They were all released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), one of the titans of nineties console gaming – decades before the Nintendo Switch 2.
So if you had the machine, check your drawers, cupboards, and the loft right now. You might have a fortune just waiting to be flogged.
GAME #1 – Brawl Brothers (£3,718)
One retro game that collectors will fork out for is Brawl Brothers.
This side-scrolling beat 'em up landed in late 1992, but didn't make it to Europe until 1993.
And if you have a sealed copy of the game, it has an estimated value of £3,380, according to video game collectibles tracker PriceCharting.
Better yet, a sealed copy that's been professionally graded could be worth £3,718.
The price is still high for an opened but "complete-in-box" copy of the game, fetching an estimated £1,300.
Sadly the loose cartridge is only valued at £68 – but the box is said to be worth £276, while the manual is reportedly worth £172.
These estimates are based on previous sales of the game, so you could end up receiving higher or lower offers if you decide to flog yours.
And keep in mind that your old games could go up (or down) in value if you hang on to them.
Everything we know so far about the Nintendo Switch 2
Brawl Brothers was notable for being the only SNES game in Europe and the US to have the Japanese version featured on the same cartridge – accessed by entering a cheat code.
GAME #2 – Final Fight 3 (£3,720)
Also worth a pretty penny is Final Fight 3, which – like Brawl Brothers – is a side-scrolling beat 'em up from Capcom.
It came out in December 1995 on the SNES in Japan, before arriving for European gamers in March 1996.
A sealed copy is said to be worth £3,382, but that rises to £3,720 if you get it professionally graded.

The complete (but opened) box is worth £1,301, while an empty box would reportedly fetch £520.
A loose cartridge has an estimated value of £178, while the manual is worth about £89.
The game received average reviews, and its side-scrolling design was scrapped for a 3D format with the sequel: Final Fight Revenge.
GAME #3 – Captain Commando (£4,510)
Third on our list is Captain Commando, a 1991 beat 'em up game, again developed by Capcom.

It's set in the year 2026, where Earth is plagued by Super Criminals – and it's your job as Captain Commando to stop them.
The game was originally created for arcades, but landed on SNES in 1995.
And if you have a sealed copy if the game, it's worth an estimated £4,100 – or £4,510 for a professionally graded version.
Even an opened but complete-in-box copy is worth a whopping £1,577.

And a loose cartridge could fetch about £168.
The title was later released for PlayStation in 1998 – and also featured in the 2018 Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle compilation game.
GAME #4 – Pocky & Rocky 2 (£5,275)
Out-pricing all of these titles is SNES shoot 'em up Pocky & Rocky 2.

It arrived in Japan and the USA in 1994, before landing in Europe in April 1995.
The game landed to very positive reviews, and featured a two-player co-op mode.
If you still have an unopened Pocky & Rocky 2, it's worth an estimated £4,796.
But that'll climb to £5,275 for a professionally graded unit.
Sadly the complete-in-box game is only worth £301, while a loose cartridge is valued at £107.
The box could fetch about £71, and the manual is listed for £74.
Of course, depending on how many copies are available, the eagerness of collectors, and the quality of your game, you could end up getting higher or lower offers from SNES super-fans.
The good news is, if you've got any old Nintendo consoles sitting at home, they might also be worth thousands.

