You're likely close.  Yoshi is stuck on the 3DS, and I think one other was too.  But the rest with 1st party games, and the few odd unique 3rd party titles have moved over to the switch.  The obvious stand out to me that didn't, but is even more widely thrown about as it's on PC etc now is the ZombiU game as it got converted and spread.  Star Fox Zero is the big loss at this rate if I remember right.  That would need some retooling due to the crappily forced touch mechanics into the game, but it could be done if they wished it.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Nintendo Land, and Game & Wario are the other 1st party games that won’t be available anywhere else along with StarFox Zero. I like my Wii U though I was also disappointed with it’s lack of longevity which led me to not being overly zealous to pick up a Switch for a couple years. 

I’ll play along if it’s still open. It’s been a long time since I was part of one of these. 

Anyone else partake in the LRG madness today? After last year’s fiasco of Shantae madness and them actually providing a refund I got Castlevania and a couple of blind box soundtracks. I wasn’t really interested in anything else but missed out on that when they sold it.

Bump, started adding prices

Due to the random nature of these items - no returns or exchanges are accepted, all sales are final. We can not take requests for specific titles because we do not know what is in each blind box.

WARNING: This item is limited to 35 per customer.

I Bought five during the sale thinking okay I’ll get something decent. I also picked up the three available Shantae games. Got the blind boxes today. Two were not LRG numbered games, Holy Potatoes and Death End. The other three were numbered games but all three were the Shantae games I had bought at the same time. That’s right, I now own two copies of Shantae, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, and Shantae: Riskey’s Revenge. Complete waste of nearly $200. 
 

If anyone wants/needs this stuff it’s all available. Willing to trade for pretty much any other titles. 

Picked up the three Shantae Switch games, Sega Arcade Cab, and 5 blind boxes. Spent way too much money but looking at a few additional things. Blind boxes are beginning to sell out, no Switch boxes left.

I have about 6-8 games left and I’m on the lookout for another 20 or so plus Xbox magazine bonus discs. I haven’t played the system in a couple years though. 

New items available and new wants

Bump

I hope we haven’t started yet. Work requirements have kept me away from the site. 
 

Edit: Just watched the fantastic video and realize it starts on the 1st (April Fools Day?) so all good. We’re all doomed! 

Where do we find that at KC?

I’m in if you still have room

Do you want the Jumanji SE?

Perhaps?!?

I got my New Year’s Day sale games today; Turok for the Switch and my mystery box SE PS4 game was Mercenary Kings. That one won’t get opened. If anyone got a Switch SE game they don’t want or need I’d gladly trade. Waiting on a couple of soundtracks now and I’ll likely order Scott Pilgrim. 

Is the Data East Classix Collection any good? It’s half off right now, $10, on the eShop. 

Added an Intec NGC LCD screen and  charger (new), TG-16 TurboStick, DSi box, and N64 Multicart adapter - pics available upon request

I didn’t have any specific goals as I entered 2020 but I obtained a Animal Crossing Switch towards the end of the year and I climbed from 6 GameCube games to over 50 through trade and the purchase of a friends collection after he decided to sell. That spurred me on to getting back in the hunt. I’m mostly going after Nintendo published games or those I really enjoyed from my original GameCube collection. Getting Mario Kart and Paper Mario were highlights as I really enjoy those two games. 

I have no specific goals at this point other then to get a copy of Chibi-Robo. I’m continuing to add to my GameCube collection, reacquiring a pared down collection I had sold off, when I find stuff I want at a good price or through trade. Otherwise it’s just getting games as I come across them for my new Switch console. Why did I wait so long on this system? It’s fantastic.

I just got back from visiting my parents for the holidays, and without oversharing, it was a really stressful Christmas. And today itself was one of my busiest workdays that I had to push through while half of the day was spent on the train.

But now that I’ve eaten for the first time all day and had a chance to breathe, I got so excited to see my SS package waiting for me from @Jmbarnes101 and it made my day.

There’s a few games from my list, some yummy candy, but I really love the adorable artwork from Santa’s daughter, which reminds me a little of Nymn from Tanglewood (but I want to know more about “her characters” please share more!!), and the puzzle game which evokes the church fairs where I got my first games.

I’ve been having a really rough holiday season and this was just really nice to come home to. Thank you Santa 🥲

@Scrobins  
I’m glad these arrived safely and that they helped to bring you some joy this holiday season. I read this to my daughter and she was very pleased and happy to know you enjoyed her artwork. She creates these characters along with ones that are more Wolf and Angler Fish mixes and is crafting a world and backstory behind them. The one you received is so far her first and only video game based one being it was for a gamer. 
 

Here is a Halloween one she did which is a rare full body piece. 

I missed out on almost everything I wanted. I don’t have any of these as I just got my Switch and I was really hoping for a couple of each of the blind boxes, regular and especially CE for the Switch, and failed miserably. I managed to grab Turok (Switch) which I wanted, after Turok 2 sold out in my cart, as well as a collectors edition blind box for the PS4. I’m hoping for a Jax game or Metal Slug 3.

Disappointed but mostly my fault. My older teenage daughter was having a really hard night so I didn’t get much sleep and forgot to set an alarm. 

Absolutely love both Zombie and Linger. I never owned an album but the songs I do know I have always really enjoyed listening to. I’d give them an 8 just for Zombie. 

Bump for a few new adds and wants

Does anyone have a list of the official Nintendo Power Strategy Guides? I want to go back to collecting the GameCube era ones.

Nice! Mario Kart is definitely a good one, one of the best games on the system. Hope you have fun with it!

I have it for the Wii U but not many are playing it there anymore. My kids and I get together with my sister and niece tomorrow so we’ll be playing. I’m excited.
