I really think its the price.
If I go to a pawn shop, NES games are less than $5. SNES are generally $5 to $10, and N64 are $10 and up. Gaming stores seem to have a similar mentality. So most people (I think) are still waiting for the price to go down. I'm referring to complete-set collectors, as opposed to "collect only the ones I want to play" collectors.

Just my opinion. I pick up N64 if they are cheap, but I am not pursuing it very diligently.

First i picked up the ones i wanted to play.
Then i started to collect for a complete set (PAL)

And yes,i play them too. I just liked the idea that this set could be completed cib. (nes and snes are near impossible PAL)

There are about 250+ pal games.
And the market isn't destroyed by cash$$
If you wanted to collect for a complete nes set you would have to spend $500 + for a couple of games each.

I already have the rarest n64 pal game snowboardkids 2 and it costed me 200+ euro. (near mint)
Al the other rare games can be picked up for 50 tops.
Thats what i like about n64 collecting its steal fun and cheap.

Apr 2009 at 00:00 I too am a very big fan of the N64 which is why I have set out to (someday) create the most complete N64 list, though it only includes actual production runs, demos and prototype carts will be featured on seperate pages.... http://nw.64scener.com/n64releaselist.php

Hi guys!

I'm new here, and a big big big fan of lovely N64 Cheesy

I found your site while searching some info about existing prototypes of unreleased N64 games.

I live in Belgium, I'm 27yo, I started playing in 1989 on the NES, and I've been collecting video games for 8 years now!

My favorite console is, of course, the N64, and I completed the PAL fullset last year (242 games, including 3 Australia-only releases)

And, considering what I had to pay for some of them and people who bid, there IS a community of N64 collectors Wink

They're just hiding themselves...

Beside that, I own some language variations, nearly 50 US, 100 japanese, and a Hong-Kong version of SM64.

I'm now in the quest of a worldwide all-variations fullset (more than 1300 games listed on my website at the moment : http://www.nintendo64ever.com/All-Nintendo-64-Games.html), and putting my hands on some protos and NFR games, to keep me busy several years ^^

I'm not a board-spammer, but even if you don't see me posting everyday everywhere, be sure I'll come very often to read posts and articles Wink

Oct 2011 at 19:49 It's awesome to see that N64 collecting is on the rise, I just wish I had completed my collection before prices started to reach the stars and above... I have roughly 400 carts now, a mix of European, American and Japanese. Still missing Doshin 2 for the DD, argh!
