I've seen this game goes $200+ for bare cart on Ebay. Are you serious?
I remember I sold my complete copy here for about $50 in 2003.............:(

It sort of is I guess. What's the word 'semi-rare/uncommon'? I'm not really sure. I guess it's a rare one. Great game, lots of fun...Another of the unfortunate 'victims' of the SNES sky-rocketing price hikes.
I didn't realize the value of this was so high either. I just scoped out ebay's sold auctions. The manual alone has been selling for $100 and the empty box sold for $150-$200! I guess this is what happens when all the snes kids grow up and get good jobs.
SNES crap is super hot right now and Natsume stuff is all out of control, couple that and this Video Grading bullshit that everyone is falling into and that makes the value skyrocket. I hope this bubble busts and people's collections are worthless. I'm tired of hearing about " Oh I bought two copies, one to play and one to keep sealed, I like the art" Then get a poster of the cover then.
You can get this for a fraction of the price on the Wii Channel... no box or paper manual!
BTW, great game :)
I'm surprised that these games coming out on virtual console hasn't helped the price drop, but oh well.Quote:

Is it available on Wii U VC?
LOL!!Quote:

Vice I think your on to something. It might be time for me to unload my megaman X's, Final Fantasies and Mario RPG. Since they're almost worth their weight in gold.

My friend got it for 25 bucks at Video Games New York years ago and people know VGNY for jacking up the price of their games. We played through it three times that night and I was never able to find another copy and I sure ain't going to now with the way people have been pricing it.
I also wonder why no other publishers made more Wild Guns/Sin and Punishment type games on the original Wii. I know there's a Wii-Ware game but I heard it wasn't that good. You'd think the nunchuck and Wii-Mote pointer combo would make more run and gun games like that. I would have loved to have seen Konami re-do the arcade version of G.I Joe with those controls.
I picked it up loose a few years ago for around $40 on eBay, which I thought was really high. Now it's just crazy.
I'm sad that I missed out on Mega Man 7, the price on that one's been going nuts lately too.
You know now that I think about it Wild Guns reminds me of updated Blood Brothers.
That's one of the few SNES titles I play rather often. I think I still have the box and the manual somewhere in the closet with the rest.
aww shit that's a goddamn shame right there man. just imagine, if you had waited ten years to sell it, you could have made 150 more dollars! AND ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS WAIT TEN YEARS TO MAKE AN EXTRA 150 DOLLARS!Quote:

It sure has to Ninja Warriors Again,Rocky and Pocky 1&2.Even the sfc version can be a little pricey.There's been times i like to pickup wild arms,but playing it of the flashcart or through the wii/vc is enough for me.Quote:

Literally. Presumably due to their rarity. I'd searched for them months before selling for pricing ideas, ballpark figures etc and found zero.
In the end I put them all up, individually, at around £40 - £60 a piece (starting bids) on eBay, only for them to finish at prices I'd not comprehended possible for SNES games. Ninja Warriors alone ended at around the £300 mark. As did Mega Man 7.
SNES collecting has been nuts for sometime now. Probably just retro Nintendo collecting in general tbh. Seems it has a bigger pull/attraction > SEGA which is worth much less by comparison...
I just go with collecting Super Fami stuff these days. It's much cheaper overall and they work just fine on an American SNES if you cut the tabs in the cart slot.
For such a "rare" game, there sure are enough copies of Ninja Warriors on eBay at the moment :rolleyes:
Same with earthbound, over 2,000,000 copies printed. Where are they all at?Quote:

Then the laughter dies away when I realize I still need to find a clean loose Super Turrican 2.
I find this really humorous, considering how much better I like the import version. Yay, pay extra for the censored version with replaced enemies, which makes several encounters less interesting and lowers overall variety. Maybe I should sell my NA copy while it's hot?Quote:

I find it really hard to believe that there are that many people out there at the moment willing to spend several hundred $/£ on SNES games that cost a tenth of that a couple of years ago. Who are these weirdos?
I can't wait until the retro market implodes and this current crop of cash splashing lunatics all lose their shirts.
I swear there was a thread just like this a few months ago.
EDIT: Feb http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showth...ight=wild+guns
So...whens the wide-scale bootlegging of SNES titles going to begin? I've seen quite a few listings on ebay of rarer titles with new "repro" labels on them..
It's coming slowly brotha. Let's not forget that some of the higher profile games are being sac'd not by just shit sports games but other decent games as well. It's better just to buy a everdrive and go on your merry way unless you just HAVE to have a game CIB. I'm done with Nintendo and their cardboard box BS.Quote:

Well i guess (ninja warriors again) has become valuable cib at least.Loose ive seen it for less i have played it off a flashcart,but i like to have a copy of it still.Prices do seem to very for it and it's not as bad wild guns is.Quote:

I've never been as fortunate as the many people I've read about online who have found $5 Earthbounds at yardsales etc.
However, I'm glad I "overpaid" for certain titles years ago. Because if I held out longer for "reasonable" prices, I wouldn't have any of them today.
Wild Guns $75, Dracula X $60, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy $80, Mega Man X 2 $25, Mega Man X3 $80, Hagane $180 (ok pretty high).
Most of these were bought between 2005 to 2011. I guess not being thrifty kind of paid off.
So true. Like I can afford two copies of a Natsume game.Quote:

Earthbound is a fucking joke. Not even a rare game, and horribly over priced. I blame demand. I also don't care that much for it as RPG. I guarantee you guys I'll score that at a thrift store soon enough. Shit, I just found a psx valkyrie profile for 3 dollars. haha
This subject was touched upon in a similar thread back in February in which I've linked to previously, but I don't know man, SoCal must be some sort of thrift store paradise. Around the greater Boston area, you're lucky if you can find dirty genesis sports games let alone items of quality/value. And if the rare moment arises in which you find something decent, it will end up being more expensive than ebay (this is mainly a flea market problem).Quote:

I remember that thread, and I still agree with what you're saying here. Northeast Ohio is the same way. Overpriced crap at flea markets and the rare game store and virtually nothing at thrift stores (save the random DS kids title marked for $10-20).Quote:

whoa, I checked ebay real quick for the super fami wildguns cart, holy crap.... are these doods just hoping to get lucky or is the jpn one worth way too much too now?
I was going to say I am sorta glad I have the jpn version because I can enjoy the awesome gameplay without the temptation to sell it..... but now I am rethinking :)
Something you're not telling us?Quote:
