (games like Crazy Taxi, RE: Code Veronica, Sonic Adventure, and Soul Calibur are very cheap now compared to then). My only regret is that that I didn't put enough time in some of the games when they were new; especially Code Veronica. I still own that PS2 btw. (including all of my games) - it's probably the console I've played on the most and have the best memories with.
I can find them for around $45 with all cables and a controller. I just play backup copies because all the originals are hard to find in my town. I also refuse to pay collector prices for something I am actually going to play (like sealed copies or complete copies).
I love Derek's collection videos. They just feel so personal; sure, I like seeing people show off their boxed copies of Earthbound and all, but Derek collects what what is important to him, and that's so much cooler. That what collecting means to me.
My biggest purchase regret at the moment is last year I bought a boxed japanese Panzer Dragoon Orta Xbox Console for a whole lotta $. I lost my job a week later and couldn't return it. luckily im in a better spot now and kept the console.
Reminds me of when I sold my collection of Gamecube games to a local mom and pop shop that went under a few years later. The real kicker is I learned some of them are pretty valuable now like Twilight Princess (which might have become cheaper for all I know since that HD version dropped), but the real painful one was I sold Chibi-Robo. That game is so ridiculously expensive now and I still enjoyed that game too. I guess the logic I had was the same mentioned in the video, feeling I was getting too old for video games.
I bought the Bayonetta Nonstop Climax Edition for the Switch for 150 bucks largely because it’s the only way to get a physical copy of the 1st game on the switch. Now it’s going for 400 bucks. Totally worth it :)
Nintendo (or maybe Platinum) were such complete asses with how they sold that game. I can get doing a special edition bundle of the two games plus some little extras, but not selling the game separate as well is complete assery.
Derek, I’ve been watching that 3 part playthrough of Clock Tower 2 of yours practically every week since it came out 5 years ago. For some reason, I absolutely love to listen to it when I go to sleep. One of my favorite video series on UA-cam!
I owned Magic Knight Rayearth and Panzer Dragoon Saga and traded them both in to a mom and pop store in favor of an early copy of Final Fantasy XII. I use ODEs and flashcarts exclusively to make sure I never do something that boneheaded ever again.
I was out bid on a copy of magic Knight rayearth on the Saturn signed by Vic himself. I finally found a nice lady that just wanted to sell her version to someone that would enjoy it instead of a reseller. I did get lunar 1 and two, popful mail, and shinning wisdom signed by him though.
When I was 10, I lent my good PS1 games to my mum's boyfriends daughter, this small collection included Puchi Carat, 40 Winks, Bishi Bashi Special, Klonoa and Megaman 8 (I forget if there was a 6th game). Basically there was a very messy break up and I never saw his daughter or those games again. Years later in 2009, I was very new to ebay, had just got myself a bank account and decided to look up Megaman 8 because I wanted to get it back, not realising that games climb in price over time, it was at least £80-100+ and since then, I still haven't replaced it but one day hopefully I can ;; The only thing I have leftover from the collection is the Bishi Bashi Special manual. I have a job nowadays so I'm definitely gonna be looking at trying to get my childhood collection back!!
SH4 is the weakest of the 4 SH games. It has its flaws and the mechanics are jank sometimes, but the story is phenomenal. It's definitely #4 out of 4, but it's still a great game and a great SH game. Anyone who says otherwise has a fundamental misunderstanding of the SH series as a whole or is simply not a fan. EDIT: yea, just watched the video until that point. He's claiming nobody knows what was going on with SH4. Sorry. The story is like 98% solid and is fully explained and ties perfectly to the other three games. Go watch AnEternalEnigma's or NubZombie's reviews and in-depth story playthroughs of it if you're confused about it. TwinPerfect did an ok job, but their reviews on a lot of things were lacking. Plus, they're just shitty people with the exception of Fungo. Don't support them. Except Fungo.
I really love number 4. That first-person stuff is fantastic, and the fact that enemies are basically immortal REALLY sells the horror. The story isn't as good as the others, but the horror in general I love more than any of the other games.
SH4 was the first one I played, I remember staying up late at a friends and playing the demo on one of those sampler discs. Scared the shit of out me and that part where you find that lady dead with the numbers etched on her chest blew my mind, I’d never played a horror game before, went home and played the PC version and loved it. Being trapped in a room was such an interesting idea. SH1/2 were masterpieces but that doesn’t make SH4 a bad game at all. It was good, just not incredible. The story is my favorite though.
Ugh, this reminds me how much I loathe game collecting these days. I'm just going to hold onto the games I bought when I was a kid and that's it. It was nice being able to pick up boxes of SNES/Genesis games for a few bucks at garage sales as a poor kid.
I remember going to flea markets in the early 2000's, and people seriously didn't know what they had. My brother and I purchased so many NES and SNES classics for cents. I doubt we'd ever get that lucky again.
I remember being short on cash in 1999 for buying an N64 and selling my first SNES with 13 games for $25. This was a terrible deal for me, but great for the used game store I sold my collection! If only I had been more patient haha.
You are just bringing up the memories. A high school friend sold my Chrono Trigger out from under me. I also bought every other port trying to fill that hole but lost those in some moves. Now I buy digital, I probably can't lose those, I hope.
I had a game boy micro in really good condition when I was little and I vaguely remember my parents selling it for maybe 40 bucks at a game store. I didnt realize they weren't super common and how much the usually went for until years later.
