That’s deep, a great wake up call for the younger generation that won’t care for the slow reaction games that would bore them to death, although I still collect my original games not just for nostalgia but they play better than emulating games and selling them would help pay bills sometimes. My steamdeck and Nintendo Switch just gather dust so I’ll play my old games till I die and give them to my kids to sell

You got a point, I ask this question too. When I die it all means nothing the stuff goes back into the market . Basically enjoy the now

This video is garbage. It's clear I was blinded by the honeymoon phase myself. When revisited it, this game isn't all that. It's actually WORSE than BOTW. When I made this video, I put down BOTW after 50 or so hours because I had beat the game and left it. So because I didn't explore it's world too much, I didn't get that familiarity with some of the map when I played TOTK and it seemed more new to me. With that being said, I don't like either.

This is just a long rant to get an emulator. Problem solved.

Keep a catalogue of your collection and let your loved ones know of its value. No one is going to throw it out if it’s worth money

Please do a part 2 of this.

I collect so if I get an urge to play something I don't want to bid, drive to a store I just want to pull it off the shelf and go. Same with movies there less then going to a theater by Alot

I appreciate this video. I've been curating a retro game collection with my little dudes for a while now. In my situation, the game collection wouldn't exist without the joy it brings them. They don't use money but turn in their game with me once they complete it (and we get through the credits) for a "point." I think the most expensive one in the collection is Chip & Dale 2 on the NES. But for me specifically, it's leaving a type of inheritance for them when they are older that we found joy in together. I figure they may want to sell them (or a good portion of them) when they are older (and maybe they're worth more at the rate it's going, who knows 🤷‍♂) and then perhaps they will play emulation when they wish to "go back." But that will ultimately be their choice, and for me, the joy of creating the collection wasn't that it's coming with me...but rather the blast that we had along the way building it, if that makes sense. Thanks for the thought provoking video.

Finding this ost brought more joy to my heart than Hisoka seeing Gon for the first time

Dude your mom is a real **** for doing that to you!

See the more games i buy the more consoles i get the more i have people over playing been doing game nights with brothers buddies and now our kids too physical media is all about bringing people together digital is all about driving is apart.

I quit game collecting too. Everdrives, ODEs and modded hard drives is what i do now. As long as im on real hardware on a CRT, im good. Im done with these prices and trying to fit mountains of games in my tiny ass game room. No thanks. Plus tons of shit ill never play taking up space. I sold off most of my game collection and i dont miss any of it honestly. I can play any of that stuff on my xStation, Satiator, GDEMU, everdrive or hard drive.

I built a collection over the years with 20-50 games per system. Some of the games were nostalgia and others were not. Some were mine from childhood some others not. My most expensive game is worth 800 the least is 1. Sometimes I play a game on my ps1 sometimes I play the same game emulated. At this point I hardly buy retro games to grow the collection. Thats because I am already happy with what I have, like I can use the games I love in their original systems with my CRT TV. Everytime I do it its magical. That makes me happy. I started playing Shenmue which I played back in 2000, now it feels incredible to hold the Dreamcast controller, use the VMU to save progress, hear the game through the analogic TV. It is a experience only having it can give me. Thats my main reason to have a collection and not give it away.😊

Funny when I get bored with new games I always go back to my original games to replay. I don’t ever get tired of those XD

Zelda N64 is really a corner stone of video gaming. The OST... Magical. My parents also sold my N64 with a LOT of games for 60$... I should have said no. But I didn't.... My bad. Anyway... You did the right thing > Get your goal(s) straight!

the beat option buy copy tradition is good for now

Not only that, while you're alive it can start to own you. I had a massive SNES, NES, and Genesis collection, along with with a good amount of dreamcast games, and it's hard to describe the feelings i had. I never got good at any one game as i could play any game I wanted, and when i wasn't playing games i felt like i was somewhat obligated to spend my free time with them. When i sold the collection, i felt as if i could fly. I was so happy. Now i have about a dozen curated games that i occasionally play via emulator and am pretty good at, and months go by when I don't play anything.

Good luck selling it.u won't get what u want.u gotflippers and reseller out there.i sell alot of far cry.i didn’t get i wanted.

or if you do rant videos like this only console war stuff you a fake gamer as well i hate investors ruining game collection . for me i emulate some ps1 ps2 ps3 psp ps vita 3ds ds game boy and advance and wii and wii u and gamecube and switch i would emulate them . but i also collect them regardless

Excellent video. Lots of good points. I agree about not wasting too much time or money on physical media. It personally would stress me out to have too many. I’d stop at a small curated collection of physical media that I actually will play or watch.

I read a RUclips comment on another video about physical media. A collector passed away and his kids didn’t even bother to sell or give the collection away, instead they just threw it all into the trash. 😕 The man had a huge movie and tv shows collection on Blu-ray/DVD, VHS, etc.

