>didn't buy all of the gamecube games I wanted a decade ago
>never will since collectors raped the used game market

>>713651036 (OP)
Use swiss you dumb faggot.

I still own mine and I never use it. Just fucking emulate faggot, Dolphin is literally one of the best emulators there is

>B-but
If you disagree it means you're a collectorfag yourself, or a collectorfag in denial

They should do periodic re-releases. Imagine if other media did this.
>sorry, you can't buy the terminator anymore because we stopped printing those discs, check the used-movies market
Even fucking Disney brings movies out of the "vault" every now and again.

gross, no thanks, that's the low iq option

>traded Pokemon Colosseum to Gamestop long ago thinking "Oh I have Gale of Darkness, I don't need this one anymore"
>now it's $150
Never gonna stop regretting that. At least I never got rid of my copy of Emerald

I KNOW about emulation you fucking retards. I play on my modded wii frequently.

>>713651392
Swiss isn't emulation you stupid cocksucking retard.

>now it's $150
Are you 10 years old? Who doesn't have 150 bucks to throw away? I wipe my ass with 150 dollars.

>>713651242
that's how japan does it for most anime actually
it's dramatically inflated in price (hundreds for part of a season) and never gets reprinted unless it's some popular shonen jump adaptation
otaku are a bit fucked in the head

>Collectors
YouTubers, anon. They drop some video, everyone chases after the game. I've seen YouTubers shill shitty games just so they pump up the value on eBay.

>had a friend who sold his unplayed DS games back then just to buy a naruto game
>those sold games jumped the fuck in price
i felt sorry yet angry at him

It's funny how you types always think the other people who want the games are the "real problem".

>>713651392
Lil nugga even admits he won't play them either lol.

>>713651557
If he's like me the idea is "$150 for a game i might play again or $150 for a bunch of new games I will play".

I can spend tens of thousands of dollars right now on random shit without hitting savings but it doesn't mean I will.

>>713651036 (OP)
Oh no now you have to pay on Dolphin which only provides higher framerates, higher resolutions, various input methods, working online gaming and all of that on multiple platforms. All for the monetary cost of $0. How will you ever recover from this grave mistake?

>>713651036 (OP)
buy japanese copies

>>713651380
Why would you even care about physical games anymore when swiss/flashcarts/modchips/misterfpga/emulators exist?

>>713651446
it literally is

>>713651967
It literally is not.

>>713651892
Ironically that's one of the reasons physical media has shot up in price. The fact you can play any of the games any time for free makes playing a physical game that much more special which translates to price

Post hand.

>>713651557
I refuse to pay more than $40 for any video game.

>>713651892
At this point I really can't argue against it. In no way can I justify $400 for an authentic copy of EarthBound just to play it once and let it sit on the shelf forever

>>713651892
If i don't have the game in a physical copy (or digitally, something that i can access at any time), i lose the desire to play it

it's okay you can skip the gamecube

>>713651036 (OP)
Third worlders that never had the chance of making enough money to buy a physical video game will try to gaslight you into thinking emulation is based.

Why do modern fags pretend it makes them based if they pay money to have a WORSE experience playing games?

>>713651036 (OP)
what are you talking about nigger? Most gc games are still pretty cheap, got me all excited thinking im sitting on a gold mine or some shit.

>>713651036 (OP)
>I want to collect old gamecube games too!
>damn me!!
Start playing some games instead of coveting junk.

>>713652468
They unironically need to subject themselves to sunk cost in order to force themselves to play video games.

>>713652468
playing old games 30 fps 480p games in 4k 60 fps with tons of shitty mods and shaders isn't a better experience

>>713652714
is that a bad thing?

>>713651036 (OP)
Over 50% of Gamecube discs suffer from disc rot. It's not a collectible game library.

>>713652941
won't change their worth much

>improving games doesn't make them better
