It seems like folks on NA collected mainly for NES. What do people on VGS go for the most? [poll]

[CT | 91]

NES for me, almost exclusively.

[Gloves | 11,778]

I'm a PS2 man, personally.

[Brickman | 3,986]

I went with not one particular system. I'm trying to go for a few complete retail sets and others I have contemplated (like PS2 & Switch) but I think I will just go for a more curated approach to their libraries.

[a3quit4s | 4,098]

I guess it’s nothing in particular now since I completed NES, SNES, N64, and VB.

NES, SNES, Genesis.

[Hammerfestus | 3,846]

NES.  I had a phase where my main was PSX but it was NES before and after.  

[Tabonga | 2,317]

  The older systems I have I don't really collect for since  I bought them  (and the games) back when they were current - I suspect most people here would cry if they saw the prices I paid versus what stuff goes for now.

I do buy a lot of switch games - including collectors/limited if they have enough goodies that I feel make them worth the extra price.

I don't collect for one system in particular. I mostly buy imported games and games for NES, GameCube, and Switch, but occasionally PS1, PS3, Xbox 360, Game Boy, and Arcade games as well (got a Pac-Man Arcade1Up machine a month or so ago).

Some examples:

I collect for pretty much everything, but chose NES as it accounts for the largest percentage of my collection by a mile.

[Kguillemette | 1,544]

Nothing in paticular, but mostly wii at the moment because it's so cheap to do.

[fcgamer | 4,723]

Famicom 

[JamesRobot | 5,800]

Mainly the Nintendo but I'll be diving into Game Boy and Advance here since I bought a Pocket.

[phart010 | 1,707]

I collect many systems, beginning with NES.

It would be more worth mentioning the systems I don’t collect for:

 
-Turbografx
-Virtual Boy
-Saturn
-Dreamcast
-Xbox
-PS3

[guitarzombie | 924]

Been out of the game for a bit, but was NES.  With a small stash of GB that came later.  Also some GBA but select titles. 

[Dr. Morbis | 2,088]

Man, I was expecting at least a couple of SNES-heads to show up, but wow, the true King of Consoles continues his reign...

[Reed Rothchild | 9,528]

Good and interesting games, regardless of console.  SNES is by far my largest, followed by NES, but I haven't bought anything for either system in many years.

[Splain | 2,569]

I collect other things now that I've completed the Game Boy set. But if I lost one of those games or something, that would be top priority.

You should collect for those systems.

I voted SNES since that's the system I have the most games for, but it's really a mix with NES a close second. Current counts (including imports):

SNES: 361
NES: 341
Genesis: 142
N64: 119
Gamecube: 102
GBA: 68
GB: 57
DS: 40
GBC: 24
3DS: 19
Sega CD: 15

No idea what my library breakdowns are, but it's 100+ on basically every console heavy.  But for the last few years it's been 95% Switch and PS4/PS5.  Partially because I already have a significant number of the titles I want on earlier systems, partially because many of them are cost prohibitive, and partially because the simple reality is I am much more likely to play a remake or remaster of a Raycrisis or Dead Space because I can do it with a wireless chargeable controller, with HDMI, with my nice recliner in front of my 65" TV.  I love my giant CRT in my man cave, but there are certain headaches associated with playing older games, so modern conveniences are nice.  November collecting haul to showcase this:

So I guess my answer depends on the timeframe we're talking about.

everything, send help

[ikk | 560]

Gamecube. Finished the PAL set years ago, then went for the bigboxes and now I'm still picking up cover variants and player's choice editions.

[Friendsfa35 | 35]

 

NES as the main collection,

but i also buy loose Game Boy games that i just want to play

[Rhuno | 107]

I voted NES because I have the most for that. Dreamcast would be a close second.
