Video games not worth the expensive price tag

[mick_aka]

Having been a Saturn collector for a very long time, I have to say about 75% of the games that you regularly find over the $80 mark are complete crap.

[Gogogadget]

On the same case of stupidly expensive SNES games: Wild Guns.

Like seriously, $180? This game is decent, but no game is worth that CART ONLY.

See also: Earthbound, Space Megaforce, Supper Turrican 2, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, Castlevania Dracula X, Aero Fighters, Final Fight Guy, Mega Man X3.

SNES games are too expensive.

To be fair, Final Fight Guy was a rental only wasn't it? If so, not really surprised it commands outrageous prices.

Ninja Gaiden Trilogy is one I actually wanted though, I didn't want to drop the dough on it, so one day I decided to emulate it, pretty glad I never bothered.

Do you often make things up like this?

Ever tried injecting a ROM into a VC wad? It's perfectly possible. Until someone pointed that out I totally forgot that I was playing it via an injected wad and that Earthbound isn't actually available on the VC tbh.

Bullshit.

Super Tempo and Tryrush Deppy weren't worth whatever the price I paid for them 12 years ago. I will say this it is amazing that Final Fight Revenge is worth so much now. That game sucked ass. I knew it was going to suck when it first came out but it was one of the last Saturn games and I got it for 24.99 brand spankin new. If anybody wants to know of a cheap halfway decent Saturn import then I recommend Willy Wombat. It's not a great game but not terrible and it's priced to sell for the time being.

Super Tempo should be a $300 game.
It is that unique.

Self explanatory.

I have to go with the following:

Blast Wind: Sure it's technosoft, but that doesn't mean every shooter they produce has to be a gem. Blast Wind is decent, but not mind blowing as its price tag ($150). Graphics are kinda bland for a 32 bit game, and its way too short and easy.

Burning Rangers: Call me crazy, but I find many 3D Saturn games don't age so well. Burning Rangers is one of those games. The game is too short, features decent if repetitive game play, and has graphic errors all over the place (clipping, transparencies not blending well with other transparency effects). Also, the camera pisses me off, because when you are trying to get out of a heated situation, you can't tell where its safe to land. Also, they went way overboard with the fire bursts when the counter reaches 100% (Stop already!). Yeah, not worth the 100 dollar price tag. Get the Jap version instead, like me.

Earthbound: What's so great about this game? Sure its decent but why do people go crazy over this? $150 for the cart alone? Earthbound has bland graphics, unappealing characters, unmemorable music, and yeah, the battles are kinda boring. I bought mines long ago, and sold right away.

Will post more later.

please don't

pls name them

A like burning rangers, but i don't think it's worth the price.

[TrekkiesUnite118]

I wouldn't say Burning Rangers is complete crap. Is it worth the $100 it tends to be going for these days? Definitely not. Though I'd say around $60-$75 would be a fair price for it considering it's limited print run. That's what I paid for my copy a few years back.

Alot of expensive Saturn games though are over rated and not really worth the $100+ they go for. Some good examples are as follows:
Magic Knight Rayearth
Albert Odyssey
Guardian Heroes
Radiant Silvergun
Psychic Killer Taromaru * Worth more than the others, but not the crazy price it goes for
Hyper Duel
Shining Force III
Dragon Force
Super Tempo

These are not bad games or crap games by any means. However I don't feel they are worth the $100+ they go for on ebay. Which is why I have yet to pick up most of them. I'd say they are definitely games I'd put in the $60-$85 range, but not the $100, $150, $250, or even $600 some are going for. I understand some are truly rare with low print numbers, but the game themselves are not worth $600.

I had no idea some of those games were $100+.

[bultje112]

almost of those games are worth 100% imo. why not? I rather have 10 of those games then a new tv or something.

They didn't used to be. Lately prices on some of these games have been going up rather stupidly.

Because as a game they are honestly not that great. Some are good, but again not worth over $100 for when there are other cheaper games equally as good. Ebay prices and stupid vanity collectors are killing this hobby for myself and many others.

Half of them are not.

[TrekkiesUnite118]

Half of them are not.

If you want them in good condition they are. I just did some quick searches on Ebay. All copies that were in good condition with Cases and Manuals were in the $100+ range with maybe one or two in the $89-$99 range. The only one that wasn't was Guardian Heroes, which thankfully seems to have crashed with the XBLA release. There's still one or two sellers hoping to get $100+ for it, but it's pretty much around $50-$75 now.

No game worth more than $50 in my book.
