A collector is selling all of the 721 Super Nintendo games ever released in the States, Mexico and Canada for $24,999.

The seller, Byuu, took to Reddit to explain that all the games come in their original boxes, while about 85% of the titles still have their manuals. Additionally, every game has apparently been tested with Byuu vouching that, "They all work perfectly."

Byuu explained that he originally assembled the set over a period of three years in order to "obtain scans and clean verified dumps for every game," which he has now successfully done. He plans to use all of the money from selling the collection to buy complete European and Japanese sets.

In the listing on eBay, Byuu has listed all of the games that are available, as well as rated the individual game based on its condition. The price is apparently negotiable and Byuu will consider offers made outside of the auction site, too.

Let me get my checkbook.

HyperCubed4 · (12-10-2012, 08:01 PM)

Even Earthbound?

Nibel · (12-10-2012, 08:01 PM)

I want to be fucking rich

FUCK I need this, GROAAAAAHHHH

Toki767 · (12-10-2012, 08:02 PM)

They aren't even sealed.

Would buy if I were rich.

kaioshade · (12-10-2012, 08:02 PM)

I guess he did take it to eBay. He was saying on his site how he did not want to do that. But that is still a lot of money to ask for the set. Hopefully he can find a buyer, i admire what he is doing to ensure clean sets.

Interfectum · (12-10-2012, 08:02 PM)

I see Killer Instinct in there! :)

LonelyGreyWolf · (12-10-2012, 08:02 PM)

Well, that's around 34,67 dollars per game, right? Pretty pricey for some of the games.

tiggerkiddo · (12-10-2012, 08:03 PM)

Most of those games aren't worth jack (Even CIB)...but if he thought about parting them up, I would take Harvest Moon and Chrono Trigger off his hands...

ffdgh · (12-10-2012, 08:03 PM)

Whats the black One? I faintly remember it from somewhere.

Callo Merlose · (12-10-2012, 08:03 PM)

If Maximum Carnage is there, he got the normal copy. Would not buy.

Takao · (12-10-2012, 08:04 PM)

I wonder if he's selling at a loss, or making some coin off of that price?

shagg_187 · (12-10-2012, 08:04 PM)

Around $35 a game, seem like he's just breaking even. I'm not sure though.

That's Killer Instinct

schwabdizzle · (12-10-2012, 08:05 PM)

Not worth it unless they were sealed copies.

same with doom

Corky · (12-10-2012, 08:05 PM)

Byuu? As in Bsnes Byuu?

Heavy · (12-10-2012, 08:05 PM)

The picture with the cartridges shows only 230. Article says 721?

Anoregon · (12-10-2012, 08:05 PM)

It's awesome how Killer Instinct sticks out in the bottom pic.

Pretty cheap for others.

Sir_Crocodile · (12-10-2012, 08:06 PM)

Hope someone buys it, he deserves to get his cash back after all the hard work he's done

Yes, he bought them for another project he's working on

jooey · (12-10-2012, 08:06 PM)

so BSNES is complete?!!? yes i'm kidding

Why would you do that? · (12-10-2012, 08:06 PM)

From byuu, who makes the very famous bsnes emulator. (It's being renamed though, since it can emulate many systems now.)

edit: beaten. He wrote about this a while ago on his blog, though.

Didn't really want to post all the pics, there's a lot of them.

Ok now I understand why he wanted clean/verified dumps

ponpo · (12-10-2012, 08:08 PM)

Wiki says there are 1442 Japanese releases. That's quite a bit more.

Wonder how many of them are mahjong.

Why would you do that? · 08:12 PM

No, bsnes only wants headerless dumps, and the reason is because the header is useless, IIRC. It's just wasted space.

edit: I probably misunderstood the post. lol. I missed the part where byuu himself was creating the clean, verified dumps.

Danthrax · (12-10-2012, 08:09 PM)

$20,000 of that is for Earthbound alone.

Bgamer90 · (12-10-2012, 08:10 PM)

Wow.

Ah cool beans, I remember reading something about this preservation project a while ago.

krae_man · (12-10-2012, 08:12 PM)

At least he's taking the smart route and going Buy it now. If he did an auction, he'd get bombarded with fake bids.

Isn't it like, 500 bucks? Earthbound isn't that much.

Just seeing that Earthbound box gives me chills. Ooooohhhh man.

ThanksVision · (12-10-2012, 08:12 PM)

I've always wanted to own the "essential" games from each system, or at least for the systems that I had growing up.

He did state that a dozen or so of the games in the list easily cover up the price of the lot if sold individually.

Who knows. Is there a list of the exact worth somewhere?

Oh I wonder what games those would be?

Celine · (12-10-2012, 08:14 PM)

Call me when there are all the Super Famicom games.

A Pretty Panda · (12-10-2012, 08:14 PM)

Does it come with the Mario Paint mouse?

Alchemy · (12-10-2012, 08:16 PM)

If this guy covers my rent this month I'm in. Having a savings is overrated anyways.

MrBS · (12-10-2012, 08:16 PM)

I guess byuu has an answer for this question then.

Corky · (12-10-2012, 08:18 PM)

Ok seriously, someone needs to link me to an article or video that explains why Earthbound is talked about in such a way by people on GAF... makes it sound as if it was an orgasm in cartridge form.

KojiKnight · (12-10-2012, 08:19 PM)

The price is worth it for his efforts alone... I mean bsnes is crazy the efforts he spent. He actually had people dissect chips (applying acid to break it apart a layer at a time, and then having hi-res x-ray scans done on the inner workings) costing him thousands of dollars of his own money. Not to mention the thousands of hours he likely put into everything.

I have the red copy :)

I give it 2 days and it will be sold.

Fixed that for you.

It is totally an orgasm in cartridge form.

Second photo doesn't show all 721 carts.

You need this? I mean, there are a lot of really shitty SNES games. Why not just cherry pick the good ones and save some dough?

shagg_187 · (12-10-2012, 08:22 PM)

Average price of SNES collection (without CIB) is $7,583, as per pricecharting. Not sure if these guys are like VGCharttzz but yeah, they have a pricing.

http://blog.pricecharting.com/2011/1...ideo-game.html

With box and complete packaging, the price can and will double or triple.

Aeana · (12-10-2012, 08:22 PM)

He should give a discount for making the purchaser take Secret of the Stars.
