Could it just be an item purchased from the Nintendo store in NYC? And just to echo everyone else, that's a helluva price!

My only concern is that if the redemption period starts immediately on launch, you will pretty much have to purchase a digital copy to register your copy as fast as possible.

Updated again! 100 platinum points for the grabbing.

I spent many hours with the original Doom as a kid, but Doom 2016 was one of my favorite first playthroughs of any game this generation. That game is a masterpiece.

I guess I should've clarified since there are something like 18 mainline Assassin's Creed games. I'm playing Valhalla right now. It's a great game, but really suffers from bloat. Also the main story is completely off the rails. I hadn't played an AC game since AC II, so I didn't realize how insane they had become.

I agree with Mideast in saying they are very common, but almost never used to scam people, at least when talking about NES and SNES. In my experience, sellers are very up front about repro boxes or at least include the info in the description. I'm not sure if this is because repros are easy to spot once obtained or if there is some small sliver of ethical conduct left in this world. I purchased about 1000 NES & SNES boxes over the past five years and only received unadvertised repros once or twice. One was a copy of FF3 and the other was Rambo for NES, which remains debatable (ink and detail were accurate, but cardboard was white; there are some reports of early Acclaim games with white cardboard, but has never been confirmed).

The PS5 version of Demon's Souls is legitimately awesome. I put in about ten hours, then put it on the back burner to play through AC: Valhalla. You'll love it.

Welcome! Looks like you have quite a collection. Would love to see some pics if you have it on display.

50+ hours into Assassin's Creed. DOES THIS GAME EVER END?

My gut tells me he has become more popular in the West, particularly this year with the release and success of the live action movie, but we would really need some input from a Japanese gamer.

Quite a few songs on your newest album are great, but Blast Radius is a real banger. Everyone should definitely give it a listen.

That thing is sexy!

Thanks! Updated.

I'm over here waiting for someone to sell a CIB copy too...

Same. That's exactly how I would price it.

@Gaia Gensouki @Jeevan @Gloves Maybe instead of completing the same sets over and over again, we should have a rolling process with maybe two or three active at once. When NES finishes, add Genesis. When N64 finishes, add PS1. I could get on board with that. More options for everyone.

He was referring to the Capcom blue border cart. Regardless, I'd put the price at several hundred dollars, at a minimum.

They look great! Now you just need to build that poor child a proper bed!

Welcome! Gotta love that NES CIB collecting!

Gave this one a listen this morning. The guitar work is great, but I can't get into straight up metal unless there is some kind of melodic breakdown or chorus. If they added another singer who could go back and forth with the main guy, this band would probably join my regular rotation.

I can't justify the space investment of arcade cabinets, even these 3/4 size ones, but I love seeing other people's setups. I'm also digging the Tempest and Pac-Man artwork. I especially like how the Tempest art continues down on to the riser.

Except in extraordinarily rare circumstances, I live by the "read it once then send it on" mantra for books, but damn that is a nice looking library!

That's great! I really enjoyed the album you released earlier this year, so I'll definitely be streaming.

Yeah, I figured they would be making more considering the way things are labeled on site and the aforementioned gifs. Thanks for the confirmation. Interestingly, I have seen Nt Mini Noirs on eBay recently for close to MSRP (some prices as low as $575). If scalpers are having to sell that low, then perhaps Analogue actually did a good job of meeting demand on that launch. Preorders were available for about a week before selling out. The Super Nt should be easier to manufacture, so hopefully it will be even more plentiful.

Yeah, I also considered something like that. I'll also look into acrylic stands for the one awkwardly large shelf in the middle. It might be cool to have some little items displayed above the boxes. That would probably require some LED strips as well, but I don't know if I want to be that fancy. I will update the thread if do that though.
