Episode Notes:
1. Prices are rough estimates as of the date of this upload. Prices can and will vary based on the smallest of things. I cannot account for every variance in condition and/or every auction that may go super high or low.
2. What you do with your money is your business. This is my opinion and it is no more an authority than your own. Spend your money how you want. I'll do the same.
3. I am not a video game collector and have not been for more than a decade now. The vast majority of my stuff was purchased over many years as these systems existed at retail.
4. I am not a reseller, nor have I ever been.
5. I am often asked does TH-cam influence retro pricing. Of course it does. Just like every other article, video, message board, and fan site is capable of doing. The internet is a vast area of information, and it was only a matter of time before like minded people converged onto the media explaining the availability of stuff they loved as kids. It was inevitable.

Sega Lord X where do u get repro Saturn games
Lots of places do them. Try Etsy or SaturnDave.
Where can you get ISOs for japanese saturn games?
@@nightruler666 try Romdepot

I love your honesty SLX, you say it how it is, you don't preach about "hidden gems" and other crap like that, you are so down to earth and speak to your audience like actual human beings.
This is why I subbed to you all those years ago on your older channel and why i'm still subbed to you now and watch all of your content.
I appreciate it my man, Thank you.
"If you pay $1000 for an f'ing video game, you have no one to blame but yourself." lmao too true!
Unless you make $100k a year and have money to burn.
I'm starting to think some of these rare games might be a bargain even at a $1,000. Think 20 years into the future, and ask yourself, what will a sealed, mint condition copy of the original Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Phantasy Star, or Panzer Dragoon Saga be worth? As crazy as it seems, I can honestly see some of these games being worth almost as much as a house. Because all the people who grew up with those games will be in their 60s, and will have all the disposable income, and will be feeling pretty nostalgic about "the good old days". Especially with the miserable course that our society is on, nostalgia is going to be twice as big as it is today.
this may be the first time I heard him drop the F bomb
Whales who's OCD is exploited spend 10's of thousands of dollars on micro transactions and loot boxes in F2P "games" they will never own a year even when they can't afford it.
$1,000 on retro rare *games* as collectables is pretty reasonable by comparison as far as collecting professions go.
what about games that don't involve f*cking?
I like your honesty, really good to hear people telling it like it is lol
20:43 the best part of this whole video! Good stuff Mel, enjoyed this little series.
The Southern Sega Gentleman fancy seeing you here my dude! I love your channel and am eagerly anticipating your return!
That's awesome to hear man! I've been watching Mel since like 2015 man. I'm hoping to be back home by June brother, so hopefully not much longer now.
That was one of the funniest things I had ever heard. Sega Lord X is the best
That is THE statement that EVERY gaming-based youtube video should lead AND exit with. Especially those collector jackanapes videos who like to crow on and on about their latest "acquisitions", then bitch and moan about their game rooms getting ruined by mold or what-not.
A lot of collector youtubers glorify those "holy grails".
It can be easy for people to get swept up in it or try to collect for fame because it's so glorified, they think they'll be a part of a community, but it usually ends up not being fulfilling.
I remember spending my rent money on Hyper Duel and realizing I couldn't make ends meet (Really stupid I know, I was just out of high school at the time) it was a lesson I'm glad I learned.
I recently sold a complete copy of Battlesport, one of the best decisions I ever made
About 4 years ago I needed to build up some cash real fast. So I went on Ebay and sold some of my most prized games in my collection. This is what they were and what they sold for:
Resident Evil Saturn (beautiful condition) $85
Megaman Legends 2 PS1 (fair condition) $65
Conker's Bad Fur Day N64 (cart only, but perfect label) $70
Burning Rangers Saturn (excellent condition) $275
Snatcher Sega CD (excellent condition) $450
Nintendo Virtual Boy (original box with all US released games complete in boxes with instructions. Except Jack Bros.) $650
Panzer Dragoon Saga (great condition, and it even had the white cardboard disk sleeves instead of the black paper ones) $699
I was sad to see them go since I had owned them for many years, and never intended to let them go. I still kinda miss them today. Especially Panzer Dragoon Saga.
But I definitely needed the money, and I hope the people that bought them appreciate them like I did.
