Retrogaming and its nuggets are sold at gold prices
As is well known, the video game market, and especially that of retro gaming, arouses desires. Recently we have seen the price spikes of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S: the health crisis has shown its impact, limiting the production capacity of Microsoft and Sony suppliers. As a result, fewer consoles can be produced, leading to their scarcity. individuals, named scalperstake the opportunity to buy them in bulk and resell them at exorbitant prices.
A rarity that therefore also affects old games, as we have seen in recent years: the prices of the Super Mario Bros game often go up. The Italian plumber’s first-ever NES installment has already sold over $2 million, while Super Mario 64 has surpassed the $1.5 million mark
A game that exceeds a thousand dollars
If the retro gaming market seems to be dominated by Nintendo, some PlayStation games sometimes reach more than thousands of dollars. This is especially true of Sengoku Anthology, a compilation of beat ’em up games set during the Sengoku period.
SNK, the title publisher, only produces a few for Europe. If you say few copies, you say rarity, which drives up the prices: last year, a copy of the complete game (box + manual) was included sold for almost $1,500. Since then, the Sengoku Anthology has only gone up in bids and is revalued at more than $3,500 (with the blister, the plastic packaging).. In reality, we see that the full game can be found around $1,000 today (Amazon, eBay). The new game is different: only one copy is available on eBay and it is worth more than $1680. What are we doing again at the flea markets and in grandpa and grandma’s attics.
