@Retrosys9 ай бұрын
The Switch is pretty much the only console I actively still collect for. It’s a perfect hybrid for retro and modern gaming, and I’ve reached a point in my retro collecting where I just want to downsize. I don’t have much left for most consoles anymore except my complete Atari 7800 collection, TG16/CD collection which is nearly complete, and my original GameBoy Collection which is approaching 150 games. Those are the 3 I owned growing up, so it’s fitting that those are what remain. Switch gives me something new and exciting while also giving me great retro remasters/remakes, and ports to allow me to downsize my other collections.

You guys have such an awesome collection! Haven't decided whether I want to collect physically for the Switch or not. The carts have such a short shelf-life and the prices for physical, especially LimitedRun stuff is getting so high that I don't think it's worth it anymore. Very cool to see such a broad collection though. Also I would definitely recommend playing the original Panzer Dragoon over the remake. They really bungled it in my opinion. Cheers.

I've spent so much money on physical Switch games this year! There was some bangin' deals over Thanksgiving, including Pocky and Rocky for $12 on Amazon. It's so much fun collecting for the console and retro has taken a back seat for a bit. It's easy to double dip on some of the indie games to own physical copies. I hope Nintendo has a card slot on their next console for backwards compatibility...thanks for showing the goods, fellas!

I know it is nobody's business but I thought it would be cool if you did a video like that and maybe it will educate people who want to build a collection and how to start. Not everyone makes income from KZfaq/Google and there are people out there who have regular jobs. I know KZfaq is a regular job to most KZfaqrs but I see that as a side hustle job.

I have 8 digital and 29 physical games. I have all of the Zeldas physically in at least the standard version, including spin offs. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is my most played game. I'm the kind of collector who opens up things at least once, so I played all of my games at least on Switch. I have always loved Nintendo, but the Switch is a perfect console for me. Back when they did two platforms, I find myself buying the same games. I buy the Zeldas, the Mario Karts, the Metriods, and all the games I like on both, but more often than not, there' not a way to go back and forth for these games. Now with Switch, I just buy one game and I'm good. I can take it with me wherever and when I get home, I can play the same exact game on a bigger screen. Let's hope Nintendo just doesn't mess things up with their next system.

I really wish I could be excited about anything Switch. I'm just not. It doesn't do anything new really and I'm not interested in the mobility. However, I see it like the Dreamcast, which I adore. I do want all the retro stuff, especially if I can get them cheap once Switch 2 hits. It's like eating leftovers,. Nothing wrong with it, but not my first pick. It doesn't help that to me it is similar to the 3DS. If everyone else loves it; great. I think I can probably clean up with about 40-50 retro style games.