I figured that somebody here would enjoy a little insight into a real story behind selling rare games on Ebay.
Thanks for sharing that.
Great story, bro. I owned many Saturn games back in the day. I even reserved copies of Magic Knight Rayearth, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Shining Force III and picked them up on launch day. I played these games and loved them, but eventually I had no choice but to sell them as I was in college at the time. A year ago I decided to get them all back now that I could afford to do so. In six months I’ve almost completed my NTSC Saturn collection in extremely high grade. This was only possible because of awesome people like yourself who kept these games in such great shape and passed them on to another person who loves them as much as you did. I hope you get all of those games back soon just like I did. Cheers!🍺🍺
I just paid around that price for my copy conkers bad fur day. Those aren't bad prices you sold your games for. Sorry you had to sell your prize possessions. I had to do a similar thing with my comic collection.
In a poetic sense, you can say those video games had your back during a hard time.
"If you over 1000 dollars over a fucking video game you have no one to blame but yourself" I feel the venom in those words, but also, FACTS
My saturn collection just started, got my two favorite games dragon force and shining the holy ark, payed about US$500 in total. Thanks to this video I have a few other titles to get. Great vid very informative.
Keep in mind the Japanese Panzer Dragoon Saga (Azel Panzer Dragoon) will not play on US systems with the converter cartridge. It senses that there is a cart in it and forces you to start the game without a cart so you'll have to play it on a Japanese system or have a mod-chip.
There's a code to bypass it. You'll need an action replay specifically
Glad to see Magic Knight Rayearth getting some love!
Epic ending man. I have to say that discovering your channel has been great! You finally made me realize my childhood dream of getting a Saturn. It came in just yesterday - a Japanese Saturn (model 1). And while I don't yet actually have any games yet - I have been rewatching your content for ideas on games to get, once my Psudeo package arrives. Thanks again SegaLordX and I will catch you next time!
Justin Jackson hell yeah man!!! Welcome to the Saturn family!!!!
@@cuddlycard9059 it's been a long time coming but I'm glad to have a Saturn at last!
An ex-gf of mine gave me one for my 21st birthday with 6 games and I’ve been playing them since and nothing else. It’s fun, but very rough.
I'm firmly in the "Thank God for emulation!" camp.
Saturn emulation is garbage right now, hopefully it will get better
That's another reason why these dealers can get away with these crazy high price because they no Saturn emulation has not matured yet
Its also dubiously legal.
@@lldjslim You haven't heard of Mednafen then.
@@SomeOrangeCat
nope only kronos and it can't play every saturn game
Yaba sanshiro is the best saturn emulator
I remember that steam hearts has an uncensored edition.
There was only one video on youtube but they removed it .. the best way to identify it is that at the beginning instead of silence when the characters speak, there was a very relaxing music.
SLX, this channel is literally gold! Keep at it! Best part of this video HAS to be the coda.. Simply Priceless!! Think that You summarized what a WHOLE lot of gamers in general feel about collecting, that prices are just INSANE for some games and demand is feeding the cannabalistic feeding frenzy that's pushing things ever higher. Also, had forgotten just how gonzo Cho Aniki was.. Hilarious!
Glad I have a pristine copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga.
I'm so thankful I bought a Saturn in 96 and was a fan of the system back then.
Best line of this whole video "If you pay a thousand dollars for a video game, there is no one to blame but yourself," I laughed so hard that cause its true af...
Best line in the entire video. I laughed out loud at work, lol.
I have bought several expensive games and I would do it again
Still have my copy of Burning Rangers from back in the day. Still mad I never bought that copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for $50 when I had the chance. All the Saturn games were being clearanced out and I figured I'd wait until the price came down 🤦♂️
Awww same here! I remember seeing Burning Rangers, Panzee Dragoon Saga, Shining Force III _._._ even the Street Fighter games in the import section! Ohhhh
Don't feel so bad Electronic Boutique was clearing all of their Sega Saturn games at $7.99CAD and the same store cleared Atari Jaguar games at $3.99CAD and the console for $38.99CAD. They were packing up everything Atari Jaguar and they were going to sell everything for pennies but we needed to buy everything they were shipping back. I wish I would have just had them add everything up because to be honest it likely wasn't that much.
