Jigsaw puzzle variant of Zack & Wiki for $25 https://www.ebay.com/itm/304951631498?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=r3ZVvgtFSIW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=_w4Ja4vNRs-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Incredible. All is forgiven.

Saved this from going in the trash at Costco!

I haven't posted in a while! Haven't been collecting aggressively but some cool things have come through. Please excuse the bad lighting on some of these. Sing 4 is an interesting one, it's not rare, but I haven't seen a brand new microphone bundle with the contest sticker before. That Rocker Power PC game was like $0.25 at the library. Still not worth it, but I couldn't just let it sit there (it's been sitting there for months). I still don't have a copy of Metroid Prime Remastered, but I have the My Nintendo reward. Finally got the Harvest Moon GB registration card to make mine CIB (I don't know what happened to my original card, I usually was very good at holding onto those). Also picked up another of one of my favorite variants, the Crafting Mama iron-on jewels variant. And another sealed button variant of Ninja Town, and another jigsaw puzzle variant of Zack & Wiki. GBC homebrew! And something to read

I'm looking at various shmups on PlayAsia and trying to decide what to buy. Are these all going to be Japan exclusives? Batsugun Zero Fire Telenet Shooting Collection (is this one worth it?) Although, maybe I should just buy the Raystrom x Raycrisis release in North America and stick with that!

I've been too busy with work to even check if I have these games, sorry

I'm assuming this is an iPhone pic? iPhone stores the rotation settings separately from the original JPG so there's no quality loss when you rotate it. If you crop the image slightly, then it will re-save it with the correct orientation. So you should crop before uploading to fix it.

I hope it's one Switch title with a compilation of all the Jurassic Park games and not like, one game on a cartridge and it's like 5 Switch releases in total.

Retrobit is not involved in Trip World. This is Limited Run doing it all in-house like they did for Shantae, Spanky’s Quest, Metal Masters, etc. They are working with Sunsoft and it sounds like LRG has an internal team making the changes to the original ROM to add color and so on.

Any chance any of these get western releases???

Today I learned something new about how messages work on here... Anyway, sent you a brand new fresh piping hot pm

I have not had to wait long for Premium Edition Games releases. I'm located in the USA for reference.

It feels like 50/50, for as many games that require zero updates, there seems to be just as many that have day-1 updates or are multiple updates behind the current patch

Depends on who you ask but my count was 165. So yep.

It's not the DS library, come on

This was $40. Don’t know if that was a good price!

Update on the Ninja Town Button variant:

Two eBay hunts: 1. Zack & Wiki lenticular puzzle variant. Now I have 1 sealed and 2 CIB of this. Still no idea where these came from. $15.99 2. Sealed Ninja Town pin button variant. $31.98. Now I have 2 sealed and 1 CIB of this variant. Still no idea where it came from, I've had some people say it might have been Circuit City or somewhere else, I thought I had gotten my original copy from EB Games but I don't really remember. To date I have not seen anyone else with this particular variant! As luck would have it I also cannot find my other copies... they are somewhere in my house. But I do have a picture of them: Note that each one has a different button. There were a bunch of buttons made and to this day they can still be purchased from the Ninja Town website here: https://www.ninjatown.com/smallmerch/ You can even see in the example photo a button that is identical to the one on the left in my picture above! The buttons used for this variant were probably randomly selected and so it's probably impossible to track down all the different styles that were used. It's possible that each surviving copy has a different button, who knows!

This was from before they started doing open orders. Their standard releases used to be limited.

Did we forget about Dispatch games already lol? Absolutely. A lot of these games only sold out because people were speculating on them. Now that these are no longer "investments," or I should say, easy flips, people aren't rushing to buy them anymore.

Found these for sale at the library. $1 and $0.50. Now I have two of the Let’s Find Pokémon!

$40 eBay find. Had no idea this variant existed. Turns out there’s two more LPS bundles like this one… the hunt continues!

Two hunts to share! 1. Paid $27.19 for this via eBay. Toys R Us exclusive Toy Story 3 Lithograph bundle. Comes in a cardboard box with the game and lithograph. 2. This just arrived in the mail today. Not a "deal" but it was quite the long hunt: I found this on eBay a loooong time ago. I found it through a Google Search and added it to my cart (it was only $12.50! The final piece I needed to make my original copy of Harvest Moon GB complete!) but the seller was on vacation so I couldn't check out. I messaged the seller and never heard back. Not wanting to give up, I just kept it in my cart. For months. And months. And months. I have no way of looking up when I actually added it to my cart, but the listing was last updated in November of 2021. I'm pretty sure I added it to my cart almost a year ago. I remember thinking "wow this is a long vacation... is this seller never going to come back?" Finally, last week, I was buying some other stuff on eBay and I see that I can actually check out with this registration card. The seller was no longer on vacation. What??? Really??? It's true. I was able to check out, got the shipping update, and in just a few days the registration card was in my hand. Sometimes the wait is worth it I guess!
