/vr/ - Retro Games

Don't collect franchises. Makes me depressed since they all are either dead or being raped by modern gaming.

Especially Sonic Team games.

>>2543618
I have that network transmission mega man figurine too. flea market find

>>2543618
Metroid is the only franchise I went out of my way to get everything for.
The only game I'm missing is the NES Classics version of Metroid for GBA, since there's absolutely no reason to own it when it's an unlockable mode in Zero Mission.

>>2543785

Not to mention the palette in the Classic NES version looks like shit. It's really washed out. I think they did that with the original non-lit GBA model in mind.

The unlockable version in ZM looks way better.

SaGa. I have most of the English games, except Final Fantasy Legend III. Actually, I have the Japanese versions of the GB games.

I may get around to importing a Super Famicom so I can play the Romancing SaGa series, but Super Famicoms are ridiculously overpriced on the reseller market.

I buy everything Valkyrie Profile. Can't help it.

Why not just mod your SNES?
It's pretty easy.

Depending on the series it can be incredibly difficult.

Megaman has a deceptive number of games.

>5 GB games
>2 GBC Games (Xtreme)
>6 NES Games
>4 SNES Games (Megaman and Bass import would push it to 5)
>7 Playstation (legends, x4-6, 8)
>2 on PS2
>A whole slew on GBA and DS (Star force, Zero, Battle Network, etc)
>9 and 10 on VC.
>Powered up and Maverick Hunter X on PSP
>Compilations on PS2/GC/XBox

Compared to like Metroid, which would be like
>1 NES (original)
>1 GB (metroid 2: return of samus)
>1 SNES (super metroid)
>2 GBA (zero mission, and fusion)
>A handful on GC/Wii (prime series other M)
>Like 1 on DS (prime hunters?)

I don't think you should go out of your way to get every game in a series just because, but if you enjoy the series I think the logical step is to get more of the games since you're known to enjoy them.

I personally don't go out of my way for series, but I do have a lot of games in series.

>>2543618
I pretty much play almost anything related to Fire Pro. There are some other series that I'm hugely into, but they're mostly series where I only play some of the games because the rest are crap.

I own every U.S.-released Kirby game.

That's pretty much the only franchise I bother collecting for. I kind of collect Dragon Quest games, but most of the spinoffs I have no interest in and I mostly bother with the remakes. Only retro Dragon Quest game I own the original version of is 1. Only main Dragon Quest games I'm missing are 4 and 7.

>>2544053
Bro, the the spin off GBC Dragon Warrior Monster games are really good and I highly recommend them.

>tfw we'll never get the 3ds remakes of the Dragon Monsters here in the states

It hurts so much.

>>2544020

I don't own an SNES, hence why I thought about getting a Super Famicom. A Super Famicom may be slightly cheaper to import than trying to deal with a reseller price gouging me for a U.S. SNES.

>>2543972

That price doesn't include shipping cost.

>>2543618
Amazing Megaman collection, OP

Mine is...well...less beautiful
I have since found a copy of Megaman 4 and Megaman 2 gameboy, pic related

I still would like to find a better looking copy of X3, but that's probably not happening

>>2543618
>no complete set of Nintendo Power Mega Man X pogs
OP confirmed for small time

Metroid. The original trilogy,and fusion, for the bookending. I can't get behind the mandatory GO HERE DO THIS though. I would kill a man, in front of his family with my dick for another solid 2d Metroid game.

>>2544423
Probably not, you have to deal with shipping and the wait. I'd rather disassemble a snes, clean it because it'll be yellow,and remove the tabs preventing super famicom games from playing. Then you just import the games. Unless you're the sort of sperg that needs to play region specific games on their native consoles. I can respect that tick, in that I don't understand it but have quirks of my own.

>>2544472
You should invest in that safari hat.

>>2544035

>not buying every re-release

Here's my problem: I have at some point in time or other owned and beaten every version of every port of every Resident Evil on every available platform. Even the digital releases and game.com game. So we're talking about:

PSX - 6 games
N64 - 1 game
Saturn - 1 game
Dreamcast - 4 games
PS2 - 6 games
Gamecube - 6 games
Wii - 5 games
PS3/360 - 5 games
digital - 6 full games and 2 add ons to RE5
Game.com (which I bought to play RE2 on) - 1 game
GBC -1 game
NDS - 1 game
3DS - 1 game

I really want a Wii U and PS4 so I can play Revelations and Revelations 2 respectively on them. But the cost is too much right now.

So that's 48 games right there. And that's just off the top of my head. I may have actually forgotten a few. And on top of all THAT, I also have all movies, all books and some action figures too. But that's just me.

The only thing I never really did there was get the PS3/360 games on both of those platforms. Same with digital. Just all one platform, because there's no differences at all.
I've also never bothered with the PC versions, but that's because I've always owned toasters, lol.

