Die Hard - NES, when did it become rare?

[Vector2013]

The market has really gone crazy over the past year. I guess AVGN has some effect on the market, but he has been popular on youtube for at least 5 or 6 years now, so I don't know how the recent NES/SNES spike could be related to him.

Hasn't. Agreed. When is the AVGN straight to Beta Max movie coming out ?

I think when Pat the NES Punk went on Pawn Stars with his NES Championship cart that really drove the online market upward quite a bit.

Have a youtube link, not sure what PS episode it was.

Die Hard is a solid NES game, despite the price and AVGN's review. Really fun game. Lots of replay value too.

Iirc, It's US release was exclusively at, of all places, Toy's R Us. That could be part of it.

Not only die hard, in general all the nes titles (and dont start with the system) are insanely expensive

[Vector2013]

Avgn inspired hipsters. Avgn, his fans (many hipsters), and other reviewers that were "inspired by him" (many hipsters) drove the Nintendo market up.



" I don't know who is the bigger scumbag: James Rolfe for supporting this ass-hole's kickstarter to scam people, or Greg Pabich?

Fuck you, James Rolfe. You're a douche bag hack for even supporting Greg Pabich. "

" Honestly, what did you expect? They promised they'd fix the glitch that didn't allow to advance to the next levels. They never said they'd fix any of the other bugs.

So, bashing Pabich for the fact that the game still sucks, is stupid. You should blame yourself that you even decided to back that retarded project that never should have existed in the first place. "

I heard Pat Nes Punk or Mike was on Pawn Stars, that true ? Link ? What's next, Irate Gamers props on Toy Hunter ?

Wow. See it's the ones who were inspired by AVGN and now have their own shows (2nd generation, if you will) keeping prices up.

All of this just forces more business towards well made flash devices and repros. We should be happy there's such great alternatives.

Me, you, Chilly and a few others are the only ones who truly dig the Mega Everdrive though.

It was Pat. You can find the clip pretty easily on YouTube. It is possibly the most contrived, staged situation I've ever seen outside of Duck Dynasty, and it totally ruins any credibility the show has.

[Vector2013]

Okay when I tried looking for "NES carts Pawn Stars" before on History Channel Online, the player tried to load it, but it didn't play. I'll try again on youtube or something.

Edit. Found it, it's Season 4 Episode 13, "Room and Hoard". Was only 5 months ago I guess. Best youtube footage below, others are being recorded as their tv is playing it from cable.



Maybe he was better bringing avgn there, at least he can semi act.

Here is why I don't like searching youtube first, bad quality many times.

[MrMatthews]

Eh, I think Pat is a better performer than James, if for no other reason than because Pat does not really have a "character" per se, whereas James is COMPLETELY boring and uncharismatic outside of the nerd role.

What ruins that for me is that Pat is pretty famously proud of those games - no way he'd sell them at what I imagine to be the peak of his popularity. He just likes being on TV.

[Vector2013]

Yes but Pat sits there and nods his head 10 times with that fake weird looking smile and bug eyes every time someone was talking to him ha ha. Bad acting all around there from everyone. Pawn Stars was hammered when it first came out anyway as being a meh reality show with just some history nuggets thrown in because of channel it aired on anyway.

[MrMatthews]

That's why I just stick to The Game Chasers. That's a reality show.

[Vector2013]

Never heard of him before he appeared on avgn episode or collab episode or whatever. Never watched him since. Didn't know he was even that popular.

[MrMatthews]

Well, being at the peak of one's popularity is a pretty subjective concept. He's not that popular at all, but I imagine this is about as popular as he's likely to get.
