Yes, this is it. A japanese outer box, but the actual game is proper north american. It's weird, but this is how they did the north american special edition. If memory serves you had to get it off of NIS America's website.

Little Mermaid wasn't the only title to get a sleeve for its canadian release. I have "That's So Raven: Psychic on the Scene" and "American Dragon Jake Long: Attack of the Dark Dragon". Both also being disney releases, i would hedge my bets on there being a few other such games. I want to say i've seen a spectrobes. In regards to those atlus games listed with box and cd - at the least Radiant Historia received a reprinting that did away with the box and cd. There's also a really neat Atelier Annie collectors edition. It's a big box that's in japanese with some figures and the DS game. The DS game inside was english.

Holy shite, is she also responsible for Fossil Fighters Champions on the DS going up!? She has a vid from last february on it and sure enough the spike was later feb/beginning march.

Hmm, then it was in a slump. I didn't start collecting saturn until the beginning of 2012 and online sales for it were in that $40 range back then and into 2013 before it disappeared online. A local shop had a copy for $40-50 canadian that had some minor wear and i kept passing on it as i was after a mint copy. The shop was quick to re-price it after it spiked and i ended up buying it for over $100 canadian. That was a good price as the game was continuing to rise, but it still felt like a hollow victory. Eitherway, back in 2012-2013 MM8 was cheaper then X4.

Why is MM8 so much more valuable than MMX4? Who knows. There was a time, back around 2012-2013, when MM8 was reasonably available (for a saturn game) and not too expensive, $40 maybe. Meanwhile, X4 already had a bit of value to it at the time, not $100 but more than $40 for sure. Then in later 2013/early 2014, MM8 dried up and when it started to resurface it went to the moon while x4 didn't change at all. After that MM8 became known as a Saturn heavy and once everyone is convinced of that there's no going back i suppose.

rather late reply, but I thought I’d share a bit anyways. I was following this game back then and that reprint turning up was a major reason behind its price sink. It was the Wii’s most pricey base game at the time. Not long after the reprint some new wii collectors started coming onto the scene and helped to move attention away from that and to stuff like the maximum racing games and Mensa.

Bump! Looking for Flink.

I don't remember a retailer exclusive trading card, there was a Sin and Punishment themed Wii Points card given out for preorders. Perhaps that's what you saw?

The most recent auction, Oct 11, ended at $143.81. S https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sonic-1-for-the-Sega-Master-system-RARE-USA-edition-with-UPC-STICKER-Very-rare-/174464484318?hash=item289ee4c3de%3Ag%3Ac3QAAOSwhG5fdpJv&nma=true&si=mwbyHpSejgPO132w%2F9GcXeAeqic%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 BIN sales are higher, but if you hunt for auctions you can get it for cheaper. The same seller above auctioned it and two other sonics for $170ish at the end of august.

Who knows. This might not be a bad time to auction it. The last few CIB Dick Tracy's to auction have doubled in price or more from what the game was selling for earlier this year. It's on the harder to find side of the US SMS set and getting some recognition recently it seems.

$25-30 for Bin, you could probably get it for less if you waited for auctions. The other one you're referring to is the promotional copy and it comes in a sleeve with an orange disc. The expensive version is the longbox version (purple disc). There's currently a few (blue disc) up on ebay including a bin at $25 and an auction with a day and a half left currently at $4. Here's the most recent bin https://www.ebay.com/itm/Virtua-Fighter-Remix-Not-for-Resale-Complete-in-Case-Sega-Saturn/184378830434?hash=item2aedd5ae62:g:ViwAAOSwbJtfH1fI Here's the most recent auction i found https://www.ebay.com/itm/Virtua-Fighter-Remix-For-Sega-Saturn-Complete-NOT-FOR-RESALE/133445345912?epid=4283&hash=item1f11f66278:g:M6EAAOSwbSFe7-1G If you're selling (and don't mind shipping to canada), let me know. I collect mint saturn and don't have this variant (have the longbox).

Oh, some SMS games! Sending you a pm

Illbleed is the best, it's bonkers in the best possible way. It's definitely janky, but I also found that the controls were something you could learn and mostly get used to. I wouldn't blame anyone for finding them (and the combat) to be too off putting though, but i really would recommend giving it some time. If memory serves, Happy Video Game Nerd on youtube (Stop Skeletons From Fighting as his channel is now known as) had a great video on why Illbleed is just lovely. If you appreciate dumb stuff, you should find alot to love in Illbleed. It's legitimately one of my favourite games!

Anyone have a copy? Been on my DS want list for years and years, but as a Canadian shipping costs (or sellers not wanting to ship to me, which is the most common) have made this one tougher to find than it should be. Recently it's not had as much of an online presence either. I figured it might be time to just ask for help

Valkyrie Profile used to be such a mythic game(like suikoden 2 or panzer dragoon saga), it's kinda funny how its been fairly stagnant for so many years. This sellers auction for it looks like it might have really started the price spike. Before it auctions were pretty normal ($140ish) but since this one there have been a few $300 auctions end, and some that are currently running are already at $300. At least from a quick look at things. I looked through a few more of this guys sales, lots of his fighters went stupid too (and often to the same seller). Why did SNK vs Capcom go so high!? $152 for a $35 game, ouch.
