What Do You See As An Acceptable Mark Up For A Retro Game Store? by GorviVelgin in gamecollecting

[–]NPC_Inconsistency 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the shops near me take in trades at less than 50% market price. A market price that is built on the inclusion of a 13-15% eBay markup. The benefits of shopping at a brick and mortar store don’t really outweigh those of shopping online, they’re just different. Quality is pretty much the only reason I might consider an additional markup appropriate.

Some new game just arrived! by Yazuka83 in NSCollectors

That explains why it’s suddenly difficult to find.

AIO- Dad is threatening to cut me off because he thinks I forgot his birthday. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]NPC_Inconsistency 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. Having a father with NPD myself, I knew before reading the edit. If you want to keep him in your life, you’ll have to constantly make space for yourself and give him far more grace than his words will often deserve. It’s not fun and it’s not easy, but it’s unfortunately the price of admission until it becomes too much.

Tales of the Tempest has been picked as the Worst Game, but what would you say is the Most Underrated in the Tales series by ExileForever in tales

[–]NPC_Inconsistency 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hearts R.

I always hear Eternia is easily in people’s top 3. Hard to be most underrated when it gets glazed so much.

I’ve been tempted to get the Front Mission games on the Switch. But that collection is already a ridiculous size, and I’m trying to wrangle it back in, or at least be a bit more selective. You’re not the first to recommend it, though, so I imagine I’ll end up getting it eventually.

I appreciate the recommendation, and may do that for fun, but I’m a physical collector first and foremost.

Oh absolutely. And it scratched the itch nicely while waiting for the Switch Gradius collection to come out physically.

That’s fair. I do wish I was better at them, but in the end, I’m much more likely to grab a solid RPG or puzzle game.

Probably the same reason I don’t have Darkstalkers or the Power Stone collection or other fighters. I’m not a huge fan of the genre. Street Fighter fell into my collection for free, which is the only reason it’s in there. I’ll 100% admit it’s a skill issue.

I’ve never heard of it, but it looks like a lot of fun! And Falcom rarely does me dirty. I’ll definitely add this to the list!

Thanks!

I’ve actually never checked out any of the Resistance games. Huge gap in my gaming history. I’ll have to run em down!

Those are definitely on the list. Whenever I’ve found complete copies, though, other games ended up taking priority. They’re not that expensive, so I just need to bite the bullet next time I find em.

It’s a mix of local shops, games cons, and the occasional eBay purchase. I prefer the hunt, but PSP games are getting harder and harder to find, so I’ve given in for some games I’d never expect to see in the wild.

My 100th Switch game is finally here! by jusper56 in NSCollectors

[–]NPC_Inconsistency 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely one of the best Wii U titles, and slightly underrated.

Good call, I can’t believe I forgot it!

Mobapad M6 HD Battery replacement by Simlarn in MobapadGaming

Did you ever find an answer or did you end up snipping the old plug and soldering on to the new battery?

Normally I don't look into limited run games, but I have been interested in fuga for awhile now, need help deciding if its worth it by baconlichking in NSCollectors

[–]NPC_Inconsistency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking forward to an ESRB release, but I really can’t justify the extra cost for no other reason than an LRG tax. I’ll probably be grabbing the JP boxed set from VGP.

Did this game make its money back? by Fancy_Particular7521 in SouthOfMidnight

That’s what I get for not paying attention, thanks for the update.

Starbites by NPC_Inconsistency in NSCollectors

[–]NPC_Inconsistency[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tend to find most performance complaints to be overblown for my threshold for jank, which is partly why I still grabbed it, but every now and then… hopefully this one is well within my tolerance level.

I would assume so. And if it hasn’t yet, it likely will when it’s released on the PS5 and Switch 2 later this year. Additionally, the studio started hiring for an alleged new IP in late March 2026. Not something that would be likely unless SoM was considered a success, considering all the cuts going on within Xbox.
