Re: Soapbox: Retro Nintendo Games Cost Too Much, But Nostalgia Is Expensive

Thanks man.
It has taken me about 8 years to get them all.
I bought Starcraft about 6 years ago for $90 Australian.
Bargain.
I bought most of the rarest ones first before they went up luckily.

The halfway mark is a good place to be, I wish you luck getting the rest.
Prices fluctuate all the time.
Half of the time being at the right place at the right time helps.

Ii am a collector.
I buy and keep all my games.
I store them safely away from everything and have them all well protected.
I have a full Pal Australian N64 collection complete in their boxes with manuals etc, all 243 that were released here.
I recently sold off some of my PS1, PS2 and Original Xbox collection for a very nice profit
I look after every game I own and all of them are like new.
I play every game I own........ eventually.

Even my consoles are complete in their boxes.
I accumulated heaps of spare N64 boxes, manuals etc which I sell to fund my hobby.
I buy copies that have mint boxes but no manuals or mint manuals with rubbish boxes and make mint copies out of them then sell my spares.
It has worked for me and my collection is nearly all mint by collecting like this.

Here's a few pictures of my cabinets.

I love the old boxart.

All my old consoles still work and some of them have had a tough life but they keep on keeping on.

Unlike my Switch which was broken brand new straight out of the box, yes, my brand new console needed fixing from day one.
I didn't have it for 8 weeks while they fixed it, a brand new console.
Ridiculous.
A Switch wouldn't even last a week in that garage

Re: Feature: Best Wii U Games

I own every game on that list and more.
I have over 80+ physical games on that awesome console.
It has more original games than Switch and to those who say " it had 50 game to rank? you missed out on a lot of great games that were better on the Wii U thanks to gameplay improvements like Splinter Cell Blacklist, Deus Ex, Mass Effect 3, NFS Most Wanted, Rayman Legends, Tekken Tag and both Batman games.
So many great uses of the second screen that improved the experience.

Even Mario Maker and Splatoon play better on the Wii U thanks to the second screen so much so that I haven't touched MM2 or Splatoon 2 since I bought them as they feel like a step backwards imo..
