At least we have an R 18 rating now. I got sick of importing my games from NZ to get around our stupid "ban everything, think of the kiddies!" attitude.
@Willsy
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.
I really don't like Battle Royales with cheese.
I'm sure this will be good though seeing as Panic Button seem to work some sort of witchcraft in regards to porting stuff to Switch.
Anyway, glad others are excited.
More games are more games even if I have as much interest in them as licking a used handkerchief.
😜
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
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..
Hopefully this leads to more games since Nintendo themselves have been slacking off recently. More output other than Mario would be nice. A new IP would be awesome.

Thankfully I can still play this on my Switch.

Yawn.
I really don't like Battle Royales with cheese.
I'm sure this will be good though seeing as Panic Button seem to work some sort of witchcraft in regards to porting stuff to Switch.

Glad to see it is coming though.

Can't wait for the sequel.

Re: Yes, Bowser's Fury Really Is Its Own Standalone Mode In Super Mario 3D World On Switch
Forget Bowser's Fury, try mine when I realise I paid full price for the Switch version for what could have been DLC on my Wii U copy.
I'm kidding, I will wait as my Wii U still gets used regularly and I have too many other games I need to catch up on.
