So i've noticed lately that the NEO GEO Pocket and all its games are steadily increasing in price week by week online for the first time in years.

A niche retro handheld where games were often 10-30 are now seeing games 30-100 and consoles often going at 50 going as high as 200.

Did some mainstream youtuber or streamer start shilling it and make it a tween fad that drains the market like Kanye did with the Turbo Grafix and PC Engine?

I liked the Sonic game on it.

it has some genuinely great shit that before last month was super cheap. Dark Arms: Beast Buster is a game all neo geofags on /v/ shill all the time. was regularly ten bucks, now going as high as 80.

Some soytuber probably talked about how much xir loved the neogeo back when it came out but only recently brought it out in a video because they forgot about it….not because they just bought one.. why would you think that?

ill just emulate itll be fine. theres not really a good arguement against emulation. orginal hardware is nicer and prefrable, but its easy and simple to emulate even a freaking netbook can emulate the vast majority of games up till the n64 and ps1.

It's literally because there was about 3 threads here in the past year discussing it and a few games for it. If nobody else had talked about it you would be able to beat these out of scalper hands and get games for the cost of pennies. Then you could destroy them right in front of the greedy scalpers in order to own them.

>>14741415

Oh please, 8chan /v/ doesn't give a fuck about that. Halfchan /vr/ has more of a presence on game prices than us. It's probably a combination of the neo geo games doing well on switch, the mini, consolized MVS being a thing now, & youtube e-celebs. There's also a way to backlight mod the black & white units now, so there's probably a small bump there too.

It's just collector mentality. They already have everything else. So they're just slowly moving further and further down the list of more and more obscure shit to put on their shelves and never look at. I'm sure those shitty ass tiger electronic games that were everywhere in the late 80s and 90s are gonna start becoming a thing soon, if they're not already a thing. I don't know how much lower you can even go after that. Are people gonna start collecting old brick and flip cell phones for the built in games or some shit?

Everdrive or SD2SNES, depending on which games you don't want to emulate. Alas, the NGPC has a shitass flash cart. Never get tricked into paying a king's ransom for GAMES. Hardware is a whole other pain in the ass, though.

With retro consoles and games it's usually a synthetic/inflated price and when one known collector sells it expensive the rest follows usually.

btw it is not something new to happen, I bought Killer7 recently and had to pay £50.98 and I was only interested in playing the game. Also the value of a game usually goes down when there is a re-release that does not fuck around to much kinda like with chrono trigger on the ds when it came out the value of the snes game sunk in price.

Also a brand new Playstation 2 was like 400 pounds. There are some jrpgs lthat has a ridicules price point like first release of nocturne, second and third release of the Japanese version of the game.

The European release also has a ridicules pricepoint.

I hope this helps you, some of it is artificial other times it's genuine.