@@randybradley4151 - i remember at Kaybees they did that... 19.99 for system, 9.99 or maybe 4.99 for games.
Up front in the clearance bin next to the 3 for 10 X-Men bin.
Didn't see Zool, so i didn't go for it
Almost everyone's got at least one story involves the day they made the mistake of not buying something or a bunch of somethings that went on to be worth a lot of money.
I owned the Sega nomad for a couple years before I sold it for practically nothing. I could have never guess how stupid that would have been. The retro market is both fickle and goes up extremely fast. It's supply and demand and the fact of the matter is with these low run games supply will always be far lower than demand.
Same here. I saw it on the shelf at Electronics Botique for $50 and contemplated buying it but just days before, I was chatting with a import games store employee about this game and he said it wasn't every good, it's just that it's rare. I thought about what he said and passed on buying it. It will always be one of my greatest regrets in life lol.
Yes! Dark Savior is one of my all time favorite video games of all time. Its cheesy but the way the story plays out with all of its scenarios changed my actual worldview. I learned very young that a small decision can change your entire life for the absolute best or worst and in life, timing is everything. A good ending/horrible ending can be seconds apart. Check it out.
Yes!
I think i got the slowest time, played a while,
then went for the fastest time.
Then opened up a third slot, got the medium time.
So now i was ready to play! Three scenarios in a row ... Awesome!
Enjoyed the gameplay, characters, sound, visuals;
but it was the unique stories that kept me going the most
"If you pay $1000 for FUCKING video game. You have no one to blame but yourself."
Preach that shit Sega Lord X.
The Japanese realised that the Resident Evil acting is high art, and that's why there's no dub.
"If you pay $1000 for a videogame, there's no one to blame but yourself". WORD!
Kinda depends on how much you make, now doesn't it? I know, I know - "I live on ramen noodles! - people with more money than me are bad!!!"... sheesh
@@RetroMMA If you pay $1000 for a fucking videogame, there is no one to blame but yourself.
Some people save up and pay 50,000 for a car. That's what I call a waste
Thank god i was employed in 1999 and never had to sell my Saturn & games to purchase a Dreamcast like i did previously, selling my Mega Drive, Snes & 50 games to get my Saturn.
And thank god i was also ahead of 99% of people when it came to retro collecting because i just wouldn't pay a lot of those prices.
Good to hear a recommendation for Dark Savior. You should do a full review on that title
Second favorite game all-time for me ¬
Right behind Dragon Force
Unfortunately, I’m one of the crazy collectors that will pay whatever it takes to get the good stuff on Saturn. I own all four of the games- Hyper Duel, Magic Knight Rayearth, Burning Rangers and Panzer Dragoon Saga- from your last section. I’m crazy.
Yep me too. All 4 are great, particularly hyper duel. Expensive hobby! Last year and this year I’ve set myself a strict budget and stuck to it which has been better!
Don't think i will ever forgive myself - back like 16 or 17 years ago, visited a store in NorCal a few times that had one Saturn game - the unopened Magic Knight Rayearth for 59.99 .... Ugh!
a better investment than stocks
@@briantaylorcloe7725
Wow. As far as rare Saturn games that have exploded in value that's a biggie.
And unopened too damn, I feel your pain.
You're not crazy. You simply follow your hobby by your own rules. As long as you keep them with care and play them, we are fine 👍
Should've checked the warning, did not expect that F Bomb, lol. Great video, and it shows what I should be looking out for with Sega Saturn games. Still shocking how easy it is to just get a Japanese Saturn and use its library. It feels like there's not too much of a reason to have an American or PAL one for me, lol.
In 2006-ish, I asked someone working at a video store in West Chester, PA if I could just buy all of the Saturn games they had for rent. No one had touched them for years, so they were happy to let me walk out with ~50 games for about $20. Panzer Dragoon Saga was one of them. Had to sell the entire collection when times got tough, and it must have been before the surge in demand because I definitely did not get that much for PDS.
I totally agree with your finishing assertion.
I decided that 2020 was my year to go for the US Sega Master System collection. In doing my research and looking at prices there is no way I can justify paying nearly $1000 for a sticker on the back of a box - I'm looking at you Sonic the Hedgehog!