The problem is when people collect games and don't play it, just for dust holders

I am 14 and this is deep

200th comment. Too busy to say any more 😂

Oh to follow up with your question i have as stated 1005 games that has been collected since 2017. Yes MANY MANY MANY are sitting on a shelf. Its my retirement one day i will FINALLY get thru the backlog and ONE DAY i will get to play the last of us. I collect ps1 longboxes just for the sake of it because its a relic when games also had personality. Ideally later down the road i can sell them if i need money (profit or not its a cash alternative). Theoretically i have untold amounts of entertainment. Side note i recently played kane and Lynch for PS3 i didnt get very far it was horrible. Maybe i will try again OR just accept the fact that some games are just going to be stinkers for me

I started collecting back in 2017 amd since that time i have 1005 games across platforms and ya know im ACTUALLY happy with it. Sure theres games i don't have and i want but i dont need them im happy where i am. And worse case scenario i can sell them for cheap. But until that ever happens i have things i can play and i don't have to spend another dollar

I think the future of DIY 3D printing will address a lot of these issues with retro gaming.

I do a bit of both. Emulation is a great way to experience retro games; especially expensive ones, it can even add more to the game with modifications to the textures. But there’s something about hooking up a N64 to a CRT, inserting the cartridge and playing the game in its original form. Sure a large part of it for me is nostalgia, but there’s more than just that. Preservation of the physical hardware is part of it; it’s not quite about the game itself but the physical entity that it represents; a manual, a case; even if it sits in the shelf 99% of the time. You can say the exact same thing about books or movies. Why would people have a library of books in their house? The answer is so that they can read them again as and when they want to; sure they could find the contents of the book through Google; but there’s something about physically turning a page that most book readers prefer. It’s all down to the physical aspect of an item. Some prefer emulating a book on a kindle, others prefer turning a page. Personally for me; I don’t buy with the intention of selling. I keep my games; maybe it’s PTSD from selling practically my entire collection back in 2005 to buy an Xbox 360 which red ringed 3 years later. I sold my childhood for 3 years of gaming and a paperweight. Now I buy games I used to own; or had a memory of playing round my friends, or something I always wanted when I was younger to experience what it could have been like. However in years to come; when I’m old and loosing the control of my bowls, my games will act as a form of investment. Once my pension is spent at least I could sell up to syphon a few more months in some form of care. A lot of people spend their money on alcohol or drugs or just consumables in general that will disappear in less that 30 mins. Go out; spend £300 in one night, come back home throwing up and spend the next week on the come down feeling miserable. Not me though; I come back in with £60 spent and a weeks worth of nostalgic entertainment. The reselling of retro games has certainly dampened the experience of collecting all the games I used to own again. It’s not something I’d want to further contribute to. I personally preferred the days when you could dip your hand in a 3 for £10 bargain bin and pull out some rad retro games. But those times don’t exist anymore. I’ll never go hunting for bargains so I could list them on eBay at 5x the price I got it for. At the same time if the price of something I own goes up I’m pretty glad because of the investing for the future side of things. I could put thousands into a corporation and watch arrows fluctuate; or I could put that money into video games and do the same thing whilst experiencing a piece of history.

I needed this

Why do anything?

So I’m a zoomer born too late to play the nes, snes, n64 or GameCube in their primes, yet for some reason as a kid me and my brothers were obsessed with retro games and would pool our money to buy them off eBay. I think it’s something to do with the inherent value and differences in the games back then, and there’s something undeniably magical and historic playing games on the original hardware as intended

The N64 was the only console that was retro when it was released.

Love how you mentioned that even though you were a kid in '08 you were playing games much before your time or your friends and you didn't care about graphics. I was born in 1992 and grew up with a super nintendo (which in my opinion the best-looking 2D console). But now I'm a small game collector and I own a 64, 2 Ataris, and a super nintendo and I was able to get back most of the games I remember having for my super nintendo along with a lot of new ones. But the point is my friends now are either younger than me, or back then they never played games so when I'm telling them about this new old game I got from 30 or 40 years ago and they have no clue what I'm talking about I can show them video footage of me playing it and they either usually like it or start laughing in a playful way and call me old

Late comment but relevant now more than ever. The modern state of video games, and all media in general, is that everything is going digital only, and the publishers constantly cave into complaints from the loud, vocal minority to censor and/or retroactively remove media they find offensive. The future value of physical media cannot be understated. Online isn't forever, period.

Long before the pandemic when I was in my rebellious youth I seen a loose Super Mario World for $50 at a local antique shop, It angered me that someone would sell such a common game for so much so I stole it, I still have the cartridge til this day granted I would never do something like this now days, but I still don't feel like I was in the wrong for how the retro gaming market was beginning to see a wave of greedy scalpers and price flippers, I took good care of that copy and replaced the battery etc so it's in good hands.

People also buy very expensive food when they could just eat what is necessary to stay alive. The food cannot be resold once consumed and cannot be taken with you when you die. And yet billions of dollars is spent on luxury food. People buy luxury cars. People buy expensive art. People buy stocks. People buy all sorts of things that are unnecessary for basic survival. If you feel a need to buy something that makes you unhappy then definitely stop. There really is no point then.

We gettin into Tartarus with this one!!!🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

My video collection doubles as a collection of memories. When i look at a game on my shelf, i remember when and where i was when i played it. Owning the gane isnt just an item with value its a memory from my past. Without that cartridge to remind me, the memory can be forgotten. Its a reminder to jog my memory of my wonderful nostalgic past with my friends.

You better research how many houses families have left in ruin and let get taken by the banks.. You have a terrible take on life dude. Family fueds over estates and possessions causes all sorts of problems. You are looking at things through 1 narrow lense.

So many games I wish I knew at the time how precious and valuable they’d be in the future. That I would just sell or trash.

I love Reload themes ❤