I did buy some games. I even had a small collection of very lovable PSP games. Then I got screwed up the behind so hard by society I had to sell everything, and I've never recovered enough to rebuild that collection.
I still have mine, but one time I was running late for something and had it in my pocket and tripped. Didn't receive any major damage, but had a very small chip on the top of it and a single scratch on the screen and pisses me off like hell every time I see it.
reminds me of the time i bought a second-hand complete copy of Earthbound for $5 at a flea market, beat the game, then sold it at a resale shop for $10... in 1997, before people cared about it enough for the price to spike. I was happy I made a profit, but i'm still kicking myself for not holding onto the game.
Finaly someone within the same age as me 😊 and remember that most SNES Games back then where just Old games! I remember starting around the late 90s with my collection! MD/-Genesis,Sega CD,32X and SNES where so cheap back then because everyone wanted to play PS1 or N64!
@@datamanmachine That's why the late SNES games like Chrono Trigger and Mario RPG are so rare, because no one wanted them! Why would anyone pay $80 for a SNES RPG when they could just buy a brand new shiny PlayStation game for $40? Manufacturers knew this, so production numbers were very low!
Every time I see Derek bring up his copy of Clock Tower 2 I always giggle and remember that I've had my copy since launch lol. Then I remember how mad I was when I first played it.
i sold my copy of skies of arcadia for gamecube for a dollar. still upset about that one i also bought a game on snes called musya for 100usd. i had mixed it up with hagane for some reason. anyway musya is hot garbage and i still regret it
Hagane is extremely overpriced, if you ever get a chance try finding a japanese cart, they're about $50-$70 on average. Sucks about Skies though, I can't believe what people are selling it for these days, I hope it gets a remaster soon.
@@StopSkeletonsFromFighting yea dude, at the time my local gameshop was selling it for 15 dollars so i didnt think much of it (it was while it was fairly new). sucked pretty hard when i went to rebuy it and it jumped so high.
I once sold my entire NES collection, including 2 (sorta) working consoles and about 300+ games for $50, about 15 years ago. Man, I wish i knew how the retro nostalgia market would explode...
My biggest regrets for sales were selling my gaming collection when I was with my ex to support us. Sold my .hack set and ended up rebuying it years later
I don't necessarily have things I regret selling, since I've always considered my games a collection, even when I was a kid and a teen. But I do have lots of games that were stolen from me by "friends" that I would let borrow them. I learned a hard lesson at a young age to not trust anyone with your things unless you are 100% they respect your property.
Sometimes we gotta learn things the hard way. I'm kind of glad I picked up that mentality early, because kids today must be getting robbed easily with how small Switch cartridges are.
I sold all my games/collectors editions and statues/figures last year, zero regrets, very happy to get rid of everything. Stopped collecting altogether. I found out (for me), that collecting raises anxiety and FOMO on a daily and weekly basis. Nostalgia has become a maintenance obsession. I feel much more at peace now that I got rid of my nostalgia obsession. Letting go of your childhood can be very difficult! we try our best to hold onto it, to do that, we have to keep buying items that reminds us of it.
I don't get people who say that they had thoughts of 'I'm too old for games'. That mentality never entered my mind. It's kind of like people who feel embarrassed to be seen playing games in public. I don't get it.
ehn, in a way it's kinda like when I got into my 20s and started thinking I didn't want to listen to heavy metal anymore. that phase didn't last too long lol
Been watching you for years. I have played a bunch of stuff purely because you recommended it, most notably Sweet Home, Clash at Demonhead and Earthbound. I have yet to play something you recommended that I didn't love so thank you.
I sold all my commodore stuff after my dad died. Almost immediately regretted it. Wound up spending hundreds of dollars a decade later, when I sold the originals for like $100 :(
I sold my entire SNES collection, which had nearly every RPG in it, in order to buy the PS1 and a bunch of games. I love my PS1, and I bought some great games, but I still feel burned by that decision to this day.
I bought Chrono Trigger on PSN store on PS3. Imo, it was unplayable. A loading pause every time the screen changed or just going to the stat screen. But the Wii store version is perfect.
@@PikaLink91 It's not unplayable per say, but the loading stop in the PS1 version of Chrone Trigger (even on emulators) is very annoying. Especially if you are used to the SNES version, where everything is almost instantaneous.
@@RedSunFX I'll give you that, if you were used to SNES the loading times on PS1 would be a downgrade, personally though I wasn't too bothered by it. In battle especially, where enemies keep attacking unless you are in a menu, it gave me an extra couple of sec to think over my strategy. And those anime sequences were all worth it man.
@@PikaLink91 The anime sequences were the main reason I wanted to do a replay on the PS1 version. However, the loading time dampened my enthusiasm. Maybe I will try the DS version or even the PC port if they have fixed all the issues with it.
@@RedSunFX The DS version is definitely the definitive experience, only held back for me personally by the new translation that removed Frog's old english accent.
