I think I'll have around 2000 games in 5 years if there are enough interesting titles that is.

I'll probably have pretty much all interesting ps1, ps2, gamecube and ds titles by than other collection will be exapnded by allot.

I also hope that I can pickup a neo geo aes console with some games.

I think 360 and PS3 are in the purgatory that every previous gen console gets stuck in. It isn't nostalgic yet and it isn't new and flashy. Not enough time has passed to make us miss It but In 10 years it will be nostalgic and collectible and we will love it again. But right now its all about PS4 and One. Which are pretty much 360 and PS3 with better graphics in all honesty. And it doesn't help that One and PS4 are rereleasing a lot of the gems from last gen on the next gen consoles. It limits are reasons to go back.

What about the wii?

Same period, same gen yet way more games that are actually memorable and definitely raising in price big time.

PS3 And xbox 360 overall just inferior games of ps4 etc. Way less memorable unique games. Titles like the last of us or GTA will never be memorable on those inferior systems and games like journey or certain rpg's are already rising in value. Nothing will chance there aren't to many interesting titles out there anyway for these systems.

Your logic does not make any sense I highly doubt we will see a grow in prices of xbox 360 and ps3 except for the few unique titles and special CE. If it actually was the case than it should have been the same as wii wich it is not.

Just because Wii is raising in price doesn't mean the games are better or more memorable, more people collect for Nintendo then collect for Xbox 360 or PS3. Nintendo products will always hold value more.

 But here are some things you didn't factor

1. Wii U came long before Xbox One and PS4 so Xbox 360 and PS3 haven't been previous gen nearly as long as Wii has. Not nearly as much time has passed. They still make PS3 and 360 games.

2. Wii U is fully backwards compatible allowing Wii games to be played still in HD making them more relevant.

3. Wii sold less copies of most of the games and their are less out there to be bought.

4. PS4 and XB1 have rereleased most of their amazing titles from last gen to this gen basically making it pointless to play or buy the old version. (Nintendo hasn't)


Wii is an amazing system don't get me wrong, but if we go down the line it doesn't have nearly as many memorable titles. and that is the trend with Nintendo since PS1 game out. It dominates with its 1st party must have gems but outside of that Sony and Xbox will have hundreds of third party gems that Nintendo just cant handle spec wise. (Halo, GTA, God Of War, Alan Wake, Bioshock)  And Xbox and PlayStation also have more value in their 3rd party games than Nintendo.  How many Wii games are in the dollar bin at savers? I don't see many Xbox games for a dollar. Once we get outside of first party it just has almost nothing. And even 1st party, Smash Bros Brawl isn't even as good as Melee and i never find myself going back and playing most of the Wii games because Wii U already perfected them and made them better. Why play Super Mario Bros Wii when the Wii U one is better. Why play Mario Kart wii when Mario Kart 8 is night and day better? So your point about them making better versions applies to Nintendo too. Nintendo Wii U improved on many of the Wii Games.

 
And i don't get what you mean by realistic games, do you mean games with good graphics? Because I am not sure if games like god of war and ratchet and clank fall into your opinion of realistic games that you don't like. I don't consider them to be realistic. I consider them to be playful party games like Mario or Zelda.

But in general if we give it some time and we will see increases in value in PS2. It is already starting to happen.  PS1 was always dirt cheap. But look at PS1 now. PS1 has ridiculous prices. Even on common games like crash.  Super sawed after. Even more so than n64. It just takes more time because not as many people collect for Sony or Xbox as they do for Nintendo.

I personally prefer mario kart double dash over mario kart 8 it ain't all better. same goes for the smash series newer ain't always better. Rainbow road has been the worst in mario kart 8 of all time.

Furthermore There are plenty of people who collect for especially ps3. It's cheap affordable hack almost everyone on this forum has a decent amount of ps3 games, I personally think that there are plenty of collectors for ps3 in fact there might be more than for nintendo wii, sony sales are usually better than nintendo anyways.

