a3quit4s | 4,102 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Alright I’m tired of creating topics for random things and the water cooler needs to be resurrected. If this has been done already feel free to delete or catapult me into instant celebrity by pinning it. Ran into our boy Link at Nintendo NYC - he would not give me any details on Tears of the Kingdom! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all other developers/publishers seem to have leaks but not Nintendo. It’s like they send the Yakuza out or some shit to keep things under wrap lol I was actually kind of underwhelmed by Nintendo NYC, I feel like the last time I was there they had a lot more stuff. Like the exclusive apparel is cool. I don’t know what I was expecting but it’s Nintendos like flagship and only US retail store, no?

Did they still have the Game Boy that survived the Gulf War on display? Imo, that was one of the highlights of the store last time I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see the Middle East game boy in it. There was another like jewelry store display with a buttload of amiboos in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaosu | 104 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I remember it being upstairs having it's own display case, but it's been quite a few years since I've been there and I heard they redid the store: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I asked about that on another place online about a month ago, got a picture that was recently taken of it claiming it is still there on the second floor and still demo'ing tetris inside.

It could still be, I was underwhelmed and didn’t really visit all corners of upstairs. It was pretty empty up there towards one side so I didn’t wander over but maybe I just missed it. I did get distracted by the console wall in the middle seeing how many I had lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,102 Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 I saw these cool play choices at an arcade in the Smithtown mall back in November also a neat vs Castlevania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK | 260 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Are you guys talking about that Canadian seller listing tons of them for crazy high prices? I don't see any actual sales yet - he can ask all he wants but that doesn't mean the value is anywhere close to his asking price, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing, if you sort by sold none of that crazy shit is actually selling or people are just taking best offers. @DK I was typing this as you posted lol those two are just nuts haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Just yet another non-collaborative push by enough bad players to try and push their investment property to the next level. I specifically ignore this stuff because of losers like that as it's as depressing and angering as it is just confusing. It's fluff for fluff sake, hardly collectible as it's just modern goods for a niche within a niche market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link | 2,714 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Out of print homebrews and "gems" and "grails" were high when I joined NAge in 2016 Prices have escalated on everything all along the way. And covid exacerbated it across most pop collectibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrobins | 1,727 Moderator · Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 That guy on eBay is ridiculous. And he’s not taking best offers. I offered a high but reasonable offer for an item and he declined saying a different absurd price was the “best he could do”. I’m all for getting more for the games you want to unload, but this is just greedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The guy posting the batshit crazy asks for those repro WC carts isn't the tractor/immediate-Starkeeper-flipper guy, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,725 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Speaking of Starkeeper, I've got one up for grabs. Anyone want to protect their investment and purchase mine for a crazy price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of very few games of its kind that I'd actually love to own, but there's just no way with recent prices I'd offer anything close, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
