Why are the Mega Man games so dang expensive!

[toymachine78]

I know they are super fun and iconic, but its not like they are rare. Growing up everyone I knew had at least one of them.

I kick myself now because I traded mine when I was a kid because I got tired of them, and all the sequels. 

And just when I thought the eBay copies were rediculously priced, I stopped by my local retro store and mega man 1 was $80 for the cart, manual and dust sleeve. Geez!

First one I had was 2, borrowed it from someone at school and they let me keep it. 4th grade it was. I actually beat it


I suck now at all megamans

It's super popular right now.  Hopefully it'll die down with time.

I got the first Mega Man game as a birthday gift and have been in love with the series ever since.  Too bad I tossed all those old boxes =[

Retro-nostalgia. Wait till after the holidaze

the psone reissues are the best way to play rockman 1-6

Local retro stores are generally a rip off and only survive by gouging or piracy.

Four copies of Mega Man 1 sold on eBay recently for $20 - $30. Seems like a good deal to me for an early NES game with a small print run, but just happened to spawn a massively popular series.

Megaman is the hotness right now. He will be in the new smash. a few of his games got canceled. Mighty number 9 is a thing. I think over time it will die down. I just have the megaman collection and X collection for gamecube, and those are just fine for me. Also they have re released a few of them on the 3DS as well

IMHO, Mega Man is the greatest representation of what the NES can do.  So many great color choices, such awesome game play, perfect music which hasn't been beaten till this day.  These games aren't particularly rare, just that people don't get rid of them once they have them.  Your best bet is to purchase the anthology for the OG XBOX that's what I did.

Didn't the GC collection mess with the controls? I've been meaning to pick one of the collections up, either the GC or the PS1 version.

Yes. The GC version switched A and B which made the game unplayable for me.

wrong thread 

[roflmao]

Man, I gave away my last Mega Man game... Maybe I should have held onto it to become an evil reseller! The only one I've kept over the years is Mega Man 2 just so one day I can say I've beaten a MM game.
