Vintage game consoles

^ So is it easy and cheap to find nice condition carts in Japan? So much of the stuff I see locally and on ebay is loose carts that look crap.

Prices are still on the N64 games in that photo... 490y for Mario Golf, 590y for Banjo Kazooie and 690y for Kirby. Around $20 AUD all up! I'd guess the same games, PAL versions would cost at least 150AUD in this condition.

Tiny Toons was a bit of a fluke win for just 765y posted. Most Konami games from that era start at around 5000y in a box. Which is a real pita, because 2 of the games from my childhood collection that i want to get back are the Castlevania games. Dracula XX/Vampire's kiss goes for around 20000y It was one of the last SNES games i bought as a child before selling the entire collection to fund a PS1. A mint PAL version these days would be worth a stack!

Kup's right in general, i still see plenty of dirtied and yellowed carts but most labels, manuals and boxes are well kept. Generally my area isn't like Akihabara or Den Den Town with lively retro stores though. I have one large place near me but they don't get a lot of new old stuff, and i have a recycle shop (not just games) which is where most of my luck happens!

200,000 Yen for Dracula X? I am pretty sure I bought mine at Super Potato in Akihabara for like 60-70,000 yen. Cartridge only though but in excellent condition.

You've got one extra zero in your numbers... 20000y/~200AUD. That's for in a box yeah, cart only ranges from around 6000y-7000y like you got yours for!

Anyone here getting the Super NT?

I'm personally not going to get one but I'm curious if anyone else is???

It is certainly a good quality console but way to pricey. I can't justify it as I already own 3 SNES with enough spare parts to build a 4th. I also have a cheap HDMI scaler that has been working freaking great for nearly 5 years now.

I just downloaded and played Crazy Taxi for the Xbox 360/Xbox One which is a port based on the Dreamcast version. I hate to say it, but it's a much better game to reminisce about than go back and play today.

Had some great fun with the arcade version back in the day though.

Why do you hate to say that?

Crazy Taxi is a great game. It's simple yet fun gameplay makes it timeless. For the time it also has great graphics that still keep up today due to personality and color.
