So, my collecting of PS, PS2, PSP, NES, SNES, Genesis, GB, GBC and GBA games has been going fantastically to compliment my PC collection, I'm nearly done with everything I want for a few of those consoles.
I've decided next to get an old Wii and a classic GameCube controller as the older Wiis are backwards compatible with GameCube so I can collect for two systems with one. These are the games I'm interested in for both systems, can you name any others?
Both systems are currently reasonably cheap to start collecting for, so my plan is when I'm pretty happy with my collections for both systems, I'll get a backwards compatible PS3 with a memory card adapter to replace my PS2 and collect the 70 or so games I want on that system.
I don't think I'll ever reach current gen on anything but PC…

Uhh sure thing, guy.

I got the charts, if the thread needs them.
Now those are some nice numbers.

I actually consulted the Holla Forums wiki in making my lists, but generally speaking if the game came out on PS2, I already have it there. I have like 300 PS2 games. At a glance, the Resident Evil games, Beyond Good and Evil, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Summoner 2, Timesplitters 1 and 2, the Viewtiful Joe games, Baroque, Bully, Dokapon Kingdom and Phantom Brave I have all for the PS2 already.
I realize in some cases the Wii version would be a slight upgrade, but I generally don't like buying the same game multiple times and usually avoid HD remasters with certain exceptions.

Not the Gamecube, when even common, bestseller titles are a good $40+ these days.
I do hope though that you're planning on trying to avoid paying full price for things. Even these days, if I'm patient enough, I can still find the occasional Gamecube game a lot cheaper than average. However, some stores have been catching on more, and things I used to stand a chance to see cheap are now on-par with standard scalper prices (a few years back I could find Windwaker for $17 or so, as ell as Super Mario Sunshine for $12; now both at the same store are a good $40). Unfortunately, some games you really don't stand a chance to find cheap regardless, particularly for the ones that had sold poorly. Skies of Arcadia Legends, Fire Emblem: PoR (that one shot up in price after Awakening got popular), Baten Kaitos Origins, and Lost Kingdoms you're not going to see much and are likely to really cost you a pretty penny. At least for the Wii you'll stand a much better chance of finding stuff cheap overall, but Xenoblade, Metroid Prime Trilogy (especially an original steelbook copy), and Fire Emblem: RD are all going to be hard to find for cheap; Fragile Dreams has also hit about $40 preowned where I live and is likely to just go up. I'd also recommend against playing Arc Rise Fantasia with the official dub (the English voicing is notoriously bad and the official release doesn't have dual audio; a fanmade undub patch exists for use with emulation or a modded Wii), and most Tales fans really do not like Tales of Symphonia 2.

You can't get MegaMan 9/10 anymore for the Wii/Nintendo, only available on the PSN for the PS3. I also suggest to get Twilight Princess for GameCube, The Wii one is shit. The Wii Kirby games are expensive as fuck. Get Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz for the Wii/GameCube. Those games are fun as hell. Cheers.

Should also mention that Wiiware games are digital only, so you can't exactly "collect" them, at least without giving NoA money for digital copies
The old one that reddit pretty much took over, or the attempted 8ch specific one? If the latter, I'd be surprised that was still worked on, or even still active.

Yeah, I switched to Emulators with Modded controllers over 6 years ago. The original hardware is nice, but once you learn how to set up emulators correct and accurate/no lag with the right controllers. There is nothing that beats it. Collecting will get more and more expensive due to how much faggots are in the collecting scene. You are more then correct having to pay 40 plus for any good games on the GameCube/Wii.

Huh, really? I was basing my impression on ebay prices honestly. I'd recently heard that now was the time to get into collecting for the wii as the games are as cheap as they're ever going to be, you think PS3 is cheaper though?
I'm also interested in Dreamcast and Saturn, but I just assumed collecting for those would be way more expensive and complicated.
Julian Perez
The PS3 is a lot easier and cheaper to collect for cause of the massive quantity of individual copies there are and Sony player base being less collection based then Nintendo supporters. Demons Souls is still like 20 bucks on ebay.
