Armored Core 6 hype has driven up prices for the old games by 300% and retro sellers are making a mint
From🏅Software's new fans ෴are expanding their libraries

Armored Core 6 has a whole new generation of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware fans eager to become mech af🗹icion🔯ados, and judging by the prices old entries in the series are now commanding on eBay, it seems they're going to retro games to get their fix.
Take the original for example. This game had been a bit pricey for years, commanding sales around the $80 mark as of late 2022. After the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new entry in the series was r✃evealed in December, those prices skyrocketed, and by January reached a staggering average of over $ဣ220. Prices have settled down a bit - you can probably grab a coꦏpy for 'only' $130 at this point - but it's clear that the AC6 hype is real.
what the fuck happened to the physical price of armored core games lmao, I am not after a physical copy of any of these any🐲way but ♚this is so insane to me pic.twitter.com/EyE95B5rc0
I've been trying to think of a similar case of a new series entry so clearly and dramatically raising the prices of its retro counterparts, and even as I browse PriceCharting for old Zelda, Resident Evil 4, and Dead Space listings it's looking like nothing quite matches what we're seeing with Armored Core. The one other example I've come up with is , which had a big price spike as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring fever took hold. FromSoftware fans are clearly a different bre෴ed.
If you're looking to play old Armored Core games without resorting to piracy, shelling out for retro hardware and software is pretty much your only option. You can grab AC1 for $6 digitally on the PS3, but that's a retro console in itself at this point. Similarly, some PSP ports of other AC games are available on Vita🐓.
If you do decide to revisit the old games, just remember: you don't actually have to use 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the Armored Core controller grip.
There are plenty of sequels among the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games for 2023 if you want an excuse to build out your retro collection.
