    Man, Resident Evil was my favorite series until they went first person. I hate first person. No idea why they had to do that.
    My son has a couple of the remakes, but I haven’t gotten around to playing them yet. Are they a huge improvement over the originals?

    Read this...boy that's a tough call. I'd almost say they're equal. Both of them have excellent endings and the stories are so tight. I remember when GoW first came out, thinking "nice, a pure hack n slash game." I realized very quickly the manufacturers included SO much back story, emotion, etc, that made the game fantastic.

    If GoW:R is even 1/2 the game GoW was, I'll be pleased. :)

    On a side note...any Switch owners? I have to admit that as much as I like my PS5, Switch has a *TON* of strategy and RPG games (both current and previous gens), which is sort of my thing.

    Good luck! This is one of those IPs that people value more than gold if you're going for the classics. Although, it does appear you're not going for CIB, so that should make things easier.

    I've been doing the same except for the NA consoles in new condition. I'm worried about their next release due to the current state of affairs and scalpers. I completely missed the Halo console, so I'm already pissed about that.

    I've since added the OoT 2DS and Hylian Shield new 2DSXL and have the 35th Anniversary G&W version on preorder.

    Here's an old photo I took a long while back:
    [​IMG]

    Edit: Bugging me that I didn't have any photos of the two I said I added. Besides, don't want internet strangers to think I was lying, lol.

    Damn, that's awesome! I love that Shield 2DS. I almost had one a year or so ago, guy was selling it cheap. I reached out wanting to buy it, then I guess he looked online and saw that it was worth a lot more. So he pulled the listing and re-posted it at almost double the price.

    But yeah, I just want all the different games, but not have to be CIB. I'll keep my eyes open for those and good deals and might pick some up, but it's not a have to have, yet... haha. I've gotten a few more in and some on the way so I need to update my photo. But it's crazy how much these are right now.

    OH, and I almost had the new Halo Series X. I was about to preorder on microsoft but I delayed and debated if I really needed it since I already have a Series X. Waited too long and then they where gone. Now I'm kicking myself for not getting it. But my current Series X just sits there and I dont even have online access with it since I dont play it. Been playing the PS5 a lot more and have online.

    Oh, man. I feel for you there. I had a similar situation where I had a potential of an Earthbound NIB for $100 a few years back. The guy was just clearing out his closet and he didn't collect anymore. But, I got shafted as there was another buyer who got there before I did. That one would've been a great one to have. As a consolation prize, and related to your Zelda buys, I did get a sealed Zelda Classic Series from the guy for $100. Which you can see in another older photo I took of my collection in the bottom right:

    [​IMG]

    I was pretty happy about the price for a sealed Zelda game that I thought I would do the same as you but I quickly learned that prices were too high for me to pursue, hence why I just stuck with NA consoles. I will say it is one of my favorite IPs to collect for. Some of my favorites being the BotW: Master Sword Edition and the hardcover world of Zelda encyclopedias:

    Yeah, those are all bad ass. I wish I would have been more into it back in the day and picked a lot of this stuff up when it was normally out. I've always been a big gamer, but not really much of a collector. Now I'm trying to go back and re-aquire things I had previously, or collect other things. I picked the wrong time to be doing that, as prices on games have shot through the roof. I'm a little paranoid spending too much and the market coming back down eventually. Although I'm not really collecting to sell later, but just to own, so I guess it is what it is.

    That Wii U is awesome. I've been looking for one of those, but the few I've seen actually affordable are beat to hell. Also really wanting to get that Skyward Sword set with the remote. I got a clean copy of the game, but can't find the remote or the packaging with everything. The Wii U TP is crazy priced too, especially with the ones with the amibos. Then why the Gameboy Color Ages game is not bad, but Seasons is crazy high, ha. Same for Spirit Tracks vs Phantom Hourglass.

    I've been considering getting a Switch, especially now with the announcement of the OLED version. I might cave but it really does depend on the availability market for me to consider it.

    On another note, I'm right there with you on the reason why I want a Switch. I've actually just completed collecting all of the Fire Emblem games, either CIB or new. Those early GB ones were a bitch and a half to swallow buying.

    If you can pick up a Switch, do it. The system is awesome with so many great games. I'm surprised you dont already have one considering your collection/s. I love all the Nintendo IP stuff. My problem with it though is, when I start a game, I have to finish it before moving on to the next one, ha. Currently trying to finish Skyward Sword before Metroid comes out next week.

