One time when were walking by a mall street market in Arizona, my dad found someone selling a used Mario 25th anniversary edition Game Boy Micro for really cheap, and I just said “don’t worry I already have a Game Boy Micro!” and we moved on.
Silly me, I should’ve accepted his offer of buying it!
I don't regret not getting any game because life's too short and full of other stuff to do. The closest I come to regret is when the original Xenoblade came out for Wii and was impossible to find, my GameStop had 4 or 5 copies. I only bought the one I needed, even though I could have bought them all and sold the rest for like $200 each. But that would have been a pretty jerky thing to do and I let others who wanted to play have it for MSRP, so I don't really regret it.
Never finished Tropical Freeze. I kept getting pi**ed about how I could never get a collectable in an underwater level (for me, a 100%-ed game is never a complete game). Then, the Switch came along and that was that...
Oh, well. Hopefully the rumours are true so I can have a shot at a clean slate.
I'm not sure I regret buying a game, but I do regret not playing certain games. There are a couple of games I bought like 8 years ago and have never played them. I also only played Excitebots for an hour because my Wii broke the day after I first played it and by the time I had it fixed, I never went back to it.
If I had one, it would be not getting multiple of the base 2DS models back when they were cheap. At one point, I think they were as low as $99. After replacing the battery, I wasn't able to get the back plating completely back in, so the model I do own is now more of an adjustment to play...Before that though, the 2DS was my favorite hardware I owned from Nintendo. It's the most comfortable system to play both DS and 3DS games on.

I regret having never owned Snatcher and/or Dragon Quest IX.
