Last time my wife (then girlfriend) got me a game, it was for a system I don't collect. I think it was pac-man or pole position for Intellivision. After that, she swore she'd never buy me video games again, and for the past 14 years she has stuck to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife got me Age of Camality because she knows that I 1) like Zelda games and 2) don't have it. I mean it's not rocket science lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son wanted to get me Age of Calamity, but I already got it for him since I'm an adult and have money. I flip and trade games into Gamestop so often she's given up on tracking what I have/want.

DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) I don't receive many presents these days, but I very loudly tell everyone not to buy me game-related items because no one could possibly keep track of what I buy/own/want. So I totally identify with what you guys are talking about. Edited December 27, 2020 by DoctorEncore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that game is strictly limited. Fairy Tail is standard retail from a pretty major publisher that has done reprints in the past. There’s no good reason to FOMO into this now!

RegularGuyGamer | 2,011 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Ring fit is #7 on Amazon top 10 best seller list for 2020. Pretty crazy since it was hyped up to be so scarce.

It will either get bought up by regular people or by scalpers, either way it will become scarce again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if scalpers selling it over MSRP factors into the rankings. I bet it does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo doesn’t have their supply chain problems anymore. They are done moving factories and adjusting to COVID. They can keep reprinting Ring Fit if they want to.

TDIRunner | 2,725 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 My kids both got Bluetooth headphones for Christmas, but since they won't work directly with the Switch, does anyone have a specific brand Bluetooth adapter that they like for their Switch? Do you guys prefer the adapters that plug into the headphone jack or the USB-C jack? I'm hoping for something small, so it can be stored in their Switch case when not using it. I've looked at several on Amazon and I see a few that I like, but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,930 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I got clothes, a little candy, a lame (not an insult, but intentionally so) joke book, a cool NASA rocket fuel coffee mug, and that's really about it so practical but depressing. Glad I treated myself instead ahead of time with Gameboy. But then LRG decided to get their act together too. Blaster Master Zero 1+2 showed up about a week ago (with Panzer Dragoon a couple before that), a couple hours ago Grandia HD collection showed up as well. I decided to treat myself seeing some after holiday sales. Nabbed Fenyx for 50% off ($30) and Civilization 6 for 66% off ($10) so I really can't complain other than being overwhelmed with options.