I was a huge fan of Avatar the last Airbender. And after Nickelodeon aired the black Sun special, the show was gone for several weeks. I was so desperate for more Avatar stuff, I bought "Avatar the Burning Earth" for Nintendo DS. After a week or two I was able to beat the game, despite the insane last challenge with Aang and Katara cutting the pillars. Needless to say it was not a good game, and there was a frustrating screenshot of an Appa riding level on the back that never appeared in the game. I soon decided to use it with my Action Replay, where I found it would freeze constantly. I took the game back to GameStop with my receipt. Although this was a long time after the period when you can return your games, I was able to convince the lady to let me return it simply by stating it would freeze constantly(Which was technically not a lie). She gave me back all my money for it, and I've been thankful she did ever since.
ya gotta find the playthrough he did with Calvin waaay back in the day (either ssff live, or Space Money Octagon channel has it). Gets you the story and you get to see, in real time, Derek go from "We're about to play this. I spent too much money, but this is GARBAGE! :D" to "Why are we playing this? I spent too much money, and this is garbage. :("
I paid $2.99 for clock tower 2 at goodwill and I LOVED the first chapter. And then it got really bad. I liked having it because it completed my ntsc clock tower collection and it was in good shape but it was the first game I went to sell when I needed some cash a few years later.
I remember when I was in high school I started watching a lot of game hunting videos which somehow convinced me to go crazy and buy tons of cheap games from thrift stores I had no interest in. I got rid of most of them a couple years later, don't regret it, and now am very selective about what games I buy.
Share regret stories!!! My first videogames ever, were Adventure in the Magical Kingdom and Black Manta. I got a top loading nes and those games in 1992. And they worked amazingly till 2000 when I left my country and sold them to a friend. I wish I had convinced my mom to take them along. I truly, truly miss them.
My only real regret was not getting a copy of Shantae I saw at a game store a few years back. It was 1/3 the price it goes for now, though prices have gone down recently.
Selling my Dreamcast around 2003. The Dreamcast and my N64 are the only two systems I still miss. My sister took my N64, and still has it, so I'm OK with that one.
ZekeTheUltimateTitan 80 I notice Lords of Shadow is very divisive among the Castlevania fans. I loved all three games and thought they were great, but other people downright hated them because they had stealth sections in two and Shadow of the Colossus rip off bosses in 1, both minor issues in my opinion and didn’t affect me or the game at all. Why didn’t you like Lords of Shadow?
@@Ckoz2829 Well honestly it didn't feel like Castlevania at all and for me was very tedious and really boring. There were some cool things but mostly the game was a forgettable experience that was very repetitive and lacked the soul of Castlevania. Kick ass Castlevania music isn't there, characters are uninteresting the story and plot twist is not really something special and it is not fun to play at all. The only good thing is that the graphics still hold up and the voice acting is good, everything else is just a neverending train wreck. I don't know how the first LoS game is the best selling Castlevania game it sure as hell doesn't deserve to have sold that well.
As a game per se LoS it's not bad, especially for when it came out: the setting it's quite well done and it showed the graphical power of the "next" gen consoles. But Castlevania lament of Innocence is a true Castlevania game, and among one of the best.
Sold a bunch of N64, DC and PS games to get a GameCube. Now I love my GC especially when I went into Gamestop and got the deal I really wanted. Originally I got a used GC but a week later I took it back and got a new GC with a brand new GB player. Years later I wanted those games back in my collection. Even though I traded in all of those games and yes bought most of them back. I still look at it as how it shaped me as a collector. All of my games have a story to them. Some stories are great others not so much but I could explain how I got my games or where I got them for each one I own. Great video!
shoesifer GMR Was it garbage, though? I never played it, but I always here people talk highly about it. It’s one of those games I have to watch because playing it is too expensive.
It is a verrrrrry niche game. You have to really be into the story to press on because the gameplay is complete garbage, even fans of the game can attest that much. But the story is beautifully heartbreaking once/if you get past that.
I loved the Castlevania 64 and Lemont of innocence, the music was amazing. That sucks you didn't enjoy them. Silent hill 4 is good, i just really hated that those zombie spirits just can't be killed. That made it horrifically frustrating.
My regret was Kingdom Hearts 3 deluxe edition. Not only was I disappointed with that game but the artbook was bare and had 3d models instead of like drawings so i was more disappointed. And it goddamn had two game boxes like why?@
I was actually glad it had two game boxes, the normal and the steelbook, I hate it when a deluxe edition only comes with the steelbook, because it looks horrible in my collection. That said, I don't regret getting the deluxe edition, because I am... err was, a Kingdom Hearts fan, but I regret being so disappointed.
Theres a goodwill where my family always vacations. A few years back, a ps2 was there for 20 bucks. I ultimately decided against it. I've regretted it since. I see ps2 games everywhere and it has such a massive library of games I want to play. A month ago when we went I found a ps1 slim in a salvation army with mega man x5 and a dual shock all for 20 bucks. I did not make the same mistake.
I almost bought an Atari 2600 for about 20 bucks at an estate sale , I saw it and thought " I don't want to have to carry that around while I keep looking around" I then watched some couple swoop in and buy the console for the suitcase that it was in minutes later.
Not buying _Haunted Grounds_ when it was released since Best Buy had it for half off. When I finally did buy it, it was over $150. Selling my limited edition version of _Sonic Adventure_ for $5.00 so I could buy the crappy GC port. It now goes for over half a grand.
I traded in the first shadow hearts game when I needed to make rent a few year back and got back into game collecting recently with the second and third in the series. The first still eludes me this far.