So far its been a lot of fun and I am already over half way there but 1000x yes - I am my own worst enemy when it comes to over spending on games but at least I can admit it.
Great video man keep up the great work!
That ending was beautiful. Just the utter disbelief that anyone would pay over 500 for a single video game, let alone the inevitable 1,000 it will be in the future, conveyed by you with a perfect delivery which segways into your usual video ending music. As priceless as some of the games mentioned in this video.
Good thing i got Pseudo Saturn Kai and a CD Burner Part 2
As you have the cart I would like to ask you a question. I cannot find an answer anywhere I have looked. If I buy the Pseudo cart for a PAL saturn console, do you know if I would be able to run NTSC repro games? Thanks!
@@alucardvania986 Ofc. It unlocks your console region no matter what.
Love my Mega Man X collection on the PS4. Saved me a ton of money!
Who knew when I bought Burning Rangers and Panzer Dragoon Saga in 1998 for $100 I could have gotten a return by a factor of 10 twenty plus years later?
I sure as hell didn't and have been facepalming myself ever since I got rid of them in 2001.
With the current craze to remake and remaster pretty much everything, even games about 5 years old, I wish Sega would remake Panzer Dragoon Saga. I've got the game myself and I love it but I think more people need to be able to play this classic. A modern interpretation of that beautiful art style would be incredible. It's a shame so few people are able to appreciate the game.
SegalordX is one of the realest TH-cam gamer personalities, no gatekeeping nonsense, no shilling, just complete honesty. I appreciate the fact that you acknowledge that resellers can be greedy and in the end, the original developers and creators get nothing in return.
Thank you very much for the video. my love for Saturn's games will have to go either the repro discs or mainly Japanese as I lost a huge number of my old games in a fire some years ago but it's always nice to see games I may have missed c:
(Will miss my King Nightopian though :(
There actually is a Japanese version of Magic Knight Rayearth which goes for around $30 complete on EBay.
I saw one for $15
*It’s worthless if you Can’t read Japanese or enjoy the funny story line so what’s the point dudes?!?*
@@afriend9428 we're just pointing something out, spaz.
@@afriend9428 It's an anime game, so become a weeb and learn Japanese?
Man, nothing gets me off more than watching compressed 240p FMV's of Playboy girls singing.
"If you pay a thousand dollars for a FUCKING video game, there is no one to blame, but yourself!"
Hilarious! Great video.
I was a fan of the Sega Saturn from the start, so I was always purchasing games back when the system was struggling in the market and prices were MSRP or discounted. Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, Magic Knight Rayearth each cost me $56 with tax.
Dragon Force, Guardian Heroes, Sonic Jam, Sonic R, and plenty more were all bought brand new for $15-$30 discounted.
Crazy to see how things have changed for the Saturn. When games were cheap, no one wanted them, but humans always desire what is hard to attain, which constantly drives up prices.
Sega Lord X, I showed Yuji Naka my copy of Burning Rangers back in 2001 and he made an audible gasp, he was extremely shocked to see an American copy of the game, and he signed my instructional manual for the game. How much do you think the complete game with signing would be worth?
I collect in the sense that when I see an high value game sold at a low price, I'll buy it, even though I might not play it for a long time. I will never sell my collection (I'll divorce before that happens) So I am ok with not playing all the games right now. I will not buy a game I have already, just because it it cheap for resell purpose. I do however not do repro or roms as I only consider playing as part of the whole experience. There's just something about holding a complete copy of a mega drive game in your hand. They just look so cool.
The only purchase I regret was a cart for Turtles in Time for the snes which I bought for about 120 dollars, because I was impatient to get it. That was due to miscalculation of exchange rate and shipping on my part. Ive never understood the love nintendo people have for cardboard, especially when you consider what they pay for it....
I just want to say how good the game 3 Dirty Dwarves is to play with a friend. My friend and I would get so hype playing it together.
The fact that there's copies of any of these games floating around out there, loose, proves there's monsters in this world.
Again no Super Tempo? I was shure you will put it in part 2. :(
Oh btw what about Ninpen Manmaru? That game exploded in the past 5 yrs.
I really just can't bring myself to pay that much for an old game. I got baby pinky demons to feed, and the cost of human flesh is already very costly
My uncle is still kicking himself for giving his friend's copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga back instead of buying it back then.
