Seems fine for 90’s games in great condition, though they add up. My problem is the random $100-$300 games like silent hill. I’m not starting a collection if I have to pay that much for one piece of plastic to complete it

Should I do it? I held off on buying carts because everdrive exists, but never wanted to spend the money on it

Those are moderately worthless as collector's items, since they're opened and not particularly rare.
So, if you're not collecting, emulate.
If you want original hardware, flashcart it.
There's no reason to buy those carts unless you want to hoard in case they become worth something.

Most of those will end up in a landfill, or poorly insulated room until the elements destroy the hardware (if it's not already).

Buy an N64 flash card or just emulate. Games that are 25 years+ out of print should only go up in price.

N64 games are fun. The only reason I'm not playing mine more is my Super Mario 64 battery doesn't hold saves anymore and I never have time to sit down and figure out how to replace the battery properly

I caved in and sold a lot of my physical collection cause I was on the brink of being homeless until I got a big promotion.
It was a pain of selling things to different individual buyers but you make way more money in the long run. I contacted one of those resellers that buy in bulk and he tried to scam me by offering me a Nintendo Switch and PS5 for my entire PS1/PS2 collection that was worth more than $1000 if I sold the games individually.
In the end I made roughly $3800 which was enough to help me on a down payment on a car that I desperately needed.

It's time, anon. It's been 30 years, notice the pattern already.
Childhood was good. N64 wasn't that good. You won't recapture your childhood through replaying mediocre games on a below average system.

Who's paying for that? Especially if can play in other ways.

I remember when N64 was one of the cheapest consoles to collect, outside shit like Majora Mask, Pokemon Stadium 2 and actually rare shit like Worms Armageddon or Starcraft 64, most games were between 10 to 20 bucks with the big ones being up to $35.

I feel like such a clever bastard getting Pokemon Stadium 2 for $20, Snowboard Kids 2 for $50, and Starcraft 64 for $50. Majora's mask has been expensive for a really long time, even back in 2013 when I was first buying 64 games that one was always at least $50.

Uh, you can chug a dick because Eave Race is still great. Still the best Jet Ski game not that it has a lot of competition.

It had a faulty L button so I thought that was a good price.

Yeah Wetrix sucks. I'm not sure why that game used to get sucked off by N64 fags. There's FAR better underrated stuff for the system, like Rocket Robot on Wheels, or Gauntlet Legends.