I also constantly dream up fan game ideas, but I never follow through with them.

The only other series that I came this close to total ownership (as I call it) of was Final Fantasy. But I don't recognize anything after FFX as a genuine FF, so that's out.

Y'all need some Saturn Megaman 8.

Also, that series for me is Monster Rancer but I don't have much at the moment, aside from weird shit like Explorer and Hop-A-Bout.

I've been working hard to collect everything Valis I can. It's got to the point that all the low hanging fruit is long gone and even some of the hard-to-find stuff.

The only notably things I'm missing are Valis Complete Plus, a few Japanese computer releases, the first trading figure series and some soundtracks.

I'm not sure if Little Tail Bronx counts as retro or not since it's literally a series with two games, the other one not being retro and primarily part of the collection, but it's the only series I go way the fuck out of my way to buy everything I can conceivably get for the series in a desperate and pathetic attempt to give CyberConnect2 money in the dire hopes that they will eventually make a third game sometime within the next decade.

>>2543618
I know you preordered the wearable helmet right?

Still workin on it

>>2544478
Is that the set of 6? I saw some dude selling those at a gaming show/con thing a few months ago but he wanted like 20 bux and I wasn't willing to pay that for six (popped) pogs.

>>2543803
>SaGa

You're a good person, keep up the good work.

As for me I had a point where I was trying to collect everything Atelier.

>>2543634

I also collect sonic stuff, but at this point it's more like an abusive relationship, I don't show my sonic shit because of the stigma though.

That and Goemon, which is just hard to find. I found the Anime box set and Crazy Racers before I found GGA.

>>2544035
Shit I forgot I've got the GBA M+Bass, forgot to put it in picture. Also you're forgetting Mega Man Soccer, no? (and that rockboard nes thing but lets not count that.)

>>2544472
Thanks, my first time showing it. I'd like the SNES games, but at this point I'm having more fun tracking down the games than playing them. Everything I have I've found locally through hunting apart from a couple that were gifts. I almost buckled and dropped $120 on the Neo Geo Color game when I saw it in a reseller store but I couldn't justify it when it meant I'd have to buy a NGCP to play it and the power battles games are on the anniversary collection. And I emulate the arcade versions anyway


I am tempted to see if I can collect me some Ys though, got all the PSP ones and the vita one. But at the minute the only system I don't own is SNES.

I'd fucking love a legit Wily Wars though, I'm wary of bootlegs.

>>2544583
Excellent collection! Love it!

>>2544589
You're doing God's Work anon, I've got TC and Sola with OST edition, but never had the cash to get all the artbooks and everything despite how amazing they look. I am super jealous, any idea how much that all set you back?

>>2543618
I collect numbered Dragon Quest/Warrior games.

I have every Japanese release except 10 complete in box, and every American release (not all complete, 2-4 on the NES is a bitch to get at a decent price). I also collect some other DQ/W related items and last year bought $600 worth of stuff from a guy who was once in Nintendo Power for having the largest DQ memorabilia collection in the US. That includes the 1:1 metal an regular slimes new in box.

Touhou

I have a modded PC-98, and saved up money for the pc-98 collection.

Regardless of what others say, I still thank several of the Touhou games are some of the best Eastern-style shmups out there

>>2544898
>You're doing God's Work anon, I've got TC and Sola with OST edition, but never had the cash to get all the artbooks and everything despite how amazing they look. I am super jealous, any idea how much that all set you back?

Thanks. Besides getting Tail Concerto about a decade ago I've been collecting this stuff since 2011 ao I don't know exactly how much everything set me back but it's...probably a lot and more than I'd like to know. The three main artbooks I got before CC2 started putting their stuff up on Amazon and I had to specially import those through request services which was a hell of a lot more expensive than just getting them for retail. I'd say getting everything that's still in print nowadays (Several of the individual fanbooks -- the ones in the middle, collected in the Complete Collection found on the top right -- and the first two Solatorobons sold at Comiket are out of print) would set you back about $400 or so after shipping.

I suppose I own all of the Pokemon games, but that's just incidental since I've bought every installment to date on release.

I would love to get an Ys or SaGa collection going, though.

>>2543618
>no Wily Wars

>>2543618
I love megaman too, I even have wily wars. I don't have a camera but I have every megaman and rockman game, except 9 and 10.

>franchise
go back to /v/, shill

>>2545664
you are literally the worst type of person, please leave now

>>2543618
Chrono. I just need Chrono Cross and a Radical Dreamers repro cart to complete the collection.

>tfw these are the only 3 games in the series

I collect Space Channel 5 stuff. I am amazed that a series with only two games can generate so many extras. My collection is still far from complete. I am missing quite a few variant ports and handful of soundtracks as well as a white SC5P2 Ulala Gashapon and that is just stuff I am aware of. I am sure there is more out there that I am yet to discover. Not pictured are my copies of Project X Zone and Sega Superstars Tennis, both which feature Ulala.