Hahahaha that is such a good story. You could still ask? I would love Derek to give you an autograph for an overpriced bleh PS1 game =D
I mean, it's a bad game, but it's worth 300$ + CIB these days. It's a good item for collecting.

Honestly, you shouldn't regret it.

On a lark, I opened up the map and saw the markings I had made to indicate where levels 7, 8, and 9 all were! And that is how I ended up re-purchasing the very same copy of Zelda that I had sold.
Mine kinda got sold by accident.
Was the copy I had played the fishing mini game with my granddad on and using his advice caught the biggest bass I had ever come across (in Hyrule lol).
It was saved on that cart and was sentimental to me but it's long gone now.
Also I found that cart on a wim going into a thrift store in my speck of a little town.
They wanted 5 bucks I pointed out how dirty it was got it for 3.
Cleaned it with coconut rum and it worked like a charm.
When I was 11 my mom put all of my games into a storage locker because we were homeless (and then moving). We had an NES, N64, Sega Genesis, Commodore 64, etc. She ended up deciding that drugs were better than everything in that storage locker. We lost it all.
That's awful! Sorry that you had to go through that.
Remember, if you do drugs, you go to hell before you die.

You're part of the reason why lol

Once a game is that cheap people who keep one or two copies aren't the problem.
Here4daTACOS - I remember picking up Shantae for the Game Boy Color for $29.99 and the moron at EB Games laughed at me and said, “ Why are people asking about a game with a girl playable character? Who would that game?”
Years later, last laugh dummy!!! Not only do I own a really great game that is herald by critics as a very polished and ahead of it’s time, but is a technical marvel, developed by WAYFORWARD and published by CAPCOM, two of the greatest video game companies to-date.
To add insult to injury, there were less than 16,500 copies made worldwide and the cost for complete-in-box is well-over $250!
I was very happy when I initially purchased Shantae and I am more than extremely happy to still have it in my possession now; A highly sought out game that even the “manliest of man” would have no problem owning. Ha!!

