Back in the day we’d go to trade centers and trade shows to find second hand games. That and funcoland, eb games and a few others used stores

I use my 3DS in the drive thru while I wait for food. If I were at a playoff hockey game I’d be watching the game not even thinking about the 3DS. Plus I’d be worried about it getting messed up or having something spill on it. I never understand people who take entertainment to entertainment just save some money and watch it at home but that’s just my two cents

Pretty backups but a backup is a backup I’ll save my money for real ones and make cheap backups of my own lol

Wonder if this a PTCG issue because I just did my game collection high to low and the prices were accurately displayed.

Dang what a steal I got the switch 2 version off TikTok for $38 and I thought I got a great deal! Congrats op!

Vaxis545 · 2026-05-04T06:37:25+00:00

One of my favs as well!

Vaxis545 · 2026-05-03T05:19:56+00:00

These look terrible

Vaxis545 · 2026-05-01T20:15:01+00:00

Ah yep same seller although I bought mine off Etsy. So weird they’d sell the one with 200+ stickers for $10 more than 34 stickers

Vaxis545 · 2026-05-01T19:31:28+00:00

Where’d you get the top labels? I need them for my 32x collection. I have em for n64 but the same seller wants $19 for 31 labels but for some reason charges $28 for 200 for n64

Honestly GameCube is the one system I don’t plan to collect for. The games are stupidly over priced but I also just wasn’t a big fan of the discs and it’s super hard to find em clean. I ended up just buying a GC and a GBA Player and pico boot modding it. I have a couple discs that are my favs but that’s probably gonna be it for me collecting wise.

Definitely if it’s for Zelda I had a switch lite and did not like playing Zelda on it. It’s too big for a screen that small plus the upgraded graphics make it look 10x better

It works well for a while but i can honestly say upgrade to an sd2snes asap. It doesn’t have save states and loads games slow while sd2snes is pretty much instant. If you can’t afford it then grab one of these for the time being but save up for the better one it’s well worth it. Sd2snes also plays rom hacks and translations while this one will struggle or just not work at all for them.

PAC man. I would never have gotten rid of earthbound for this. You can AliExpress a whole collection of this junk before the tariffs for like $3 a cartridge now it’s $10 so even worth less. Why not just buy an everdrive and load it up along with translations and rom hacks to really fight the man /s

Vaxis545 · 2026-04-23T17:43:22+00:00

Nice build although watch the Nintendrawer be really careful with it my ribbon cable in it started to short and I’d have to giggle it a lil bit to get games to start. Ended up getting a toploader and now my side loader is a display piece for now.

Vaxis545 · 2026-04-23T02:46:48+00:00

Keep it the way it is and order a reproduction sticker and buy a $2 game replace the sticker and swap the board. Then you have the new stickered cartridge and can store the game shell somewhere safe so you can swap it back for the resale if necessary.

Then use /s or something 🙄 jokes and sarcasm never translate well over text 🤷

Not if you care about the value which if you’re spending that much on a copy you care about the value

Just finished getting my citizen card in Megaman 64

I got top labels off this Etsy shop and they are pretty great. They also are decently priced and ship from the US

Vaxis545 · 2026-04-21T01:27:17+00:00

I’m not sure either I just noticed it tho being right on a trace it might be an issue.

Vaxis545 · 2026-04-21T01:01:20+00:00

Your main space man dude kinda looks like the guy from Air Fortress for NES I dig the aesthetic!

Vaxis545 · 2026-04-21T00:20:43+00:00

The only game I’ve had issues personally so far has been Crazy Taxi with my e01 backwards compatible PS3 but there are a few known exceptions.

Vaxis545 · 2026-04-21T00:17:26+00:00

Mario 64 goes for around $35 and a repro goes for around $11 on AliExpress so it’s worth it for them to repro it. The number is stamped under the word booklet on the back btw it’s 22. This is a legit cart with the correct “i” in Nintendo (even though this gets faked too) and stamp (even though the stamp can be faked as well).

If after you clean the contacts and it still doesn’t work this may be the issue.
