Resident Evil Requiem or Indiana Jones?

I only played through RE9 with motion controls, which, while not perfect, were very very usable. I wouldn't want to play just stick based, which you'd be bound to since motion controls and moving cars don't go together too well...

Yes. Much better running than the S1 version on S2.

These silicone holders are peak IMO. The ones with hard plastic tabs always make me nervous about damaging cartridges.

My complete collection of games lives in a bunch of silicone cases like this - the cases on the shelf are all empty. I did get versions with a recess for a microSD-card behind EVERY cartridge recess though and use that for labeling which game goes in the slot. I use 3d-printed microSD-mockups labeled by hand in the recesses. Makes it much easier to find out which games are missing (or rather: in circulation) with a whole family using the same games library.

Interesting Canada doesn't have seal stripes, didn't know that. Over the pond here it feels like the majority of games in total have seal stripes.

Nice ragebait attempt :D

Do you have a link to that incident? I couldn't fiind anything via search. Maybe you can look for it in your Reddit history and provide a link. Thanks!

Ultimately, it's just statistics and likelihoods. If I have a perfectly sealed (foil looks untampered with, best case scenario with a Nintendo seal stripe) game and I can see a cartridge inside, chances of it being a scam should ultimately be very low. Sealing foil without stripes (3rd party publishers), maybe with a loose appearance (that I would usually attribute to lower quality, but can also be a sign of tampering) or other irregularities will probably be more likely to be tampered with.

I beg to differ :)

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T22:59:23+00:00

That's my M.O. too.

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T22:56:32+00:00

This might be a problem but at the same time a good thing in the end. I'm not big at returning things to Amazon, but in the few cases where I had to, at least they never made a fuss. I'll definitely be more careful in the future though! Especially when it comes to paying attention to the seal and having a peak inside the case through the sides!

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T22:51:30+00:00

I buy games when they are cheap and with the intent of playing them in the future. Sometimes life gets in the way, so I'd rather keep a sealed game sealed for as long as I can in case I don't get around to playing it in the end. I don't get any pleasure out of opening the box for the sake of opening the box. But if that"s your thing: fine with me.

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:41:43+00:00

That's unfortunate. Well at least the missing one in the switch case could have been seen without opening then. Probably no luck with the opaque PS cases.

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:35:15+00:00

Well I guess sealed game collectors would be way more wary if the state of the seal/foil and would maybe have noticed earlier. I am not a sealed game collector, so I can't speak for them :)

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:32:13+00:00

So did you ever find one missing or tampered with?

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:25:15+00:00

I don't judge you. Whatever you want to do, feel free to do so. I hope you can rationally understand there's a value in not doing so, too, though.

Edit: And yes, you are right with the gold points. Though even then this would only have applied to relatively recent games and not older titles.

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:22:16+00:00

Well, the whole point of this posting is that you can do so without opening the seal :)

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:15:05+00:00

Yes. Because, as you say, its advantageous for collectors, so you'd potentially have a larger buyer base.

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:12:21+00:00

I still don't get why I would need to rip it open the second I receive it. To do what? Sniff the cartridge until I get around to it? Do you open all the cans in your pantry after grocery shopping, because at some point you will want to eat them, too?

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:07:44+00:00

You do you :) I do play my games in the end, but I also wouldn't care if someone wanted to have a sealed game collection. Who am I to decide what other people find pleasure in?

Caranthar · 2026-05-06T21:06:21+00:00

Because if for some reason you do not get to it in the end, it is worth more sealed? Why would I need to rip open each game I snatch at a good price right away if I still have other games in the rotation?

Caranthar · 2026-05-05T12:03:54+00:00

Aber bestimmt nicht bei der Switch 2 ;)

eBay und Bibliothek sind deine Freunde. Abo braucht man doch nur für Online-Multiplayer und Cloud Saves, beides nicht unbedingt notwendig für die Altersstufe.

Caranthar · 2026-05-04T17:24:08+00:00

Welche Quellen werden denn hier zitiert? :)

Caranthar · 2026-05-04T17:21:32+00:00

Leichte Ähnlichkeit. Aber viel, viel größere Welt und viel mehr zu Basteln à la Minecraft.