Back on topic.

I would not compare ratchet and clank and god of war with games like zelda and mario and no those aren't realistic games not a fan of both either. Sony has some good mascots but all are from the ps1 era. Not really mascots but I would have rather seen cloud snake and klonoa as sony mascots. Spyro and crash were okay mascots in ps1 era.

Furthermore ps2 and especially ps1 cannot be compared to ps3.

Most ps2 games that raise in value aren't even ps2 games. Arcade ports and aside from those rpg's and than in the end the unique titles like ico okami, katamari klonoa etc and the usual uncommon horror games etc

Ps1 on the otherhand is full with unique and good games It's by far not in the same league as ps3. Awesome Rpg's shoot em ups and also arcade ports other than that also allot of unique ps1 titles. I Highly doubt we will see a same raise in value like ps1 with the awesome library that it has. Mascots like spyro and crash bandicoot are ruined in the current day, skylanders make spyro games a joke not that the new games were any good anyways and the new crash games are ****. Games like castlevania? well ps3 pretty much killed the franchise with the lords of shadows series at least the ps2 titles were decent. Also, making games available with downloads on a newer console does not make it part of the consoles library it's another way to play an older a game.

Ps1 but also ps2 has allot of memorable titles wich are not easily replaced by other games for the same experience. So many uncommon games wich are unique and fun to play.

That's just my opinion, I personally don't think ps3 will raise in value aside from a very limited amount of games pretty much all rpg's, rare games and a select few unique games and CE.

Also if the ps3 would actually raise in value as you said it would wich ps3 classics would raise in value in your opinion? I'm curious.

Insane pickups

6 $ for all those nes games and all those low prices for n64 lots.

Can't top those pickups with those prices.

That street fighter cabinet is nice. Art work looks interesting.

I know right?! theflea is like the bloodhound of classic gaming.

That's not the worst custom marquee I've ever seen though the naming of it makes me wonder if there's a Rainbow bootleg board in that machine. At least the bezel is legit. 

That DK3 machine is dead sexy and in really nice condition.   

I do agree with you on that the DK machine is the one that collectors want I prefer street fighter myself.

The street fighter cab has interesting art work usually different I do kinda recognize the art from a bootleg cardridge I have. I find it to be interesting so I kept it. Offical art would look different that's true.

Very good comparison, nah I'm kidding, there are plenty of nintendo or sega games that I don't like, would not chance if it was on another console or if it was valuable. Uncharted has a CE wich is worth thousands do I care? No not really.

Another example tetris is from nintendo. One of the games that people love and it is a game that is well known thanks to nintendo a piece of history, well Personally I don't like that game, pretty much everyone likes that game but I don't enjoy playing it and don't see the hype a piece of history. Many people praise that game and even if it is a classic nintendo game I don't want it. Uncharted many praises and awards for grapics at the time, if I don't like a game regardless on wich console i won't play it I won't own it.

If for example mario games were on the sony console and uncharted on nintendo than you can call me a sony fan by default It's about the games not the brand name. If nintendo went the ps3 road and ps3 vice versa I would be a ps3 fan.

Furthermore If i'm a nintendo sega fanboy than why o why do I have more than 100+ ps2 games and or almost 100 ps1 games. If the ps3 was better I might have given it a shot to collect for but in my opinion it's not just very few titles. ps1 and ps2 are nice consoles ps3 not that much in my opinion.

Furthermore I have plenty of games that are worth nothing, I don't care about value else I would also collect survival horror wich I am not a big fan of plenty of excellent titles wich are expensive as well. Came across many survival horror also uncommon and rare titles for cheap, didn't care about them would rather ad other games to the collection.

For example my copy of Tom and jerry war of the whiskers ps2 excellent game excellent replay value yet worthless in value won't see that as trash anytime soon.

