Collecting for the Switch will be different this year….

[@RenegadePandaZ]

I will never understand full set collectors, there are so many objectively awful games on any platform, and buying them just to say you own them is bizarre to me. I have 300 Switch games, but they are all ones I enjoy or have an interest in playing. I don't need a full set, I have no interest in playing the hundreds of sports, LEGO, lousy ports, kids shovelware, etc that exist on the platform.

[@tony_0088]

I think this was kind of understandable on some of the retro console catalogs with some smaller size catalogs (like the N64, or sega saturn, or even more "rare" systems like mega drive 32X). On modern consoles with thousands upon thousands of cheap shovel ware is pointless. Just a humble opinion.

[@jonathanbriu]

Just buy games you’ll actively play or have an emotional connection to the franchise

[@user-cv5lq8vx2l]

For me personally, this is the year to finish up the PS4. Still a bunch of good games for the console that I've yet to get

[@OrbitGametv]

I'm with you 💯 bro I recently started my ps4 collection and I've seen some great games I would love to play

[@user-cv5lq8vx2l]

@@OrbitGametv some of the good games for the console aren't expensive either. Which makes it even better. Well good luck on building the library for it bro

[@OrbitGametv]

@user-cv5lq8vx2l thanks bro I appreciate it. Just going to take my time collecting and enjoying the games too

[@cdramafpv]

I hear it! PS4 physical is the thing! I'm stuck on my ps3 favs at the moment but I'm a PS fanboy for sure. PS4/PS5 physical is smart imo.

[@OrbitGametv]

@cdramafpv u can't go wrong with ps3 it was literally one of the best console graphically with alot of good games that's why I didn't skip collecting for it

[@ippoverse]

Thank God Switch 2 is backwards compatible

[@LRrealest]

Always good to see Astral Chain in a video.

[@tcsutton9121]

Love that game.

[@DaveBudness]

I'm still collecting games for the NSW. Also, some lady brought in Mario 3D all-stars, gamestop is selling it for 100$. Found it else where some mom and pop indie store, they are selling it for 99$ I'm glad I got mine on the cheap like 3 years ago.

[@cdramafpv]

60$ still isn't cheap but yes I agree.. glad we purchased it when it was msrp lol.

[@pauljacob99]

I’m not sure how to even approximate the size of a full Switch collection. Especially if you want to consider foreign releases which are often fully compatible in English.

[@PolynomiaI]

Thoughts on collecting shmups on switch? They generally have slightly less input lag on PS4 but the convenience of having them on the go is amazing and often worth it imo.

[@Dandoyupeben]

Switch is the one like you said curation is key i just got the castlevania advanced collection and it takes me back to GBA days. I pick up Xbox one too cos it super cheap. But like every time you look at switch on Amazon you See titles you’ve never seen before

[@OrbitGametv]

I swear i need to get a nintendo switch soon its been so long since i owned a new nintendo console.

[@1978pq]

Ummmmm. You do know that the New Switch is about to be announced any second now?

[@OrbitGametv]

@1978pq yeah I do know that

[@JeffMac2012]

I was browsing around a lot yesterday and ran across a Switch title I never heard of before. I was stunned when it carried north of a $100 price tag. Not factory sealed. Just a CIB. It wasn't a limited run games (game) but it was rare. Crazy that modern games for modern consoles can sometimes go into the $100s due to apparent scarcity. Like Alan Wake 2 remastered. Astral Chain is amazing. The gameplay of how you fight is unique and incredible sound effects/sound track music. Love Astral Chain myself. If I go back and start buying/trading for more Switch games this year I will be almost exclusively going after the horror genre. The problem I am having is that I have no clue when it comes to horror games for the Nintendo Switch. You go to the usual retail stores and the horror genre is pretty much ZERO for Switch. But, if you take the time you can discover games like "Heaven Dust" which exist because of 3rd party companies like Supre Rare Games. So, I am beginning to notice Switch actually has a lot of horror genre games... Just not easy to discover them.

