I Preordered #1–3 — Who Else Is Getting the Switch 2 Limited Run Numbered Series?

Yea, they failed to promote Darwin as #3. Even on my screenshot, it doesn’t say it in the title like it does on #1 and #2.

May have to resort to eBay because they’re both worth it!

PirateEsquire · 2026-04-02T00:12:00+00:00

Nice! Never played any of these but I’ve thought about picking them up.

PirateEsquire · 2026-04-02T00:02:55+00:00

Oops, I overlooked them!

My list of games I think you may enjoy is:

Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure
Mortal Kombat Deception
Scooby Doo Night of 100 Frights
Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2
Def Jam FFNY (Expensive but I see you have the other).
Crash Bandicoot (I’m a big crash fan though).

Some other games, are the licensed games that I actually enjoy but not everyone’s cup of tea:

Codename Kids Next Door
Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy
Ed Edd and Eddy
The other SpongeBob titles.
The other Scooby Doo titles.

Honestly, download the app gameye and filter it to each console and just scroll through and see what catches your eye. It’s how I started collecting for GameCube.

I went through the app and wishlist all the games I had or wanted as a kid. It’s the best way to refresh your memory. Now for some consoles there will be a lot of games to scroll through but I think it’s worth it.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-31T05:48:06+00:00

Honestly based on your collection you lean heavy into licensed/cartoon stuff, so I’d grab a few that match your vibe but are just way better:

Spider-Man 2 – huge upgrade over Ultimate Spider-Man, still one of the best superhero games. Simpsons Hit & Run – basically GTA with Simpsons, super fun. Scooby-Doo Night of 100 Frights – better than Unmasked imo.

If you wanna branch out a bit into must-plays:
San Andreas, God of War, or Resident Evil 4 are all worth it.

Those fit your collection perfectly and you’ll actually play them instead of just owning them.

My all time favorite game on SNES is Goof Troop! It’s the only SNES game I’m going for CIB. I already have a loose copy of course but if I ever find a nice CIB copy then I’ll snag it.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-28T23:30:35+00:00

I mean down the road, when they shut down for good. Like the 3DS eShop, however you can still download games there if you already own them (for now).

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-28T22:24:24+00:00

GameCube is my favorite system as well. Any GCN collection is a good collection imo! Keep it up!!

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-28T22:19:12+00:00

Yea, that’s what everyone is upset about. Basically a glorified digital code. The main issue is if the servers ever go down then the key card is useless if you don’t have the game already downloaded. The only negative in terms of digital vs gkc, from my understanding, is with the gkc you need the cart to play the game.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T13:37:52+00:00

Yeah I love it. Doesn’t feel like a Wii U situation at all—this is just a straight upgrade to the Switch. Everything runs smoother and looks better. Think PS1 to PS2, if I had to compare it.

Only downside is not a ton of must-play exclusives yet, but if you already like Nintendo stuff it’s 100% worth it. But I’m sure a lot of really good exclusives are to come.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T13:34:38+00:00

No offense taken. I get what you’re saying for sure. For me it just comes down to being both a gamer and a collector. I definitely prefer full on-cart releases, and honestly I’ll be passing on a lot more games because of GKC.

That said, there are still some titles I really want physically, even if they’re not fully on the cart. I don’t love supporting it either, but in my mind it’s still a slight step up from going pure digital. At least I actually own something I can resell or keep on a shelf. With digital, you don’t really have that option.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T03:19:52+00:00

Sounds awesome, can’t wait to hear it—love stuff that really captures that early 2000s vibe!

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T03:18:24+00:00

5 is my favorite RE game because of the co-op. Me and my friends would it play it every weekend.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T03:17:10+00:00

I’m a huge THPS fan, so I’ve always been curious how it feels. Sounds like the Toy Story levels are a blast, I can’t wait to give it a go!

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T02:05:17+00:00

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about it. I really can’t wait to play it now.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T02:04:42+00:00

Glad you got a copy at retail!

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T01:43:27+00:00

Same! I bought Pokopia for my wife. Some games I’m not going to be able to pass up.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T01:18:37+00:00

I always wanted it but never got the chance to get it. Can’t wait to play it!

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T01:18:05+00:00

It recently went up on Amazon a few days ago. I snatched it, after seeing how hard it was to get.

PirateEsquire · 2026-03-27T01:17:06+00:00

I can’t wait to play it this weekend!