Tetris isn't from Nintendo.  Tetris was first made for the Electronika 60 in Russia followed by the Commodore 64 in 1984.  There were several different Tetris games before Nintendo secured rights to released Tetris titles in 1989.

I know that, that's why I said it is especially known thanks to nintendo. gameboy to be exact.

I'd have to agree with gf78, I don't buy games because they are worth a lot of money or not. I buy them because I want to play the damn things. Yeah I own a few rares games and I don't care. It's in my collection because I want it to be. And the reason why I brought my Xbox 360 at the time was because it's what Wal-mart had at the time and I had a huge coupon. Now I stick with Xbox because my online clan are mostly on Xbox (even though a lot of them are shifting to PS4).

I think Sworddude would be singing Uncharted praises if it was a Sega or Nintendo game

With slightly better I mean adding a few things here and there. That's aside from the point.

I've played them nes to wii u games. All games are different and fun to play don't give me that crap about slightly better. What I say applies for ps3 and xbox 360 games since the newer parts aren't that much different. Sega and nintendo titles are memorable and the occasional ps2 titles such as ico and shadow of the collosus.

2D and 3D are different, 2D games can be better than 3D games and he other way around.

Also putting mario games aside I do prefer 2D games, I am a sega guy after all, sega sure does have many good 3D games

Furthermore your going way off topic were talking about why ps3 and xbox 360 games have low value and why the wii actually has value. With what I said before being part of that reason.

Wii games aren't rare and yet titles such as mario and pokemon retain there value the only thing I'm saying is that those titles are unique unlike games such as infamous 1 and 2 the 2nd one being superior and the first one forgotten since the games don't have to much of a variety except for the story. If a next one will be made It;s all about the newest game older games will be forgotten.

Has nothing to do with my opinion.

You are dismissing the entire library of PS3 and 360 games based on the assumption that the sequels are "slightly better by adding a few things here or there."  That is exactly what Nintendo games do!  They are the same formula, they just add a Tanooki suit or whatever for the next game. 

You sit there and sit all NES to Wii games are different and fun to play, yet can't manage to see how someone could enjoy Infamous 1 and Infamous 2, finding things they like about each that wouldn't negate the previous entry.  Have you played Infamous 1 or 2?  Both?  If you had, you would know that the first game is usually considered better than the second.  But you are just pulling an argument out of your ass to bash a system you don't like.  Wanna deny it?  Go back to your statement about if someone gave you PS3 games, you wouldn't want them in your library and would throw them out.  You said that.

It's been a fact all the way back from the NES on that Nintendo-made titles are considered valuable.  Much of that is a more modern trend where resellers are buying up anything made by Nintendo and jacking the prices up.  This wasn't even true five years ago.  You could buy Super Smash Bros. Melee or Zelda Wind Waker for Wii for $5 a pop.  We have this artificial speculator's boom going on, inflating the prices beyond what most people would even pay for the games and suckering in fans who may have missed out before because we live in a society of "I gotta have it!  I gottta have it now!" folks who will blow their money no matter what. 

In addition, Nintendo doesn't release Best of or Greatest Hits games very much anymore and when they do, they are in limited quantities.  Sony and Microsoft on the other hand have no problem releasing Greatest Hits, Platinum Hits or compilations.  Sony has released entire series in "Collections" for some time now.  If you just want to play the game and not collect it, would you spend $80 to buy the PS2 Ratchet & Clank games or just pick up the PS3 Collection for $20?  I will also use this opportunity to say that the Ratchet & Clank games have more heart, charm & fun factor than any 3D Mario entry.

The story is precisely why people love these series that you bash.  But I guess playing "Boop-boop-be-boop!" Sega classics and old Mario games where every damn time Bowser kidnapped the princess is more thrilling than good gameplay and an engaging story to you?  Ok.

