THUNDERDOME LOSER

FWIW if you're serious about selling these, now's pretty much the best time to be doing it. NES, SNES, and N64 prices have more or less plateaued. GCN probably has some room to grow, but they're nearing the peak. Prices are only going to go downhill as the people who grew up with each of those systems have kids, get bored of collecting them, and then look to sell their own collections.

I thought I was too lazy to sell them and part of why I packed everything under the bed was because we'll be moving in some cats in the near future and that bed frame would be impossible to pull them out from under.

But I also did not realize Bubble Bobble 2 went for > $200.

I'm sore all over today. Gonna browse those lists you posted, might be Real Sore tomorrow.

Edit: Whew. That was the only one of any significant value. My back is safe. (My retirement not so much.)

Regular XBox is going to be the next thing to shoot up, and some titles (esp. Sega ones) have already started

If you decide to sell a few games, I had a great experience offloading a bunch of games on NintendoAge. They're mostly interested in boxed stuff, but you can sell loose carts, memorabilia and whatnot, too. Someone bought an empty NES controller box from me. Do eBay price research (Sold Items only!) and set reasonable prices and stick to them. What didn't sell there after a few months, I moved to eBay. SA Mart is too small an audience for collectibles.

It's impossible to predict how a market will go, but old video games are hot right now, and you don't want to Beanie Baby yourself by waiting for it to get hotter.

SA isn't good for selling stuff. The two times I tried to sell things here one deal fell through due to a lack of correspondence and on the other I got an offer of $40 for a sealed copy of Metroid Zero Mission that was easily going for $180 at the time, and the goon got offended that I wouldn't sell it that low because he was doing me a favor by buying it

But,

Will Travis Strikes Again be a good game all the way through instead of a disjointed treatise on boredom and repetition where roughly the same amount of time is in cutscene as in gameplay like the last 2? Because the track record isnt making me hopeful.

Nintendo games should hold their value since Nintendo fandom produces a lot of virgins, therefore they won't have kids and get bored of collecting useless junk

Not really. I gave up going for 100% like I would in most metroidvanias because the way the world is constructed out of pinball tables made backtracking a huge chore, but the actual story didn't overstay it's welcome and there didn't seem to be any reward for getting all the doodads or post game content in general anyway.

I love how rabbid mario is acting like a gruff, stereotypical italian plumber, complete with a Tough Guy toothpick. It makes for an amazing contrast next to mario.

I heard it's too short for that to happen, but not that the game itself is too short.

Travis Strikes Again looks awful and the first two No More Heroes games are so inconsistent in being good games that holding 3 for ransom isn't nearly tempting enough to get my money. They're amazing when they're good, but the space between is... not. So very not.

Yeah, I hate the whole "buy this thing you don't want so you might get the thing you do want" mentality too. I wanted No More Heroes 3, not Co-Op Furi with a kitschy NMH aesthetic. If he actually ends up making 3 at some point then great I'll buy that when it happens.

What kind of climate do you live in? How are your games stored?

My NES and SNES games all hold saves fine on their original batteries, but I've also known people that have had their games quit saving within a couple of years of purchase and I've never figured out why. It can't just be luck of the draw because ZERO of my NES games have needed battery replacements.

I have them in an indoor storage unit. I haven’t booted them up in ages but I just assumed after 20 years the batteries would be shot.

A while back I complained about the high level quests not giving you supplies, and you guys were like "you should be bringing your own anyway!" But they kept introducing new areas! They can't expect you to bring the correct hot or cold drink when they're sending you to an area you've never been to before!

The only quest I've actually bailed on was the first time I fought a Kirin. I wore thunder weak armor and fainted twice so I quit, put together Khezu armor before trying again.

The Zamtrios fight was just annoying because, as I said, it was the first time I'd been to F. Seaway so I didn't bring hot drinks and used up all the meat I brought, and its' dang swell up and roll attack is literally unavoidable in some parts of the map. Still killed it tho.
