>blaming Nintendo for used prices of 18-year old games

>>16165751

I just explained why they're responsible for this shit.

PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox, 360, Xbone, PSP and Vita games are all affordably priced used. Nintendo is the ONLY company whose games remain ludicrously priced years down the line and you don't think it's because THEY want it that way?

>>16165762

What do they have to gain from high re-sell values? They don’t see any of that money once it leaves the store the first time.

Does Gamecube even have any expensive games, $30 is fucking nothing.

>Not just using Dolphin

>Not having HDDs just the Gamecubes and Wiis whole collection

Kiketendo can go fuck itself

>>16165772

I already explained. Kids have limited money, Nintendo want devoted fans and no competition. They don't want little Timmy spending money on Mario AND CoD, they want him to be Mario's cum rag. The used games bullshit is a side effect of this practice, it tricks people into thinking "well I guess Wind Waker really IS worth $30" despite being as common as say FFX which would run you $4 in a used game shop today.

Nintendo games keep their high resale value because N shit rarely goes on sale or deep discount so the value never depreciates. They made a big point to talk about it a long time ago about why they never have deep sales like the competitors. They don't want it to "devalue" the brand. It's the same shit EA said when defending not having 90% sales like Steam on the Origin store. Except it's ok when Nintendo does it. Also Nintendo simply doesn't sell as well as other shovelware and they never have. The Gamecube wasn't a flop but it was the biggest loser of its generation. There simply isn't as many used copies of Luigi's Mansion on the market as there are used copies of Jak & Daxter or whatever the fuck.

>>16165776

>$30 is fucking nothing.

That's just the average, buy 10 decent Gamecube games today and you're looking at $400+.

Meanwhile, 10 classic PS2 games would run you $150~.

While I can definitely see your point of view, I fail to give a shit because Dolphin is so good.

>>16165804

>There simply isn't as many used copies of Luigi's Mansion on the market as there are used copies of Jak & Daxter

Except they both sold 3.5 million worldwide.

And (anecdotal) every time I go into a game store I see all the popular Gamecube games just as often as I see the popular PS2 ones. The console might have flopped but the games fucking moved, they're not rare.

>>16165799

>blaming nintendo because autists hold their games in high regard and overvalue them

can you even prove they blacklist?

>>16165817

Nintendo isn't a niche studio. They appeal to everyone. There is no logical reason why or how the "Nintendo community" would inflate all of their game prices.

>>16165817

It's well known that Nintendo does this and has done so since the NES days. There's a documentary on youtube if you want to know more.

>blaming nintendo because autists hold their games in high regard and overvalue them

Metal Gear Solid 3 runs you $5, Shadow of the Colossus $15, Ico $15, Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner $15. These are cult classics on the level of classic Gamecube games that inexplicably cost anywhere from $30 to $150. It's not autists, it's Nintendo's practices having the side effect of fucking over the second hand market. You see:

>Person A buys a Nintendo game new for $60

>Person B doesn't wanna spend that much, but it'll take years for the game to drop to even $40 used

>Why?

>Because if Nintendo doesn't allow discounts, then used game stores don't have any incentive to discount their games further

>Nintendo knows this and uses it to their advantage

>They either get a massive hit like the DS or Wii and make bank or they put out a flop but still "win" by keeping their brand image in high regard by refusing to drop prices

>Which means next time a console is out, people are more likely to just pay full whack for the games knowing: they'll never drop in price significantly anyway

It's all a carefully planned scheme to bleed you dry and make you a drone.

Might be because their games are usually good? There are cases of crap games being overpriced by other reasons like rarity, condition and other factors but Nintendo games are usually the best in that generation or system in your talking between 80s to early 2000s. Fans and Rare Collectors might overinflate the price but I don't think Nintendo has any direct involvement with that. Are you saying they bundled Earthbound for the SNES classic because the would turn those who can't afford the Earthbound original SNES cartridges to them? With roms existing, the only ones affected by the second-hand market are rare collectors and diehard fans that want the physical copy.

Just pirate the fucking games.

>>16165859

Earthbound was a bargain bin game I know it was originally expensive on release that sold like shit until Smash Bros. and hipsters got to it

>>16165869

There are plenty of good games throughout history that don't cost nearly as much. Even Bethesda only charges $10 for classic Doom and Quake, still an outrageous price but nowhere near typical Nintendo games.

