  1. Thanks for the info. I remember the box looked kind of jacked up when I opened it (I wasn't paying close attention though), so I'm starting to think the seller tried something shady.
  2. Well they were advertised as new on ebay, and yes, it was a new set of joycons. Maybe the seller tried to pass off a set of old ones as being new, but the packaging all looked right.
  3. My right stick to drift, so I bought a new pair and the left joycon STILL drifts. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a problem with the Switch itself or did I just buy defective joycons?
  4. NES - platformers SNES - platformers Genesis - SHMUPS N64 - platformers PS1 - I guess it excelled most at RPGs, but I still firmly believe that the PC had better RPGs than any console at any given time. I wanted to vote beat 'em ups for one of these because that's my favorite genre to play on SNES and Genesis, but I don't think they really excelled at those games. I think I just enjoy the genre.
  5. I'm surprised how many people assume that the rule restricting WATA employees from getting personal games graded is being followed. If I had to guess, this is a bigger issue than a guy who just has census data to work with.
  6. Brigandine: Legend of Runersia is beaten. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It was a bit too easy, but I played it on normal. I'm guessing it would be better on hard.
  7. Agreed. In fact, King of Dragons is my single favorite SNES game!
  8. It looks like the algorithm is still screwed up. I checked out the value of a loose Xbox360 disc of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge. It says $27.15, but out of the last 15 sales only one sale (around the middle of the timeline of the last 15) was above this amount at $29.99. Everything else was lower, and the most recent sale was only for $9.99. The average of the last 15 is $18.16. I'm guessing this is happening across the board, but I just happened to notice it with this game. Last 15 loose sales and average price: $9.50 $24.99 $20.00 $26.99 $19.95 $21.50 $9.95 $29.95 $25.00 $12.99 $12.99 $20.22 $14.93 $16.49 $7.00 Average: $18.16 Pic of the value according to GVN: [img]https://i.imgur.com/9ZHuioa.png[/img] Edit: Not sure why imgur pic isn't displaying, but feel free to use the url: https://imgur.com/9ZHuioa
  9. I only have a list of the 5 limited run games I own that aren't on the site. I'm sure there are many more, and this list might not be helpful since you still have to go through the whole catalog of releases, but here they are. All Switch games: Blazing Chrome Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia Dark Devotion The Messenger Limited Edition (Special Reserve Games) Timespinner
  10. Is GVN supposed to have games from LRG and other similar companies? I see a lot are missing.
  11. This is the "cute" box art I was thinking of. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6yGTlYZ.jpg[/img]
  12. I came across this on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Mario-Bros-VGA-90-1985-Famicom-Nintendo-NES-Mega-Rare-True-First-Print/114385567064 It got me thinking about whether there is a way to determine the first print of Super Mario Bros. on Famicom. We have all seen the hype train of the NES print being (Matte sticker) but I was wondering if anyone had thought about this for Famicom. I don't collect for the system, but I'm think this auction is not the first print release, and probably not for a release prior to the NES Matte sticker one. I have also seen some copies with different box art in the past - it seems more uncommon and the picture is in more of a "cute style". Anyway, does anyone know how to identify the first print of this game? I would be cool to keep an eye out for the true first release.
  13. Bought a $90 game and it was shipped super fast and packaged well.
  14. I don't remember! Don't remember what I sold it for either, but I know it was very little.
  15. Interesting first purchase - I wish I had kept collecting NES games! I was ahead of the curve in 2001, but sold this game and most of the rest I had collected. I started up again in 2013. I actually started using ebay earlier but had that account banned for selling virtual items in Everquest.
  16. Yes, I played both at release. I played a LOT of Daggerfall and still revisit it to this day. The Dagerfall world is huge, and the freedom of what you are able to do is far greater than any other TES game.
  17. It's low on myranking of Elder Scrolls main series games: 1. Daggerfall 2. Morrowind 3. Oblivion 4. Skyrim 5. Arena I could even make the case that Arena is better, but I give Skyrim a slight edge. So I rank it " Meh. There's plenty of better alternatives to this" which is 4/10.
  18. Definitely Stadium Events so I can complete my NTSC licensed set.
  19. Run fillers are basically dead in comic collecting right now. It's all about owning (investing in) first appearances or other major keys. It's also very common for comic book collectors to own multiples of books they think are good investments. For example, there are plenty of collectors that own 20+ copied of Hulk 181, and that mentality is being applied to game collecting. It's pretty stupid because it's manufactured rarity - there are plenty of copies in existence, but the investors are holding them. It's a house of cards, and I'm surprised it has lasted this long. Of course there are also comics that are truly rare, but those are a different story.
  20. Children of Morta is beaten. It was a very good roguelike action game. I loved the art style and narration style of the story. I still think Dead Cells is the best roguelike on Switch, but it's also my single favorite Switch game of any genre.
  21. I know a lot of people here are friends with Deniz from NA days. I never knew the guy, but he sure seems like a giant douchebag now. I remember his sappy post on NA about his deep love for collecting video games and how his life wasn't complete without it. It was all part of the long con to build rapport while he was founding WATA. I submitted two games to WATA and they both took 6 months to be graded instead of the 15 day turnaround I paid for. Meanwhile, he was still meeting same-day turnaround for people who paid for it. I sent over 10 emails, which were all completely ignored. What a garbage company.
  22. There were plenty of black box games that were never sticker sealed, and some that only had a glossy sticker but never a matte. WATA has a chart of all black box games and how to differentiate between the print runs. I'm not sure where to find it on their website, but I remember when they shared it on NA.
