an old video rental place for 2 bucks a piece paid for a chunk of my snes uncommons  

Batman & Robin, Zero kamikaze , etc. in the middle of sticksville arkansas sitting in a video rental converted to a convenience store. I got a tip off they were there in a facebook group and was there next morning at open lol. Oh they were all boxed too.  

I still don't have Kamikaze. Makes me sad too because I've had it slip through my fingers multiple times when negotiations broke down. I still have a long time before I need to do a deeper dive into it for my writing (spoiler alert) but I might just bite the bullet next Christmas and hit a BIN for it

You could have gotten it if you won the SNES Fantasy Football League. MMX3 and Zero were the 1st place prize package
 

Geez that last page, another busty anime Senran Kagura game, no wonder. I had to look it up because of how the A's are written. Pinball mixed with boob jiggling action using flippers. I can only imagine the cross marketing appeal on that one.

There's a gameplay run of this on youtube, if it wasn't for the skeevy anime girl exploitation it looks like a fairly well made digital pinball table with multiple mini bonus tables to make a run for more points much like the old NEC pinball games on the pc engine.

Picked up "Torna: the Golden Country" earlier this week and finished it this evening after just over 30 hours of total playtime. I had never played a Xenoblade game before, and it took me a while to warm up to the combat, but it eventually grew on me and I enjoyed it. The exploration is good, but the combat still isn't my favorite and I skipped over much of the dialogue for the side quests. I'm still a bit skittish about diving into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 proper, as everyone says the combat system in Torna is better and I'm not looking for another 100+ hour ride at the moment. Thumbs up overall on Torna though.

Now I think I'll give The Escapists 2 a go while waiting for New SMB U Deluxe to come out next week...

Xenoblade 2 is a pretty good game. I put 200+ hours into the game with completing the affinity charts of the blades I was using and completing all the side quest possible. If you would mainline the game I would guess a little over 100 hours though. One main complaint I have with it is the randomness of getting rare blades.

So, what's the deal on RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures for Switch being hard to find/sold out everywhere pretty much with high prices on eBay. The only place I was able to find it in stock is at a few Targets with most being sold out/not available. Was it printed in limited quantities? Actually wanted to play the game so that's my reason for searching it.

I thought it was a Target exclusive

 

Looks like it isn't as according to Nintendo website; Walmart, Gamestop, Target, Best Buy and Amazon should be able to carry it (unless that is just default for each game). I only see a game placement page for Target, Gamestop, and Amazon.
 

Ah, your right I found it listed on Amazon(out of stock also) but nothing listed on Wal Mart or Best Buy. Im sure this will get reprinted, same as Katamari and Bendy. The Publishers have to know theyre leaving money on the table by not reprinting them
 

Pretty excited to get this today!

Includes titles not not released in Japan? I'm confused.🤔

On a separate note, Humble Bundle is now offering Switch games and online subs on their site. Hopefully we can get a Switch bundle sometime like how they've done with PS4 games before.

So how do those bundles work? Buy a bunch of download codes at a steeply-discounted bundle price? Or how's it work?
 

Damn does that kunio game have english subs? I might have to snatch if it does

The English-cover version does, for sure.
 

Yeah, just look for the muti-language Asia/English one. Supposed to have English, haven't popped it in yet though.

So generally there are 3 tiers to a bundle ( $1, ~$8-10, and $15) and depending on what you pay, they send you codes to download the games.

Very trustworthy site. Ive bought more than a dozen from that site and never had an issue
 

So the game defaults to English for the menus probably based on region like I am Setsuna did. Game select menu kinda reminds me of SNES classic with the layout & restore points. Looks like games that were never translated are still in Japanese while stuff like Double Dragon, River City Ransom, ect. are in English. Pretty cool collection regardless but doesn't look like every game is full English.

Awesome. Now I want a copy. Where did you order yours or any suggested sites you trust?

 

Just got around to taking an updated collection pic to see what my collection looks like for going into 2019, and it's changed a lot! Started 2018 with just 13 Switch Games....now I have 88 at the start of 2019 lol I love the Switch so mcuh and can't wait to see what it will look like at the end of the year. I will probably slow down a bit to focus more on playing (especially since I got a ton of games for Christmas and the holidays are finally over, which means much more free time for me!), but I'm sure it will still grow more than I expect it to!

Damn that's a great collection ya got going!

Thanks! I have been focusing most of my collecting on the Switch since I got it, and it really shows lol I'll have a lot of fun playing these for a long time ^_^
 

I snagged one off ebay cuz i missed it on play asia. :/

@adorabear: collection is lookin great yo!

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen announced.  Pretty psyched since it was literally the last 360 game I started, but I retired the console and didn't finish it
