WTB: US Dynastic Hero
« on: September 02, 2017, 02:33:28 AM »
Hello,

*edit*
I am looking for US Dynastic Hero to complete my Wonder Boy collection, so leaving that message out.
Looking for a price that isn't too crazy!

(In addition to cash I'd be happy to have a trade involving involving PS4 physical copies of 2017 Dragon's Trap if that something desirable for you, I directed that game and will have spare copies).

The one on eBay are either fake/repro either 4-digit priced. Is that the price norm for this game? (If so, I am never going to buy it. waiting for a more decent offer).

We are unable to release the game physical for XB1 because the minimum ordering quantity are way too high for the market we have, and XB1 is the platform where the game sold the least amount of copies making it unlikely to sell them at all.

Bock - Just curious, was a physical version of the remake ever discussed for Switch?  Do they have the same high number of minimum orders?  I would've loved to have seen one.

Regarding the game you are looking for, it seems like you are not a collectard and genuinely don't know about the price it goes for now. I picked mine up almost a decade ago and it was already too expensive, now it's just absurd.  Unless you get exceptionally lucky, a cheap price is gonna be tough.

We are working on it but it is taking forever and the manufacturing pipeline are full / hard to squeeze in.

Can't talk about quantity/details but our game on Switch sold much much better than XB1 (maybe x20) so physical Switch is an obvious thing to chase, however complex/costly it is

Argh :(
Do you know how much it typically fetches when auctionned? (vs arbitrary Buy It Now price)

Dynastic Hero is so rare that it almost doesn't ever show up.  Most ebay auctions, it seems like, aren't about actually selling the game but more for throwing the game out there with a ridiculously high price that it would most likely never sell for.  If it sells?  Great.  If it doesn't?  Oh well..  I honestly cannot recall what the last real auction sold for. 

With all that said?  Around 3 years ago a copy for BIN $150 showed up on ebay.  The seller price matched for a listing that was literally for just the manual.  The lucky buyer made a thread on here about how he was going for it and hopefully wasn't scammed and sure enough, he got a real copy. 

Some good news though?  You can buy the Japanese version for between $20 and $30 and there is no region protection on Turbo CD/PC Engine CD games so you can play it wherever.
Current want list:  Bomberman 93

There is gaijin protection though, although you can get past it with trial and error if you can't recognize anything or don't have a guide.

You could also play through on a cdr copy before deciding what the game is worth to you.

No - I run smspower.org and I am the developer of the Dragon's Trap remake.

Ever since it was released, Dynastic Hero has been one of the two legitimately rarest Turbo games that used to only show up for sale online maybe once a year. Meanwhile, Magical Chase was always available regularly.

It's one of those collectibles that you're lucky to have a chance to buy, which is unfortunately why the price and supply is now controlled by flippers

The status of Dynastic Hero NA is old news, but it's still depressing.

:(

Just wanted to say I loved The Dragon's Trap remake.  Played through it on Switch and loved every minute of it.  Amazing remake!