And if you want to talk about value, where is the value in Sega games?  You can buy a Sega console these days with every damn game they made already built-in for fifty bucks.  True classics.   

yes I have actually played games like red dead redemtion, infamous, uncharted  and assasins greed I don't like them games deal with it. Didn't care about the story and if the 2nd part of infamous was better or worse than the first one. Plenty of friends have these games so yes again I actually played them games so there is a reason why I find them so bad. Would rather do something else with my free time.

Go back to your statement about if someone gave you PS3 games, you wouldn't want them in your library and would throw them out.  You said that.

I'm not lying I would actually do that believe it. I really don't care about pretty much all of the ps3 library. it's my opinion not a fanboy just zero interest in those games. It's not only for ps3 and xbox 360 games I just don't like to have trash on my shelves.

Again opinions you like mascots such as ratchet and clank while I find them mediocre. The only playstation mascots that are excellent in my eyes are snake and cloud wich both aren't even mascots pretty much a shame.

Also again why talk about value, I also am the kinda guy that get's pretty much all of his games for 5 pop a piece or less even the more expensive older titles in the modern days where these are overpriced.

@Maximo

Again It's my opinion and I do find them to be the worst consoles to be made nothing biased about if It's my opinion

Many people like these systems, seriously why care if one person does not like the ps3 that much.

Furthermore Your misunderstanding the concept with value for the nintendo titles being unique that had nothing to do with ps3 etc being the worst console. That part was about why wii games had value and ps3 and xbox 360 overall not that much.

Who says that I wanted to chance your opinion, plenty of people love the xbox 360, ps3 etc yet I'm not one of those guys.

It is BTW you who actually responded to my post wich was not even intented to you.

I'm pretty sure it is around 80% not that most of the other games are any good anyways. Like I said realistic games are the tradmark of these consoles only reason why I use the term. Never stated it is exactly 80% just an estimate.

95 - 99% of ps3 games suck in my opinion, ps3 and xbox 360 are the worst consoles ever made. I would not even want to see them games like uncharted on my shelves even if i got them for free. Would litterally toss them in the garbage can that's how much i appreciate most of the ps3 xbox 360 console games.

I like especially older games and I pretty much don't care about current gen very few titles that pick my interest.

Also your statement about rehash and little variety is also pretty false for the mario (kart) and smash games allot of things are different. Also the story line of the zelda game is also plenty different from other games i could give examples but there are far to many to state.

Yet with titles as infamous, the next parts are just slightly better and the older games are far inferior and usually not worth it to play once again unless they messed up the new games. With assasins greed only the best titles with a certain time period will be replayed the others will be forgotten.

What is it with you, your hemorrhoids acting up or something?  I'm allowed to reply to posts here.  That's the point of the forum.   

Your statement "Yet with titles as infamous, the next parts are just slightly better and the older games are far inferior and usually not worth it to play once again..." is absolutely ridiculous and a complete contradiction to your collecting habits and statements.  You collect and play games primarily for older systems.  So...do you not play older Mario or Smash games?  You don't play older Zelda games?  As I see it, it's more that you are being a hypocrite and bashing the collective libraries of two of the greatest consoles ever released and saying that once a new game comes out, it's useless to go back and play a previous and crappier entry in a series on them while simultaneously singing the praises of going back and collecting & playing Nintendo and Sega games.  By your reasoning, you have never played a 2D Mario game since Mario 64.  Right?  Because we all know that 2D is inferior to the 3D releases like Galaxy, right?   

With slightly better I mean adding a few things here and there. That's aside from the point.

That's your opinion, Furthermore Realistic or not Games like uncharted etc are not my cup of tea. I'm only mentioning the term realistic since 80% of the enitre library consists of realistic games. The mascots aren't that great allot of unrealistic games on ps3 aren't great either, just my opinion deal with it.

Also not a survival horror game fan, metal gear is nice though the older games that is.

Furthermore I do like my Rpg's but the newer FF games are definitely not for me.

I said you should preface your opinions as such.  Nothing for me to deal with.  It's not like your opinions of PS3 games is going to change the years of enjoyment they have given me.  It's not like your claim that 80% of the library consists of "realistic" games which is categorically false as well. 

