I think TotK is the superior game, but I rather BotW. It's sorta like Banjo 1 & 2. The improvements are there, but the game is too expansive and complicated to its detriment. New game is ginormous, with travel and exploration though the time consuming building ruins it (in my opinion) as you have to stop playing to do it. 

Oh shoot, can check that other thread. Appreciate the replies.

Hey sages,

I am looking at updating my tenant insurance and the ins. company told me I need official appraisals on my collectibles. Can a local business like an LGS provide an appraisal? I can't seem to find any home ones who offer it as a service. Thanks.

My local game store TND Games just started doing social media recently. They are my goto place to sell as they are local, fair and cool in general. Anyway, their first on location pickup video was at my apartment. Just thought I'd share and get them some views. Pretty nuts to see how my collection has evolved.

Got this beauty. Had no idea when I purchased it that the guy had installed pinstadium and pinsound, as well as mirror blades and several other smaler things. Super happy. The toy in this machine is amazing.

I been waiting wks on some playfield protectors.. which apparently I had in my cart but didn't buy. 

@Sumez ya, but I don't own a PGM . Thought I was nearing being done with arcade machine purchases when I got my Atomiswave. Apparently not >_>.

So apparently I purchased a Demon Front cartridge last night.

Anyone else purchase things when their sobriety means they probably shouldn't be on their phone?

Legitimately been looking for years for one.

Love it. Hwoarang was my dude as well. 

@cj_robot thanks! Thought it was the J version though don't own it.

Maybe SMB3 being no save was just a cost cutting measure and not a great old school feature to be praised, and that it would've been better with it, just like all the platformers that came right after it.

 

 

I could be mistaken, but I thought Nintendo themselves' have acknowledged this. Didn't they apologize in the game manual?

The fact they added it to All-Stars, in my opinion, sorta shows they think that the game should.

@phart010 why would I want to jump past levels? I want to play them and use use the lives and items that I earned exploring.

9. The no save is this game's only real issue.

Just think, it hasn't hit the Switch yet either with those numbers.

Disclaimer: I only played it when it was new. I recall enjoying it though, and was so happy they went third person shooter. Really wish the new Prime allowed the option to switch.

Which is the 1st title you like to recommend to people when they want a 'hidden gem'?

Don't do a huge list, just name one. Any console.

Mine is generally KickMaster. To this day, I don't know whether there is a space in the title or not. Great game. 

@fox darn right, was going to post Guardian Heroes as well. That game rocks

I think Treasure was amazing when games didn't need teams of hundreds to be dev'd. They're a small company, and they have done pretty incredible work.

Playing Metroid and was reminded that Samus' ball was because they couldn't get her to crawl or it was easier. The morph ball is iconic.

Pretty sure Mega Man being blue was due to the NES colours as well, right?

Can you name other ones?

Console would be Shadows of the Empire. I had played Mario 64 like 5 mins but wasn't as enthralled with it at the time as I was later on/remain.

@Tulpa that IGN article mentions a version in China that'd play N64 and SNES games. Was that a thing or was it the eventual Game Boy Player instead?

On the one hand, it 'only' sold 32.9m units. The PS1 outsold it 3-1. It also had a smaller library. It did outdo the Saturn though.

On the other hand, its biggest games were giant sellers, critically well received and set the standard in their genres. They also started some seriously important franchises such as Smash, Paper Mario and Animal Crossing.

Just wondering what people think. There are certainly other arguments to be made with either choice as well.

@fcgamersorta shocked you don't have PGM!

I have an MVS, an ST-V and an Atomiswave. Atomis I don't have a cabinet though  . They totally count as arcade collecting in my opinion. Show us your cool things!