>>16165876

Interesting but exceptions don't disprove the rule

>>16165873

Pirating sucks.

I want to play on original hardware, I want the original controller, I want the fucking game that was sold to the public. Piracy is a last resort, not a first for me. It's the worst way to play a game.

Did you just find out about Nintendo tax recently? Not saying you aren't wrong, scalpers are a legitimate cancer in regards to buying used games.

>>16165740

OP you are a god dang super retard.

I have never felt a need to sell my Nintendo games. They hold a much higher replay value than most other shit put out by other companies. I never felt the need to replay the Battlefield 3 campaign, but I always go back to A Link to the Past again and again. It's simply a matter of quality. A good game will rarely hit the second hand market, but a disposable one will. Also I rarely see many copies of used Nintendo games at my local game stores. Shit I had a local store that carried retro cakes and only half a shelf was gamecue games and most of it was shovelware. People hold onto their copies like ounces of like during an economic crisis. That is the only reason used copies are so expensive. Show me these copies of winfwaker on the shelf as numerous as copies of final fantasy x

>>16168027

>They hold a much higher replay value than most other shit put out by other companies

Abject lies and delusion

>Show me these copies of winfwaker on the shelf as numerous as copies of final fantasy x

There's always at least 1 copy in any game shop I go to, but since Nintendo fucked the pricing I'm betting there's a lot up on ebay and amazon. "More money for the consumer right?" Wrong. It perpetuates a cycle of people who REALLY like these games getting fucked in the ass because almost two decades later they're barely 50% cheaper.

Nintendo is not special, they're games aren't worth as much as they sell for used, they're just employing jewish marketing strategies to trick you into thinking this. Here you are on an anonymous image board defending Nintendo's honour, just like they wanted.

Nintendo doesnt make any money from used game sales. Some games are more rare than others.

My last game pickups was $100 for Enemy Zero on the Saturn (big Kenji Eno fan RIP) and $80 for Blood Will Tell on PS2 by the way. You poor shitter.

>>16168094

>Nintendo doesnt make any money from used game sales.

But they benefit from having the absurd prices of their used games.

Another reason they refuse to discount old games is because that leads to an expectation from people that it'll happen, they don't want Timmy to think "If I just wait 6 months I can get this game for 50% cheaper". They want Timmy to go out and buy a new copy right fucking now because little Timmy knows the prices will NEVER drop any time soon.

I'm happy to pay big money for ACTUALLY rare games, Nintendo games aren't rare. It's artificial scarcity and artificial value.

>>16165740

I don't think the price Nintendo charges has anything to do with it. What you're talking about is the phenomenon of the 'Nintendo tax', where autistic Nintendrones pay out the ass for anything Nintendo with their monthly autism checks, which is why even common games on the SNES are now stupidly expensive. Couple that with the Gamecube being one of the consoles with the most deluded fanboys and you have an unforgiving marketplace.

I wouldn't want to collect for the Gamecube anyway, i've heard bad things about the manufacturing quality of their discs, which gives them a shorter lifespan than average.

>>16165796

This. Emulation is suitable for your needs. You will regret wasting money on something you can get for free. Buy an ice cream maker instead.

>>16165740

Are you trying to imply that Nintendo somehow has every retailers' - from Amazon, to Walmart, to Gamestop, to the independent preowned game store a town over (that doesn't even get new copies of games) - balls in a vicegrip that they can't sell Gamecube games for less than however much or they can't sell Nintendo games at all? Because I find a blacklist highly doubtful. As far physical games go, as a publisher Nintendo should be getting paid when a retailer makes an order for however many copies. After that point it's on the store to actually move any that weren't preorders out at full price as long as they can, but once it's no longer feasible, they'll eat some loss and mark it down to free up shelf space. Fuck, Gamestop actively wants games to move into preowned territory fast, because even if the total price is reduced, they don't have to break the profit down further. And at least where I am, independent game stores and multimedia places have a really tiny focus, if any at all, on new releases. Any sealed copies that they stock they either had to buy from another outlet post release, because bulk distribution tells small fry to go fuck themselves (Nintendo's distribution included; happened with one out here with Skyward Sword's CE), or had a customer trade or sell it to them when it turns out they didn't actually care to play the game after all. Point being, publishers get paid in selling to retailers rather than when retails sell to consumers, and preowned focused vendors (aside from Gamestop) would have no need to try to appease Nintendo when they don't get shipped new copies anyhow.

