I’ve seen your set on Reddit. Definitely up there, but I’d have to say Ibrahim (on here) has the most complete set I know of. He might be able to steer you in the right direction for some pieces you’re missing. 

Right! I have seen some astonishing pieces here as well, I had no clue so it was very cool to see what else I need to look out for!

I made this exact same trade! But bought it back in 2017 for $95...On the bright side, we don't have to shell out the $175+ that it is going for now 

Yes! Its really quite shocking how much its gone up. I am not letting go this time around haha

I also forgot the NES Classic Edition GBA releases of which we got 10 and Japan(FC) got like 20 if not more(I forget.)  I had the NES GBA games, didn't care, it had the hot saves and it was portable, still do have SMB, Castlevania and Zelda 1 of those.

Word! I feel that, backlit 101 GBA with one of these classics and I'm set!

SWEET. I am further from my goal than I anticipated! I'm working on completing a set.  Thank you @ThePhleo for sharing your pics!!

It's something I very rarely have done over the years and well Nintendo.  SUPer Mario Allstars on SNES, then the latter Advance set of 4 games but that's mobile while a SNES/NES certainly are not so easier rationalized (same with FF games on GBA, Ghosts n Goblins+1942 on GBC, Zelda LTTP, etc.)

I've not really directly double dipped on stuff beyond that unless the game was radically different.  I own Gradius 2 on Famicom, but I also have the stellar PCE CD version which is like arcade on the nose, same with the original Gradius too.  Parodius I have a few ports of, they differ but not so much between FC, GB, PCE.

 

That's about as far as I take it really, unless it's a ridiculous easy to get super cheap made to be lazy port like say Neo Turf Masters or a Metal Slug game on my MVS vs my mobile phone.

Right that was a big pickle for me is seeing NES coming out on various platforms during that time. How about releases for the NES Classic and Switch NESflix with the online membership??

Nice I can see how the same game changes names with console or region. Take a look Super Mario 2 back then. Very cool Jam tho, I'm just starting to get into shmups

Just have a look at my For Sale list for a peek into the insanity of trying to acquire a full NES set. No human should suffer the the indignity of owning 6 copies of Silent Service. For shame.

Big Oof.

For the curious lol

I’m more of a triple dipper (kind of). 

- Bought Final Fantasy VII when the Greatest Hits version was available. Sold these at different points.

- Bought Final Fantasy VII when Nintendo had the digital version on sale.

- Bought a NFR copy of Final Fantasy VII Remake on eBay. Debating if I should sell it.

- Bought a Walmart copy of Final Fantasy VII Remake on eBay. Got rid of it and gave up on eBay (again, which sucks in a way).

- Bought a Japanese copy of Final Fantasy VII Remake on CDJapan. I plan to have this copy graded.

I am also planning to double dip on Astral Chain. The digital version is on my list. Plus I am debating about multi-console releases of any games I do own.

And finally, since I gave up on eBay the chance of me double dipping for potential upgrades are gone.

Oh yeah, guilty as charged on this one haha confirmed Dipper over here!! Lol

You say you gave up on eBay, whats the deal.on that just not the quality of the items you were seeking?? Thanks for sharing

I should disclose that I am also a sealed collector for the Switch which adds to this bad habit lol

If you count variants, then I'm very guilty of this: 6 different label variations of Space Invaders on the Atari 2600, for example.  Throw in cross-platform duplicates and I'm really out of control.  Also, as a result of buying out 3 different used game or game rental stores, I tend to have buttloads of identical, common games (ex: 54 copies of Daytona USA for the Saturn).

Yup this post is for people like us! Variants I give a light pass cause I mean c'mon different varities even slight or minimal are cool. 

Ah then the duplicates that come just from being active like you said. Maybe thats where I got so many CoD games from!!

Dude, I think I've bought FF VII for at least 3x platforms, and there are others.  My worst "offender" though is Myst.  I loved it as a kid and I think it's the best point-and-click game of all time.  It's my goal to own a copy for every device they (Cyan) physically published it for because, IMHO, it's the linux of games.  If it can be ran on a system, they will port it to it and sell it.

I think that may have a happened a lot in the FF Franchise lol. Ooo post it!! I'd love to see all the different platforms you have it on. 

The CoD: Black Ops or Modern Warfare franchise, I.had like 3x copies for each system and had no idea where they were spawning from.

I have the worst habit of double dipping or even TRIPLE dipping on some games. The Switch made it very apparent when I bought a lot of LRG games digitally..then the ones I liked I bought standard...and LE..

...

I found this happens as I upgrade the condition of certain games too. I've bought CIB sets to get a better box or manual only to forget I even bought a second copy all together. Months later I'm wondering why I have two CIB Secret of Manas and a loose one on its way.

Anyhow, any other Double/Triple dippers out there??

**COLLECTION OF FRANCISES, VARIATIONS, OR DIFFERENT PLATFORMS I DON'T BELIEVE COUNT** A Great example is Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild from the Zelda Francise. Also Flashback. 

I still think about this:

2008 Me: Sold Path of Radiance to a local game store for the 14.99 instore credit.

2016 Me: Buys Path of Radiance CIB for $85

:((

Here is my contribution!

The scorecard for the Starfox Weekend competition cart. Aside from possibly having the most complete set from that weekend event (I'm missing the yellow event workers vest and I think an event workers pin) I'd likely never have one of these cards in my possession again if I let it go.

Honorable mention: First Print BOTW Amiibos without the Switch on the back label, imagining letting those go can't imagine them coming back easy. 

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

For Apex I'm very unfamiliar with X-Platforming, I've seen my brothers squad up on FN pretty easy which I'm pretty jelous of tbh.

Some track records:

- Destiny- 550 Hrs

- Splatoon- 950 hrs

- Apex- ~350 hrs

- Fornite- ~150 hrs 

My favorite game to speedrun is Pikmin, very familiar game and I aim for less than 30 hrs, same with any Pkmn Fire, Blue, Yellow or any iteration therof of the Kanto Region.

Again thanks for the welcome all :))

Thank you!

Hello and Good evening everyone!

It is really exciting to find this forum and community!! 

I'm mostly playing a lot of BRs (Apex, Fortnite, Warzones, PUBG) on a PS4 Slim [GT: joeyfateH8]. Catch me on my New Horizons Island or inking it up in Splatoon when I'm on my Switch [FC: 8155-0225-0240].

My main focus in 2020 is exploring the homebrew scene and unlicensed games for the NES. I've added a good amount of titles this year but plan on continuing forth as the year progresses.

I'm a pretty active user, so I'm sure many of you will see me around the forum. You may recognize me from Reddit as I was pretty active there the past few years. 

Say whats up if we have traded before, and I look forward to getting to know new People/Sages!!
