If there's one word that sums up what millennials today love the most, it's nostalgia. Collectively, we as a generation, love to revisit our childhoods — especially when it comes to TV, movies, fashion, and yes, video games.
From NES to N64 to Playstation and Atari, we could spend hours (or days) playing game after game. For those of us who held on to our collections but find them gathering dust due to busy schedules or lack of interest, you could be in for a sweet surprise. That's because there are rare gems hidden in these collections that could be worth some serious money now. While your beat-up, coverless copy of Super Mario 64 may not be worth anything more than the memories, you'd be surprised what is.
These are the consoles and video games worth money now.
Vintage video games worth $20-$100
Video game consoles worth $100+
10. Nintendo NES
Just thinking of the original Nintendo game system brings us right back to our millennial childhoods — and clearly we're not alone. For those who are willing to part with their Nintendo NES systems (especially if they are in pristine condition and come complete with all wires, controllers, and even the iconic Orange & Gray "gun"), you could make $119.
11. Nintendo 64
If you're hanging on to your Nintendo 64 and not using it, now is the time to sell. A gently used (but still working) version with all wires and 4 remotes could fetch as much as $199.95!
Mom of two Dorothy M., told Mom.com her husband keeps his entire vintage video game collection (including his original NES and N64) in their two-bedroom apartment. "If it were up to me, I'd sell it all to clear out space for our girls and make a little money," she said. "But they are his most prized possessions so I know it's not happening. He loves them too much!"
12. Nintendo GameCube in Indigo Purple
She's fun, she's stylish, she's just a little bit different. The Nintendo GameCube in Indigo Purple was released in 2001 and could now be worth a whopping $199.97.