As to shortprinting, yeah, Nintendo's got cases of it. Baffling ones even, like the Wii. But they make no further money on aftermarket copies of games or systems. Can they still use a perception of low availability and high quality for their own gain? Sure. Namely digital versions (VC rereleases in the case of older games), porting games forward, and reprints. However, last I checked they still don't have a Gamecube VC, and they sure as fuck aren't doing reprints of minidiscs at this point. While they have done their share of porting forward though, it's hardly been every game, and even after doing so, I really haven't noticed much difference in prices on the originals despite people trading up. And when it comes to entries of their most popular series - Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash - they sure as fuck have more reason to make sure immediate interest is sated that try to fuck the game over. Of the entries of the above on the Gamecube, most saw sales at least high enough for a Player's Choice print: Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Melee, Windwaker, Four Swords Adventures, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Pokemon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness, Paper Mario: TTYD, Mario Kart Double Dash, etc (Twilight Princess being the exception, but being an early Wii multiplat, the waggle version sold much better and got it's own Nintendo Selects reprint). And aside from the Metroids, which are about $15-18 each where I live, all of those currently sit at $35+ despite being common as fuck.

I'm much more inclined to see the case of the Gamecube library as being something aftermarket interest created on its own: Nintendo is already popular as fuck with hipsters, and being that the system is 18 years old at present, there's probably a lot of young adults that are now nostalgiafagging over it, who now have an influx of money they didn't when they were younger to eagerly drop on the prices being asked, and too little patience to wait for a better deal. Scalpers are all too happy to provide supply to aforementioned demand, and continue to try to push prices ever higher, and the faggot e-celebs do the advertising for them with their HIDDEN GERMS shilling causing individual games to reach untold heights. The Gamecube has a similar facet as the SNES: Both could be considered refinements to the 2D and 3D of the NES and N64 prior, and thus easier for people to get into or go back to.

>>16165740

>>16168478

Lastly, the Gamecube has indeed suffered from an artificial scarcity, but probably not one Nintendo themselves caused if you ask me: Fucking Gamestop choked out and/or cannibalized lots of other brick and mortar competitors during the years leading up to 2011. When they finally stopped stocking for the system as a whole, that created a scenario where there are suddenly a lot less places willing to even take those games in, and the surviving ones are all too happy to jack up the prices in response. It is worth mentioning that of the Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox, the Gamecube was hit the hardest and quickest with spiking when Gamestop stopped stocking it, while the PS2 and especially the Xbox have been much slower once they do were dropped. Further, the fact that up until Gamestop stopped stocking for the Gamecube you could still find the games, preowned ones anyhow, rather cheaply is also part of why I doubt there was a blacklist, at least at that time. $15 for Windwaker or OOT, $30 for Path of Radiance or Gotcha Force being some prices I remember off the top of my head. And from what I recall those weren't exactly clearance sales either. Prices have gone up across the board since then, most likely for the reasons listed above.

This hasn't been to defend Nintendo. Just that I highly, highly doubt they themselves have had anything to do with the current prices short of Smash Bros and new releases in older series prompting general interest in their predecessors, nor were they planning on making them all digitally available, or porting the entire library (at least what part of it they themselves own) forward at the time the Gamecube was current, anymore than they would have in previous generations. Should Windwaker be $35+ at this point? Should Melee be $65+ when it had a 70% adopt rate? Fuck no, not when they're common as shit. I can't even recommend people get into picking up Gamecube stuff at this point, assuming they don't want to be further justifying the prices, unless they already have a good bit of it as is, and are willing to wait for pricing fuckups like I do. But because the average person buying at the going rate still considers those prices average (and some kids probably have never known them to be much lower), and because some faggots will buy stuff simply because of a particular company name on them, or even just for the "hipster cred" they'll get without even planning to play them, the scalpers keep getting their justification to further inflate the prices. I'd be almost certain "Nintendo Tax" stems from the aftermarket itself.

Now, if you're trying to say Nintendo is in part responsible for helping cultivate that sort of a nostalgiafag/hipster demand base over their decades, then yeah, I'd say that much is at least valid. This shouldn't be a world where a company, which exists to make money, gets treated by generations of fans as almost a childhood friend-tier, or a family member, and that they can do no wrong, and that anything they put out has an inherently high value. But here we are, and they've certainly got a huge drone base.