When the n64 came out my parents said I had to give my Super Nintendo to my cousins. I said OK, later to find out they threw it out because they couldn’t figure out how to use it :(
I gave all my childhood PC games to my aunt when my cousins got their first computer. I am still kicking myself, and she doesn't even remember it now.
Ah. That hurts a lot man. Like I feel your pain D:
I sold my N64 and all of my games to buy a GameCube, and my dad smashed it only 5 months later when he was drunk and angry. I've never sold any of my games or consoles ever again.
Wow geez, thought it was bad when my Dad switched off power to the house when he was mad at me while I was playing games. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all 😋.
That's so sad, I'm so sorry that happened to you.
@@LadyBrightcynder it's been almost 20 years. I'm over it. Thanks though
I haven’t had this happen with games but I have an interesting story with books. My dad brought a whole bunch of old Classic Doctor Who books which were published by Target Books, but he eventually sold them years later, and then a few years ago I was in a charity shop and saw some awesome Classic Doctor Who books, so I brought a few for 99p and I brought several over the next few weeks until some collector brought out all of them. Later dad saw me reading one, and told me about how he owned a bunch of them a long time ago, so we opened the book to the first page and we found out that some of mine were dad’s original ones from years and years ago! Isn’t that so cool!?
This is an awesome story! I am a book collector myself, and whenever I find old books I always enjoy seeing personal things written In them, because it gives them more character
I sold Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (complete, great condition) for $50 in 2012 after buying it new for $20 in 2006. I thought I had made a killing.
Whoops.
A friend of mine got a CiB copy from a garage sale for $2.
Oh man, this hurts my heart.
Did you happen to sell it on ebay?
Same story. Sold it for 75. Still good, but I wasn't playing it again
How did you get it for only 20 bucks in 2006? One year after it released, because of next gen beginning perhaps? Was it new?
I sold a complete in box SD Snatcher a friend in Japan sent me. I will regret that forever.
Yikes, I'd never sell something a friend sent me. Even if I didn't like the game.
I traded Gunstar Heroes to a friend in grade school for the Pagemaster game for Genesis.
I hate myself still.

I had a “complete” EarthBound, I was missing one of the scratch and sniff stickers from the book. Can’t remember the amount but I sold it to a friend to pay for an engagement ring for my fiancé. It was a time when I wasn’t great with money but I made that life decision!
Not the worst reason, I hope you two are happy.
I sold a copy of FFVI on GBA (that a friend gave me for free no less) because it was worth something and I had zero interest if FF at the time.
The pre-order I regret the most is the Pip Boy edition of Fallout 4, I paid over $100 for that thing and have so far played **checks steam** 19 hours so that was money down the drain. I could probably resell it but I honestly just kind of keep it as a warning to myself.
Also I agree with you about Silent Hill 1!! Way too often overshadowed by the sequel.
I know it's a small amount for a fallout game, but If get 19 hours out of a game I call it a win.
I had Earthbound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thr first one is my favorite and the one I played the most. 2 definitely runs next with most playthroughs.

I got the pop boy edition for full price and while I got more game time out of it than you did, I still wish I just got the regular game. It’s very cheaply made and out of the box I broke one of the lights that I thought were a button. I just pressed it and *pop*! It’s off. I also ended up throwing away the foam inserts and fake screens, so now I got a dumb looking, blank pip boy on my shelf. I really want to just throw it away, but the bit would be a waste of money.
I also wish I could get rid of my huge Max Payne 3 figure that barely looks like Max Payne. At least GTA V gave me a hat and a neat bag that I gave to my dad.
At this point, I don’t really buy collector’s editions unless they’re reasonably priced and come with a soundtrack and a steelbook case.
I've never sold my own games once I owned them, but I remember a long time ago, I "adopted" the family N64 (it basically became mine because I was the only nerd in the family) and had my own collection of games I got for myself. Things like Kirby the Crystal Shards, the Pokemon Stadium games, a complete set of Hey You Pikachu!, and a holographic Majora's Mask; all the good stuff. Being young at the time, he ended up stealing and selling my entire N64 collection and console...because he wanted the Xbox 360 when it first released.
...That console red-ringed 3 weeks later.
That devastated me for the longest time, especially since Majora's Mask was my favorite Zelda game. Many years after, I "adopted" the N64 collection that my brother randomly decided to start then abandoned, but I've yet to fully recollect all the games he sold back then. :(
Not a game, but I almost sold my Mom's first pressing vinyl copy of Purple Rain. Boy, did I dodge that bullet of regret!
Good call, extremely good actually
I can relate so hard to the intro. When i was moving with my family to where i am now i had to sell tons of my games and i didnt really think about the ones i sold back then and i regret selling so many of those games.
Sold my SNES Chrono Trigger unopened for $900. it was hard to do.
should of been 1000.
That's worth it imo. $900 is alot and you can easily buy a opened cib copy and still have alot left over.
At least you got good value for it.
I can totally relate to this. I've been rebuying my childhood videogames, I'm 30 now I barely even play with them but the nostalgia value is just too hight for me. I wish I never sold them in the first place. When I have kids, I'll teach them to sherish what they have and think through things before acting on getting rid of them. Great vid as always btw!

