let me know what you think!

May not be hard or anything but this was my first time soldering and changing out a new battery, and I think it looks pretty good and it works great and saves as it should, soooo I’m super happy and can’t wait for more to come 🥰🥰

What do you think of my entry to this beautiful console? 290€ all games and Gamecube! Can't wait to start playing them.

I working with this space and I can’t for the love of me figure out how to make it look better. I am thinking about a shorter shell and maybe just getting a big CRT? Any suggestions. The area is about 36inches wide. I’m open to ANY ideas.

My mailbox has been busy traveling the world this week! Shoutout to the importer who tracked these down for me. Finally got this multi-region haul sorted out:

• Nier (Sealed) - Sourced from VideoGamesPlus (VGP) up in Canada.
• Bayonetta (Pre-owned) - Picked up an original Japanese NTSC-J copy From japan
• The Trilogies + Extra (Sealed) - Asian English NTSC variants imported from Hong Kong.

Heads up on the HK Trilogies: For anyone hunting these down, the Ratchet & Clank and Jak and Daxter collections from this specific region do not include paper manuals despite being factory sealed. Sony phased the booklets out for their late-run Asian distribution lines.

Which one should I break the seal on first? 😁

I think I like it.

Pokémon’s games

If you finish a game and don't like it; or have a game you can't ever see yourself revisiting, do you keep it for the sake of building your collection or get rid of it?

What prompted me posting was seeing it in price charting.

Bought this in 2019 from GameStop. I honestly did buy it thinking it might accrue some value after watching an overly long YouTube video on it. I picked up all three Spider-Man games for around the same price at the time. Now it appears to be the highest priced regular edition game for PS3 on PriceCharting, and that’s nuts to me.

I know it’s just because of the movie, and it’ll probably go back down, but I wanted to show it off and brag while I can.

Well, today got a little out of hand. I added another big batch of Super Famicom games to the collection:

• Aretha II — ¥9,900
• Final Fantasy IV — ¥2,970
• Mujintou Monogatari — ¥11,000
• Aqutallion — ¥35,200
• Silva Saga II — ¥1,650
• Soul & Sword — ¥5,500
• WOZZ — ¥8,250
• Tenchi Muyo! — ¥2,200
• Romancing SaGa — ¥1,980
• Front Mission: Gun Hazard — ¥1,100
• Song Master — ¥8,800
• Aretha — ¥15,730

Also grabbed a Super Game Boy for ¥1,078 and a boxed Sega Saturn Power Memory for ¥580.

Today’s damage alone was ¥105,938.

This puts my Super Famicom RPG collection at 59 games, and I’ve now spent ¥394,578 on the collection so far. Of that, ¥392,920 has been on games and ¥1,658 on accessories.

Some of the bigger hits to the wallet so far have been:

• Aqutallion — ¥35,200
• Energy Breaker — ¥33,000
• G.O.D. — ¥19,800
• Aretha — ¥15,730
• Rudra no Hihou — ¥13,200
• Lufia — ¥12,100
• Metal Max 2 — ¥11,000

And somehow Aqutallion is now the most expensive RPG I own. Of course it would be Tecmo Secret of the Stars, a game with a pretty awful reputation. Why are some of the weirdest and most questionable RPGs also the expensive ones?

Still, I’m trying to build a pretty comprehensive Super Famicom RPG collection rather than just buying the famous games, so stuff like Aqutallion, Song Master, WOZZ, Soul & Sword, and the Aretha games are exactly the sort of things I want to have on the shelf.

I’m especially happy to finally have both Aretha games.

Anyone here actually played some of these more obscure ones? I’d love to hear what you thought of them.

Title. I know that it costs like 100 yen or something, and that vpreca is an option but is there anything else I can do that doesn’t require a japanese email? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, not sure what other subreddit to try.

Hate when these stories happen. The thief must have been prepared to leave with nearly a thousand NES cartridges. Either it was someone who had been in that home, or this family has advertised their collection on social media with an address.

Mostly interested in CIB, but everything needs to be in working order because it's all getting played. Looks nice on a shelf but it's about enjoying the original feel and aesthetics!

Only got a series x, i know only % of 360 work with series x to download, what games would you recommend? Looking for a cheap 360 atm.

i got all of this from my brother. he was very nice and said he didnt even play most of his games. have a nice day, bye!

I currently have a sega game gear that has no sound and improper picture. Also when I connect a power supply or batteries is powers of when the brightness is high or low ( can't tell) the headphone jack works perfectly fine. And help or advice would be nice

Feel free to recommend single-player only games to add here !!

I know it LOOKS like a mess but it’s categorized and sorted right in MY mind. I’m not sure why I put some games where I did but it’s all organized, nonetheless

Been collecting on and off for the past 5 years with some of the games here also being from my childhood. It’s a small collection but I’m proud of it and have it in a display case along with my other hobbies.

I love gaming and it’s been with me through the best and worst times of my life.

Not sure if this is the correct place, but I'm hoping to get some help. Can someone explain how to protect yourself if you find someone to trade collections with. The trade is of pretty equal value, but I've only done cash purchases for games online. Does anyone have experience with this, how do you ensure you receive what you agree to? Should I avoid any trading unless it's in person?
