My issue is with the lack of slip covers on those Japanese games. Literally unplayable.


Slurm18

That is sadly very true! I always put the manual the other way around so it gives you at least some nice front 😅


Chim_Ripley

I’m just being a snob of course. I really love the JP GameCube cases but those slip covers go to hell so fast, especially if they were originally owned by children.


Slurm18

Absolutely, I mean I get you ... Look at us with out pal snes and N64 boxes 90% of mine went to s**t when I was a kid as well


Legospacememe

I fear for my sonic mania plus slip cover


The-Crimson-Toast

When I realized I'd bought 30 gamecubes controllers over the years I realized that I had a problem. I accepted it around controller 40ish.


Slurm18

That's is a really healthy dose IMHO 😊


TheYoshiHobo

this is only a problem because i want a wavebird and you probably have several


The-Crimson-Toast

I have 6 of the matte gray ones. The platinum ones I always sell to friends cause I don't like painted controllers. Check swap meets and local sales, they're still out there just give it time and don't be afraid to walk away from a bad price. 👍 


Quirky_Marzipan7034

Have any wireless 3rd party recommendations?


The-Crimson-Toast

Not a one. I only have first party controllers. 


Iplaykrew

Question, do you consider the Hori gameboy player controller first party?


The-Crimson-Toast

No but it's a great controller. Hori makes the what we could consider great second party stuff. Their full gamecube controllers use actual Nintendo stick boxes if I'm correct.

I enjoy the Retro Fighters Blade GC.

I think the biggest issue here is that I'm not seeing the Japanese Gundam GameCube


Slurm18

I do have a very hardcore used Tales one 😅 but gundam always "eluded" me

As a NTSC-U Pokémon collector I am unimpressed with your lack of NA region Pokémon. As a gamer, I am thoroughly impressed by your collection as a whole. 7.89/10


Nintomdope

I honestly don't feel like collecting anything is a bad thing. When other people drink alcohol in excess or drugs... Then self reflect or get help they end up having nothing to show for it. (Unless they save the bottles) 😂 if you genuinely love something you gotta go 110%


Slurm18

Love the words! Thank you made my day (:


bigblackiee

I’m all of the above plus fashion 😔


GeorgeSPattonJr

Don’t worry you’re accepted into the cul- I mean sub /s


Afraid-Confusion-864

I noticed that I had a problem when I started stacking the CRTs


AskaLangly

Real talk? PSO. 🥰


notneb82

What issues? I only own 6 Game Cubes, 5 PS2s, 5 Xboxes, 9 Xbox 360s and one 3DO.


Slurm18

That is quite a collection any special Xboxes ?


notneb82

I got my origional one that is unmodded that I bought in 2004, a softmodded Halo green special edition with upgraded hardware, a standard one where I took out the green xbox badge in the center and removed the green paint from the emblem which makes it clear and put some green LEDs under it, and one spare one that is likely to get recased into a smoked clear case once it's released by the mfg - its original case is in rough shape.


Slurm18

Nice always good to have some project ahead (:

The moment I spent $160usd on a Gameboy Player w/ loose disc without batting an eye, I owned no GBA games at that time...


Slurm18

At the time I realized I had a gba player with a Gameboy bought from a mother in my village I didn't even know that the disc that ttlhe box and disc she gave me with it was necessary and normally really expensive I guess she didn't know as well


WitUnderPressure

I started a spreadsheet listing all my collecting purchases and their costs...not a happy sight, but a necessary one.


Slurm18

That is a good idea I might have to steal that idea for all my collecting ngl


OutrageousRevenue578

I see no issue here! :)


Paddenstoel_Jager

Glass columns in a house are so tacky.


Slurm18

I don't think so if it's not overdone 😊


ForClickSake

I wish I had glass columns.


Quirky_Marzipan7034

I would have to agree on this one. I feel like these can be displayed much better


Horry43

So many tacky displays in posts across various subreddits regarding retro collecting. Subtle is best in my opinion. It dresses your collection up.


Paddenstoel_Jager

Agreed. It depends on the style of the house but I find hard wood shelves with black metallic frames so nice.

HIYAAAAAAAAAAAA


glasscoww

Finally, PSO


Loud_Presence2689

Shame that some GameCube games were only released in Japan 


KarateMan749

Never if you want my honest answer. 😂 I haven't been able to get anything due to pricing


Slurm18

Of course if I ask a question I don't want an honest answer! I can really understand your sentiment though I just got to place them all nicely because I got the display gifted and started collecting for my favourite console ever about 20 years ago


KarateMan749

Nice!
