Digimon World

[Rydon]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this topic but I don't really see anywhere else it could go.
So I was browsing around on the gamestop app, and noticed that Digimon World was one of the higher priced games for PS1 they had available in stock. I was a little surprised to see this as I have a sealed copy in my collection I picked up at Goodwill for cheap. Then I checked ebay completed auctions and it will go for a decent bit of cash sometimes.
So my question is, does anyone have any info on this game? Was it a low print run, or are there a lot of people that really like Digimon and this was one of the best representations of the TV show(s)? I appreciate any info you guys can give me, as I was not aware this was a "higher" priced game.

All the digimon games are collectible. Digimon fans like me dig 'em. Not that Digimon World for PS1 is a masterpiece or anything; it just is what it is. We digimon fans have been surprisingly loyal to a hit-or-miss franchise. Go figure.

Interesting. I think that is my dilemma on selling the game. I wouldn't mind some money to put back in the game fund, but I didn't want to part with the game if it was some kind of masterpiece as I like to explore outside my "comfort" zone with different games. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

Yeah those PS1 Digimon games are pricey these days.

As far as the original PlayStation Digimon games go, I've heard this one is supposed to be extremely great:

By "extremely great", I mean that people who enjoy Digimon games say it's a fantastic game. Non-Digimon fans mileage may vary.

I spent some time with Digimon World 4 on Xbox years ago. I was doing it local co-op. I thought it was OK, but the game got really grindy really fast. If I'd been a big Digimon fan though, I might have been more lenient about that.

Cool, good to know more on the subject. I think I am going to sell the sealed copy. My first thought is to just post it on here (at the B/S/T) and see what someone is willing to offer. I am not a miser so I am not expecting to set some world record for sale price, and if it is someone who is going to appreciate the game I would rather that than some reseller off eBay grab it from me and try and turn a profit. I figured someone on here is my best bet for anyone willing to enjoy it, as I am not really a member on any other websites. Thanks again for all the information.

Most sealed games from that era will go for a bit of cash these days no matter if they were good or not. Saw one, graded for >1000 euro. Not sure there are people willing to pay those prices for a sealed copy.

This is exactly correct. Digimon World 3 is the best Digimon game I have ever played. If you're not a digimon fan, it's a better-than-average jrpg.

I don't put too much stock in "graded" video games.

Me neither, it artificially inflates the price based on the quality of the shrink wrap, but sometimes thats all you find looking for a sealed copy of a game.
