4:46 PSM (Playstation Magazine) stickers sighted! The mags always came with a circular sticker to put on the lid of your PS1. Most of these were promo, but the smiley with the eye patch was the magazine's own logo/character. Absolutely loved that magazine!!
That was awesome. I had the entire psm mag collection and gave it away to a friend. Luckily, I kept the first 5 editions to myself and still have that smiley sticker. I remember waiting each month for those magazines like it was yesterday. Great times !!! ❤😊
been watching you for a few years now, i believe its been a few years lol but love your positive view on life and your attitude is amazing, looking forward to all the future vids you're gonna make
Ive had that green sign for over 10 years ive never been able to find out where it came from. Thank you so much for finally solving that mystery for me
Thank you for sharing your story and collection. Your a very humble guy. It's crazy how games hold so many conversations. I got my 1st NES for passing summer school in 1st grade so I understand.
I know videos are supposed to be short to keep people’s attention spans but yours are too short for me. The content is so good I’d watch a 2 hour movie lol good stuff Rick and Michael!
Smash Bros is easily my favorite fighting game Ultimate and Melee especially!! But I also love Tekken, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. I even like Multiversus and Dragon Ball FighterZ I guess I just like fighting games lol.
Too many favorite fighting games to name just one as the best ever, but I'll go with Rival Schols on the PS1. Played that for hours with friends, lots of great variety and combos, and it still holds up and is still fun to play.
Sf2 og , playing it religiously on the arcade until it came out on the snes. Then, i became super expert learning and mastering everyones moves in expert mode. Hardest level. ❤😊 still play it till this day. When killer instinct came out, i was also hooked. 😊
Those are great games but my favorite is x-men vs street fighter I know it is broken because it was early in the vs series But it was the game that introduced me to the vs series, and I invested a lot of time in the arcade When Mvc 2 and sf III came out I was already in university and couldn’t play as often at the arcade local Only once a month, well life goes on. I just received my terraonion ODE for the Dreamcast So I’m gonna install and start grinding mvc2 take my time unlocking characters
Hey Rick...ya may have regerts about buying those two games, but he's gonna remember that and now you're on the kiosk kings good graces! I think the next good find is coming to you and not the buddy in Cali!
If I'm not mistaken there's only like 1,000 of those Mario Brothers 3 in the box as they were a packing item originally and never really sold individually so that is actually pretty rare if you don't buy it you're a sucker
So i started fighting games with SF2 and that will always have a special place in my heart. However, my favorite fighting games will always be the Guilty Gear and Blaz Blu Franchises. They knock the ever loving poop outa any other fighting game for me.
Capcom vs. Marvel 2 original XBox , with Clay Fightes on the SNES, Primal Rage on Sega. Punch Out on NES and Tekken ps1... as I grew up with the new systems, I had a favorite game.
Soul caliber & Killer Instinct own more hours of life than any other fighter. I actually bought a cib KI from Rick before he could even put it out on a shelf.
If you look at the labels, manuals, and boxes of SMB 3, you will notice that the word "BROS." is in two locations. It is either on the left under the "M" in Mario, like you see @ 7:50, or more centered under the "A" & "R". This was done to specify the two different ROM versions. Unlike in today's gaming world when bugs are found you can just download a patch. Cartridge-based games had to get a new printing of the carts with the bugs fixed. So, the copies with "BROS." centered, which is more common, is REV-A. This also can be verified near the area of the UPC code.
I highly doubt the title design change has anything to do with identifying the rom revision. The bros looks so goofy on the left they simply changed it for the later releases.
@@PeperonyChease It does. I own CIB copies of both variants. The word "BROS." was moved over to identify the different ROM versions. As I stated, this can be verified by looking in the area of the UPC and you will see VER.-A or so,mething like that.
@@kbramlett6877 That doesn't verify your claim. Let's start with who is required to differentiate? If I remember correctly the earlier version was only released in a bundle?
@@PeperonyChease Do your homework. Then come back and chat with me. Until that time, do not argue withsomeone who was around when the game was released. That is right. I am 49 and I know my history.
my favorite fighting game would have to be Mortal Kombat.....not just the first one, but the whole series....they kept getting better and better with graphics and more outlandish fatalities as well as guest characters....
100 percent. Nothing changes. Supply and demand. If things get more rare prices go up and people sell. Will always be a market but prices could go way up and then down.
Nostalgia is like a drug. Millennials have become adults and a lot of them have disposable income to spend on games of their childhood. Retro stores and game stores will be around until the millennials die. The newer generation grew up with less physical media so that's probably the time when these stores are going to struggle
@@nateg5505 and when they pass on and only kids that grew up playing downloadable games exist why would they want to go buy from a store like that? they will have no reason to and have no connection to any of those games. these stores will die out sooner or later.
I'm going to say Marvel VS. Capcom 2 because it had an insane roster of characters and I've got a lot of good memories playing it a lot with friends on the Dreamcast back in the day.
Nice brother - I'm currently on a WWF nostalgic-driven triathlon journey, complete with a double-sided Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior bike, Ironman Wrestling championship belt, and more. Would love to connect!
street fighter 2 turbo was the game we all played in my family my dad was apprently the one who bought it so many fun times playing and a fair few arguments lol
The only "problem" with those 2 games Rock bought is if they are to keep or flip. Can always flip them at the con, right? If they were to keep, then I'd have been happy with the purchase, if they were games I really wanted. Having second guesses on them though, doesn't sound like Rick wanted them.