Those aren't "cheap", those are "average" for the time. Nintendo's price jewery is so fucked that this is what's considered "cheap".

>>16168511

You still haven't bothered to provide the apparent video documentary you mention about Nintendo having a blacklist, as >>16165983 already asked about.

>>16168521

$15 is still closer to what something that common should warrant. You can have an average price that is still considered cheap in terms of the total amount being asked. Like, I'd consider DMC3 SE on the PS2 priced at $6 around here to be both its average price and also still not being very much being asked. Though I suppose that the meaning of "cheap" varies from person to person, especially when a lot of people here are apt to consider anything over free not worth the time.

>>16165776

$30 is a actually a comparatively high amount when most similarly common must play titles on the PS2 and Xbox can be a third or less than that at present, even complete and in good condition. But as to specifically above “standard” (let’s say $35 based off local prices for stuff like Mario and Zelda on the Gamecube where I am, otherwise this is going to be a lot bigger), and using prices of complete, good condition copies around here:

>Baten Kaitos Origins ($50+)

>Chibi Robo ($50+)

>Cubivore ($175+)

>Eternal Darkness ($40+)

>Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance ($120+)

>Go Go Hypergrind! ($100+)

>Gotcha Force ($200+)

>Lost Kingdoms II ($40+)

>Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II ($50+)

>Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II Plus ($150+; yes that is three times the standard edition's price)

>Pikmin 2 ($40+)

>Pokemon Box: Ruby and Sapphire ($275+; this one isn’t even a game, but additional storage and TV play of RS)

>Resident Evil 3 ($40+)

>Resident Evil: Code Veronica ($45+)

>Skies of Arcadia Legends ($65+)

>Super Smash Bros Melee ($65+)

Combine that with how many common games are $35+ just because they've got Mario, Luigi, Link, or some sort of Pokemon on it (aside from Channel), and it adds up fast. PS2 and Xbox have bigger libraries, so maybe their cost is more spread out, depending on how invested one want to get, but you could turn $35 being asked on Windwaker into a lot more PS2 and Xbox games worth a shit in quality if one was just starting out with either.

>>16165893

I like actual copies myself, but no. I am perfectly happy to pirate what is sadly too expensive to warrant dropping the actual money on anymore if it means I can play it without breaking my wallet. And in quite a few cases, you can still play pirated games on original hardware, with the original controllers, and without emulation. It’s called modding a system to run games from either burned discs or loaded through the system off digital storage, and flashcarts. Fuck, you can even just use such to effectively demo games if you so wish, and at least see if it feels enjoyable enough to actually drop whatever price the hipster/scalper average is.

>>16166423

Gamecube is possible to my knowledge, but a Wii is easier, cheaper, and has better options and utility (including vastly cheaper Component cables compared to the Gamecube’s own being $250 where I am). Just get another backwards compatible Wii if you care about physical minidisc compatibility, get an SD card and a means for your computer to read it, and run the letterbomb process. From there you can install Nintendont as a Gamecube loader app, but you’ll likely need a compatible external storage to store game of the size sixth gen tended towards on to load from.

>Controller

Good luck getting one actually cheap. One of the local stores here remarked on such to me recently; Smash adapters for modern systems haven’t helped the prices and demand for original Gamecube controllers, and of course there’s the absolute autism in the Melee community about needing a particular kind of originally controller that’s bugged or something to maintain a proper competitive edge. Place can’t get a lot of buyers interested in the third party ones they stock, and they actually do their best to only stock quality built ones.

>>16167379

Because I have standards for preowned copies and if a copy isn’t up to them in price or quality, I don't buy it? And because in a lot of cases, once past it's generation, unopened copies get increasingly, excruciatingly expensive, and “HD” rereleases often have downsides compared to the originals? I still give the actual game cases a thorough wiping down though.

>>16168006

The fuck is a JB Hifi and why would they ask $90 for Smash at launch (I don’t have a Switch, but I’d assume it would still be $50-60 standard for new games)? Never heard of it, which leads me to think it's not a burgerland chain.

>>16168094

>$80 for Blood Will Tell on PS2 by the way.

I got one for $11 last spring. It's by no means worth anywhere near what it's been averaging the last few years, and I'd consider $80 way too fucking much, even if that's about half the price it's been at. Absurd that a licensed game manages to hit $150+.

