Besides a few releases, August was a REALLY quiet month… just wait till September comes lol

With some trade credit from the broken controller promotion I couldn’t be happier with this find 🤩🤩

Finishing my Ys modern collection. I got X to pickup tomorrow and VIII is coming at the end of the month. Origins and Felghana are already on my shelf. I hope they remake/remaster all others too. I decided to go for the PS5 versions of the later 3 because VIII and IX come with a soundtrack CD + manual and X is a modern entry that it's either GKC or full on disc so I went with the obvious.

SaGa finally came from PlayAsia. It was 15€!

Lollipop was part of a recent haul. It was 30€ brand new and Monster Hunter Rise was in a used market listing. Was 20 comes with cartridge and all expansions/pre order bonuses. Problem is the extras are all codes. Is there a version of the game with everything on cart?

Hello everybody,

Long time lurker here. Finally decided to post my collection. Bought a switch day one, got into collecting when limited run started doing releases, really kicked it up a notch around 2020. Like many here I like the idea of preserving physical media and having a physical library to browse. I felt quite early into the switches lifespan that it's ecosystem would be the last physical-dominant console system, so I went pretty hard on collecting for it.

I buy games I have an interest in playing, but like many of us here, my free time to play is limited. I've maxed out my shelving and am starting to trim games I've lost desire in playing, which is mostly JRPGS and anime-art based games.

I do plan on continuing to collect and create a walled shelving unit for it all. This will likely wait for the next move.

Hopefully by browsing my collection you'll see some physical releases you missed. I know I love looking through what others post here for the same reason.

Feel free to ask questions. Cheers guys.

*This is 95% of my collection. The other 5% (Mario titles and multiplayer/switch 2 games live by the system)*

Annoying that you can pre order something as soon as it’s announced but a major retailer like Best Buy doesn’t fulfill your order. I saw the Target stock for pre orders way back and should have double dipped and possibly had to return one.

Xenoblade is also my first switch 2 edition that will be replacing my switch 1 copy

I know the simple answer is that it's scarce -- we did a small run -- But there are many games as scarce that aren't priced at $150+, which is what this is at on PriceCharts. And objectively, multiple times the NA version has sold for over $200 in recent history on Ebay.

Also objectively, the game wasn't a smash hit to where the property has tons of notoriety or something. It did well for a solo dev, but again, I have to wonder why the price is so high. Is it the scarcity + people like the cover art or somethin'?

edit: some have claimed that the price isn't what I said -- pay attention to the region (so you want to see ESRB on the box) and condition (sealed) and platform (Switch). If all those things are true, it absolutely can and has sold for over $150, sometimes over $200. And if a lower price was accepted on Ebay you can tell -- long time ebayer here, I know how to check an ebay price

I already got Titan quest on steam, it's just for the collection and i find the cover sick. I abandonned Bayonetta 3 on Switch but i wanted to give it a new chance on Switch 2. Was curious about Trek to Yomi and i found it at a good price. What do you think ?

Most of these I got on release, but a few of them I picked up on sale after waiting for a good deal. I'm lucky to have gotten P3P and P4G on release. I have two copies of the SMTVanilla steelbook because the first one I bought has a cracked outer sleeve and the store was really nice and told me to keep it.

I heard so many bad things about Remnant on Switch but after having hundreds of hours on the ultra quality settings Steam version, I'm still okay with how it runs on Switch2 with handheld boost. A clear downgrade, but by no means unplayable. I actually prefer playing it on SW2 over the Steam Deck for now.

The Persona and Hollow Knight physicals really made me miss a good physical manual, and I'm excited to get the physical Switch 2 versions of Hollow Knight and Silksong in October. What a great pair of Fall / Halloween games.

Overall, I don't want a massive collection and want to keep it highly curated to games I'm always itching to play. I obviously still want to grow the collection, but I'm looking for a shelf sized collection, not a wall.

I originally picked it up for like, 29.99$ when if first came out! I never finished the game, I feel guilty now.

I'm i the only one?