Marvel vs capcom 2 for sure. I’ve got 2 kiosks I’d let go the amiibo kiosk and Wii U kiosk as well
“Buddy out in Cali” must be BALLIN lol
Plot twist - It's Riff
Is Mort doing that or just CIB? @@Koolicyde
Nah, that’s just a common made-up phrase to build up scarcity and selling price!
right?
Cali has the highest taxes and worst regulations that punish entrepreneurs and business owners which why MANY LEFT
That’s the weed plug
The Mrs. Retro cameo XD
Tekken Tag Tournment always one of my favorites

12:36 I LLOOVVEEEE Mrs. Retro! she is so cute!
YES, I’m so glad I live close to Arkansas so I can go there!
Art of Fighting Neogeo When you hit somebody with the turbo kick. That felt so good. Awesome game
Congratulations on the festival level-up!!! That guy has a crazy collection that he just driving around with.
Mortal Kombat arcade version is hard to beat especially with learning all the different finishers. It kinda changed fighting games forever.
I'm the guy who sold the 13' GameCube E3 banner to Cakehoarder on RUclips..... The one he mentioned @ 6:23
He ain’t lyin…😎

Either Powerstone or Bloody Roar.....those were my jams back in the day.
Although also enjoyed a little tekken and some clay fighters.
Literally am addicted to YT because of Rick
Street Fighter Alpha 2, had so much fun with it and nostalgic game for me
Really enjoyed the store and the experience. Must have made this video right after I left. 😂
Definitely would have bought em! You’ll make a profit but will probably be the slow dime as opposed to the fast nickel 👌🏻
Dang, I have a CIB Tournament Fighters I am bringing to SoCal expo I was looking to offload for a better price than that... maybe Riff will want it :)
Love the Killer Instinct piece. Also booking my ticket for RetroFest
Those boxed turtles games would go great with my boxed turtle NES.
I saw a few things I wanted in that trailer. Also that Killer Instinct display 🔥
The question is how many times do you come across tmnt tournament fighters in box??
Street Fighter 3: 3rd strike and Marvel vs Capcom 2 on dreamcast will always be my favorite fighting games
I also agree with 3s and MvC2.
Definitely
Yep
this guy knows
Those are great games but my favorite is x-men vs street fighter
I know it is broken because it was early in the vs series
But it was the game that introduced me to the vs series, and I invested a lot of time in the arcade
When Mvc 2 and sf III came out I was already in university and couldn’t play as often at the arcade local
Only once a month, well life goes on.
I just received my terraonion ODE for the Dreamcast
So I’m gonna install and start grinding mvc2 take my time unlocking characters
I just ordered my VIP Retrofest Arkansas ticket. Let's GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Hey Rick...ya may have regerts about buying those two games, but he's gonna remember that and now you're on the kiosk kings good graces! I think the next good find is coming to you and not the buddy in Cali!
loved pitfighter from genesis. also a huge mortal kombat trilogy fan from n64
That Italian Job Heist scene was too good hahaha
He had awesome stuff... gotta help out your great connections... good buy in the long run :) Also they look sick ha ha
It gets better and better 🎉
Got the vintage macho man t shirt on love it!!!!
If I'm not mistaken there's only like 1,000 of those Mario Brothers 3 in the box as they were a packing item originally and never really sold individually so that is actually pretty rare if you don't buy it you're a sucker
I'm no techy, but I tell you, this was cool stuff 😎
Being an Xbox fan I really appreciated seeing this. Well done!
Virtua fighter 2 arcade or soul caliber on Dreamcast
Arent all the wild pokemon in soul silver like level 2-4 until you get to the bug catching contest?
i'm a warriors on ps2, or supersmash bros on n64 for the beat em up g.o.a.t.
Any bloody roar or soul caliber
So i started fighting games with SF2 and that will always have a special place in my heart. However, my favorite fighting games will always be the Guilty Gear and Blaz Blu Franchises. They knock the ever loving poop outa any other fighting game for me.

