Why is it always in just about every CeX at over £100?

It's also on PS2 and you will often see it in CeX too. Almost like nobody bought the game as it was a late release in like 2008 or something.

Forget that. How much is that Silent Hill Shattered Memories on the left?

It was ported to modern systems including Steam, Switch, and PS4, so there's not much reason to overpay for the PS2 or Wii version if you just want to play the game.

Apparently it was originally developed as part of the Pocky & Rocky / Kiki Kaikai series, but that fell through when Taito merged with Square Enix, and the developer retooled the project.

even if you want to play the wii version you shouldn't pay. it takes 15 minutes to mod a wii and download every game for free

Didn't check. Only took a photo of Sayuki because I have seen that game in a few branches at silly prices.

I wish I still had a Cex. They're not great but I managed some great finds like P3P for $20 a decade ago.

/vr/ needs to update its cut-off point for retro.
The Wii is turning 20 years old next year, and the DS is already 20 years old.

The funny thing is that this was also released on PS2. And CeX also want big bucks for that version too.

Yeah, it's specifically why I posted the PS2 listing over in >>713392324, because that counts as /vr/ whilst the Wii release doesn't.

Is it only a lot in Europe? NA copies are way cheaper. PS2 version is basically the same price.

nah, honestly the cut off point should be the 360 and ps3 end of life, games from nowadays still feel like shit it could come out on the xbox one and ps4, hell some new releases still show up on the ps4.
However there can be certain games that should be banned due how much of a lively community they still got, like tf2 or gta v.

Something I wanted to but couldn't mention in the /vr/ thread was the Switch physical from Strictly Limited Games.

I pre-ordered it in November 2022, still hasn't fucking shipped.
Hasn't sold-through either, is supposed to ship this year and isn't that expensive compared to the grey market retro releases.

"retro" isn't a moving date when it comes to games.
change the rules slightly and suddenly "the last of us" is retro.
really gc/ps2/xbox shouldn't have been added

Yeah I ordered that too for PS4. I think the game is alright but nothing special. Neat it's getting a reissue.

>>713393661
I have no problem with 6th gen being added. Gives a good reason for me to talk about niche xbox stuff /v/ otherwise can't touch.

The biggest distinguisher should be SD vs. HD. The 360 and PS3 are high definition, so they shouldn't count. Obviously handhelds are a bit different, like I don't think the Vita is retro even though it's SD. Everything before that like Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, etc. are fine.

man i was about to post a copy pasted definition of retro gaming to shut you up but goddam there is an entire debate about this topic, some people saying it should be pixel shit only, other websites saying it should be the moment a console stops getting new releases, and so on, guess retro gaming will be for the time being whatever a group of autists decide or force to.
>>713394278
The thing is that PS3 and 360 graphics are day and night compared to xbone and ps4, yeah some major AAA releases still hold up but most games from that time look like shit by today standards.

I think there should just be a board for older games that are too "new" for the retro board but still old.

if /vr/ ever gets deleted for some reason, /v/ wouldn't even change in the slightest
nobody cares about old games anymore
it's a very niche hobby

Just because old games aren't spammed all over the board like the latest AAA trash or indie FOTM doesn't mean people don't care about old games.

I dunno, I've noticed interest in old games dwindling. Every time a streamer plays a retro game they hit record low numbers
