Do you think the Guide Louvre should count toward the full US 3DS set? Comment below!

[@Shotenkai]

I feel like it should be a bonus game when you finally get all the 'retail' releases.

[@suppengroove]

Does the Code on the Cart ends with USA? Then yes...obviously. It's from your region/desired goal Does the Code ends with UKV, EUR or any other of the non-american Codes? Then no. Take it as a Bonus, but it's not from your Set

[@stashmerkin9576]

Elisa, I have only officiated one wedding of some friends. When they first started dating he wooed her with X-Men cards. Those things are powerful!

[@JRPGLife]

Lol love this!

[@jrpgwife]

X-men cards are some of my favorite expensive cardboard 😅

[@3DS__Gamer]

3DS will forever be in my heart! Love the 3DS!

[@CeasiusC]

my favorite era in gaming

[@solidsnake9933]

I’m telling you, you and Morts Garage are the absolute best channels out there right now

[@JRPGLife]

You are too kind! ☺️

[@retro_escape2969]

Congratulations on the UK Louvre CIB!! I personally don't think it counts in the US set but I DO think it's awesome that you guys have it!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks Ben 😀

[@KyriWoW]

I agree. If its a UK 3DS game, I shouldn't even work on an US 3DS.. Or am I mistaken? But gz nonetheless ;)

[@jrpgwife]

​@KyriWoW Physical copies of Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre are not region locked. 😊 We'll call it a bonus game.

[@KyriWoW]

My apologies I did not know! Again congrats with this rare aquisition 😊

[@Eagleknight815]

WHAT A FIND!! This years Game On had some growing pains no doubt but so much more variety! To see so many rare games out there, what a weekend! Now we got to save for March all over again 😂

[@JRPGLife]

And socal in June! 😀

[@AnimatorAR]

It was great meeting you two on Day 1! I still have your sticker you gave me. Thank you! I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@JRPGLife]

It was great meeting you 😀

[@GamingOdditiez]

A few years back amazon France was getting rid of a load of Louvre guide 3ds games that had somehow ended up on there. It was the French version but I got one delivered to UK and it cost me about $30. It was always something I'd wanted since I heard about it, and I'd thought of making a trip to France just to get it. Awesome find and price on the one you got :)

[@JRPGLife]

It's such a unique and wild item 😅

[@sleepytwiggaming]

I definitely agree on the Xmen cards those were needed 🔥

[@Qill_Rider]

You can never past those classic x-men card.

[@Hellv1n]

This year was such a blast. The first day of the expo was a disaster but it improved throughout the rest of the event. Didn't pick up a ton of games but I got every single RARE game i own from NES to SNES signed by David Wise and Kevin Bayliss, that was an awesome moment!

[@JRPGLife]

That's awesome!!

[@agentx0752]

The journey continues! Great finds. Keep up the 3ds hunting. Great video!

[@cicerothenekoknightplaysall]

Awesome finds and banger video like always

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much!

[@battlerealms72]

I love that you guys collect together. Love the channel. New subscriber. Keep up the great videos!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much for watching 😀

[@JoeFpoc]

I love my 3ds. Took me forever to get a switch like a year ago but still bounce back to the 3ds. I never really became a hardcore collector but thankfully stuff was cheap 5-6 years ago loaded up. Really haven’t bought anything lately

[@stephieh80]

Congrats on your awesome find! Btw thanks for the ham 🤤😁

[@JRPGLife]

Haha you're welcome!

[@davidtobin1]

Highs and lows with the two Louvre games! Great video guys!

[@JRPGLife]

Haha thank you!

[@AAA__]

I've been down to needed 4 3DS games since 2020. I've gotten the new games that have come out in that time but those other 4 I haven't found. I don't think I will ever get the Barbie game though. I have the Louvre: Guide only because I found it at a game store in 2018 it was a lot cheaper than since you could still get it at the Louvre, I only paid $60 for it.

[@JRPGLife]

Awesome!

[@flightlesspiggie6966]

Once you are done getting the entire set to force yourself to at least play each game a little bit. To do this you should do a challenge where you have to play every game for at least 1 hour or some other amount of time on stream.

[@JRPGLife]

We have actually already talked about live streaming us playing through our entire 3DS collection alphabetically for about a year now 😀

[@flightlesspiggie6966]

@@JRPGLife Oh really I remember hering something about live streaming the 3ds games but I never knew about the alphabetical part. Also, What is the worst game you have ever played.

[@lencho2368]

When you bought the Louvre game and tried to use it there it required an update and the internet there was so slow it was actually better to rent a 3ds and then pick up a copy on your way out. This is how I ended op with my sealed copy ;)

[@JRPGLife]

Haha awesome!