    After Zelda, I think I may try to pick up all the Mario games. I have a feeling that is going to be a bitch, there are so many!

    I probably should. I'm mainly an Xbox player and I mostly collected for the 7th gen games/systems. When that was over, I sort of lingered into just IPs that I cared about or thought was mostly attainable with my interests.

    Yeah, I'm not even gonna say good luck with Mario. That one's just going to be frustrating, lol.

    As another Tech alum, if you need help or info, let me know. Always willing to help out another Red Raider if I can.

    Where the hell are you all finding your Xbox Series X’s? I was looking for one and finally gave up. I have a Wii U that we haven’t played since buying a Switch. Haven’t really played the Switch that much and I also have the Xbox One X but I haven’t played that in a while either. I was big into Destiny but I finally realized there’s a never-ending grind to it. I do enjoy the hell out of Forza Horizon and we have a steering wheel set up for it - it’d be nice to get the Series X before the new Horizon is released.

    I've bought 2 of them through Best Buy so far. One for me, and one for a buddy with his login, so not scalping or anything. It's really all about patience and persistence. I keep the page up on my browser and refresh it periodically when I finish something I was doing at work. I also pay attention to random video game news online and what people in the "know" are saying. So when I hear/see something, I monitor the website even more. Soon as it pops up, I start clicking away to try to get one.

    So far I've only had luck buying the bundle with the extra controller. Keep click to add to cart and you'll have to wait. Keep trying and eventually it pops into my cart where I can check out. Although I have gone through a couple times getting to my cart, but still not being able to check out.

    I've also bought 2 different PS5's as well, ha.

    There was a huge restock that occurred at Best Buy here recently but unfortunately I had to work. They had the doors open at 7:30 for people to receive a ticket placeholder to purchase one but other than that I avoid scalpers like the plague and you just have to keep your ear out through twitter, tomsguide, or nowinstock, as far as I'm aware.

    Best Buy has had the Series S online a lot more frequently. Not sure if that one is an option for you or not. I'd get the X if I were you, but just so you know.

    I’ve seen the S at Costco in south Austin - definitely want the X. I appreciate everybody’s advice.

    I got mine at target and best buy right when they dropped. Just keep an eye on drops and get in quick. Took probably 20 minutes of refreshing to get them.

    Yeah, X is for sure the one to get. I'm actually trying to get another one for one of my other buddies now. These people must really trust me to give me their BB logins, HA.

    Huge fan of Fire Emblem myself, though I'm not the biggest collector.

    I think one of the things I love the most about the Switch is the fact that you can *actually* get games for it. It used to be that Nintendo counted it a huge controversy if *gasp* some girl showed up in a skimpy swimsuit.

    Now? It's like they said "Ah, f*** it" and just let pretty much anything through.

    I'll likely be trading in my Switch for the OLED version as well - though as you said it all depends on market availability.

    Speaking of Skyward Sword...am I the only one who's sitting here raging @ the fact that you can't simply use one stick to move and another to look around? :rant:

    It was hard as hell for me to get a hold of a PS5; actually got mine last December. Was sitting on Discord for HOURS, etc. I ended up buying it from someone for like $750. I didn't really care, though, as I'd just made about $2K on DogeCoin @ the time and thought "Eh, why the hell not."

    Yeah that sucks and took some getting use to. But what I ended up doing more was just pushing L2 or whatever it is to re-direct the camera behind you. Was easier to just do that all the time.

    I liked their games and definitely liked the first couple of versions that came to the states. Wanna know what eventually got me collecting the series (it's weird, not logical) - I wanted to play my GBA version of The Sacred Stones one and, lo and behold, it was a bootleg that I bought at GameStop loose. I was pissed at myself for falling for it. The label wasn't even official but I had the "got to have it" at that time. So, I did some research and ended up buying them all all, or at least the ones that I was missing.

    Also, good to see Nintendo lightening up on their censors. They were always the prudish of the bunch.

    My first PS5 had a hard drive crash. Made me to a full re-install of the OS. Couple days later it crashed again and then again while doing that re-install, ha. So I was still in the 30 days return window, so I took it back to BB. Got a full refund. Few weeks later I was able to score another one and it's worked great so far.
