    What Games Do You Give A 10/10?

    in General Collecting Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Skorp

    Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past

    Paper Mario

    Paper Mario TTYD

    Donkey Kong 64

    Super Mario Odyssey

    Added after thinking more:
    Mario Kart Double Dash
    Animal Crossing (how the hell I forgot this)

     

    Instant from my mind and then I stopped, so guess these are all it. I'll edit if I think it over.

    I’m just glad I’m not a full set switch collector. The LRG games alone would make that a massive (expensive) headache. 

    Yeah LRG really makes it pretty insane. That is why I can't stop now since I still have every LRG and started from the beginning...and they know people like me exist so they continue to put out whatever comes to their mind. Just THANKFUL they switched to preorder for almost everything at least. Like when Transistor was out and limited in print, I missed out on that one having to work all day and couldn't get it, then had to track it down later for double price.

    How long is your queue?

    EVERYONE in this thread is posting "rookie" numbers compared to the nuts on Facebook.  There are still several individuals who have been successful at ordering one of everything and one person that I know of who has ordered multiple shipping boxes of games that had pre-orders.  

    Oh hell yes I'm in that group and know what you mean. Some absolute hardcore people that are getting ALL regions and a lot already above the 1k mark of Switch games. That's what keeps me motivated to keep going and not stopping.

    No one scored. The site crashed immediately and would not allow anyone to login to the site. The waiting page you speak of came up about 11:50 after the site crashed. A few people got it into their cart (me included) but then the cart would show empty or said you reached the max allowed. Either AFAIK no one was able to check out. 

    Good to know. Thanks for the info! That means there is a chance still.

    Anyone was able to score a Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition? I've been on the wait page for an hour now. Yes I am timing it lol. Guess I can Kiss my luck goodbye unless they do plan on adding more. Was an hour too late since I was at work and missed opening, but from the looks of it some people said they had sold out page like minutes after released.

Starters are a bit funky, but hey at this point it's really getting hard to be creative lol....but the legendaries. HOLY CRAP they look gorgeous.

    I liked them during my teen years. Got me out of some tough times. I really can't enjoy them anymore now since I am so deep in the heavier stuff, but I still can still tune into some of their songs once in a while. So I did vote 7/10, but looking now I believe it would be more 4/10.

    Anyone remember this NA post?

    Wow, that post was 7 years ago?!?  I thought it was way more recent than that

    Yeah felt the same. Felt like last year or something to be honest, but that's just silly since VGS has been out longer than a year. Time is so weird. I'll need to find that yellow cart of this game I have somewhere...

    Pokemon Dash DS Not For Resale

    Cool! Thanks for the info. So we know 12 pokemon dash NFR exist, which put it on par with some of the rarest ditribution cartridges (I think Euro Arcues has about 9 known, tho surely there are more in a few hoarders collections. Also not sure how many dragonite cartridges exist but they are certainly nearly impossible to find undamaged, and still very uncommon damaged/refurbished. And of course the japanese distribution cart is still 1/1). I'm a little surprised someone bought a niche nfr like this just to resell, but I guess that's the current state of collecting.

    Yeah the Dragonite one is the only one I need undamaged otherwise my US set is complete and undamaged. My Dragonite works, but it is still damaged, which I guess it much, much better than those restored ones that have flooded the market. Trying to have the set fully complete and undamaged/near mint.

    Well dang, I just checked and ebay and didn't realize any more had surfaced besides yours. Quite expensive, but it seems like just one seller. That seller may have more then the 4 we have seen (3 sold and 1 listed) so far. Seller would be smart to not flood the market and make people realize there are a lot out there, if that were the case. I guess I'm going to bide my time on this one, as it is one I do still need, though I don't want to have to justify spending ~700USD on one, or even 140USD or whatever the cheapest sold for.

     

    EDIT: Seller seems to have lots of 5x or 10x of PAL gamecube demo discs, so I bet they found a cache of old promotional games somewhere, probably just a few specific ones that include the dash nfr. Lucky them, but I'm pretty confident in sayign more then the 5 dash nfr we currently know about exist.

    I did have a very good chat with him. He said he was able to get a total of 11 of the dashes in a bundle with the demo discs. They were thrown out and found by someone and he ended up buying it. So it is safe to say he has a couple more after that one so maybe 6 - 7. Hope that helps you decide!

    I also saw that the first buyer for the dash that was around $100 to $150 resold for $700, so that wasn't an extra one, but the same one. That kept confusing me.
