Literally fast forwarded through the best part of the video… strategy guides are much more interesting than a game label imo.

[@SuperDerek]

I got you dude: Crimson Tears - Bradygames Oni - Prima Legaia 2 - Prima (bad condition) Summoner - Prima Ever Grace - Prima Jade Empire - Prima Alundra - Prima (bad condition) got 'em all for between $2 and .50 each

[@AbyssalAura]

@@SuperDerek sweet deals. I find myself collecting strategy guides more than games now. The game collecting scene has become way too competitive. Guidebooks are a relatively niche thing to collect.

[@ssj50trunks]

Right?! I let out an audible "aww man" when he fast forwarded past the strategy guides. It's for sure a section I always look through at game stores and is a part of gaming I really miss. RPG strategy guides were always with me at school as a kid.

[@SuperDerek]

Sorry Trunks! During the edit, I could really just tell I was going to lose half my viewers if I kept it in. Maybe I'll upload it as a separate video to the Discord or something?

[@rc_matic]

no need to apologize, game guides are boring

[@TheDetectingZone]

Great Job on those game cases and art I am happy to see those games properly housed, especially Hammerin' Hero, Jeanne D'arc, Jikandia, and Half Minute Hero! You gave them much needed love and that warms my heart!

[@SuperDerek]

Thanks again John, it's the least I can do! I'm so happy to make sure these games stand the test of time. Can't wait to dig into them in earnest! :)

[@MiamiSunrise]

So Derek, what WERE those strategy guides (as in, were there any JRPG strat guides?)? Such a nice video to watch on a relaxing Sunday. The new cases and art look fab and ultimately that effort is worth it imo to house all those cool loose games. Fun stuff man, also the new shirt design is great as well, design feels a bit more tied into your gaming space there at home or at least it reminds me more of that I guess. Great stuff man, Paladin's Quest is different and kind of weird but worth trying out and 7th Saga north american version is really tough, like really tough but also good as well. So much to play and so much to enjoy, thanks Derek as always!

[@SuperDerek]

Hehe, maybe I shouldn't have skipped those after all? Here they are: Crimson Tears - Bradygames Oni - Prima Legaia 2 - Prima (bad condition) Summoner - Prima Ever Grace - Prima Jade Empire - Prima Alundra - Prima (bad condition) got 'em all for between $2 and .50 each

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

Great haul, Brave Story on PSP is a favorite of mine since it came out. Its such a fun "Saturday Morning Cartoon" kind of feel with comic book speach bubbles. Its not incredible or anything, but its some real nice comfort food.

[@razielvaleth]

Ugh what a stack!! Spike McFang was a favorite growing up, have fun!!

[@SnappleRyRy89]

Lol, you totally caught me off guard with your title when you said that this thing was a "Game Changer" acting like a KVM or network switch for switch games. Still, this is very interesting nonetheless and would definitely be complete if you could do this remotely. Also that "storage" caught me off guard making me think you can add more SD cards to increase space.

[@GeekHero_Bubba]

Due to childhood memories JRPGs are a Go-To for me this time of year.

[@HybridAngelZero]

These are some rad pick-ups! Spike McFang in particular is one of my most wanted SNES games. There's one flaw in this video, though- you shouldn't have fast-forwarded through the strategy guides! I really wanted to see them! xD (Don't worry, I did see the reply to another comment where you listed them all)

[@StiffAftermath]

I leave stickers on boxes and games. It is part of their history. 😊

[@aaronpischke5019]

The game changer thing is SUPER weird and ridiculous, but also kind of... amazing? I am constantly amazed by the scope and diversity of switch accessories. Great video btw (as always)!

[@SuperDerek]

Right?! I legit just thought I'd have a laugh, but this one really surprised me!

[@Dusty_B]

But I love strategy guides 😅

[@SuperDerek]

Hehe, well the main issue is I went on a really long rambly detour that bored myself to death while editing. But here's what I got: Crimson Tears - Bradygames Oni - Prima Legaia 2 - Prima (bad condition) Summoner - Prima Ever Grace - Prima Jade Empire - Prima Alundra - Prima (bad condition) For some reason, some of these guys have this weird oily soot covering part of the covers. It's really bizarre. But otherwise they were all super cheap!

[@japanimationman4442]

I assume that black game case was intended for Genesis/Master System games. Maybe even specifically for Electronic Arts games. I know you're more a SNES guy, so maybe you haven't seen them, but EA Genesis games often had really big instruction manuals. Some of their games came in fat cases to fit them, which also meant larger than normal cover slips. I have a CIB Buck Rogers that I had to piecemeal together from different sources, and I had to make sure I got a fat boy case for it. But, hey, I saved like $20~30 doing that, so it was worth the effort.

[@SuperDerek]

Nope! Surprisingly, this black one actually had a lot of extra tabs to hold all kinds of carts, just like the Universal game Cases do, with labels for the different cart styles. Identical even. I'll still probably eventually use this one for a Genesis title since it'll match so well, but dang this one was nice! :)

[@JustTheGems]

I've been super curious about that Switch card switcher for awhile now, I may have to pull the trigger on that soon. And I also grabbed the Limited Run release of Dragon View for the same reason you did -- I'm all about physical, but if you give me an official option at a lower price? I'm all over it.

[@MindSorcery]

Paladin Quest omg i forgot about that game, it was fun :D

[@A.S.Bridges]

As always man, love your passion for game collecting. You really know your stuff. So glad to see you genuinely filled with so much joy from your latest haul. Game on my good sir. 👍

[@DuoBeard]

A literal game changer, oh no 🙈 🤣 Derek please! You got some great things going on here

[@SamuraiSam]

Game changer looks cool and I didn't know about it, thanks for showing it off!

