Never bet against Capcom games, Many of their less successful games will become desire and people will want them in the future. They have uncommon games in gens 1-5 and highly wanted now. There is like a dozen in the 6 and also they released a lot of one offs in the 7 which will become scarce in the future. Always support their less acclaim franchises like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, DMC or any popular franchise they currently have those would be common because of normie support always go for the less popular and you will save money in the future. The rest of their popular games will be common and cheap like other popular. General advice always support good or interesting tittles that aren't generally what its been supported by the masses.

It's weird to think about that way. I used to buy arcade games in the early 2010s for (relatively) dirt cheap, which even then was late in the hobby, before the normalfags got led to the watering hold and drove prices to astronomical levels. That said, I don't plan to sell, so I'm a poorfag sitting on a mountain of rare and expensive games. People would look at me and think I'm rich, but no, I'm currently a NEET.

>> No.8191620

>>8191605
Truth is, most people who have a ton of expensive games never paid much for them. They're almost always thrift store or yardsale finds, or were purchased at release. This idea that a game currently going to $300 means you need to have spent $300 is fucking retarded.

I just started a new job and I'm making twice as much money as before going back to school.

The time has come for me to secure the games I want before they increase any further. I still try to find relative deals, but I'm considering pretty high ticket collectibles at this point. I haven't crossed four figures yet, but thankfully there are very few of those that I want.

Big buys this year:
>Tron Bonne
>El Viento(CIB)
>DuckTales 2
>Mighty Final Fight

The Saturn port is practically as good as not having it. I have the US Saturn version which I've had for going on 20 years, and a pedestal cab which I've had since the mid-00s (I even have a prototype of the Saturn version which was dumped a few years back). No comparison, the Saturn version is just a hollow imitation. Save your money and buy a cab. If somebody is willing to chunk down $500 for a crappy port, surely they can save up another couple hundred or whatever, clear some space, and get the definitive version. Oh wait, I forgot, full set collectors need that precious Saturn disc regardless, and I guess the cheap Japanese version just isn't good enough.

Not that retard but personally I do think the term gamer is a bit flawed. Gamer is sort of a catch all term for people who play video games but it really doesn't work out like that. To use film terms, Joe Blow who buys tickets to every new marvel film and a person with a genuine passion for film and the techniques that go into making one aren't in the same catchall category of "movie-watchers." There are general audiences and film buffs and it's understood that a film buff has more of an interest in movies and how they're made as opposed to a regular person who enjoys movies simply for the entertainment. I think games are broken up in the same way because I wouldn't consider someone who enjoys games as a distraction on the same level of game-appreciation as someone like myself who owns most mainstream consoles and a large collection to play them on, or someone with a large, curated rom folder on their computer and enjoys dissecting games and discussing how they're made and how they stack up against each other like you and I do. It's just two different types of people. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Legit champions of old, do not endorse over priced paper weights. Games are interactive works of art. Not art to be had alone. Interacting by way of the intended use, is the only way to fully appreciate some of these titles. The mere aesthetic alone, or some portfolio consideration when it comes to certain titles, is cancer. Encasing prototypes without dumping the contents first should be illegal. Parasites the whole bloody lot of them.

i have a new open box chrono trigger for snes. cart never been inserted into a snes before. box and all inserts mint. got it on a trade when i worked at funcoland 17 years ago. i would love to sell it for a loose cart and cash someday.

my most prized game is my lunar sssc for ps1. it's my original copy. always loved the sega cd version and remember preordering it and the day i picked it up. i was 18 at the time and going through lots of changes like all 18 year olds with school, new job, thoughts of the future etc. but i remember being to ecstatic that i was going to play a new version of my favorite sega cd game.

anyways value in terms of money is boring as shit. when i make small talk i never ask what people do for a living. i always ask when they do in their free time for fun. it's way more interesting with more meaningful value.

My Alien Hominid GBA game. Not sure how much it's worth, it only came out in Europe.

The reason I treasure it so much is because I grew up a poorfag, and it was flash and emulation that was one of the big ways I got into games. The first time I played Metal Slug, it wasn't on a NeoGeo, it was shitty flash games built from sprite rips to try and emulate it, for example.

Alien Hominid is a great game in its own right, built by the guys who made the Newgrounds flash portal. Its such a lovely combination of things I love, action platforming, flash, pixel animation, and the GBA.

That combination of rarity and personal value is what makes it my most prized game.
