This is very scummy

[hi]

They're all ancient games and pretty much just ROMS.
Do not charge more than 5$


People have offered these for free as ROMS because they weren't sold anywhere, it's just pure rude to then re-release it after what 25? years? for money?

All they did was re-skin an emulator.

[hi]

NVM just looked at this ''publisher'' their other ''work''
Its all they do
Reskin an emulator and ask a larger sum of money than the original game cost (with inflation kept in mind)

And you don't even get a physical copy!

[MODCA]

This collection is literally localizing a bunch of yu-gi-oh games that have never left Japan before. For that alone I'm paying full price on day 1.
As if being old made the games lower quality somehow.

And you don't even get a physical copy!:winter2019sadgingerbread:

1. Product age has no immediate bearing on product quality.

2. Even physical Game Boy games were "just roms"; they were just delivered to you on a physical storage medium (out of necessity), which also served as your license to play them.

3. People illegally redistributing products for free in no way disqualifies the product owner from selling them or starting manufacturing back up. If anything, it serves as further incentive to do so, because clearly there still is a market for the products.

4. No, they did not just "re-skin an emulator." In addition to providing the game roms, providing an interface for accessing them, and adding an interface for the new in-game features, they have also compiled box art, booklets, and perhaps other promotional materials, as well as created system for converting link cable PvP to online PvP.

5. This collections will cost less than the combined games cost in the physical forms, even when accounting for inflation. A single Game Boy game would cost anywhere from $25 - $50 new, and this collection includes 14 games. So even if we go by the lowest value in that price range, we're still looking at $350 worth of games, and that's BEFORE accounting for inflation. Now, granted, even back then games would be discounted after a while, so if we apply a super generous 80% discount, that still leaves us with $70 worth of games (again, from before inflation.)

Yeah, it might be overpriced but these games are still better than Master Duel and all the mobile crap.

[Danny in Space]

Its worth every cent for an english Duel Monsters 4 on GBC. That has been untranslated up until now.

Did you really write all that and come with points such as '' Yeah Well, they made an interface to swap between the games!!!'

You just 100% verified its a reskin of an emulator just by saying that... you know that right.
Even to the '' feature '' of time fast forwarding, savestates and '' multiplayer ''
Those are all in the free emulators, each and every one of them... so thanks for that i guess?

If that's going to justify the 30-50$ pricetag, thats on you.
feel free to get scammed.

And yes, 350 before inflation.... Correct, do your own damn math before you spurt out something next time fanboy.



Im glad i have my own physical copies, the only one i dont have is the one that kind of looks like that medabots RPG one, with actual overworld stuff.

It's 14 games with presumably well done emulation and added PVP online to some. If it's too expensive, wait for the inevitable discount. But to say this is worth $5 is absolutely ridiculous.

Buddy, its freeware that went through a lawsuit and is now presented to you on a silver platter.
Free would be a correct price in my opinion. 5$ because steam
You dont own the product even after purchasing.

You don't take someone's car away because they stopped manufacturing it only to resell it later in a different package, so why is it okay here? (any product ever will suffice, a car is just an example)
Explain it to me.

1. I worded my description of the product very deliberately, and you changing those words removes a lot of the context they brought. A re-skinned emulator does not do what this product does out of the box, nor does it come with the added materials I listed. No doubt emulation is being used for this package, but there is still more to it than that.

2. You failing at 2nd grade math doesn't make me a fanboy, nor would me being a fanboy invalidate the math. 14 games, each costing $25 - $50 at the time of their initial release (as was the standard for Game Boy games), comes out to a total price range of $350 - $700. Since this is what they would've gone for back then, that is indeed before inflation.

3. A scam is a deliberate act of fraud, based upon incorrect reporting of product value. We know exactly what we will be getting here, and it is provided by the legal owner of the goods in question.

4. Please provide a source where one could legally obtain these games for free, if your freeware claim has any legs to stand on. Otherwise you are confusing illegally obtained/sold goods with legal goods.

5. Like I covered in point 2 of my original post, even physical media is not something you own. By purchasing a physical game, you are purchasing a licence to access the game in question, exclusively for your own use. The physical medium (a cartridge in this case) is simply a way to get the game onto your console, nothing more.

6. Your example does not align with the reality of the situation. KONAMI isn't taking anyone's legally obtained copies of their games away from them - they are simply providing a new way to legally obtain these games, and may at their own discretion pursue legal action against people that illegally redistribute copies of their products.

Nothing new, just the full math laid out for your convenience. It was always a range; I just chose to go by only the lowest.

Back then, new Game Boy games would go for somewhere between $25 and $50 each. Multiply those prices by 14 games, and you get $350 and $700.
