I dont follow the retro updates all the time but is clear that some retro items always get expensier each year.

So what are the items that you are expecting will increase their prices this 2021?

I expect pretty much the following:

1 - NES games
2 - PSX games
3 - Genesis games

I expect mostly japanese PSX games will increase their value, and like always classic videogames from the NES.

I dont expect much from PS2 games, I think only the most sought titles like Kuon or Suikoden V will get expensier for at least some 30$, other items possible will keep a good price.

So, thats my question, what are the retro items that you are expecting will increase their value next year?

A ton of PlayStation 2 and original Xbox games I think will go up. I think NES and SNES will start to die out since those games and Nintendo 64 games can all be emulated illegally for free Atari 2600 and. NES games and SNES games are vary easy to emulate, and they don't take up much file space to make them even fit on the smallest MINI SD cards out there. and then inserted into some kind of handheld devices and mobile devices. with the PlayStation 1 following close behind then trailing behind, that. the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games.

Emulation has been around since the late 90s. It has never affected game prices.

It's tough to say we have seen a dramatic increase in just about everything since covid.prices are slowly going down now but I don't think they will fall to before covid prices anytime soon.I was surprised to see alot of games that were reasonably priced in the 20 to 30 range shoot up to 100+ im talking about games I had in my collection for 15 or 20 years and I thought would never increase in value.But if I was betting on games increasing it would be the usual suspects Saturn,Nes,Snes,N64,Ps1 and mabey Ps2 and GameCube.

NES games pretty much have leveled out except for already "super rare" titles like Little Samson and Flintsones 2.
Popular games TBH, have held their current value for some time now, Mario and Zelda games have not shot up in value that much. You can still pick up a copy of Mario 3 for $10 and Zelda has been a $15-$20 game for a long time.

PS1 games its mostly the games that age well, games that are early polygon don't age well and most people have a hard time wanting to play them today.
While pixel sprite based games, like Mega Man 8, Silhouette Mirage, Suikoden 1 & 2, Tactics Ogre, FFT, Castlevania etc still look great and more people are looking to want to play these games today.
The exception I would say are horror and maybe RPG games will hold more value, even if they are early polygon.
I have been going after Japanese games and most of the games that are English friendly and only released in Japan seem to be getting more expensive I noticed.

Genesis games, Shooter games will always be sought after and will go up or hold value it feels.