[@patrickrodgers861]

These are my fav videos of yours. I’m still working on my full North America possibly English vita set (35 to go of the 317 North America ones). I saw my first vita game in the wild in a year yesterday. I really want the Lourve one for my 3ds collection.

[@JRPGLife]

Best of luck with your Vita set!

[@jasonshouseoffunandvideoga7169]

Great finds! One step closer to completion! ☝️🙌✨️

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks Jason!

[@mechaotakugamer]

I saw in the background 2 of the Japanese Symphonia gamecubes. I really want one as it is one of my holy grail consoles

[@JRPGLife]

Such great games!

[@mechaotakugamer]

@@JRPGLife btw congrats on finally finding some 3ds games yall needed. I recently got one of my 3ds grails for free

[@JRPGLife]

Awesome!

[@JanTheMangaMan]

Very happy you were able to get that many especially the Louvre one as well. Great video

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@code2519]

yea the Louvre is only about £70 in the UK its insane on how much it costs in the USA

[@ssxtier]

i wish i was at that place bc fr i searched all around my local video game store and i still cant find worms open warfare 2 which is a pretty cheap game on ebay :( but still i somehow got hands on a rarer game i got for 15 dollars which is the most money i spent on a 3ds/ds game right now . I gained hope and next time i go there , i will get that game

[@YuviApp]

Happy to see you two found the louvre! Also them X-men cards 🥲

[@TheAcenightcreeper]

It was driving me crazy, i couldnt figure out who you reminded me of…but your voice is identical to Thomas Lennon and you look like him if he had long hair . New boot goofin

[@JRPGLife]

A few people have said that about me a few years ago 😅

[@mattlockwood6089]

There and back again by jrpg

[@RwnEsper]

What a find in The Louvre at that price. Looks like you two had a great time!

[@JRPGLife]

We did! Thanks so much for watching 😀

[@rickrick5682]

Got a French cart of Louvre for $4 back in 2018, If I’m not mistaken, It is the only game that is region free.

[@ThyGreenKnight]

The Louvre cart is just reminder of how unique and excellent the 3ds was during its lifespan along with things like the street pass, spot pass and 3D videos. The system is still great, but there are so many things that will be lost to time. Tomorrow the 3DS and Wii U online shuts down. As I'm trying to find a way to get 100 blocks of space open on my system to update Fragrant Story, I'm looking though the photos of my kids and pets and screenshots of games that I enjoyed over the years and swap notes from people on my friends list, the nostalgia hit pretty hard (at least the 3ds slideshow music isn't as emotional as the DSi slideshow music). Things just keep moving forward. Let's see what "Switch 2" has to offer.

[@JRPGLife]

Such a wholesome story! 😊

[@MSUHitman]

9:58 The keychains were the GameStop preorder bonus for FE Fates.

[@JRPGLife]

Ah ha! That makes sense

[@expensivecardboard]

OMG that was awesome. Congratulations 🎉

[@robl6933]

Great job! There is a light at the end of the tunnel... although Barbie might be blocking that light a bit.

[@JRPGLife]

Yeah...it's a HUGE block 😅

[@TheNintendoWizrad]

Glad you guys found louvre! I bought a French version of it. Felt it was fitting.

[@JRPGLife]

Haha definitely 😆

[@boyonthephone1]

Great video at a great expo. Congratulations on getting the Louvre game I'd heard how rare it is ❤

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much! 😀

[@Earthling247]

I like your videos because you two seem so nice and quite likable

[@JRPGLife]

Thank you so much for the kind words 😀

[@TheNickerous]

I remember seeing Alien Chaos at Kmart years ago and thought it was a cool looking shooter. Turns out it is!

[@JRPGLife]

Super fun game!

[@Megamon0001]

I wish I'd bought more of the louvre 3ds guides when I was there...

[@indy5280]

This is an amazing day hunting for the 3ds

[@JRPGLife]

It sure was! 😀

[@jasongarner5980]

Woot! Stand In Line Expo!

[@JRPGLife]

That was definitely rough, but 100% Phoenix PD's fault for being 2 hours late 😞

[@PkmnMasterNeb]

I remember hearing about guide louvre when I was in high school and was gonna buy an English copy for like $60 on eBay but I was like “man idk if I can justify it when I could just buy a new game instead.” Wish I picked it up then😂 Crazy how much the game shot up in price.