[@swamplord85]

I have a lot of ps1 game guides, ff7, ff8, ff9, chrono cross, parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi, grandia, maybe they’ll be worth something one day

[@jamesz28]

I really enjoyed the video, Derek. Always cool to see some snes rpg goodness.

[@theflyingninja1]

I sold my boxed Spike McFang a while ago and was shocked how much it went for.

[@SuperDerek]

Congrats on securing some of that "down-payment for a house" money! 😛

[@MightyMothra]

3:12 Sage advice, Derek... sage advice indeed...

[@jeffereykizior1605]

Paladins Quest was great, I enjoyed it

[@XenojinX]

Are you playing sea of stars??? I literally can’t wait for the review. It is a masterpiece!

[@SuperDerek]

Finished it! Needed to clear off my table so I could record the review. :)

[@electrikoptik]

From Bikini hauls to RPG hauls. KZbin’s algorithm knows me so well!

[@baldpipesmoker1]

Nice haul! A giant box for one game? Lol! I like the shirt, but with respect sir, $35 is kind of high don't you think?

[@SuperDerek]

I get ya. $35 a few years ago might seem pricey. There are a few factors that go into this though and I'm happy to talk about them. The shirts base costs themselves have gone up, and are a big part of the final price. Part of the reason is I'm not having these printed on the cheapest generic scratchy Gildan tees I can find. These are super high quality, comfortable shirts with quality comparable to American Apparel. I want my merch to feel as good as it looks, and to survive past just a few cycles of laundry. Next, I had the shirt professionally designed and screen-printed by hand by a local company, not just printed by a print-on-demand service. (That's why these are currently pre-sale only,) The inks actually get pressed into the fabrics through a screen by hand, not by a machine printer, not ironed on. Check out the videos and posts by Switch Wicked on Instagram or elsewhere to see some behind-the-scenes videos of the process! The end result is a shirt where the inks become part of the shirt, which results in a more durable print that doesn't feel overly thick or flakey. And lastly, honestly _everything_ is more expensive today than it was a few short years ago, including the base cost of shirts, design, labor, and handling, so the prices have gone up recently to help offset those costs accordingly. While I understand that not everybody's wages have gone up at the rate of inflation, (I know this all too well, personally,) I hope that this at least explains why these cost more than some other shirts you might see for sale on the Internet. Let me know though if you have any other questions!

[@50MiraGaming]

My impulse buy this month was ys x limited edition 😊

[@tonyballou]

That cart switcher is quite interesting. I think I will give it a shot! Cheers!

[@jasonm7298]

I like how the game rooms you film in really feel like something that you'd walk into in a snes/ps1 era RPG.. like you walk into a house and the room would look like one of your rooms. You know what you should do next... buy an 80 thousand dollar walk in safe and hire 24/7 security guards that guard your front door + an ex special forces sniper that you keep on retainer with a rifle pointed at the front door 24/7 in case any villains decide to try to rob your RPG villa.

[@ptourt]

Great video Derek thanks!

[@SuperDerek]

Thanks ptourt! :D

[@Mintcar923]

Christmas in October👍

[@dougphisig]

Game changer is pretty cool honestly, but not sure i want to spend 34 bucks on it, and only helps when you're with your dock. I couldn't get into Paladin's quest even though I own the game as I picked it up at one point.

[@SuperDerek]

Yeah, my Switch never leaves the dock though which makes it a solid option. I wonder if a portable version could ever be made?

[@jaimereupert4247]

4:38-4:45 I'm interested in them. What ones did you get?!

[@SuperDerek]

Here ya go! Crimson Tears - Bradygames Oni - Prima Legaia 2 - Prima (bad condition) Summoner - Prima Ever Grace - Prima Jade Empire - Prima Alundra - Prima (bad condition) got 'em all for between $2 and .50 each

[@jaimereupert4247]

@@SuperDerek for Legaia 2, is that Duel Saga the Legaia game made after Legend of Legaia?

[@SuperDerek]

@@jaimereupert4247 Yep! That's the one! :)

[@jaimereupert4247]

@SuperDerek thought so. I wish they'd either make a 3rd game or make the other 2 in an updated format. Along with some other rpg games like Lufia 1 & 2, Illusion of Gaia (and the rest of the qunitent series), Breath of Fire series, and Demon's Crest.

[@lazeegai2014]

Lol nice. Just watching this made me wanna get some cases for my loose ones as well

[@SuperDerek]

It's so dang satisfying dude!

[@deiruru]

I was interested in the strategy guides... oh well

[@Eagleknight815]

This box is nice but its not the same as the others.....we gotta fix that! The OCD is real!! 😂😅😂

[@SuperDerek]

lol you're not wrong! After thinking longer on it, I might be able to repurpose this for a Sega Genesis cart. :)

[@tysonb1460]

We care about strategy guides!! :)

[@alisterkold]

I like your set up in your den/man cave kinda wanna do a similar look in mine

[@SuperDerek]

Great thing about that rustic aesthetic, you can basically DIY everything! And the more newbie you are at it, the more "rustic" it gets! (Worked out really well in my case!)

[@taliefer16]

me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. when you fast forwarded through the strategy guides. RIP

[@SuperDerek]

lol, I have more details listed in one of the other comments about what they are for those who feel like they missed out. :-P

Currently taking a break, but I'm thinking I'll return this winter. :)

[@angeluzerrare8170]

@@SuperDerek Oh glad to hear. See you soon...

[@pulpprof526]

Nah rip that sticker off Paladin's Quest and goo begone that shit! Sticker on the label... Probably, leave that. :(

[@SuperDerek]

My copy of Conker's bad fur day had one of those Blockbuster stickers that completely covered the label. Ended up using a Mr. clean magic. eraser to take the ink off the clear BB label, and now it's basically a clear plastic label protector over my copy of CBFD. :-)
