This one set me back a pretty penny. After I posted my original Power Blade playthrough on Youtube about 5 years ago I started looking into the sequel, and I quickly discovered that it was both rare and extremely expensive. I figured I would never be able to get myself a copy of Power Blade 2.
Well, as my Youtube channel started picking up more and more steam, I became more willing to invest in my channel through sometimes expensive game purchases (in addition to satisfying my own appetite for collecting video games). I spotted a complete copy of Power Blade 2 on eBay that was ironically being sold from a shop in the Netherlands, even though it was a U.S. copy of the game. The price was ultimately far less than what other sellers were asking for worse copies. In fact, no other copy on eBay could even come close to this one. I decided to go for it and picked up what is unequivocally the rarest game in my collection now. Not even Castlevania: Dracula X or Castlevania Legends can hold a candle to this game's rarity and resale value.
So not only was I able to repatriate a U.S. copy of a rare game, but I will be posting a full playthrough of the game on my channel once I get around to recording more NES footage.
The box is in good condition overall, but the rest of items are near mint. What a score.