In a sweet moment, Charlotte joined brother George in applauding 11-year-old cancer patient Ambrose Caldecott as he walked on court to perform the coin toss. On Sunday, Kate met with the young lad from south London and praised him for his bravery. She told him: "What a brave boy you've been. Good luck today, we'll be cheering you one." Charlotte - wearing Barbie-pink nails - could also be seen chatting with mum Kate as they both pointed to the court after a ferocious backhand winner from Alcaraz. Tennis-mad Charlotte also appeared at the final last year alongside Kate, which was one of the royal's first public engagements following her cancer diagnosis. Prior to the match today, the family were introduced to a special greeting party near the players' lounge. Kate wore a sleek blue dress with a necklace while William donned a smart double-breasted navy suit, complete with matching tie and pocket square. Prince George was also kitted out in a smart suit and tie for the grand occasion, while Charlotte wore a cute frilly outfit. The family first talked with men's doubles winners Julian Cash and Lewis Glasspool, who became the first all-Brit pair to take the top prize in 89 years on Saturday. Cash, who banked £680,000 with Glasspool for his historic win, was congratulated by both royals. Princess Kate appeared to tell them they had done well to battle the 29C heat as well as their opponents. She said: "Well done... how does it feel? It was so hot." Cash replied: "It was good, but pretty stressful." The royal then introduced the players to George and Charlotte, who were standing by her side. In a hilarious moment, Cash, 28, asked the young prince if he was "any good" at tennis, to which George replied: "I'm alright." As the family then walked towards Centre Court, Charlotte waved to countless fans who poured into the All England Club for the much-anticipated final. The royals were joined by actors John Lithgow and Matthew Mcconaughey in the Royal Box. While Mayor of London Sadiq Khan appeared suited and booted next to his wife Saadiya.

The 2025 Curse of Corrie – how the soap's stars have suffered heartbreaking splits this year
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT is safe to say that 2025 really has not been a great year for the country's longest running soap opera Coronation Street. From budget cuts to episode axes to a major cast cull, the show has found itself in the spotlight for mostly the wrong reasons this year. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 It's been a year of heartbreak for the cast of Corrie Credit: Getty 7 A number of the soap's actresses have split from their partners Credit: Splash 7 It is the latest curse to hit the soap opera this year Credit: Getty - Contributor But it isn't just on-screen where things have been going from bad to worse. Beyond the cobbles, the stars of the show have also been dealing with their own personal heartbreaks. It appears to be the year of off-screen splits for the Weatherfield lot too with many of the show's cast calling it a day with their beloved partners. From sirens of years gone past to current fan favourites on the show, it's been a pretty heartbreaking year for the stars of soap. The Sun takes a look at some of the Corrie's casts shock splits and what drove them to breaking point in their once solid romances. Katie McGlynn 7 Katie McGlynn split from her reality star partner this week Credit: Instagram Sinead Tinker actress Katie McGlynn left her fans stunned when she was revealed to be in a relationship with forgotten The Only Way Is Essex star, Ricky Rayment. This week, it was confirmed that Katie, who started dating former reality star Ricky after meeting on a cruise ship in 2023, had decided to call time on their romance, despite the couple sparking engagement rumours last February. They quietly began to remove traces of each other from their social media before their split was revealed by the MailOnline. One source said: "Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they're still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it's definitely over." They added that they found it "difficult" to maintain a long distance relationship, with Katie in Manchester and Ricky in Essex. Ex-Coronation Street & Strictly star 'headed for divorce' after just two years as she deletes husband from social media Ricky, who was previously engaged to Marnie Simpson, rose to fame on the ITV reality show in 2012 before leaving 10 years ago. Georgia May Foote 7 Georgia May Foote is headed for divorce from her husband Credit: Instagram Another former soap actress who has been facing a heartbreaking battle is Katy Armstrong star Georgia May Foote. The Sun told earlier this week how the actress was headed for divorce with her husband Kris Evans just two years on from their intimate wedding ceremony. Georgia has removed her wedding ring and wiped all traces of the musician who she once called her 'best friend' from her Instagram page — including glossy snaps from their wedding. A source told The Sun: 'Georgia's marriage to Kris seems to be over. 'It's on the rocks. 'She's looking to the future and is surrounded by friends and her family.' Despite the split, the pair are understood to still be living together as they figure out their next steps amid the split. A source admitted that the pair were happy enough to still be living together but Georgia isn't sure that Kris fits into her life moving forward following a devastating fire at her nail salon. The actress opened the salon amid struggles to find acting work and financial hardship. She is now aiming to crowdfund to raise cash in the wake of her split and the business burning down. Georgia Taylor 7 Georgia split from her co-star Charlie after two years together Credit: Instagram At the start of the year, it was revealed that Toyah Battersby actress Georgia Taylor had split from her co-star lover. Whilst on-screen, Toyah enjoyed an on-off marriage with husband, Imran Habeeb, away from screens, actress Georgia was dating her on-screen husband's actor in real life - Charlie de Melo. The 44-year-old had been romancing the soap hunk since late 2022 - just months after Charlie's character was killed off the soap and their pretend marriage crumbled. However, it is thought that the pair quietly called it quits in late 2024 before the news was made public in January of this year. A friend revealed: 'Georgia and Charlie are no longer a couple, but they remain friends who care about each other deeply. 'They have lots of happy memories together, but are both really focused on work at the moment and looking forward to the future, there are no hard feelings.' Charlie's character was killed off in June 2022 when he died of a heart attack, leaving millions of Corrie viewers in tears. Georgia said at the time she was heartbroken by Charlie's decision to leave the ITV show. Speaking in 2022, she said: 'I absolutely adore him. He's been a dream. "He's so funny so we laugh a lot but he is honestly one of the most supportive people I have ever worked with." Shortly after Georgia's gushing comments, they found themselves starting a romance in real life. Tina O'Brien 7 Tina's marriage to Adam is understood to be over Credit: Splash Sarah Platt actress Tina was left nursing her own heartbreak earlier this year when it was revealed she had split from her husband, Adam Crofts. It is understood the pair called it quits at the top of the year following a stressful house move. The 41-year-old soap actress decided it would be better for them to live apart after wishing to spend some time alone. They both quickly ditched their wedding rings and decided to unfollow each other online. However, sources insisted they were "still close" and would remain so for the sake of their son, Beau. Tina and Adam started dating in 2011 before marrying on New Year's Eve in Manchester in 2018.

