- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2022
- Welcome back to more game collection pickups! In this episode I do something I wasn't intending to do, spend a lot and gain very little. I'm trying to get my favorite game franchise complete in box, and I've recently made more progress on that. Also I got some Limited Run orders in finally, and I'm working on more Nintendo Switch. So between Nintendo DS, Switch, GameBoy Color, PS4, and PS5, check out these video games mang. It's dope, it's fresh, and it's soul crushingly expensive.

#Unboxing #eBay #PlayStation Игры
you should do a collection tour, showing all your physical games :D
Yessir and talk about them, we don’t mind how long it is
He’s said he would do that when he finishes figuring out where to display everything. Most of his collection is in boxes if I remember right
He has one on his Patreon.
He’s done one on patreon you can just give $2 and find it
@@roms3 crap
Every time I see the prices I get nervous. Don't know why it's not like I paid for it 😂
Me too I get some sort of anxiety lol
I mean I can afford to buy games if I want but I could never justify spending this much just to collect them, I'm kinda jealous when I see these videos haha
@@thehungryrabbit I also get jealous watching metaljesusrocks videos to the point I stopped watching him
If I were this guy, I guess it would be justified because he likely makes a ton of money doing video game related RUclips videos. Still, in this time of 6 dollar gas and triple priced groceries, I get anxiety watching this as well.
@@thehungryrabbit I did this about 18 years ago, it got a little out of control. So Im mostly digital now. But im glad to see other people collecting!
You’re the coolest PlayStation dude on the internet! You are well-spoken, you ever participate in sensationalization, drama and always a pleasure to watch! 🔥
Correct Sony should recognize this dude
RUclipsrs who participate in drama. Are f+-N LAMEEEE. They have no life now and want something exciting so they can post it as video and get more.views.
I agree Mystics is a cool dude I enjoy watching his uploads
This is sending my dopamine levels through the roof lmfao! Just something about unwrapping/unboxing that drives my brain nuts with excitement hahaha!!
I wonder how Ryan disposes of all that waste packaging
*I love nostalgia & unboxings too! :)*
I wanna just release myself
YES
nerd
That Pokémon Silver price caught me off guard, always getting reminded of why I don't collect retro games. I think the best thing I ever did in my collecting life was training myself to be able to watch collection or pickup videos (across all my hobbies) and not feeling the need to immediately go and buy some stuff myself.
I could really use that skill.
GameBoy game boxes take me back... I loved that thing when I was a kid.
It genuinley gives me anxiety the way you glimpse at the pokemon cartridges and just put them away 😭 man get those thoroughly checked and make sure there aint no fakes
The DS game values blew my mind. I don’t really keep up with the value of retro games but I had a stack of almost all of these games that I sold at a garage sale when I was in middle school for like $40 😭
Never realized that these old Pokémon games are so valuable. I always kept the boxes and have Blue, Red, and Leaf Green still in mint condition. Apparently worth a couple 100 as well. Not that I intend to sell...
Never sell them
Lol of course! Just a cardridge in medoum to bad shape is 50-90 bucks for green blue red yellow gold.. And gba itself 40-60 bucks too, the old 1989 Gameboy 60-80 bucks as well. Got so much miney from my old stuff eithout any packaging lol
Yeah it’s part of the Pokémon craze. Unfortunately that value will only go up. In a decade your copies probably be worth 300-400$ each. So keep them very safe and don’t let flood damage happen lol
@@Easelgames Yeah it actually fuckin stinks how bad it's getting. I have a couple old ones, like White 2 with its case, but damn, it is NOT worth as much as it sells for. Just pirate it, its not even being sold by the publishers anymore so who cares.
@@Legomacgamer That’s illegal and this comment will be flagged for further investigation.
Really loving this series, cool to hear about hidden gems of games across various systems. And the magazines are a great time capsule
I don't want to be rich. I just want to make enough money that I can spend a grand on some games to sit on a shelf. Haha. Love these videos.