Sold my Dreamcast with all the best games. Probably worth 500$+ now easy 😅
ouch
I sold my Dreamcast with a couple of games to get a PS2 at a point where both were still available in stores - must've been 2001, because I remember it was shortly after the release of Gran Turismo 3 and definitely before 9/11. Financially speaking, it was the correct decision, because I don't think I'd get more money out of it today (games like Crazy Taxi, RE: Code Veronica, Sonic Adventure, and Soul Calibur are very cheap now compared to then). My only regret is that that I didn't put enough time in some of the games when they were new; especially Code Veronica. I still own that PS2 btw. (including all of my games) - it's probably the console I've played on the most and have the best memories with.
Rookie mistake.
I can find them for around $45 with all cables and a controller. I just play backup copies because all the originals are hard to find in my town. I also refuse to pay collector prices for something I am actually going to play (like sealed copies or complete copies).
@@ProjectZro yea I might end up doing that. Loved the Dreamcast
I love Derek's collection videos. They just feel so personal; sure, I like seeing people show off their boxed copies of Earthbound and all, but Derek collects what what is important to him, and that's so much cooler. That what collecting means to me.
My biggest purchase regret at the moment is last year I bought a boxed japanese Panzer Dragoon Orta Xbox Console for a whole lotta $. I lost my job a week later and couldn't return it. luckily im in a better spot now and kept the console.
Reminds me of when I sold my collection of Gamecube games to a local mom and pop shop that went under a few years later. The real kicker is I learned some of them are pretty valuable now like Twilight Princess (which might have become cheaper for all I know since that HD version dropped), but the real painful one was I sold Chibi-Robo. That game is so ridiculously expensive now and I still enjoyed that game too. I guess the logic I had was the same mentioned in the video, feeling I was getting too old for video games.
I bought the Bayonetta Nonstop Climax Edition for the Switch for 150 bucks largely because it’s the only way to get a physical copy of the 1st game on the switch. Now it’s going for 400 bucks. Totally worth it :)
Duncan McOkiner Probably because of Nintendo being cheapskates ugh
xiaguan whisky It’s indeed a beautiful game though the PS3 version is a very crappy port. The PC version finally gave it the justice it deserves
arondyte318 got 1+2 on wii u for $7 lol
Daniel Requena that’s a good deal. A bnew Wii U version costs around 60 - 70 bucks I believe
Nintendo (or maybe Platinum) were such complete asses with how they sold that game. I can get doing a special edition bundle of the two games plus some little extras, but not selling the game separate as well is complete assery.