>>16168578

>$30 is a actually a comparatively high amount when most similarly common must play titles on the PS2 and Xbox can be a third or less than that at present

That's a Wii U game, you're off by 2 generations and Wii U is a console people still use. But compare it to We Love Katamari (PS2) for $24 or Katamari Forever (PS3) at $25.

>used copies are expensive

GameCube sold 21M units, PS2 sold 150M units. There are fewer copies of GC games in circulation, of course they will be more expensive. You're also going up against Nintendo collectors who need shelves full of old games as a backdrop for the unhinged jaw selfies.

>>16168884

>But compare it to We Love Katamari (PS2) for $24 or Katamari Forever (PS3) at $25.

Games that are far rarer and more desired? Retard.

>GameCube sold 21M units, PS2 sold 150M units. There are fewer copies of GC games in circulation,

By a small margin. The PS2 had a way bigger library so you get a lot of shovelware on the shelves. If you break it down you're looking at good gamecube game copies being just as numerous as the popular PS2 games. They're not rare by any measure.

For every copy of San Andreas you see in a store, there'll be a copy of Wind Waker. For every MGS3 there's a Mario Sunshine. Gamecube games are not rare, all the good Gamecube games sold similarly to the PS2's best.

>>16169086

>Muh ancestry!

Typical Amerimutt, you're not Swiss

>>16169101

Because whenever anyone used anything but $'s to describe a price Amerimutts lose their tiny minds and start crying that they don't know how money works outside the US

>>16169112

Okay. I'm not here to convince you or myself. I have no doubt about what I am. Besides, the real travesty is this shitty thread you decided to post. Being a 4cummer doesn't really do you any favors.

>>16169119

> I have no doubt about what I am.

A mutt

>>16169126

If that's what you want to think, then more power to you.

>>16168577

but mammy i hate nitnendo!!!

>>16169113

Great way to end you thread then.

>>16169126

you're getting stale, you should switch it up to steamed ham posting

>>16166175

Says the projecting faggot

705ce4 is fine. He saw an exaggeration that didn't make sense and pointed it out. He didn't bother explaining why the other guy was making a strawman because it's obvious he was.

I don't like this thing in imageboards where whenever there is an argument, both parties are equally blamed for something. Sometimes it's obvious one anon is a gigantic retard.

>>16168932

Because you're an idiot that posts hyperbole and anecdotal evidence as truth.

>getting this upset about capitalism

jesus fucking christ dude just go to scandinavia or korea or some other shithole if you can't handle it

>>16172385

>I don't like this thing in imageboards where whenever there is an argument, both parties are equally blamed for something.

I don't like when autists killjoys run around screaming STRAWMAN STRAWMAN NO TRUE SCOTSMAN STRAWMAN AD HOMINEM!

No one cares, either rolls around in the dirt with the rest of us or fuck off.

>>16172495

Whatever retard, Nintendo are the biggest, oldest kikes in video games and if you wanna be ignorant about it then more fool you

>>16172570

It's not capatilism though, it's spiting the consumer for not buying your games new at full price.

>>16172700

>autists killjoys

That's admission that you were spewing bullshit.

You can't have it both ways. Either commit to spewing bullshit and own it or try to have a serious discussion. If you intend on having it both ways, it's only rational someone will point it out. It's irrational to get upset about it.

>>16172756

People can do both.

That's part of the fun of imageboards, serious discussion can flip flop into mudslinging and back again a dozen times in one thread. This isn't a place for super serial adult conversations, people here are retards so either accept it or go be autistic somewhere tryhard like Neogaf.

>>16172779

>People can do both.

And people can point out they're being retarded.

I don't see the issue here.

>>16172727

which they have every right to do, assuming that your accusations are correct. they made a GOOD and DESIRABLE game and can consequentially ask whatever they want for it, under whatever conditions THEY want. you are their BITCH because you want what they are selling.

>>16172792

The issue is when someone says STRAWMAN STRAWMAN that person is a fucking tool. You're just killing any fun in the conversation instead of adapting. I don't care if I make a strawman statement, either get down on my level, take the high ground or leave. Being a little discussion nazi just makes you look like a little faggot.

>>16172806

> you are their BITCH because you want what they are selling.

Nope, because I refuse to pay for it.