Damn!! I really loved Mr Bones! Well, to each his or her own. I loved its charm and different gameplay elements. The cinematics were very good also.
I said the exact same thing to myself just now! I freaking love that game
You are fucking awesome. I love how you just rip everyone paying stupid prices for games and constantly mention how they are not actually good enough to be worth that much. I love collecting, but it's the most senseless part of the hobby and glad someone else sees it that way. Cheers man.
20ish years ago I walked into a dying Computer City that had everything 80-90% off. Some guy had cleaned out most of the games (His cart was so full that at first I thought it was a cart they were using to stock the shelves). I was annoyed he was buying every copy of every game, but then I noticed he had not hit the Saturn section yet so ran over there and grabbed 1 copy each of every game I did not own. I don't remember how many I bought, but it was a lot. I was a poor college student at the time so it was fantastic to pump up my library so much for cheap, but now looking at the insane prices I can't help but be tempted to eBay them and pay for a kitchen remodel I badly need. Though after reading the comments about emulation being so poor, I'm not sure I can bring myself to do it. If anything, this series has inspired me to pull out most of the games and set up my Saturn on my little 13" crt in the basement..
"Pump your semen into them".
Best thing, i ever heard in this damn year :D
I agree, I just can't spend more than 150% of the original asking price for a video game lol everdrives and disk drive emulators have been godsends
Did Radiant Silvergun ever get mentioned? That was the most sought after Saturn game when I was a kid.
It's expensive but there's many shooters on Saturn that still cost more
It’s actually one of the few I’d consider paying the high price for, it’s an amazing game, though it can be played for $12 on xbox 360.
@@Dessan01 Seconded...
@@Dessan01
Ditto.
There are many $100 Saturn games these days. Silvergun is probably easier to score on XBLA, making the Saturn purchase one for the diehard fans. But I definitely agree that it’s one of the system’s visual masterpieces and should be enjoyed by everyone.
SegalordX informing everyone on the idea of paying 1000$ for a video game, the only word i can ad to that is: Amen!
18:15 I sold my copy on ebay for over $500. They only made about 20,000 copies in U.S.
The manual was water damaged and stuck together so that is why I sold it cheap.
Have you mentioned Saturn Bomberman on your lists yet? That goes for well over £100 here.
Also PAL Panzer Dragoon Saga, there's a ton of loose copies of the first disc of the game out there, as the official UK Sega Saturn magazine gave the first disc away as a cover disc one issue. They go for £30-£40.
Yeah he did in the first video
Buying the demo disc inspired me to buy the full game
Man. Your recommended games were all games I owned on the Saturn and make me wish they were rerelessed on the Switch for reasonable prices.
The biggest issue with Panzer Dragoon Saga in particular is that it's not even that rare. There are always copies available, ebay is usually loaded with them from all regions. It's just priced so high no one can actually afford it hah. I was lucky to get my PAL copy (minus the outer sleeve sadly) back in the day before the Saturn boom for around £80.
Proof that rare and expensive does not equal good. I'm glad there is a TH-camr out there who doesnt condone or put these price on a pedestal to flex on people. Good video man, and great alternatives
This video depresses me. I owned most of the US/UK games on this list (including Panzer Dragoon Saga!)... And I sold them years ago for a fraction of their current value just because my mum was nagging me to clear some garage space. I always regret it. Ah well, hopefully they found good homes.
I remember I sold my mint copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for 100 bucks when ebay was starting out. It
was a lot of money for a game back then.
Wow - mr Curtis....
I think it bought it from you. I gave it to my friend to sell at garage sale. He sold it for little more. This was years ago. Did not know it would go up alot more. It was a ok game , I like the other game on this list more. I have Shinning Force 3 and Dragon Force complete but they don't have jewel case. Legend Of Oasis , I like to play as well as Magic Knight Rayearth. Final Fight Revenge is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE game , I'm glad I bought it back in the day for 50 bucks. I traded it to a friend , 10 years ago.
With Sega Saturn I think repros are a great alternative for the really expensive games. I know many will frown upon that but it is what it is. Most of my Saturn library is originals but a few I did buy repros for and I am very happy with the results.
