Just imagine scooping up copies of chrono trigger when people were cashing in their unplayed 16 bit stuff for PS/2 money. Rpgs were always mega niche. It really wasn't till FF7 that it became a big genre. I'd really be interested in seeing sales numbers in the US/CAN of them in the 8-16 bit days versus your average sports game or licensed Acclaim crapfest. Now add in that my Chrono Trigger and FF3 are both boxed n complete, something most games aren't on platforms where the boxes weren't plastic or acrylic keep case types. (And even then many people threw out the cases or manuals just cuz dumb kid or space is an issue so let's throw all the cds into a disk wallet!) Plus games that are now utterly beloved while not huge hits in the time? It'll absolutely add to the "value". But there are a variety of factors in play and rarity is only one. Otherwise a Tandy Color Computer Ultima clone (Gates of Delirium) would have gone for far more than the 220 loose but complete it did last week. Like the Coco was functionally a non entity of a machine with a niche of a fanbase. If it was just pure rarity the game should have sold at much higher a price than 220. (I understand its kinda mediocre so quality isn't gonna be a factor here..) Condition, genre, platform, rarity, notability, the people collecting on the platform.... all of it can matter at making games cost idiotic amounts. Also I wish to thank whoever mad lads or ladettes decided to translate Dungeon Master Nexus on the Saturn. Been wanting to try that one out for years. (Please make the ps1 Ultima Underworld your next project thanks I love you!) Friggin Japanese gamers n publishers showing more love n respect for western RPGs than we do!

Oh hey, Alex also runs a "used video game store" in Nagoya, Japan called CRITICAL＊HIT where you can also play retro games and drink beers. Don't call it a video game bar though or Nintendo will get pissy and try to shut it down again(No joke). If you ever find yourself in Nagoya, then go check it out.

Looks like now they have screens that are already attached to the front glass. When I did mine, it was really simple. The replacement shells are already modified to allow for screen replacements, so no dremel needed, unlike if you wanted to use an original shell.

The FunnyPlaying IPS V3 is a solder optional one, but it’s designed around their replacement shell. So good if you’re doing that as well but can get more than you want if you just want the screen changed. Though that combined with their USB-C battery mod does seem like the easiest “Ultimate build” of any of the handhelds.

I actually just grabbed a GBA off ebay a month or two ago and have a funnyplaying laminated ita kit in the mail hopefully arriving sometime this week. I went with their ITA over their IPS cause it's supposed to be closer to an AGS-101 screen and I don't like to stray that far from stock. Also if you want to get deep in the weeds there's this resource: https://gbwiki.org/en/other/backlightmods.

And the writer of that wiki, Makho, also does incredibly in-depth (hour+ long) installation and testing videos of each kit on his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/makhobutnotthevillageingeorgia/videos Personally i like the laminated Funnyplaying V3 kits as well, and I recommend picking up their buttons/pads as well to ensure the best fit on funnyplaying's custom cases.

I found out that there's a crossover fighting game for the Simple series, the discount game line that ran through the PS1 and PS2 era that tended to be weirdly horny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYexAfFTBt4&t=153s If you don't recognize any of the characters, I wouldn't be shocked since very few of these games made it outside of Japan, though I did spot three characters whose games got western releases. The wildest being a soldier for E.D.F.

Nooooo they sold every copy of Chrono Trigger they made, likely sub 500k and not at discount. I wound up spending. $80 in 1995 money at toys r us Given how Nintendo was all “Cash up front, but we manufacture everything.” with the publishers, it’s really only the true flops that might have wound up in a dumpster. Genesis/Mega Drive? I don’t know about that. Handheld systems I can believe. They made a lot of shovelware, and original gameboy was ‘dead’ by 1994. Game Gear, likewise. Still - I remember a bit about Nintendo being surprised that the 16-32 bit transition was happening so quickly E: https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Trigger#Sales_figures 289,000 of Chrono Trigger from a dead source on squares’s page. Likely just one print run and that’s it. They really don’t share figures. It’s rare enough given the demand. I’d put something like Harvest Moon as “Mega Niche”. I’m not surprised about Pokémon R / B / Y being in demand given how big Pokémon is and there’s a direct lineage from the current generation all the way back to Gameboy.

Yeah, Chrono Trigger only came out 2 months before the release of the Sega Saturn, and the Jaguar, 3DO, and CDI were already out as pseudo-32 bit systems. There were a bunch of SNES RPGs that Square didn't even bother to localize that were released in the next couple years. Mario RPG came out a few months before the launch of the N64, and probably only made it to the US due to being published by Nintendo. If you were someone that was saving up for the next gen system, there was no reason to drop $70-$90 on a SNES RPG at that time unless you were an early 90s Square fan. Apparently the latest games to get "Players Choice" reprints were DKC 3 and Yoshi's Island. And yeah, I never saw any major RPG releases selling at a significant discount when new. Even when they were sold at used game stores like Funcoland in the late 90s and early 00's they still priced them closer to their original price. I think the only exception was Earthbound because Nintendo massively overprinted them and they took up 3x as much space as a regular game.

The fact that FF4, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound and Super Mario RPG never even came out in Europe until the various re-releases should say enough. Heck, Chrono Trigger only first arrived in Europe with the DS version in 2009. Localization for the French, Spanish and German markets most likely also played a role there. However, we did get Secret of Mana, Lufia 2(Renamed to just Lufia and the only SNES game ever to get an official Dutch localization), Final Fantasy Adventure (Renamed Mystic Quest), Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Renamed Mystic Quest Legend) and Terranigma.

They don't have a decompiled version of the game that they can rebuild from scratch or anything, they have to write a tool to hack the script into the rom and that involves a lot more work.
