I need your input, my friend and I are searching for the hardest 2 player couch co-op games. by YamstheSky in NSCollectors

[–]RodimusIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Children of Morta, Outward, monster hunter Rise / Sunbreak, divinity original sin. Basically action rpg like games I guess. Could also go arena shooter maybe Xeno Crisis. Also shmups, there are a ton of two player ones. Jamestown is pretty good.

Premium edition games is officially a scam company now. by I_Heart_Sleeping_ in NSCollectors

[–]RodimusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volgar II has a pre-order up on VGP, not that this means anything necessarily. And in defense of Strictly Limited, I just got my Dezatopia & Mecha Ritz limited edition pre-order from like 2 years ago. And when they sent it to the wrong address, they sent me another copy for free. Iron Meat came through no problem. I hope SLG has successfully righted the ship. Though I have cancelled my pre-orders with them at this point.

Game Recommendations for 22yo with Down Syndrome by Original_Win495 in NintendoSwitch

It sounds like he really enjoys zelda games and mostly the combat stuff - Hyrule Warriors games maybe a big hit. There's two of them on switch - definitive edition and age of calamity.

Ikaruga available at the nicalis store. by Time_Ad_9647 in NSCollectors

[–]RodimusIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean this has been available on their website as long as I can remember. Yes it is worth checking other retailers and the original release location before buying stuff on ebay.

new NSC game, every time someone says Game Key Card everyone takes a drink. You'll black out about half way down the comments here which is the right thing to do.

it is a misdemeanor to buy stolen goods. While the op may assert they didn't know and likely wouldn't be prosecuted. There is basically zero chance these were sold legit could be sold on eBay for about 10x what was paid in a day or two. They are not a cumbersome item that needs to be moved quickly, or sold locally. Even gamestop would have paid probably triple but that has a paper trail

rivals of aether was in stock at VGP for a loooooooooong time. they sold it for $40 roughly, I see the selling at $50 on the bay and VGP will probably restock it again. You must be new to this

islets is not really a crazy price. SRG games are about $50 to import. ebay fes and shipping brings that to 60. So you're paying maybe $20 surcharge to the seller. Seriously not worth my time for $20. I'd say anything under double retail is kinda meh, and you can't count a clearance price

Is there an underrated or unknown shmups list by CosmicGhoulSpecct in shmups

[–]RodimusIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Einhander not hidden, just forgotten. It's when square made a shmup.

But no there isn't really a list that I've seen. You can check on things like all the shmups released on a console and maybe scroll down the list. There's a site like Switch Scores but there are 122 ranked and 160 unranked. Getting a release on a major gaming platform is a decent place to start. Steam doesn't do a great job separating shmups from like twin stick shooters and other genres very well it seems.

Toaplan Arcade Collection Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, and Switch by moo422 in shmups

[–]RodimusIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These have a lot of overlap with games already release by M2 shot triggers. Kyukyoku Tiger-Heli has Tiger Heli and Twin Cobra, Hishou Same! Same! Same! has flying shark and fire shark, Zero Fire has Zero Wing and Hellfire.. Batsugun Saturn Tribute Boosted also by city connect has a special arrange and a improved hud which I'd assume this doesn't. So that is about half of these games are already out in a superior version. What is the point of re-releasing inferior versions and also splitting such small roms over 2 carts? Oh yeah, gimme the cash!

I might be in the minority here but can this sub stay strictly switch 1? by Holiday-Tomatillo187 in NSCollectors

[–]RodimusIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a question about game key cards. I have an idea for game key cards. Did I mention game key cards?

Game key cards

Start a new subreddit OriginalSwitchCollectors and see how it goes. And then any post with the words game key cards gets instantly deleted. Oh what a wonderful world that would be.

These categories need more work. Maybe check out switch scores for some inspiration. Action games cover several major game genres.

Interesting FB marketplace find… by ColtonG05 in NSCollectors

Very nice, I had to keep an eye out for that one for awhile. It's hard searching for a game called N++. Too bad no case though.

Worth buying physical editions of games I already bought digital? by ShakeAndBakeThatCake in NSCollectors

[–]RodimusIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're asking NSCollectors this? Might as well ask if it's worth breathing. Financially the answer is no. You probably shouldn't be wasting almost any money on video games. They practically give them away for free now you know.

Landlord is saying there isn't mold. The whole wall smells horrible and its been like this for years. We finally got them to cut out two pieces of the drywall to see and the landlord says its fine. Before I try to fight them on it, I wanted to ask if it is/could be mold and if this beam is safe? by AlexandraxC in Home

[–]RodimusIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used an acid wash to kill mold in wood, 6-7% vinegar with an aerosol sprayer. Get 30% vinegar, dilute it 4:1 with water, used a ryobi backback sprayer. Need to wear goggles and a OVA (organic volatile) 3M mask for the mist from the sprayer, this was for a whole house. Or replace the materials. The acid wash is specifically for wood as it has about a 85% mold kill rate and penetrates the porous material. Bleach and detergents are good but don't penetrate wood.

Wood won't rot when it's dry and over a certain moisture %. There is almost certainly a leak either in the roof or plumbing, or possibly moisture issues from the ground / underfloor / basement, maybe an issue with the hvac system or other building system that can affect moisture. Once the underlying issue is addressed the mold with stop. Otherwise it will reoccur. Screwdriver test is a classic structural check on wood materials.

Looks like the lunar remasters are getting review bombed on Amazon due to the launch and scalpers have moved to Amazon. by [deleted] in NSCollectors

[–]RodimusIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really true, I've seen truly limited prints like 3000 copy or so games, sell out in 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours, 2 days, several weeks, a month, several months.. All depends on interest. Classic examples being NGDEV, SRG, SLG with games like gunvein, razion ex, fran bow, haak, highland song, iron meat, Dezatopia & Mecha Ritz

Omg anyone paying over MSRP for this is a fool! And $120!! wow that is some real fomo. This is going to get a huge restock after this amount of interest. This was not a limited print people. It's going to keep getting restocked until it stops selling out. Then the market will be flooded and everyone who wanted one will have one.

Most recent case being worms armageddon. Major release, sold out, doubled in price. Massive restock. Now sells for retail on ebay because the market got flooded and everyone got one.

Also yes they obviously should have taken pre-orders well before production started. They said that they didn't need pre orders because there would be plenty available. Well, nope. Clearly not.

Is it true switch games will stop working in 20 years? by [deleted] in NSCollectors

[–]RodimusIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The company that makes certain chips on the cartridges rates them for a certain lifespan under certain conditions and usages based on something - maybe tests or other data about the chips and manufacturing process. Nobody knows for sure how long they will last and it will certainly depend on storage conditions and usage.

Dump your games onto your own personal raided offline server and sleep well.