Well I did.. and I'm broke this month thanks to that xD N3DS + some games...
but if you become rich u can buy almost anything without feeling any financial issues. (being rich doesnt mean being a millionaire btw)
shelf investments
You know you rich when you buy the most expensive listings on Ebay
I find videos such as these immensely satisfying.
this is genuinely my favourite thing to watch on RUclips, I'd watch them every day if I could
Just watching this video encouraged me to get protectors for my personal boxed copies of yellow and gold from my younger days. Been watching for a while and big respect! Keep up the great collector content
I really went overboard this month aswell. :D
Got myself Fallout 3 GOTY, Black Ops 1, Army of Two 40th Day and Dead Island GOTY for PS3
Sekiro, Sackboy, Resident Evil 3, DBZ Kakarot, Cyberpunk and Last of US 2 for PS4/PS5
And the true gems are a graded Assassins Creed 2, Devil May Cry 3 as first print and pretty much my new holy grail a Graded Klonoa for the PS1 as PAL Version.
These are always entertaining. Really cool seeing all the neat games you chose to add to your personal collection.
Congrats you have been selected among our shortlisted winners, Contact me ^^^^^^✅..
I always enjoy these videos Ryan! So cool to see what type of games you pick up for your collection. I agree with the Switch stuff. I feel like I do not have enough either.
This series of videos has made me go out and search for old games. Get back the classics I loved when I was younger. Slowly building back all those PS1, 2, and 3 games I had and then some.
Awwww yeah!! Love collection updates!
I never watch unboxing stuff but for whatever reason it’s just entertaining to watch you open this stuff.
Thank you Ryan. That was interesting to see what you were going to open next. Thanks for all you PlayStation knowledge. Wealth of knowledge.
Ryan you a Boss. From one collector to another. Respect!
When i seen that price for that pokemon gba game my frugal heart skipped a beat but as always i love these game unboxing videos
I like these unboxing videos, has renewed my interest in collecting retro games.
Fantastic games you got in this episode! Every time I watch these type of videos, I get that itch to buy some games myself 😅.
I watch these because to me they feel like a geek out zone where I go nuts about games I like and stuff.
Ryan Blessing us with another collection update video
Cant help but get excited over these videos
my favourite series on your channel!!
HOLY CRAP, that copy of EGM is bringing back memories!! They had that magazine at my school, I must've read that one cover-to-cover at least 20 times during library period. The article on BMX XXX taught me, uhhh, some things that I was too young to know 😂
Always love to see your collections 🤙🏿
Love your unboxing videos! I'm also getting in the same mindset of finishing my most wanted list for PS1, PS2 and PSP, but dropping 300+ on games like Haunting Ground or . hack Quarantine truly hurts my soul 😩
Congrats you have been selected among our shortlisted winners, Contact me ^^^^^^^^✅
This year I've been re-buying all the games I sold as a kid too. And I finally finished, with Super Mario Sunshine!
I freaking loved they made a direct sequel to black and white. it was great.
I've been collecting all the pokemon games since I was in high school. I have 2/3 of them at this point, but its been a really fun collection to accumulate over the years when I have some spending money
Box protectors are a must for jewel case games (PS1, Saturn, Dreamcast, etc.) IMO, especially if you are storing the games on a shelf, or in any manner where their cases are going to rub up against other games. You have to be meticulous with storage and handling of the cases to avoid any faint scratches. Those scratches will add up, eventually giving the clear plastic a kind of foggy look.
The DS version of Mario 64 is one of my favourites too! Nice pickups
Love the content and especially like your choice in knife that bugout is sweet
This is my favorite videos of yours to watch!!!
I love these unboxing videos! Are you planning to do a collection update?
Would love to see what your full collection looks like at this point. Full collection tour when??? Love the videos man :)
Love your videos dude.. all the way from Manchester UK
These are my favorite videos you post, seeing your cost tracker, I understand why you cannot do them all the time. I got Chrono Cross for Switch as well, I still have my PS1 copy, but playing in Switch seems very convenient.
So happy I collected all the dragon quest ds games for dirt cheap. Dunno how much it is now but I know it’s definitely higher than what I paid for.
Bought Pokémon White 2 for about £15 back in 2016. Bought Pokémon Black 2 a few months back for £65. Prices aren’t as crazy here in the UK but still steep. Pokémon games sell for a lot these days
Been waiting for a new game collecting video lets go
It was great to see you on the Spawn Wave podcast!
Man I love these videos!!
my favourite videos from you are these ones
These are your best videos keep them up!
I hope you enjoy White 2! Those entries are one of the best ones in the whole series imo.
you talking about buying more switch games is like seeing your pokemon boxes in the background has made me expand my pokemon collection and iv started buying the boxes to the gen 1,2, and 3 games and it is not cheap lol
Love the choice in knife. I edc the same 20 cv bugout. Nice to see the pick ups.
