>emulation is free and better than ever yet balding KHVs insist it's not le authentic experience
>stupid

gee i wonder

Collecting retro games as a hobby is fine. It's kind a shit thing to collect because the majority of games aren't even any good, but you could do worse as a hobby.
Collecting as an investment is retarded, and always has been.

Absolutely. It was viable 10-15 years ago, but now it's just a shitshow unless you are a nip and still have stores with reasonably priced retro shit. Emulation has gotten pretty damn good as well and it rather boot up an emulator then go to the basement to hook up my SNES to my old-ass trinitron to play a shitty 50hz-version of SMW

I'm not listening to a retard that wares a hat indoors

I think having a collection of your childhood favorites is a fun idea. Buying every shovelware title you can find for a platform is just dumb though.

Buying physical is stupid. Only time to ever get physical is if you really love a series. But these faggots always collect dreck and stuff they don’t really care about.

The funny thing is, they buy physical and digital so they don’t ruin the seal. Collectors buy games 2-3 times, and they don’t even play most of them.

If you don't know Japanese, yes, it's retarded. You're competing with "collectors" who don't actually play games and would rather just have a shelf of old shit to stare at, and you're competing for objectively WORSE versions of the games due to censorship and localization. Generally speaking, if you have an actual love for the hobby, the respective console you're collecting for, and its library, I think it's perfectly fine to buy old games. The problem is fags like the YouTuber in the OP.

Getting a Saturn and discovering the library over the pandemic was one of the most fun experiences I've had with video games in a long time. I love the hardware, love the feeling of putting a disc in and booting it up, reading the manual, and imagining how the person who originally owned the game felt playing it for the first time back in the day. Unfortunately, a lot of games that don't have a language barrier, like a fighter, shooter, or platformer are succumbing to the bullshit price gouging of the western market because, again, faggots buy them up to put on their shelves for "gamer cred." Thankfully most of the best games are still pretty cheap and accessible.

people who want a complete collection are retards. cheetahmen is a shit game but people who collect it because 'its rare' are the worst collectors. Only collect the stuff you like/good games. No one is going to call you out for not having Barbie's Dream Adventure on the NES

not to mention to input lag boogeyman is becoming more of a thing of the past due to reduced input lag. But there's always going to be crt/pvm fags (even those that play on everdrive).

I wonder how much constant battery swapping on cartridges impacts their value. Because at some point you'll have to choose between either that or a dead game.

Speaking of retro shit

Is this seal authentic or fake? guy wants $10k for it

Truthfully it was always stupid. It's just more stupid now.

Back when I was into it, you could actually find good shit for very good prices very often. Nowadays, every fucking arab grandpa checks for prices online

>stupid post
Zoom zoom

>It's just more stupid now
It's just more expensive now.

They have entire warehouses full of unsold retro shit in Asia. The price hikes and scarcity is basically just a Western thing. Doesn't help that baby boomers and Gen Xers hate haggling.
