"Video game collecting is not just a hobby for completionist dorks any more. More and more gamers are starting to see their favorite pastime as a potential investment, as the popularity of old games means that certain titles are in less and less supply. The older and more obscure a gaming system, the better chance that its more sought after titles will fetch a high price on Ebay or other auction sites. "
Chris Penwell from PlayStation LifeStyle writes: FromSoftware has had a vast history of games development since 1994. As we celebrate the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, we take a dive back into the company's history.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The Neo Geo was something of an oddity in the gaming market – a family of systems that included the MVS arcade machine, AES home console machine, and a number of short-lived experiments such as the Neo Geo CD and Neo Geo Pocket. What tied these all together were the brilliant 2D titles created by SNK, which included a number of the most enjoyable fighting games of their time. Thanks to the company’s resurrection in recent years and some internal cheerleaders at Sony, the Vita has been home to a great number of Neo Geo games, although sadly it hasn’t received the brilliant Arcade Archives series by Hamster, meaning it's an incomplete library."
The switch is also another portable NeoGeo, lots of incredible games on it. If you like old school beat them ups and fighting games, as well shoot them ups, it's the place to be. The Vita will go down as an incredible piece of tech that got overlooked. Still playing mine to this day.
As announced last week, SNK’s Metal Slug Anthology released today on the PS4, and is currently available on the North American PlayStation Store.
I... don't have any of the games on this list. Time to hit up eBay!
If by rare and collectible, they mean...20 bucks at Gamestop...then, yes. These are all rare and collectible.
The thing is to get these games while they're still in production...not to get that after they've already become rare.
I've got a pretty large collection probably worth thousands on ebay, games from every single system that are rare and worth money. Like Panzer Dragoon Saga, which I bought when it came out at Toysrus for 5 bucks brand new, never opened it and its now probably worth a few hundred dollars on ebay. It was on clearance because the Sega Saturn had pretty much died right when the game came out, which is why I got it for so cheap.
Innocent Life and the NIS title are the only games I could see on that list becoming collectibles. Harvest Moon games have always been collectibles in the past because of the cult following, only recently has the series gotten more mainstream attention and thus more games being produced. But since Innocent Life has remained mostly obscure and has a very limited production, this game will most definitely become worth more in the future. I already have a copy of this game and its still untouched factory sealed!
I got the game but i lost the casing ..
Wonder how much that is worth :P
It is a pretty good game, Does feel realistic and the psp control isnt hat great if you play this game for over 30 minutes my hands started to hurt. Nothing beats a good old gamepad.
not completely related: On ps3, there's the "uncensored" version of LBP that can fetch high prices.
