Thanks for the update, always interesting to check in here. The Saturn is still growing quite a bit! Still, there have to be at least 10 working n64s to 1 Saturn out there in the wild except maybe in Japan. A testament to the Nintendo name perhaps? Why would the n64 benefit from nostalgia to such a greater degree than the original Playstation? I can think of a few reasons more ppl played the former as kids, the library aged significantly better, less access to the library, the multi-player popularity , but for demand to be 2x higher or more is still surprising.

Prices Updated in November In our retro game collecting guides, we often focus primarily on the games themselves, but I wanted to start monitoring the values of common variations of console hardware as well.

The lower price range may only include the console itself and minimal accessories like a power adapter. Even at the low price, the machine should be in working condition.
The high range of loose consoles should include a controller or two, power and video cables and be in excellent cosmetic condition. For some older consoles, this higher price range may even include some restoration of the hardware. Complete in Box CIB : This is for a console in good working order that also comes with its original packaging.
The higher price ranger should include most every item that came in the original retail box and should be in excellent cosmetic condition. New Unopened : This grouping is for units that have never been opened from its retail packaging or used.
Since this is less common, we simply give a single price range estimate, but there are still some variance in the value due to the condition of the packaging and such. March 21st, at am.

Only four of them were ever made and these were given away as prizes to some of the people in attendance. Due to their rarity, the price is likely to increase further still as time passes, which may explain why their owners seem to be hanging onto them for now. As any self-respecting gamer should know, the Nintendo 64 ran on cartridges. But, at the time, PlayStation was turning heads with its fancy new CD technology, and Nintendo quickly wanted a part of that action.
Enter the 64DD, a disk drive peripheral released exclusively in Japan in Unfortunately, it was a massive commercial failure and no one really remembers it even existed. But with failure comes rarity, and these babies are on a whole other level of rare.

There were quite a few different variations of Sega's final home console, although none of them are quite as unique as the Maziora Dreamcast.
Developed by a Japanese vehicle manufacturer of the same name, only of them were ever made. That's not the only reason why people are willing to pay upwards of six grand for them though. The consoles and controllers feature a special coating which causes their color to change depending on the lighting and viewing angle.
In certain conditions, the systems appear to be aqua blue, but they can also take on a purple coloring if they are viewed from a different angle or the light levels change. When it comes to rarity, the S. Dreamcast is right up there with some of the hardest to find systems ever released.