Everyone is entitled to feel the way they want.  I mean, you think Sega games are great when in reality the vast majority suck and everyone else knows that.  But hey, opinions right?

Furthermore with all consoles the fast majority sucks however I'm not collector that collects everything I only collect the minority of good titles including for sega. Personally I don't like trash on my shelves, that you collect filler titles is just your way nothing against it

I personally don't give two shits if a game is "realistic"  or not.  It has no bearing on my enjoyment of the game.  But the Wii was trash, picked up by casuals and grandma's to play bowling.  The library is overwhelmingly made up of shovelware and quite frankly, the "best" games on the system like Mario Galaxy and Zelda sucked...IMO.  The world moved on beyond Nintendo back in the mid 90's.  I'd take Destiny, LittleBigPlanet, Doom, Gran Turismo or any number of games on PlayStation or Xbox over Nintendo.

If not for PlayStation, we wouldn't have great games like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill or Tomb Raider.  I've had more fun playing the Uncharted games and the Last of Us than I have ever had on a Nintendo system since the SNES.

That's your opinion, Furthermore Realistic or not Games like uncharted etc are not my cup of tea. I'm only mentioning the term realistic since 80% of the enitre library consists of realistic games.

What about the wii?

Same period, same gen yet way more games that are actually memorable and definitely raising in price big time.

PS3 And xbox 360 overall just inferior games of ps4 etc. Way less memorable unique games. Titles like the last of us or GTA will never be memorable on those inferior systems and games like journey or certain rpg's are already rising in value. Nothing will chance there aren't to many interesting titles out there anyway for these systems.

Your logic does not make any sense I highly doubt we will see a grow in prices of xbox 360 and ps3 except for the few unique titles and special CE. If it actually was the case than it should have been the same as wii wich it is not.

You are all over the place in your reply.  LOL.  But let's go through it.  The reason a few Wii games are rising in value is because they are Nintendo-made games which all rise in value as time passes.  This doesn't make them any more "memorable" than PS3 or 360 games.  This has been the case with Nintendo titles since the NES.

I would argue that at least on a technical level, pretty much all PS3 and 360 games are superior to Wii games.  Wii was a travesty of taking games and shoehorning crappy waggle-wand controls on them.  This had the effect of making great games play like shit. 

The value of particular games will grow for PS3 and 360 titles, the same as it has for PS1, PS2 and Xbox titles.  Don't think so?  Go try to find cheap copies of the Star Wars Xbox games.  I agree that Nintendo games hold a high value, but that doesn't mean that the library of games on PS3 and 360 are crap.  There is a reason why games like Last of Us and LittleBigPlanet have received accolades out the ass:  Because they are great games.  You can choose not to see it or ignore it, but the proof is in the pudding as they say.

I don't really like realistic games would rather watch a movie than play a game. realistic games are garbage to me. I don't care about value and if I did I would have CE of certain realistic games or certain (crappy rare games) wich are worth quite allot.

Furthermore games like the last of us or GTA and grand tourismo will always be replaced with superior versions of these kind of realistic games. Older versions are inferior and will never be played again. Why would you if there are better versions out there?

Crappy Games like little big planet are just not in the same ballpark lvl as mario or other nintendo franchise games. No offence but I don't like most of the sony mascots they are pretty bad in my opinion.

Nintendo games have inferior grapics but why would you need the same grapics if the games are not realistic. For realistic games excellent grapics are a must but for games like mario stafox etc It isn't a big deal less is needed to make things look smooth.

Sure new mario games come out but the older titles are different that it is worth it to actually play the older games. These days the older titles are even better than the newest titles and they are different. Every mario kart game is different, every smash bros game is different, every mario 3D or 2D game is different wich is the main reason why nintendo games hold their value the games are unique.

