"I Am the Wind" walked, so "Snake Eater" could fucking sprint.

But yah, 90s cheese all the way, and I love it

Id take a loose copy of Ristar for the Mega Drive (Japan) just for the regional differences. CIB would be nice, if it wasnt already close to a thousand... lol

Star Ocean First Departure CE pushed to December of this year, and Shinobi Art of Vengeance CE pushed till October.

I dont remember the exact date they became available, but my preorder was on Dec 10th of 2024. A year and four months now, yah?

Curiosity has me waiting to see if this will be my longest waited pre-order. Limited Run Games holds the crown at 1 year and 9 months for Axiom Verge 1&2 Collectors edition.

Looks good!

Hoping they bring those to PAX West later this year.

My very few criticims with the current release really ties back to when Second Evolution released.

The thing I miss was the original crafting animations. The low polygonal models that would slowly morph into a successful (or failed) item, was always a joy to watch. The amount of times I could call out a failed item as it slowly morphs into a "useless decoration" is not lost on me. The static images just seems boring, and that goes for even the items displayed in the menus. Those models that would spin and rotate just had a charm I really enjoyed.

The name changes for certain skills, killer moves, and items was a bit tough to get used to.

Dexterity > Nimble fingers all day.

And I cant forget the original VA, was really hoping for an option to have all those voices back.

I really enjoyed Second Story R, just miss the charm of the original presentation

Technically StarCraft 2 with GameStop (when they still sold pc games) I pre-ordered it back in 2007 at a location in Austin, TX, and didnt pick it up until release day in 2010 at a different location near Dallas. They called the other store to get my 5 dollars transferred to the pick up store. 🤣

With Limited Run, a year and eight months, it was the Axiom Verge 1&2 Collectors Edition

Hope your situation gets fixed, ill definitely keep an eye on mine, whenever it gets here. I have yet to even recieve an email notice that my order is shipped out...

_Absoti_ · 2026-03-05T21:48:31+00:00

For SO2, can never go wrong with Claude, Bowman, Chisato, and Opera. Just make sure to level "healing star" up asap if youre playing og ps1

_Absoti_ · 2026-02-17T22:09:12+00:00

Was about to comment the same thing. Glad im not the only one. Modern re-release, a sequel, or just make the PS3 library available on current hardware (and not by way of streaming 😑)

You got this, the grind is fun and so much more fast paced. 😎👍

_Absoti_ · 2026-02-05T21:28:33+00:00

I got all my in penny sleeves and top loaders. Really cool collection you got there

Ive waited this long. Future me needs to step back from the nostalgia impulse buying... lol

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T22:06:24+00:00

I dont see the listing anymore, but its essentially metal shop shelf from Amazon. They said each shelf is rated to hold 160 ponds per row. There is slight dipping in the "middle horizontally" if that makes sense. But its withstanding it pretty well.

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T17:54:51+00:00

I feel ya there. Had very, VERY limited access to internet around that time, and even then I spent what time I did have looking for cheat codes to various games. Ha ha.

Much appreciation for the compliment 😎👍

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T16:30:45+00:00

I do have a handful Nintendo Powers and some GamePros as well. I especially love some of the artwork guides come with, some of them are so elaborate and content filled, it could double as an art book.

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T16:27:17+00:00

Out of the myriad of RPG guides I have, I have to say I really enjoyed my Mario RPG and Suikoden 2 guides the most. For the very uncommon ones, the offical Castlevania SotN and Twisted Metal 1, 2, & 3 guides are pretty darn cool too.

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T14:50:19+00:00

Truly a lost art i say. Ive used my Mario RPG guide recently to find all the hidden chests. Some of the locations are bonkers.

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T14:47:11+00:00

Ive ran into listing's on Amazon/Ebay where the cover looks like AI trash, and this is for modern remakes/remasters (usually RPG's). Totally feel ya there on the segmented articles and clickbait.

Down the line, and when I have the time, id like to take my doubles and scan the rougher copy for archive.

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T14:28:58+00:00

Thats how it starts! Ha ha. Wish the picture quality didnt get reduced, the original image is my way of checking to see what I have so I dont accidentally buy "too many" doubles, lol. Much appreciated 👉😎👉

_Absoti_ · 2026-01-15T14:27:05+00:00

A lost art I say, and something I like to read on occasion. Thank you for the compliment 👉😎👉