Wow, that thicc boi GamePro really brings back some memories. They were like that well into the early 2000's and especially right after E3 or before the holidays. I miss those days of getting a magazine that thick, previews, reviews, first looks, reading that whole thing front to back...
Just the video I needed. 😊
*patiently waits for the next episode*
I use those plastic cases for Pokemon ETBs, i think theyre about 18 bucks for a 5 pack on amazon. But definitely helps prevent my sealed ETBs from getting damaged or the shrink wrap ripped open
Another franchise very difficult to collect for are the old Castlevania games. I finally got Aria of sorrow in the mail today and I've been searching for it for something like 4 years because its so expensive (especially complete copies). The Castlevania DS trilogy is also really sought after. Now I have them all, both on DS and GBA! :)
Wonder what will happen once Konami does a collection reprint
A bit unrelated question, how are the castlevania games holding up? I've never played them and I'm genuinely considering getting the franchise.
I'm with you on spending a little extra for a cleaner copy of a particular CIB game. I always tried to keep my games in excellent condition, so I want my pickups to be of a similar quality level.
I’m not a Game Collector but Something I really want to get is a Dreamcast because it looks absolutely Beautiful. My second Playthrough of Sonic Adventure 2 made me Fall in love, I want to own it physically and a few other games to try out.
A Dreamcast mini would be sexy
Good video I liked this one! Keep it up my guy
just a heads up they have insane quality clones all over amazon and ebay,
alot of ppl getting ripped off rn
Guess I'm a minority of the lucky ones to get genuine games every time. Having said that, I purchased a defunct official ps2 silver controller on eBay and it was only missing a pin. Analog light worked but buttons didn't..was gutted.
and then there are those that swept everything on ebay for their personal sales ( ahem DKoldies )
Babe, wake up, new Mystic video is out.
Good lord I never realized until now how expensive both Pokemon Black and White 2 were expensive! I remember some fans back in that era really hated Unova and the Pokemon in that region!
So glad I held onto my copies and really hope Game Freak does the Unova region justice!
Love these kind of videos
we need a video on how to properly recycle consoles and physical game cases.
@@ryanwilliam95 Huh
yesss! my favourite video series!
Loved your D.magician girl t-shirt
I love this kind if video this is amazingly expensive.
dang that is cool! I stoll have my gameboy color and ganeshark i used to make a caterpie that had fly, surf, fireblast, and thunder lol. i dont even know if it works still i may try it
just checked and pokemon yellow still works!!!!
Never clicked faster. I love these videos
Kids and even most adults didn't seem to give a shit about game boxes back in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. It's only going to get more difficult if u want a CIB copy of an older game in decent shape. Grab them now if u want them!
Great pickups!
Love the collection! Your cat has the same name as me!
i love the dark magician girl shirt
I really hope you enjoy White 2-I think those two (with Black 2) are commonly overlooked in the series but definitely unique takes on a ‘third installment’ for a Pokemon generation
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
Limited Run f'ing up as usual with that Jak X.
Buying retro seems like a huge gamble, the price of what he paid for this update is the same I paid for my PS5, an additional controller and pretty much every single console exclusive, such as demons souls, Horizon, deathloop, ghostwire Tokyo and returnal among others. I do think that the retro market is a bit broken but yet again I have never owned any of those retro consoles, I grew up with a PS2 and a PSP and the PS2 was backwards compatible with the PS1 so I played a bunch of that too. But never have I feel the need go check something that came out earlier that the PS1, the N64 intrigues me and the last couple Sega consoles do too by ti have never gone beyond emulation.
Any ways if you enjoy having your wall covered with games rare and expensive this was a great Video!
Thankfully i caught up on collecting the older Pokemon games a few years ago before the retro market got out of control
My brother recently gave me his White, SS and Pearl so now I wish I had never sold my Pokémon games. Had Plat, HG and Black.
For those not wanting to pay the ridiculous price for CIB gameboy Pokemon games, there is an etsy lister who does a great job on repro boxes. I bought the full set and they are very nice. Not authentic but a nice substitute for display purposes. The store is Kuchopp boxes.