When I was 10, I lent my good PS1 games to my mum's boyfriends daughter, this small collection included Puchi Carat, 40 Winks, Bishi Bashi Special, Klonoa and Megaman 8 (I forget if there was a 6th game).
Basically there was a very messy break up and I never saw his daughter or those games again. Years later in 2009, I was very new to ebay, had just got myself a bank account and decided to look up Megaman 8 because I wanted to get it back, not realising that games climb in price over time, it was at least £80-100+ and since then, I still haven't replaced it but one day hopefully I can ;;
The only thing I have leftover from the collection is the Bishi Bashi Special manual.
I have a job nowadays so I'm definitely gonna be looking at trying to get my childhood collection back!!
Silent hill 4 is a great game I don't know what your talking about
Agreed. Which one of the first four is your favorite?
Im going with the orginal myself.
SH4 is the weakest of the 4 SH games. It has its flaws and the mechanics are jank sometimes, but the story is phenomenal. It's definitely #4 out of 4, but it's still a great game and a great SH game. Anyone who says otherwise has a fundamental misunderstanding of the SH series as a whole or is simply not a fan.
EDIT: yea, just watched the video until that point. He's claiming nobody knows what was going on with SH4. Sorry. The story is like 98% solid and is fully explained and ties perfectly to the other three games. Go watch AnEternalEnigma's or NubZombie's reviews and in-depth story playthroughs of it if you're confused about it. TwinPerfect did an ok job, but their reviews on a lot of things were lacking. Plus, they're just shitty people with the exception of Fungo. Don't support them. Except Fungo.
@@MosesMedinaE Ethier 2 or 4
I really love number 4. That first-person stuff is fantastic, and the fact that enemies are basically immortal REALLY sells the horror. The story isn't as good as the others, but the horror in general I love more than any of the other games.
SH4 was the first one I played, I remember staying up late at a friends and playing the demo on one of those sampler discs. Scared the shit of out me and that part where you find that lady dead with the numbers etched on her chest blew my mind, I’d never played a horror game before, went home and played the PC version and loved it. Being trapped in a room was such an interesting idea. SH1/2 were masterpieces but that doesn’t make SH4 a bad game at all. It was good, just not incredible. The story is my favorite though.
Ugh, this reminds me how much I loathe game collecting these days. I'm just going to hold onto the games I bought when I was a kid and that's it. It was nice being able to pick up boxes of SNES/Genesis games for a few bucks at garage sales as a poor kid.
I remember going to flea markets in the early 2000's, and people seriously didn't know what they had. My brother and I purchased so many NES and SNES classics for cents. I doubt we'd ever get that lucky again.
I remember being short on cash in 1999 for buying an N64 and selling my first SNES with 13 games for $25. This was a terrible deal for me, but great for the used game store I sold my collection! If only I had been more patient haha.
You are just bringing up the memories. A high school friend sold my Chrono Trigger out from under me. I also bought every other port trying to fill that hole but lost those in some moves. Now I buy digital, I probably can't lose those, I hope.
Derek you hurt me. I absolutely love Lament of Innocence. I kid about the hurt but I do love the game.

Yeah, I wouldn't do that. John Riggs thinks setting up a Raspberry Pi is difficult. No way would I trust him with a copy of Chrono Trigger.
I don't necessarily have things I regret selling, since I've always considered my games a collection, even when I was a kid and a teen. But I do have lots of games that were stolen from me by "friends" that I would let borrow them. I learned a hard lesson at a young age to not trust anyone with your things unless you are 100% they respect your property.
Sometimes we gotta learn things the hard way. I'm kind of glad I picked up that mentality early, because kids today must be getting robbed easily with how small Switch cartridges are.
Anytime I hear the words "pawn shop" it makes my soul hurt a little. Some of the worst places on earth.

I sold all my games/collectors editions and statues/figures last year, zero regrets, very happy to get rid of everything. Stopped collecting altogether. I found out (for me), that collecting raises anxiety and FOMO on a daily and weekly basis. Nostalgia has become a maintenance obsession. I feel much more at peace now that I got rid of my nostalgia obsession. Letting go of your childhood can be very difficult! we try our best to hold onto it, to do that, we have to keep buying items that reminds us of it.
I don't get people who say that they had thoughts of 'I'm too old for games'. That mentality never entered my mind. It's kind of like people who feel embarrassed to be seen playing games in public. I don't get it.

@@RedSunFX I'll give you that, if you were used to SNES the loading times on PS1 would be a downgrade, personally though I wasn't too bothered by it.

Although this was a long time after the period when you can return your games, I was able to convince the lady to let me return it simply by stating it would freeze constantly(Which was technically not a lie). She gave me back all my money for it, and I've been thankful she did ever since.
I don't think you explain WHY you bought Clocktower 2 - why did you hunt it down?
ya gotta find the playthrough he did with Calvin waaay back in the day (either ssff live, or Space Money Octagon channel has it).
Gets you the story and you get to see, in real time, Derek go from "We're about to play this. I spent too much money, but this is GARBAGE! :D" to "Why are we playing this? I spent too much money, and this is garbage. :("
I paid $2.99 for clock tower 2 at goodwill and I LOVED the first chapter. And then it got really bad. I liked having it because it completed my ntsc clock tower collection and it was in good shape but it was the first game I went to sell when I needed some cash a few years later.
Music alright? You should really revisit the Lament of Innocence ost at least instead of playing it, it has some great tracks.
Lament of Innocents OST is great
Truth, it's a fantastic Yamane score :)
I remember when I was in high school I started watching a lot of game hunting videos which somehow convinced me to go crazy and buy tons of cheap games from thrift stores I had no interest in. I got rid of most of them a couple years later, don't regret it, and now am very selective about what games I buy.
I sold Star Wars Battlefront 2 on PSP for $5 like ten years ago and I'm still sad
cfw is the way my bro
@@71bw trust me i've got it now
Share regret stories!!!
My first videogames ever, were Adventure in the Magical Kingdom and Black Manta. I got a top loading nes and those games in 1992. And they worked amazingly till 2000 when I left my country and sold them to a friend.
I wish I had convinced my mom to take them along. I truly, truly miss them.
I wish I would have kept my SNES FF Mystic Quest. Don't come @ me.
My only real regret was not getting a copy of Shantae I saw at a game store a few years back. It was 1/3 the price it goes for now, though prices have gone down recently.
Yo is that the SNATCHER Vinyl LP I see on the back?!
Yeah I think limited run games or iam8bit was selling it when they had a vinyl sale a while back
Selling my Dreamcast around 2003. The Dreamcast and my N64 are the only two systems I still miss. My sister took my N64, and still has it, so I'm OK with that one.
Well me personally I hated the Castlevania Lords Of Shadow games but loved the other 3D Castlevania games.

