Has it been crashing the AES prices yet?
>this modern recreation of the Neo Geo was released, which isn't eben 1:1 recreation>I will sell my old 1990s Neo Geo for cheap then!Do anybody really think this happens?
>>12586351Sales of physical copies of old games drop when it gets re released all the time.
>>12586351>Damn, fewer people want to buy my Neo Geo that I'm selling for $5000>I know! I'll increase the price!Do you really think this happens?
I don;t think why people would think that replica units would disrupt the collectors market for a real AES? It won't. The original hardware will always be worth something.
>>12586375>Damn, tens of thousands of new people are also competing for authentic AES carts now>I know! I'll decrease this price for Puzzle Bobble!Do you really think this happens?
>>12586454>the re-releases aren't authentic... because I say so!>but the new Beatles vinyl re-release is authentic because I say so!
>>12586463It is yet to be determined if any other particular game one may want, especially licensed games like Puzzle Bobble will ever be re-released.
>>12586371Prove it.
These things are probably more likely to increase prices than drop them due to the spike in interest

>>12586324It won't crash them, it will increase the price for the original consoles and carts.The kind of people who spend money on original AES games are not buying the games to play them, they're buying the games to collect them. And nothing other than absolutely original will ever be good enough for them. Consider the price difference between a 1st edition 1st printing of a book vs a later re-issue. They are the exact same book in terms of content. Yet people pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for the oldest and rarest versions.
>>12586454Puzzle Bobble is a horrible example as it's one of the few Neo Geo games without an AES release, and even the MVS cart is an official conversionIt's also not even an expensive game at under 50 bucks
>>12586324there are even less people aware of its existence than tha there are people aware of the original's existence, of which, even fewer care.
>>12586324not this autistic bullshit again
>>12586324Original hardware is the real thingReproduction hardware by a chink factory is not the real thing
>>12586371For every time this happens, there's an opposite case, too. Sometimes it causes prices of the original to spike. Paper Mario TTYD prices crashed, but Little Samson prices have been stable, and Gimmick! prices rose.
Great thread
>>12586324Not at all, it's not like 17 years ago when the Wii Virtual Console actually caused cartridge prices to shift down. I would think this would only cause them to jump up due to how everything is speculative now
>>12586324>Has it been crashing the AES prices yet?my sides. this board is just an insane asylum for schizos lmao>>12586351>Do anybody really think this happens?dumbfuck retards think this happens. somehow extremely uncommon consoles and carts will become common overnight! you'll be able to get one for $100! all carts will be $50!>>12586375>not copingWhat an embarrassing thread. Hilarious but embarrassing.
>>12586371>>12589445>>12589706>things that 100% absolutely never happenedI was selling a lot of carts over the last 20 years and at no stage did I or anyone else I know of put down prices because of a re-release. What kind of insane fucking bullshit is this? It's unheard of. You retarded faggots on this board struggle to remember what day it is let alone know about things from recent history.
>>12589739?
>>12589756>posts ebay graph showing collective of sales, price reductions and increases>nothing about re-releases impacting resale pricesI'll make it clearer than your low resolution graph: Prices don't go up and down because someone re-released something on a newer system. That isn't how ebay works. That isn't how trading works. That isn't how collecting works.You can't read graphs. Your make believe fantasy of price reductions when re-releases appear only works here on this imageboard because you have the education of a baboon, and you're raging mad because anons have decided to laugh at you instead of interact with your dangerously low iq cringe.
>>12589783>Prices don't go up and down because someone re-released something on a newer system.The two dips shown in the graph are specifically because it got re-released on Virtual Console and the Collection of Mana.
>>12589783How are you going to explain this one, which only went up because a youtuber made a video about it
>>12589739>I was selling a lot of carts over the last 20 years and at no stage did I or anyone else I know of put down prices because of a re-releaseI honestly don't give a fuck about your anecdotal retard drivelhttps://www.pricecharting.com/game/gamecube/paper-mario-thousand-year-door#completed-auctions-cib
>>12589783This was already posted earlier but XCX on Wii U went from high desirability when Nintendo was shutting down the Wii U eshop to basically worthless once the Switch version got announced and subsequently released. Same happened for the first Xenoblade game. Not retro, but still fully relevant to discussion here.
I think what really ticks me off is that the current "bubble" is only for NTSC-U stuff. I know PAL versions have a bad rep but stuff like Metroid Prime 2 here is perfectly fine and playable, yet only the USA release suffers from an overinflated price.
>>12589783Ninja Gaiden Black dropped hard because it's $10 on the Xbox store, only to jump back up when Ninja Gaiden 4 and Ninja Gaiden II Black were announced and then released in 2025.
>>12589819By 6th gen most PAL games had the option to play at 60hz so it pretty much is exactly the same game. It really does prove that these prices are all fake and gay, much like everything else here in the US currently.
>>12589819It's because people are collecting games, not playing them.Super Metroid shares identical guts between the NTSC-J version and the NTSC-U version. The only difference is cart shape and cart label. Yet the US version is over twice the price.Silent Hill 3 for PS2 sees the NTSC-U version go for double what the PAL version does which itself goes for double what the NTSC-J version does. All three different versions have english language and 60hz support.There's plenty of other examples (and notable exceptions) but these are the two most ridiculous ones that come to mind.
Should have gotten a MVS for 40 bucks instead lmao
>>12586718Damn. Its almost like someone should invent a method to hook computers up in a world spanning network. So information like this could travel instantly and around the globe. Will probably never happen tho.
Destroy all trading cards. Destroy all figurines. Destroy all vidya.