Yoooo, this video is making me feel better about the 300 dollar purchases I have also made... for mint condition cib ps1 games, specifically lol
Just bought house of the dead Saturn complete.
When wil you do a room tour ? I realy want to see the rest
Great videos as always Mystic!😊 Fun to watch everytime! Just wonder, dont you collect any bigger *Collectors Editions* or is it just more disc-based games? Greetz from Sweden! 🤗
He pays ridiculous prices though. Nearly $1000 for all that stuff?!
@@unicorntomboy9736 I guess money can in fact buy happiness
is that a trick question
@@unicorntomboy9736 nah dude, just a joke
@@dootor-san I cannot imagine the amount of packaging waste Ryan creates
These are my favorite videos
Do you have any videos where you show your entire collection? Would love to see it.
Thanks you for your video and channel
super mario 64 ds is such a great and underrated version of that game. this video made me want to play it again!
Love the t-shirt Ryan
That ray tracing version of quake is free on steam BTW.
I knew Pokémon would be in this video as soon as I saw the thumbnail haha. Those games are ridiculously overpriced thanks to Nintendo’s BS production lines making copies for only about 9-10 months after release, it’s a well-known business strategy called artificial scarcity.
Look up the production cycles for Nintendo games versus most other games, they are a third of what most games print for because it’s cheaper for them in the long run and guarantees 100% profit.
How exactly does Nintendo profit from artificial shortage? If they don't have a product to sell, they can't make money off it.
@@maverator by later forcing rentals of that product. Nintendo Switch Online ring a bell lol?
@@maverator It’s all about keeping the price of their games at full retail price. They’d rather make 100% profit than keep their games printing and bring the price of it down. They don’t care at all how it hurts the consumer. It’s simple supply vs demand, but it’s being controlled artificially by them.
It makes sense and it explains exactly why every Nintendo game stays full prices years after release and is a bitch to find even a year after it releases. Most companies like Sony or Microsoft over print their copies and they end up for like $5 at GameStop. Nintendo games don’t stay at full price because they’re selling like crazy years down the line, there just aren’t enough copies to go around when a game has only been in production lines for less than a year and it’s a highly-coveted franchise like Pokémon or Zelda.
That’s changing a lot more now with them entering the digital landscape, but physical copies are going to be a bitch to find later down the line while PS5/Xbox games will be easy to find. What’s the difference? They don’t partake in artificial shortage. Just look at every console/handheld generation, Nintendo games are the most expensive for a reason and popularity can’t be the only contributing factor.
Artificial shortage of Pokémon games? In what way? If there was a shortage, how does each pair of games sell 10-30 million copies? It's not scarcity, it's just the demand.
There is no "artificial scarcity" of Pokemon games. They sell millions and millions of copies. They are just high in demand.
Should definitely show entire collection
I see Melissa, I am happy. I also see Dark Magician Girl, and I am also happy.
that gamepro is dope.
The switch is fantastic. It's my favorite console. The imports are amazing on the switch. I'm really looking forward to my preordered copy of klonoa reverie series on switch.
hey nice dark magician girl shirt Ryan 😎👍
I bought White 2 on release for €33. I really regret not picking up Black 2 that day as well. I'd love to buy a box/booklet for my leaf green cart but Pokémon Crystal is a holy grail item. I don't even want to look at how much that would go for now.
I live in a country where the Pokémon games get released in a different language. These days I want to play my games in English though, so I wish I could get original copies of all Pokémon games that can be played in English. Thankfully since gen 6 the games are multi-language and for gen 1-2 I was able to get the English versions on the 3DS eShop but for gen 3-5 it's a nightmare. Not only do I have to import the games from another country, which makes the shipping very expensive (even the UK charges import taxes to the EU now). The worst thing is that Ebay is full of non-legit copies and it's very hard for me to be 100% sure that a copy that is offered online is legit. And I don't really want to spend 100+ bucks on something that could potentially be fake.
Soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew it would be Pokémon games. It’s crazy how much these games cost to own 😅 just this past November I paid around $175 for Pokémon White 2! They really should put all the Gameboy and DS games on the Switch store for purchase, not like they can’t. But even if they come to Switch they’ll be locked behind that subscription service I’m sure 🤦♂️
I'm Australian, Play Asia takes minimum 4 weeks to get here any time I order from them. They're 100% a last resort because of how much more expensive they are compared to everywhere else.