I also have a complete Working Designs collection minus all their variant bullshit because fuck that and a more complete FF collection than >>2544774.


>>2544583
>>2544589
That is fucking nice. I always admire niche collections.

>>2545829
RUB IT IN WHY DON'TCHA?

Also I totally said that in the post. If you have a spare copy I'd love to take it off your hands, problem is the minefield of bootlegs these days.

>>2546665
A legitimate copies going to cost you like 600$ minimum

>>2546665
>If you have a spare copy I'd love to take it off your hands,
hahahaha, the game is amazingly rare, what >>2546907 is actually true, but as a megaman collector you probably already knew this and were just stupidly hoping to scam some one.

>>2546050
it's not like chrono cross is rare or anything you know...

>>2546964
>>2546050
oh, and by the way there is also manga, but you probably don't really care since this post was simply to feel like you fit in.

>>2544589
why would the fact that it only had two games make it count as not retro and not that it was MADE FOR THE FUCKING DS

>>2546971
Tail Concerto isn't a DS game, cruise control.

>>2546971
lol your wiki parroting skills are getting rusty

>>2544774
oh look, it's another final fantasy kiddie that refuses to acknowledge that FF existed before the SNES era. Or probably thinks they are shit because they aren't linear enough for him.

>>2546980
ff was always linear and shit dude

>>2546983
In ff1 you can give matoya the glasses and watts the tnt BEFORE they tell you they need it. That's totally open ended design, holy shit.

>>2544541
I'm trying to get a hold of all the RE games. I have at least one copy of all the mainline games right now and even got some imports but I wanna grab em all eventually.

>>2547041
Have you got one of these yet?

>>2547045
Nah, I didn't even know that was a thing; I'm just concerned about the games right now.
Is it cool though? It doesn't look like it helps play the game better or anything.
What do I search to buy that?

>>2547049
Not my pic, neither is this one. I'm not sure what you'd look for to find one. I remember coming across it ages ago on online game shop under the "collectables" section.

I just find it interesting because it was a controller from the pre-dual shock stage of Playstation-ing. Plus you get RE/Biohazard themed tea! How cool is that!

>>2547050
Nevermind there's a bunch on ebay. Just search for "resident evil controller"

>>2547052
Thanks, I was looking up resident evil 2 controller and all it was showing was the chainsaw one.
I'll probably pick a couple up soon

Its nowhere near finished and I'm moving so I don't have a good place to set it up but I'm a big fan of Nights. The original game at least.

>>2546980
Not that guy, but there were like 5 FF games released before the SNES games in NA. Compare that to the 40+ and growing that were released afterward. It's not surprising that someone still working on their collection would be missing some of the earlier pieces.

>>2546959
The correct answer is C) I was just joking dude. I'm a Mega Man collector, I know there is going to be stuff I'll never own, I'm not THAT crazy. I've played through it on an emulator, but it'd be nice to have a legit copy, I can live without it though. The fun is hunting this shit down in the wild!

>>2547085
Nice!

Those sealed handhelds are neat! I was disappointed by the Wii game to be honest but at least we got a second game. Man, now I wanna play Christmas NiGHTS now.

>>2547085
SC5 guy here. I remember you. I see your collection has come a long way. Good job. You're still missing the US NiGHTS, though. Both the standard and controller combo versions. That is still an impressive collection nonetheless.

>>2543618
Honest question OP: Not trolling or baiting, just want to know:

What do you see in Mega man? why do you like it so much?

I tried to really get into the series, and got bored with it after 4. 1 2 and I guess 3 were okay, but then 4 5 6 all feel like the same rehashed nonsense.

7, X, X2, Mega man and Bass are the only mega man games I can say I've been able to truly enjoy playing. Everything else just seems so copy-paste to me that I don't gain any enjoyment out of it.

Whats your secret?

I wanted to collect space channel 5 stuff because I love that game, but there's so much weird merch for it I dont even know, man.
your collection is dope though, def mirin'

>>2544583
Why do you own porn anon?

I have 95-98 poke-merch if that counts.

>>2548128
no

>>2548105
Do you mean the mangas? They're not porn, but they're not far from it. There's nudity and narrowly-averted-rape (in both vanilla and tentacle flavors), and I believe the author is better known for his porn, but it's not outright porn. Monster Musume is significantly more lewd than the Valis manga.

Now, If I had a copy of Valis X you would have every right to call me out on it.

F-Zero. The only ones I don't have are the Japanese exclusives, and Maximum Velocity. But that is on my GBA flashcart anyways.

>>2548045
I own one, payed 300$ for it, totally worth it cause I love Megaman and the Megadrive, only problem I have.

Jesus christ does megaman feel heavy in megaman 1
