Why is retro gaming booming?
sad. Just pirate the roms onto a chinese gameboy that plays every pre-2010 console. Only basedfags buy actual carts
Because when you buy them you own them and can't loose your save/access if you say something outta line.
Also they are good, modern games suck ass
pokemon emerald was the peak of pokemon games , 10/10
what do you mean? you can emulate this shit on a phone in 10 minutes. get xpadder on your pc and you can run them from the couch on a sexbox paddle.
> Play modern game
> Woman looks like a ugly man
> Here's our opinion we want to force on you
> Oh and your favorite male characters of the older game died or got useless and got replaced by a lesbian
I'd rather not.
because many undesirable men have nothing else to spend their money on so they buy a bunch of stuff to horde onto their shelfs to remind themselves of their childhood and when they had a social structure of people that gave a shit about them.
Just pirate like first poster said. Also just emulate this shit.
Physical copies of media can't be removed or altered very easily, plus the old stuff isn't as pozzed as what is produced today. Games, music and entertainment today is dripping with onions and hiv flavored communism.
Because so many modern games are dumbed down and generally shit
>Chinese gameboy
Link?
I want a GBA micro so bad bros. But they were too expensive for what they were when they came out and now they're way too expensive.
Should I just get a flash cart for my GBA SP?
>retro games are bas-
I sold a few old Wii games and a Lemmings manual for $45 to a local shop. Kek.
because it's clean mechanics and the game is the game.
economy is weak so people are flipping commodities for money. people have more confidence in the value of collectibles than currency.
I don't think the issue is flipping, more like hording.
Maybe they see it as an investment. They smell a bull market for years to come and are getting in now.
Nostalgia and faggots on YouTube. Early gaming was actually shit. Seriously go back and play Atari 2600, Famicon or Mega Drive and tell me it is good.
>noooo you can't say new things are shitty!!!
>You were just a kid so you just liked it then
>new games are just as good as ever
Same thing is happening to the music industry and everywhere.
Same reason anyone who knows anything about tools or cars uses the old stuff
no good games anymore
I do play them and they're still kino and full of soul.
I gave an original Pokemon Red for original Gameboy cartridge away to my old manager's son years ago. How much is it worth now?
I gave the Gameboy (one of the skinnier mini red colored black and white ones) and a couple other games away to someone after that. Was that worth anything?
Atari VCS is mostly shit. Some Famicom and Mega Drive games still hold up. Shinobi III is based.
I've done that but it feels soulless. Will try to find a something I can connect to computer or phone to use as buttons/controller, especially since I've been wanting to play some Gamecube games as of late
games used to be cool
$40-80 maybe for red/blue
the ones in OP are overpriced (except that gameboy mini shits so cash), but the ruby/sapphire/emeralds didnt sell as well so there's less carts out there and the scarcity drives the price up
I play Atari all the time my favorite game is Atlantis and I also like Miniature Golf and Gyruss
Wii is great for emulating gamecube, I cracked mine and it plays games off a flashdrive.
if you pay 200$ for a GB micro you are seriously seriously fucking stupid
A way of rich fucks to hold wealth. Its the same as art. Nobody wants to play these games. They are to be held for a couple of years and sold for a profit later.
Its a bubble. Don't be there when it pops.