Darwin Nunez performs tragic Liverpool team-mate Diogo Jota's celebration after scoring in first game since his death
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DARWIN NUNEZ has started Liverpool's pre-season off in style by paying a heart-warming tribute to Diogo Jota. The 26-year-old came off the bench for the second half of the Reds' pre-season friendly at Preston's Deepdale Stadium. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Darwin Nunez paid tribute to Diogo Jota after scoring for Liverpool against Preston Credit: Getty 7 Nunez performed a baby shark celebration Credit: GETTY 7 Nunez then performed his old team-mates celebration in front of the travelling Liverpool supporters Credit: Getty 7 Jota did a baby shark celebration against Ipswich Credit: Getty 7 While his playing games celebration made reference to his love of video games Credit: Getty 7 Cody Gakpo also performed it when he scored Liverpool's third Credit: Reuters Prior to kick-off travelling Liverpool fans had an emotional rendition of the club's anthem, You'll Never Walk Alone, while Preston captain Ben Whiteman laid a wreath alongside the away support. The late Liverpool star Jota was killed in a car crash alongside his brother Andre Silva last month. This match is the club's first game since the tragic incident. And Nunez paid homage to his old team-mate after scoring. The Uruguayan rounded the goalkeeper after picking up a short back pass to make it 2-0. He originally did a baby shark celebration as he ran in front of the visiting fans, used by Jota after scoring in a game against Ipswich. But Nunez then turned around and dropped to the floor. He then replicated Jota's celebration which made reference to his hobby playing video games, by sitting with his legs crossed and pretending to be holding a controller pad. Fifa-lover Jota had used the celebration against Tottenham in 2023, with Nunez copying it in honour of the Portuguese today. The first goal of the game was scored by Conor Bradley in the 33rd minute. Liverpool and Preston pay emotional tribute to Diogo Jota and brother in first game since tragic pair's death Preston's Liam Lindsay pulled one back for the hosts in the 83rd minute. Cody Gakpo restored the two-goal cushion for Arne Slot's side in the 88th minute, and also performed Jota's baby shark celebration. Following the game, the Liverpool faithful continued chanting Jota's song. Other stars have also paid tribute to Jota in their own way, with Raul Jimenez wearing a shirt with his name on to walk out onto the pitch with and then copying his former Wolves team-mates gaming celebration as Mexico won the Gold Cup.