They can repro Saturn games now?
All we need is a good clone console and we're in business!
Never forget that nearly all Sega Saturn games are available online for downloading and burning. Never feel discouraged if some titles are too expensive to buy. Far better to enjoy these classics like Panzer Saga and Powerslave and Hyper Duel. And don’t forget that sometimes you can score a cheap deal on Ebay, especially with disc-only auctions.
Old school Playboy and Sega Saturn. A match made in heaven! Haha!
Thank goodness for devices like the Rhea and Phoebe SD card mods allowing us to play backups of these games on original hardware.
“If you pay 1,000 dollars for a fucking video game, there is no one to blame but yourself.”... I could not stop laughing at that part. But that ending really does nail a great point. Well done.
Embrace the repros...and get real Japanese versions whenever possible--it's that simple!
That's exactly what I do. Usually the Japanese version have better art on the case and manual anyways.
Buy loose too, Pal Panzer saga missing the outer box and manual costs $250 that's not bad imo, Later saturn pal cases are kind of nice too, you get large artwork with cases that won't crack.
I'll be getting Burning rangers someday, Pal and Ntsc Saturn games are nearly identical there's no reason to pay twice as much for the same game.
edit: unless you want consistentcy on your shelf, fair enough
Eh, I can’t stand my collection not being all uniform US versions for any console. I know that’s probably just me 🤷🏻♂️
@@MegaNerdX I respect that completely, but I'm not a collector, I'm a retro player.
I'll tell you what. When I got my North American Saturn back in the early summer of 2010, I actually paid only $40 for it. I'm not joking. I also got all three Sonic games complete for it at around the same time. Getting Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R complete for cheap was pretty easy as the Buy it Now prices were low. Getting Sonic Jam complete for cheap, on the other hand, was a different story. It required me to win an auction, but I got it for less than $30. Boy, am I glad I got it when I did.
I would get the Japanese Saturn in the spring of 2018, but I got it for just one game - Gale Racer.
Thanks for the advice at the end. It's hard to collect since games price have continued to shoot up in the two years since the video came out. It's good to know about alternatives.
It is really unfortunate the Sega Saturn is such a nightmare to emulate.
Glad to see that there are PAL versions that are relatively cheap compared to the US counterparts. Had the Saturn here in Europe sold better than what the usual narrative wants us to believe?
I just recently bought a mint copy of resident evil NTSC for $140 and I'm completely happy with it. I'm the type to shuck out the money for CIB games. There is just something about owning and playing the original that makes me happy!
Lol everytime your logo starts I imagine Asta yelling yyaaaatttaaaa! but this time the Asta theme started playing lol
I own Panzer Dragoon Saga complete in its case with instruction booklet and everything. I paid 300 dollars for it several years ago. It's nice to know that it's now worth double that!
20:44 YOU PAY A 1000 DOLLARS FOR A FUCKING VIDEO GAME THERE'S NOBODY TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF PRICELESS
Glad I bought and kept my copy of Sonic Jam for much cheaper back in the day. I do have Dynamite Deka, Japanese.
I got Panzer Dragoon Saga for $150+ over two decades ago. I thought THAT was expensive then, but now it's thrice as much now so I guess I lucked out in the end.
I try not to spend over at least $80 for an old game, but sometimes I bite the bullet and pay a $100 price. But I certainly would not pay $500-$1000+ for a game! Not worth it no matter how good a game is.
Great video, man. One of the most important things in collecting its patience. I just bought a JP Dragon Force complete for the SS, with spine card and everything, for 6 bucks, along with a JP Psone Symphony of the night, for the same price. Actually, finding this deals is what makes collecting so wonderful. You have to be patient and look, search. Dont settle with the first deal you encounter. Keep looking.
I so agree with the statement that people that pay these outlandish prices are the real problem.
To quote a well-known band: you do it to yourself and that's what really hurts.

Keio Flying Squadron for SEGA CD goes for over $1,400 now on eBay. One of my personal favorites, but I can't afford that mess.