I notice Lords of Shadow is very divisive among the Castlevania fans. I loved all three games and thought they were great, but other people downright hated them because they had stealth sections in two and Shadow of the Colossus rip off bosses in 1, both minor issues in my opinion and didn’t affect me or the game at all. Why didn’t you like Lords of Shadow?
@@Ckoz2829 Well honestly it didn't feel like Castlevania at all and for me was very tedious and really boring. There were some cool things but mostly the game was a forgettable experience that was very repetitive and lacked the soul of Castlevania. Kick ass Castlevania music isn't there, characters are uninteresting the story and plot twist is not really something special and it is not fun to play at all. The only good thing is that the graphics still hold up and the voice acting is good, everything else is just a neverending train wreck. I don't know how the first LoS game is the best selling Castlevania game it sure as hell doesn't deserve to have sold that well.
As a game per se LoS it's not bad, especially for when it came out: the setting it's quite well done and it showed the graphical power of the "next" gen consoles.
But Castlevania lament of Innocence is a true Castlevania game, and among one of the best.
Sold a bunch of N64, DC and PS games to get a GameCube. Now I love my GC especially when I went into Gamestop and got the deal I really wanted. Originally I got a used GC but a week later I took it back and got a new GC with a brand new GB player. Years later I wanted those games back in my collection. Even though I traded in all of those games and yes bought most of them back. I still look at it as how it shaped me as a collector. All of my games have a story to them. Some stories are great others not so much but I could explain how I got my games or where I got them for each one I own. Great video!
Sold rule of rose along time ago before the hype. Thought is was garbage. Yup kicking my self now lol
shoesifer GMR
Was it garbage, though? I never played it, but I always here people talk highly about it. It’s one of those games I have to watch because playing it is too expensive.
It is a verrrrrry niche game. You have to really be into the story to press on because the gameplay is complete garbage, even fans of the game can attest that much. But the story is beautifully heartbreaking once/if you get past that.
I loved the Castlevania 64 and Lemont of innocence, the music was amazing. That sucks you didn't enjoy them. Silent hill 4 is good, i just really hated that those zombie spirits just can't be killed. That made it horrifically frustrating.
My regret was Kingdom Hearts 3 deluxe edition.
Not only was I disappointed with that game but the artbook was bare and had 3d models instead of like drawings so i was more disappointed. And it goddamn had two game boxes like why?@
I was actually glad it had two game boxes, the normal and the steelbook, I hate it when a deluxe edition only comes with the steelbook, because it looks horrible in my collection. That said, I don't regret getting the deluxe edition, because I am... err was, a Kingdom Hearts fan, but I regret being so disappointed.
Theres a goodwill where my family always vacations. A few years back, a ps2 was there for 20 bucks. I ultimately decided against it. I've regretted it since. I see ps2 games everywhere and it has such a massive library of games I want to play. A month ago when we went I found a ps1 slim in a salvation army with mega man x5 and a dual shock all for 20 bucks. I did not make the same mistake.
$80? That's pretty typical for a game I don't see what the big deal-
ohh right that's American dollars
Yes real dollars lol
I almost bought an Atari 2600 for about 20 bucks at an estate sale , I saw it and thought " I don't want to have to carry that around while I keep looking around" I then watched some couple swoop in and buy the console for the suitcase that it was in minutes later.
You put an "auction" in? No, you put a *bid* in.
Not buying _Haunted Grounds_ when it was released since Best Buy had it for half off. When I finally did buy it, it was over $150.
Selling my limited edition version of _Sonic Adventure_ for $5.00 so I could buy the crappy GC port. It now goes for over half a grand.
I traded in the first shadow hearts game when I needed to make rent a few year back and got back into game collecting recently with the second and third in the series. The first still eludes me this far.