Best fighting game: Smash on the Gamecube, destroyed many friendships.

@kbramlett6877 you said the cover was changed to specify the rom version. If you know so much then tell me why you believe that?
I actually had the 6 foot killer instinct standie that had a batter in the back and his eyes blinked red was a sweet piece
I love those posters on your wall. If you have an NES Zelda one, please bring it. I'll buy it from you.
RJ
Best fighting game of all time? For me, it's TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 1, the arcade version!
Killer Instinct SNES and I would have absolutely bought those NES games yes.
If it hangs...how is it a "STANDee"?
Also, does anyone know what the intro says? It sounds like, "game again", but I could be wrong.
'Hanging standee' made me laugh.
When I heard the challenge I said Dead to Rights on the OG xbox and its a 73. I'm calling that a win.
Best fighting game for me has to be Tekken 3. Spent so much of my childhood playing that game!
Killer Instinct and Marvel VS Capcom on Dreamcast. The PS2 version is slower but still good
my favorite fighting game would have to be Mortal Kombat.....not just the first one, but the whole series....they kept getting better and better with graphics and more outlandish fatalities as well as guest characters....
Will stores like this still exist 5-10 years from now?
Yes. Because nothing beats actually going and looking and handling games.
I very much doubt it. Only the good ones will survive
100 percent. Nothing changes. Supply and demand. If things get more rare prices go up and people sell. Will always be a market but prices could go way up and then down.

Mortal Kombat 2 and KI arcade.
How could you let that monster back in your store.....
Just kidding. Welcome back Joah(sorry not sure how to spell it.)
Best fighting game is tough to say bit my top 2 are tekken 8 and Blazblue Continuum shift 2 (3ds game)
Thanks for the heads up. I subscribed to Pizza Hut!
I'm going to say Marvel VS. Capcom 2 because it had an insane roster of characters and I've got a lot of good memories playing it a lot with friends on the Dreamcast back in the day.
I luvved the quirkiness of N64 clayfighter. Hopefully get the directors cut eventually
MK 2, SF 2 and Killer instinct all a 3 way tie for my fav fighting game of all time
wholly sh.... hay Rick I will sale you as many of those 2 tent games for that price as you can afford! 🤣
I've always thought that the Tournament Fighters cover art is so cool...
Garou: Mark of the Wolves on Neo Geo / Arcade will always have a special place in my heart...
Is it unlimited VIP tickets or is this a "buy now or miss out."?
Street Figher 2 in the arcade, or Soul Calibur 2 on gamecube
Can’t wait to see you at so cal !
Tekken 2 and a very very very close second is def jams fight for NY.
Nice brother - I'm currently on a WWF nostalgic-driven triathlon journey, complete with a double-sided Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior bike, Ironman Wrestling championship belt, and more. Would love to connect!
Why is Rick such a happy guy! O=
My favorite fighting game is mortal kombat. I dont know if i could pick a favorite in the series. Maybe armageddon or 9
For some reason Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance stands out in my head because I played it so much as a kid.
Excited for the Expo!
Favorite fighting game is Street fighter 2 rainbow addition all arcades modded from Taiwan
Best fighting game, Marvel Vs Capcom 2. MVC2 to me was the evolution of X-men Children of the Arom, which is a great fighter as well.
clay fighter 63 and a third
Those games are fire! Great buy!
Power Stone on the dream cast is the goat
Mortal Kombat 9 but I think that street Fighter 4 is the best
MK2 was my deep dive into fighting games, so it holds a spot for me.
Ima look into it!! Coming from NorCal
Not much into fighting games but I would probably say streetlights 2 turbo as well even tho I completely suck at them
Great Hauling boss Retro
Been seeing ads on IG from a company that produces reprints of boxes/manuals....seeing a box that clean, I'd be concerned it may not be authentic
street fighter 2 turbo was the game we all played in my family my dad was apprently the one who bought it so many fun times playing and a fair few arguments lol
Favorite fighting game is Tekken 3 for me. Also the metacritic game was fun.
Where are those Giant Pokemon banners from hanging up by the entrance???
I took a shot every time he said “Hooking up my buddy in Cali and I’m currently naked in my neighbors tree
Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube... and it's not even close whatsoever. Thank you for your time, spread the word
Match of the Millennium on the Neo Geo Pocket Color
The only "problem" with those 2 games Rock bought is if they are to keep or flip. Can always flip them at the con, right? If they were to keep, then I'd have been happy with the purchase, if they were games I really wanted. Having second guesses on them though, doesn't sound like Rick wanted them.
