When it comes to video games, people that want to collect games, especially ones that have been remade for current generations and the like, they like to have the original whenever possible. Used video game reselling is a bullshit economy. I should know, I've spent a lot of money on getting old games from eBay and Half.com.
I mean, I remembered that I didn't have Mega Man Legends 1 or 2 after hearing that the development for the third was cancelled yesterday, and a copy of Mega Man Legends 2 is selling on average for like 60 bucks! 60 bucks! For Mega Man Legends 2! The Misadventures of Tron Bonne probably sells for just as much too. It's honestly pretty ridiculous.
Radiant Silvergun (one of the best games for the Sega Saturn imo) is a Japan import only and it goes for 250 bucks used. That's another game that's getting an enhanced port for Xbox Live Arcade, come on now people! Guardian Heroes is getting ported with full 6 player co-op and everything and you bet your ass the original is 50-60+ on eBay.
Really absurd.
