Easily my least favorite Mario. The only people that have nostalgia for it are the ones that grew up with it when they were in grade school. Of course, I'm not a fan of Mario 64 either. I felt like the first time Nintendo really got 3D Mario right was Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxlords | 36 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I sold off most of my PS2 stuff. I'm down to the stuff I really wanted to keep and with the price boom, it's hard to hang onto a few. But let's face it, a lot of these titles do NOT have enduring gameplay and graphics these days. There are a few absolute must-haves, but unless you're a completist, the majority of the PS2 library is pretty rough. I'm down to about 100 titles in my collection from close to 200 and I definitely won't keep them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Super Mario Sunshine came out 18 years ago today for anyone interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume it had a higher print than usual for an Atlus game, because it's a gem, it's a system exclusive, and I never seem to see it in the wild so I assume people are holding onto it. Maybe it will rise eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously if anyone has a copy for sale lemme know cuz I haven't ever played it and was really damn looking forward to it but could never get my Gamecube working. Now I have a working one and the FRICKIN GAME won't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be the limited or collector's editions of regular games most likely. If I had to guess anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS2 titles are starting to become slim pickings at my local retro store. It hasn't hit super hard yet but it is very noticeable. Not as bad as GameCube though. Good luck finding a copy of Super Mario Sunshine. A fairly common game that has gone up in value very rapidly. If I could go back just five years and stock up on GameCube games I would. Also, I want to point out, I personally do not collect for the value, or complete collections but for games I want to play. I am not a fan of resellers. no doubt i use to grab ps2 stuff for $1 $.50 all day. yard sale moms now are like ps2? $100. i picked up a 77 slim for $5 a couple years back and just sold it on ebay for $79+$15 ship... ps2 is in its boom.

Koopa64 | 51 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I've enjoyed the PS2 on and off for the past 10 years or so. It took on a whole new life for me with the advent of the Freemcboot card and finding out about the hard drive adapter for the fat PS2 model. It's pretty sweet not having to worry about the disc drive anymore. These days I'm playing horror games like Silent Hill and Haunting Ground.

ALLKAPS | 27 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I'm more than 2/3 of the way to the full set, and I hate that the prices are spiked right now. I had been grabbing a lot of the mid tier games the last few years that I had a hunch would go up (they did) but I didn't grab many of those already expensive/soon to be VERY expensive titles. Plus I used to be able to find all the garbage games for like 50 cents to $1, but now even the filler games I don't find at yardsales and thriftstores like I used to. I'm also currently working on a PS2 catalog spreadsheet, so if anyone else who is doing the same wants to cross reference notes, let me know. Mine covers anything released on PS2: Demos, Variants, box sets, GH....all that fun stuff. Always love to see what stuff people count towards the set (or don't count). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegularGuyGamer | 2,013 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Need for speed underground is an arcade racer that doesn't get the love it deserves. Such an epic racer, especially for the fast and the furious era. It's biggest downfall is the unfair ai, both in other drivers and the traffic that intentionally tried to hit you. But man, do those graphics hold up after 15+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