Also the controls on the wii worked perfectly fine. The button placement for games like mario galaxy were excellent. The only reason that many complain is because you sometimes have to move the controller while with a normal controller you don't

You can say what you want but in my opinion there are pretty much no real titles that stand out to me and that will not be replaced by a superior version and are actually worth to be played in the future when plenty of better versions come out.

I have to say though that the ps2 has some unique titles wich are awesome but ps3 library on the otherhand is pretty mediocre with the exception of very few titles, especially for me since I don't care about realistic games wich is the specialty of the ps3 and xbox 360.

I think 360 and PS3 are in the purgatory that every previous gen console gets stuck in. It isn't nostalgic yet and it isn't new and flashy. Not enough time has passed to make us miss It but In 10 years it will be nostalgic and collectible and we will love it again. But right now its all about PS4 and One. Which are pretty much 360 and PS3 with better graphics in all honesty. And it doesn't help that One and PS4 are rereleasing a lot of the gems from last gen on the next gen consoles.

No nostalgia goggles for me but excellent games before the crappy ps3 era 

I'd say street fighter alpha 2 is my favourite

I must say I'm impressed with the deals I have made from the past 2 weeks.

First I bought a huge game and console lot made a nice solid profit and allot of stuff for free.

this is the stuff I'll keep for free. most are with cables and controllers but as a gamer I do need some spare consoles and the cables wich I already have are not the things that break during usage.

I picked the best condition consoles

Master system 1
sega game gear
NES
SNES
N64
Megadrive 1

Pretty much all main consoles, don't have to worry spending money on nice condition spare consoles for most systems for a while Had to do it sometime I'll take my chances.

Also some lose game gear games.

And a sega game gear everdrive of stone age gamer working.
Apparently expensive but really handy to play all games ever released. I'll keep it, still though very odd how this ended up in that lot.


And some excellent condition gameboy games all cib

The jetsons unfortunatly german but the series is nostalgia for me + that the scandinavian english version is extremely rare and only available in that region. Since a german copy is already rare and expensive I fear that an english Pal copy might cost 500 - 1000.

Ducktales Finally a complete set
super mario land 1
super mario land 2
wario land classics

Super dodge ball was from a former deal with konami krazy racers wich I find to be an excellent game. For free.



Some lose and smaller but still definitely some awesome deals.

A non impressive ps2 deal

2games for free

onimusha warlords cib
dunasty warriors 2 cib

A wii game wich costed me 10 euro's shipping included from a real non retrogame reseller.

A boy and his blob mint shape pal ukv


A sega mega Cd 1 complete in box. The box has some spots but overall in very nice shape, I can't believe the seller used old prices and not listed so happy even has all metal plates. Missing the 2 games wich are the most easy to find and really common however i got it for free so I can't complain. 

Again a Neo geo pocket deal. this time however this time a pocket color console. Also for free the other games in the lot paid for everything and more. All european pal versions.

Neo geo pocket color stone blue CIB excellent shape

King of fighters R2 cib
Puzzle bobble cib

And lastly a mainly ps1 megadrive deal

Got these games for free definilty not to shabby titles wich I was after.

Kula world cib
X-men vs street fighter UKV Well pleased I enjoy collecting 2D fighting games way more than RPG's 
shadow madness
parasite eve II
pandemonium finally always get bad condition copies of this game,
oddworld exodus

Outrun for the megadrive a title wich I was after for a long time.



I must say an excellent 2 weeks with worthy adds to the collection for nothing while making some.

Classic Video Games / Re: Super Mario 64, Galaxy, Sunshine or 3D World?

Who cares about what opinion is the most correct or most incorrect, sworddude? All he's saying is that he thinks mario galaxy has a good mix between open world and linear levels, which he thought made it better than sunshine or 3d world.

This reaction  is just like the overrated thread where you got flustered because someone said  that they though melee was overrated.

That's not the most important point, the most annoying part is that he thinks that I don't get what he is saying else I would just let it be and ignore it.