[@vastneon]

I have just about everything I could ever want on Switch. Missing very little and from here on out I will just be looking to trade for more updated carts

[@m4dh4dd3r]

With PS3, I set my goal to get every good game I'd ever want to play including NA, Japan, and PAL and make sure I complete certain sets like horror, JRPG, etc. That's a big list and at around 400-500 games I'll be there. But for Switch? That won't scratch the surface. I personally don't own a switch and will probably skip it all together and focus on PS5

[@larryluv2302]

Astral Chain is hard to find around these parts so when I saw it I bought it with the generic GameStop box lol.

[@SpookbotTV]

I went HAM on switch last year. Sold off some Xbox 360 to concentrate on the switch

[@warfidem3]

But what people don't understand is that this generation there are 5x more actual games. than previous consoles. Whole libraries have jumped from 700 total games to 4-500 games that come out yearly across all consoles. Yes there are hundreds of shovelware. But there's also 'small' games like Golf story sitting next to large games like Ys8. Collecting whole sets is a tall task unless you are a youtuber getting revenue off every video to cover multiple pre-orders lol

[@BJ6ix]

Switch is definitely on my radar along with PS4 and Wii

[@E-Z_Gamerz]

Switch has limited run, able to play foreign titles and etc, your completely right. Compared to retro, retro is easy to complete a full set! Much respect Y2K!

[@Melissasun-l5s]

Thanks for the forecast! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@LxcasOnYT]

this year im collecting mostly only switch and wii games Im interested in playing. Alot of the switch limited run games dont appeal to besides a few and I recently purchased alien isolation and looking to get a few others.

[@MilkWasABadChoice17]

Collecting for the Switch & PS4/PS5 later on is going to be INSANE. We have never seen physical print runs this low with consoles ever. Years ago, anything less than 25k copies printed was low, now we're having games with runs 5k and less. A bunch of people scoff at these limited print companies, and sure they have their faults, but mark my words, down the line these games are going to have ridiculous price tags.

[@enriquepinero707]

I been waying this since 2020. The Switch gets the best of gaming's past and present; with a natural curation (minuse the shop shovelware problem) and is super convient to use. Even if this were Nintendo's last console; the ablity to simply pick it up and start playing games from the 8bit genration, to as far as the PS3 generation, with arcade games, console games and past handhelds; is WAAAY more convenient than having to pull out those TV only consoles from storage. The Marvel VS Capcom colleciton alone; cemented this for me and I am just waiting for more Saturn and past gen ports for years to come; even well into the Switch 2 life cycle (which is also backwards compatible). Nintendo is on fire. I will be sticking with 1v1 fighers (or tag fighers) waiting for some of them to go on sale and some I will get day 1 (like the Capcom Fighting Collection 2) as well a hack and slash RPGs (there are too many to count, so I will only get 3), and just action games in general.

[@LaurelJohnson-b8r]

Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@aBathingSloth]

Not sure what exactly is your exercise goal but I bought a walking pad last year. Straight melted 52lbs last year just walking while playing games. From 249/250lbs to197/198lbs.

[@gamefiendz]

How’s fitness boxing?

[@tcsutton9121]

Fantastic

[@gamefiendz]

If they had achievements I would be playing Nintendo switch

[@XManShyt]

[@LatashaMorra]

Happy Monday

[@sikevillain]

Nintendo Switch & PS3 games are the most fun collectables for me..I thoroughly enjoy finding gems in both systems 😁

[@warfidem3]

My Switch collecting habits go by rules: 1st rule - It has to be exclusive to the Switch physically. If it's on another console I'm not buying the Switch version 2nd rule - If it's made by Nintendo it's an automatic buy 3rd rule - it has to have a metacritic score of at least generally favorable

[@moniidzia]

I buy those multiplatform good games which run very well on switch and are ideal for handheld mode like 13 sentinels

[@warfidem3]

@@moniidzia If you have a need to play handheld sure. I do not play Switch handheld more than 5% of the time.

[@warehousedave7937]

Switch is gonna get so cheeeeap!

[@scourdx]

This will attract greedy resellers, investors, and manipulators. Some games have already reached the $100-200 range for no good reason other than being limited releases or because resellers are hoarding them and driving up prices with fake bids. I've been keeping an eye on a local seller who has a bunch of rare Switch games, and honestly, a lot of them aren't worth what they're asking. Many of these games attempt to lure suckers into paying high price and hold the bag when the price drops.
