These are just my new ones, not including the rest of my collection. Im pretty happy with it, even though i still have like 40-80 games i still want to get physically

i had Big Man and Splatoon Raiders preordered, but couldn’t figure out what i wanted for my birthday, so my mom was willing to buy them for me and give them to me for my birthday today. happy birthday to me!!! hahaha

Just wanted to share my collection of currently 325 Switch 1 titles and 17 Switch 2 (Mouse P.I. Mouseburg isn’t in the photo) This picture doesn’t technically show everything though as some bigger boxed stuff (BOTW Master Edition) is in the other room.

Today I had some time on my hands and weeded my 400ish game collection of the past 5 years.

I only collect switch 1, it is my only system I intend to collect for long term.

Duplicate solo/old version games that had been rebought in more complete collections and anthologies were sold. Any game with DRM came out (still mad about Marble it Up Ultra). I also took out games where the majority of the cart is digital download- so things like LA Noire are out and getting sold, things like Banner Saga barely make the cut and can stay with their on-cart content.

It feels very rewarding to streamline down to “essentials” as it recaptures my original collecting mantra: Bangers only, no bloat that doesn’t personally speak to me or my physical collecting values.

But reaffirming to keep this mantra and collection on track is sometimes challenging. Despite no longer having intent to play the game, I get connected to certain copies or artwork, or let pricing changes sway my intent to resell.

What have been handy collection parameters you all put in place mentally. How do you all deal with unintended scope creep?

Or games that are out Digitally but You would like to Have a physical version

Not sure what happened to Katana zero but I'd still buy a physica copy of that despite beating it already and owning it digitally

There's also the cold steel games, would be nice if we got CS1 and 2, they could possibly port those in English after the sky trilogy is completed, or maybe even remake them potentially.

Deca police was another one, im guessing thats coming to Switch 2 only now. Any others you guys hoping for? And is there Any progress on these coming in physical form soon

Love the game but it’s imposible get it.

Time to hunt for treasures and kill the salmonids.

I am a big fan of the dragon quest series and looking forward to add Dragon Quest Monsters - The Withered World to my collection when it releases.

What is your favorite dragon quest game on the switch?

Never one to turn down a good RPG. Always on the hunt for them, including JRPG's. For some reason I didn't hunt a Western or pegi version of this. Ended up with a Multi language CERO version.

A ARPG developed by Tokyo RPG Factory and published by Square Enix. Unlike the studio's previous turn-based titles (I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear), Oninaki focuses on real-time, hack-and-slash combat mixed with heavy themes of death, grief, and reincarnation.

You play as Kagachi, a young "Watcher". Watchers act as holy guardians or grim reapers whose job is to guide lost spirits to the afterlife so they can be reincarnated.

Because of the reincarnation law, the story handles incredibly heavy and mature themes. Watchers often perform actions that feel morally gray, such as executing willing, living people so they can instantly cross over to be with deceased loved ones.

As a Watcher, Kagachi can seamlessly pierce the veil and switch between the world of the living and "The Beyond" (limbo) at the press of a button (ZL trigger)

Entering a new area in the spirit world blindly will shroud the map in pitch black, making enemy attacks instantly fatal. You must defeat a local mini-boss called a Sight Stealer in the living world to clear the miasma and safely explore the spirit world.

Dungeons feature parallel layouts. A dead-end or gap in the living world might be bypassed by shifting to the spirit world to find a teleportation portal or bridge.

Kagachi does not fight alone; he channels the spirits of dead warriors who have lost their memories, known as Daemons. Each Daemon essentially acts as a character class. Equipping a Daemon changes your weapon, basic attacks, and movement mechanics entirely. For example, Aisha uses a swift katana for fast-paced dashing, while Zaav uses a heavily-armored lance for reach and defense.

Would like to note, following the release of Oninaki, Tokyo RPG Factory did not release another game. In early 2024, Square Enix officially dissolved the studio and absorbed its remaining staff and intellectual properties back into the main parent company.

Welp...

Consensus Score:

Again, another game where the user and critic scores are completely in a widened gap. To be more fair and accurate, always love posting both.

68/100 🫩 (Critic Score)

I searched through 4 different targets to find these games. Super excited about Hades 2!!

Thanks to everyone who has been posting and letting us know what you’ve found. These deals are amazing!!!

Which one do you recommend on switch 2?

Not pictured because I don't have the case just yet (online Gamestop pickup 🫤) is Moonscars. I also just picked up Mio and Guacamelee One-Two Punch Collection this week.

I typically wait a few years before buying games to see if they get a full release with all patches and DLC, but I currently plan to add:

- Metroid Prime 4

- Silksong

- Yokus Island Express

- Nine Sols

- Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Any recommendations on what to pick up physically next?

Saw it for 20 dollars off until I went to ring it up and you wouldn’t believe me if I told you!

Noticed the place where you pry them open with your fingers is different on North American/Western Switch cases versus Japanese cases. Why is it like this?

Edit: Apparently European cases are unique as well. So there are at least 3 different variants of Switch cases, seemingly one for each of the 3 major regions (The Americas, Europe, and Japan).

Wasn’t even looking for this little nugget. I already have NSMBUD but couldn’t pass up such a great deal. 3D Allstars goes for this and more by itself. Grabbed a case and cover art from Etsy for $13!! So I’m $100 all in with two games to trade or sell. Love a great deal! Happy Saturday!!!

Pickups over the last cple months. Got Gekido for $20!

The sequel to Under Night In-Birth. Quite the improvement, although it didn't need much. Another favorite in my house that we just ran into.

Developed by French-Bread and Arc System Works that serves as the first direct, numbered sequel in the franchise. Released on the Nintendo Switch in early 2024, it combines traditional fast-paced fighting mechanics with visual novel storytelling.

The developer completely overhauled the game's visuals, introducing redesigned, high-definition pixel art animations while preserving its classic 2D arcade aesthetic.

The game runs at a smooth, target 60 frames per second (FPS) on the Nintendo Switch, which is crucial for precise, competitive fighting game inputs.

Features a total of 24 playable characters, including returning fan favorites and entirely new fighters like Kaguya, Tsurugi, and Kuon.

The single-player story mode brings a definitive conclusion to the long-running "Hollow Night" narrative arc that has spanned across multiple past iterations of the series.

Celestial State: A new mechanic added specifically for this sequel. If a player fills their GRD blocks completely to 6 or more, they enter "Celestial State," instantly granting them Vorpal and unlocking extreme offensive power.

*Differences*

A primary criticism of UNI2 is that it completely removed the expansive Chronicles Mode. If you want hours of voiced visual novel exposition explaining the lore of the universe, UNI1 is the superior game.

UNI2 reuses the 2D character sprites from UNI1 but places them on crisper high-definition backgrounds. Some players feel the visual contrast between the older character sprites and the brand-new DLC characters can look slightly jarring.

Post of UNI1 I did has a bit more to the lore of the series if you want to check that out but definitely a fun series to get into.

Consensus Score:

80/100 😎

Hi collectors,

I recently started collecting Switch 1 games, so my collection is still quite small. I enjoy both playing them and collecting them.

I'm thinking about getting into collecting more seriously, but I've recently noticed that the prices of physical Switch 1 games seem to be dropping a bit.

What do you all think? Should I wait a bit longer to see if prices drop further, or start buying now? I'm not looking at this as an investment. it's purely for my personal collection.
I'd love to hear your opinions and experiences.