>>16172839

then what the fuck is your problem? do you want to pay them or something? just fucking mail the developers a check for the amount you think they deserve.

your rage is impotent. if you desire what someone else has, they are the ones that set the value of that item since they are literally the fucking owner.

>>16172825

Look at the discussion and the point you're making now

You got called out for bullshit, got mad about it, and are saying everyone should spew bullshit just because you are. Meanwhile, I'm saying both styles of posting are valid, it's just sensible to think someone will point out your obvious glaring bullshit when it's posted.

Pretend you're not trying to "win" the argument for a second and think about it honestly. Who do you think is more cancerous? Which one is trying to police the way posts should be, much like Neogaf, and which one is being more lax with what's being posted?

>>16172903

>if you desire what someone else has, they are the ones that set the value of that item since they are literally the fucking owner.

And I'm free to call them kikes for being extra greedy than their competitors

>>16172917

I'm not mad people are disagreeing, I'm rolling my eyes. Yeah, I put my point across poorly but it doesn't make me wrong. I honestly won't even care tomorrow, I'll move on to something new and not remember this thread until 6 months down the line.

>>16172984

Glad this got sorted out.

>>16172825

Behold, the level of discourse the faggot OP wants to have.

>>16173071

Hopefully he can learn to adapt in the future

>>16172984

>I'm rolling my eyes

Can you roll them back far enough to go blind for us, please?

>>16173132

>>16173071

If you want serious intellectual discussion, go to a university. This isn't the place for autistic, serious wall-o-text exchanges and it never was or will be. It's fucking video games, get a grip.

>>16173184

>I'm a fucking retard

Glad we cleared that up, thanks.

>>16173184

people on 8chan have "high standards" of discussion xD

>>16173184

You don't get to dictate that, much less when you're very openly promoting stupidity, expecting people to somehow get on board with this. If you want to post like a nigger, 4chan is more your speed.

>>16173220

>>16173202

>no fun allowed

fuck off. this place has been slow as molasses in january. I could use some fun. don't pretend you don't enjoy the feeling of superiority when you tell people that they aren't good enough for this board you arrogant fuck.

>>16173283

I don't think you were following 2fb821's posts.

He wasn't favoring fun, he was favoring people not calling him out on bullshit when posted. His posts weren't fun, they were fallacious dismissals that were just as boring to read as what I'm posting now.

If you want to support fun, this isn't the way to do it because I'm not against it either. 2fb821's meta complaints won't help this board becoming fun because that's not what he's going for.

>>16173220

Video games are entertainment, escapism, time killers.

I'm serious, get a grip. Caring about serious discussion on a video game board is absurd. You put way too much stock in cultivating this place into an intellectual mecca. I could post loli right now and the whole thread would devolve into porn posting and fapping, just accept that this board is populated entirely by mid to late 20's men who are still living and acting like they're 15.

>>16173371

You may went to fuck off back to reddit, then.

Or maybe Resetera, seeing that being an infant is more your style. Wouldn't want to hurt your feelings anymore now, would you?

>>16173429

I'm not going anywhere and you and I both know tryhards like you are the minority here.

>>16173283

I s'pose you're correct after going back and then reading >>16173371

>>16173371

please post porn so this thread can be justifiably deleted. better yet, post a live stream of your suicide

>>16173513

woops, meant for >>16173361

>>16173513

>>16173522

Yeah. He was just saying people were "anti-fun" because he didn't like getting shat on. He's the embodiment of Resetera's hugbox.

>>16173585

>He was just saying people were "anti-fun" because he didn't like getting shat on

No, I'm saying you have shit opinions and you take shit too seriously

>>16173513

>please post porn so this thread can be justifiably deleted.

Go right ahead. Checking dubs also does the trick

>>16165740

Maybe you should've picked the correct console back in the day and you'd be sitting on a mountain of games already like I am :^)

>>16173473

>No YOU are the minority

Thats not how it works you blithering fucking moron.

Also, N64 prices have bottomed out. Other than the big Nintendo games, everything's pretty reasonably priced. Tons of fun games for $10.

>>16165762

No, you fucking retard. Gamecube games are pricier because it sold like shit, and finding some of its games is a fucking nightmare.

>>16174332

>Gamecube games are pricier because it sold like shit, and finding some of its games is a fucking nightmare.

Wrong retard.

Wind Waker sold millions and is still $30 for no reason. Sure, there's a handful of rare games but most of its library is easy to find and plentiful but absurdly expensive.
