I passed on the Boy and His Blob repro for NES. That just wasn't worth it for the price. But they've got me for a re-release of the Wii game. That game was a legit solid effort from WayForward. Having a re-released version that runs on my Switch is something I would want. I'll stick to the...

Yeah, that's gonna be a pass on Dragon View. If I'm going to get a repro cart, it needs to be a title that I'm actually interested in. If I passed on A Boy and His Blob (and I did) Dragon View doesn't stand a chance. I am in for Sam and Max. Already got the first one on Switch, need to complete...

Yeah, they're really not worth all that much value. Even the most valuable of classic games take close to 30 years to properly appreciate. A lot of it is related to just how young and turbulent the games industry is. People have been making cars for quite some time. The video game industry is...

It's understandable. NES and SNES were much older, more established systems when it comes to the second-hand market. GameCube was a largely overlooked system that was in the right place to get a nostalgic upswing, and also had far less actual physical stock compared to systems like the NES and...

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. Although it is just as likely to be any of WayForward's offerings. WayForward has been one of Limited Run's most prolific development partners. I have no doubt that they would be happy to re-sell any of their previously released games on the XBox in...

For those who are iffy on the current price of PSVR, the issue is the screwing up of the production pipeline thanks to Covid. Everything new these days has had its production screwed up, and a ton of various products have had their prices increased as a result. This is especially true of...

This was likely a good choice. I recently "cracked" the four 3DS models I own, as well as my brother's original 3DS. I went with 256 GB micro SD cards, but it was probably overkill. The 3DS's installed title limit is 300. After dropping that number of titles on these units, I had only filled up...

It's important to define your own limits. I often feel a lot of complaints surrounding LRG are often blown out of proportion. (hence how long this thread gets) But at the end of the day, it is just a series of products, being sold by a company, and involvement in the process is not compulsory...

I'm not attempting to justify paying the price. I'm justifying that the price shouldn't necessarily be the same as a used title that was produced more than thirty years ago. In fact, it is likely that I will personally skip this Boy and His Blob repro. I still own the original cartridge, which I...

Well, the obvious answer is that this is a new physical product, and the cost to simply produce the new cartridge with PCB, printing, and assembly is likely around or greater than $30. I would also point out that the original MSRP of the first printing of A Boy and His Blob, back in the late...

Yes, this is how it is. I double-checked my receipt. I had additional taxes applied based on the State, County, and even City that I live in. This is calculated automatically based on the shipping address I provided, and is a function of the standard on-line store software that Analogue uses...

Yeah, it looks like they're accepting a much larger number of pre-orders for this lot. They're probably feeling a bit more confident now that the initial production run is finished, and many of the early reviews are coming back so positive. They are probably satisfied that the demand is there...

Tax is charged and dictated by the government. Individual companies have no real say in how or when it gets charged, they just have to abide by what the government decides. And taxes aren't always universal, either. They can happen and change on a state-by-state basis, as well as at the federal...

I didn't even bother checking. I obviously didn't make any of these orders in an attempt to get a bargain or save money. I made two separate orders because of the sheer demand for these gizmos, and how they are planning on shipping them out over the coming year. If I had hesitated, or tried to...

I must be mad. Got in an order for a black unit and a screen protector. Then I dove back in to put in an order for a white unit, a dock, and a Game Gear adapter. The Game Gear adapter and the dock are understandable. I limited myself to a unit and a screen protector in the first order to insure...

Took me close to a month to finally snag one of these bloody things. I got lucky. A little brickseek search brought up a recent Target re-stock in my area. When I got to the physical location, the staff hadn't put the Switchs out on the shelf yet. After inquiring with one of employees in the...

Well, we don't know what the specs of the remake are going to be. It's entirely possible that it won't actually be able to run on the Switch. In this day and age, that would be a little unusual, but it's not impossible. Most games that get a PC release are developed to be scalable enough to be...

Iron Man, Cable, and War Machine. Iron Man and Cable both had obscenely large laser beam attacks for their ultimates, and War Machine had an attack where he fired missiles into the air, and they then rained down on the enemy from above. It was one of the combo ultimates that would cover the...

I very much agree. Games are not, and never have been, a good market for speculation. Only the flippers turn a profit, and I've voiced my disdain for flipping often enough. Part of the reason why the speculation market for LRG titles has plateaued is that they simply have persisted in existing...

Tale as old as time. Some new development peripherally related to an older release raises exposure and awareness of the original game, and as a result demand and prices for second-hand copies of the original game skyrocket. I paid like $15 for a brand-new copy of Psychonauts back in the day...