[@Mikedadof2]

Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐

[@TrinhNguyen-85]

Great pickups!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@noble_wine]

Congrats on finding that rare art game! 😊

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@lordcheesus1013]

Hey! Did you guys know that quite a few animes out there have games on the switch? Have you played any of them and if so, how were they like? I've been wanting to play and try the games for Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, Re:Zero, and Fairy Tail. I had no idea those animes had games until they popped up in my "recommendations" tab on Amazon, lol! I'd LOVE games for Jobless Reincarnation or Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

[@JRPGLife]

We haven't really played any of those, but maybe aome day 😀

[@integ-ron9154]

I liked since you had a can of ham

[@wartotems9368]

Happy Sunday Friends!!!!!

[@realsteel7260]

One 3DS game Iv been looking forever is Alien Chaos 3D! lol idk if yall know how much that one is

[@JRPGLife]

Good luck in your hunt! That's one we only found loose so far 😀

[@keithmathis1315]

I just found Corpse Party Is that Game really RARE just the Game manual and case

[@dimitryryutta]

aw man,street pass,i miss that so much...

[@JRPGLife]

It's still alive!

[@dimitryryutta]

@@JRPGLife In some places maybe,but last year i took my 3DS to Comic-con,i was so sad when i checked and i didn't get a SINGLE street pass! TTwTT

[@24BlackMamba8]

Got 5 last month at side quest expo here in Portland.

[@juicepokemon]

Spectrobes! 11:34

[@AltarOfGaming]

are you sure there's only 425 physical 3ds ntsc games? theres at least 800 in EU, so that would be crazy!

[@JRPGLife]

Yep! We are just collecting US releases 😀

[@Andrew-zu7vl]

Did you get Shakedown Hawii? i just found out they made a physical 3ds copy, i think it released in November

[@JRPGLife]

Yep, we pre-ordered both the regular and CE way back when and received them a few months back 😀

[@emayzd]

Would you guys resort to eBay to find the last few? Just curious. Big respect for your shared hunt.

[@JRPGLife]

We have avoided resulting to online this entire journey, hoping to stay that way 😀

[@Seanjwid90]

I met you guys on day 3. My wife made you guys the Kirby’s you guys have a video for day 3?

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks again! We have a few expo videos in the cooker as we speak, they really aren't broken up by days though. Stay tuned 😉

[@mjdf122]

3DS time

[@TheBushey]

Great video

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@Satiator123]

I would 100% settle for the PAL version of Barbie. The price is just too much on the North American copy.

[@CmPuke101_]

At this rate we’re getting GTA 7 before you guys complete the 3DS set

[@JRPGLife]

No kidding 😅

[@galeofdarkNES]

Hey! So I’ve been trying to look online everywhere and I can’t seem to figure out which region or version my Louvre is since it is cart only. The last 3 letters on the cart is EUR. Please help!

[@jrpgwife]

If you start up the game, does it show what language it's in?

[@galeofdarkNES]

@@jrpgwife ah it’s in English that’s good right? I actually played around with it for a bit, it’s pretty neat actually. It’s literally a museum tour.

[@BOXERCRAZYBROWNCLOWN]

Was the louvre console a special edition 3ds or just a basic 3ds?

[@JRPGLife]

Looks like a super rare special edition New 3DS XL...definitely a sweet item

[@damiengunit9788]

😎😁

[@tonberryhugs6435]

Crazy how one of the most expensive games on 3DS is also the most boring lol. Grats though!

[@JRPGLife]

Lol totally! Thank you 😀

[@solomonmcneil]

Hi

[@treychampagne1631]

I hate to say it but the 3ds library has a ton of junk and shovelware. Congrats on the collection but after using h shop for a couple years, many of the games have aged poorly. I doubt you ever play 75% of these games

[@mukeshgoolcharan6121]

❤😊😊😊

[@russell11fitzgerald]

So the thumbnail was Clickbait

[@jrpgwife]

I'm not sure what would be clickbait. we bought the game at the end of the video. *spoilers*

[@dnnbsc]

Hi, I might have lead on the others you're missing except Barbie, I'll message you guys on Instagram later.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks! Hopefully they are local game stores that we can shop in person, though, because we are not buying any online 😀

[@dnnbsc]

Well I live in Oklahoma so that maybe an issue

[@JRPGLife]

​@dnnbsc I get it. We could easily buy the rest of the games we need on eBay right now, but we are choosing to buy in person instead. It makes the hunt more fun, and gives us stuff to record 😅

[@dnnbsc]

@@JRPGLife just those four left, I'm rooting for you guys, that Barbie though 😬😵‍💫

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks!

[@suckamc3232]

lol so the uk one is English go figure 😂

[@RetroHoundGaming]

8:12 glad the UK one was English…