Spot on!! I was fortunate and unfortunate..twice with my Saturn collection. My first collection was a pawn shop bought Saturn with Darius Gaiden and Galactic Attack in summer of 1999. So a few weeks later I bought two Imports, Radiant Silvergun and Real Bout Special from Buy-Rite. After that I bought DoDonpachi, DBZ Legends, Thunderforce V, Last Bronx, Fighters Megamix Import, Virtua On Netlink version, Nights with the Special Controller, Burning Rangers, all the Capcom 4 MB games. I did get street Fighter Zero 3 but gave it to a friend because I had gotten the DC version. In 2000 my apartment was broken into and all my Saturn and PSX games including imports were stolen. My second collection was better, but a job loss and pending birth on my 2nd daughter I had to sell my collection once more. After that I never went back to collect the game systems again
I remember back like 20 years ago or 15 a friend of mine was hardcore collecting for the Saturn and he bought Sega fishing Japan only game for quite a bit of money and he was so proud we were like is it any good and it wasn’t
I have all of the games that interest me on this list (bar Hyper Duel - no way am I paying that price for a CD) . Despite owning a complete set of PAL region releases (and an equal amount of imports), I completely concur with your conclusion, stick within your budget and emulate those expensive must have titles.
Merci pour ton travail Sega Lord X. "Thanks for your work Sega lord X". ^^
I actually own the South American release of Burning Rangers and bought it new for about $60 shipped just a few years ago. It is the same box art as the US release but in a small cardboard box with the game in a standard CD jewel case. But the game itself is the exact same US release of the game and even works in normal US Saturns as it is region coded for the US. The text on the box and instructions is all in Portuguese but the rest of the game itself when playing it is the US version. So that is another way to get Burning Rangers for less than the current asking price.
I love your channel. Thank you for the nostalgia. I still have my Saturn. Bought some 8bitdo wired controllers and love it again. Alas I don't have the funds for original titles so I use the Action Replay cartridge mod. I used to own Shining The Holy Ark, Dark Savor, Shining Force 3, and many others in high school during the 90's but my patents threw them away when I left for college. Bummer for me...I just took my kids to the Sonic movie and YT brought me here when looking him up after we watched it. Thanks for your work man.
These videos are great for the fact it tells me which games to emulate since they aren't worth the asking price and probably never will be.
I saw PD Saga up at a store in Manhattan. If I hadn't had to practically pay my brother's rent that month, I might've returned home with it.
Well I'll be getting a jailbroke TG16 Mini with Magical Chase, that's for true.
Sonic Jam is great, but some of the sound effects in the original games are strange - ring sounds, for example, are very muted. As for Panzer Dragoon Saga, disc 1 is a great intro but everything is amped up as you move through the game - just fly around Uru - Sunken Southern Ruins at sunset for a taster of its atmosphere. I'm really happy I bought it at launch, because there's no way I would've paid what people are asking for.
With Super Tempo, I regret not getting it at £80 a few years back...now it goes for £400!!! The 23 Dislikes are from Gamers who didn't like you saying that paying 1000s of Dollars is ridiculous! XD
Most of my thoughts on how I approach my own collection of games are covered here. Awesome Video.
Ha the ending had me laughing. Love the dry humor you bring. Keep up the great content bro
"If you pay $1000 for a fucking video game, there is no one to blame but yourself."
I might need to get this tattooed somewhere.
Proper video! Love this approach to the crazy market values!
Man. That last line made me look in the mirror. Most I ever paid for a Game was a complete Pristine copy of Snatcher on Sega Cd. $700 After completing it, I understand why it goes for what it does and the hype for it. It is a masterpiece but man I do feel kind of dumb for splurging on that.
A year later and most of these games have jumped up considerably in price.
I only own about 53 Saturn games, never spent over 50 bucks on any of them either. My friend got me Liquid Kids for $75 years ago.
Hey, Magic Knight Rayearth was made by a Japanese Woman-like team known as Clamp, who was known for Cardcaptor Sakura and Code Geass as well as X with now Bandai Namco Arts.
Sonic Jam looks fun!
I own Panzer Dragoon Saga with the sleeves and foam complete. Bought it for $250 about 10 years ago.
Great selection of games. Maybe a saturn English fan translation episode next? Cover the Shining force games, Policenauts, and Dragonforce 2.
One of my frenemies in HS showed another friend his copy of MK:Rayearth and actually said, "worship it". (He did.)
