@RH i don't think they do but the Billy is pretty sturdy! Maybe look on Wayfair. I got my coffee table from there which is real wood.

@SoleGoose They are pretty nice! @Quaze was the one who jumped on the Billy scene first and then he literally came down and set up my gameroom Billy's. I liked them so much i set up 5 1/2 more in the living room for movies and things. Nice to have so much shelf space! 

Haha hell yeah, was a great weekend! We'll have another one with a little less sweaty man work and a few more brews this weekend! All in all those Billy shelves turned out awesome!

I looked over your list and it's pretty much as you said -  I think you're just missing a couple from last week, the 4 LABO games, and a couple of the oddballs like the 2nd release of Harvest Moon Light of Hope (complete edition) and the new Sonic Mania (without the plus).  There's a little bit of clusterf•ck with the release dates as not all the big chains have been consistent (like Remothered, Harvest Moon: Mad Dash, Wargroove, etc.) - probably will even out by the end of the year when the releases slow down.  

My list is by release date and follows very closely to the master list on the reddit Switch Collector group (with no pegi/asia releases).  General consensus there is to only add Limited Run games when they actually start shipping (and use the Ship date as the release date). 

oh, here's my switch stuff.

 

I went through the reddit list (thank you for the link by the way) and I found a about 3-4 that I missed from the past 2 weeks. So from what I've found there are 446 physical releases so far as of today (ESRB). This includes:

• any LRG games that have/are open for preorder but may not have shipped yet (I personally don't give them a release date because I don't trust LRG reporting)
• 2 versions of Rocket League. Reddit has one listing with a variant. But I count them as 2 because they have unique box codes/barcodes
• 2 versions of Sonic Mania/Plus same reason as above
• Only 1 version of Harvest Moon Light of Hope as they have the same box code/barcode
•  Does Not include the Labo as it seems most don't consider them a game including Nintendo themselves if I remember right

So again that link was great I always read the reddit on my phone and never saw their list. I'll be using it to compare my list to from now on.

I think you have to count the Labo games. They have cartridges and are actually playable

Yeah, they can be slow to update sometimes, but the list very accurate.

On the Nintendo Switch Discord, it's pretty easy to get an accurate ship date as the "I got my notification for .... " message, will appear several times through the day lol.  If you like I can give you mine.

I agree with you on Rocket League and Sonic Mania.  Both should be counted as two/seperate (I did the same with my list).

Harvest Moon Light Special Edition and Special Edition Complete have different cart codes (and product codes) and the Complete edition has more content on the cart. Harvest Moon Light of Hope Special Edition HAC P AD6QA/LA-H-AD6QA-USA vs. Complete Edition HAC P AD6QE / LA-H-AD6QE-USA - edit:  also, for clarity the name of the standard edition is "Special Edition" (not talking about a limited edition) and they later updated it to "Special Edition Complete"

If someone is considering a full set of Switch games, and don't get the Labo Kits, they won't have a full set.  

Also, I noticed you listed both Trine 4: Nightmare Prince and Trine 4 Ultimate Edition - tho the cover is different, the actual cart (and cart code on the game) is exactly the same.  The only difference is a download code and the cover.  In this way, it's more of a variant.

Holy crap that's a lot of games to look through lol. Thanks for the list!! What are your top 5-10 switch games?

[drxandy | 3,225]

Ok, just curious for those who collect physical full sets specifically because the Sonic mania thing. (Not asking as this has been a trend on other console topics here, but just genuinely interested)

If a release is a code for a download of the game with a toy or collectable,is it part of the full set?

Sonic mania collectors edition (the statue and stuff with code but no physical game) > Sonic mania plus (oversized shiny cardboard sleeve, artbook, and physical game)  > Sonic mania (nothing! You just get the cart!)

Are the last two the only ones that matter?

 

that really cute sans plush has me tempted to crack and double dip on undertale

[Reed Rothchild | 9,520]

Working on updating OPs between writing and playing.

@LeatherRebel5150 Also has everything in google docs, which I will be incorporating or using at some point to make this smoother.

I think to much is put into the not physical because it has a code debate. I collect good switch games with zero intentions on opening most because I can’t get them cheaper digitally. 

[MasonSushi | 16]

Like assholes everybody has an opinion. Mine is, for it to count it has to actually have the game in physical form in the case to count for a set. Selling me artwork, case, stuffed animal and a piece of paper doesn't make it a game. Its like saying you have to collect those prepaid game cards they sell at stores for them to count for the complete set.........

Edited November 6, 2019 by MasonSushi

[drxandy | 3,225]

I kinda figured I'd see the line drawn in the sand. I think it would be an interesting subset collection.

[Fleck586 | 300]

Maybe you can count them towards your complete IB collection, since there's no C.  LOL!  In all honesty, that's why I personally draw the line with those titles not counting.

Maybe that’s why I don’t care since I have no desire to have tons of filler games just to say I got the complete set. I plan to get the hollow knight/ undertale plushies.

This is how i always viewed it. I'm not a full set collector but wouldn't count a game without an actual cart. I personally add them to my overall count when keeping track of my own Switch games but thats just me.

I must've clicked on two of the same Harvest Noon listings on ebay when checking the info last night.  But you were right they are definitely different. I can't count Labo I just don't have it in me. They're more like accessories to me

How is that any different from Sega putting out the giant Sonic Mania bundle though and why would one count over the other? Its still just an empty case with a dlc code. Its cool to have but i would think it would be added to the little subset of Switch games that came with a dlc code instead of a cart and not a full Switch set.

I find that hilarious. My kids love the fishing Labo game. You are seriously the first person I've seen challenge Labo counting. The code games I totally get both sides, but I just don't get the argument against Labo. Official 1st party release with a physical cartridge. It doesn't count because it's kitschy? 

[D~Funk | 284]

Labo definitely counts!

[D~Funk | 284]

Just went through and figured out what Switch games i have ordered still  its pretty ridiculous! Everything is pretty much paid for too except for the Amazon games which is good cuz im at a point where i need to chill it on ordering stuff. Only planning on grabbing 1 more Limited Run game this month which i can't pass up and thats the Blasphemous Collectors Edition.

[scaryice | 585]

It doesn't look like there's going to be any great deals on a Switch this Black Friday (games are another story, though). May have to bite the bullet and pick one up at full price...

I mean that’s the switch sonic mania I’d want. I don’t see it as a big deal plus death squared didn’t have the required 1000 copies printed. Only 500 Australian and 150 esrb. It just does so much more for me that the game was released by developers sucks they couldn’t do a cart but they are small time. I got one of their auctions so I’m also happy to say they donated all my money to planting trees much better then a cart in my mind:p
