Description Once again it's not art but these are some of the games I collected for the Nintendo Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, and original Xbox. I have additional lesser titles for each of those systems as well but these are the better ones I own.

I don’t like collecting for the GBA or any handheld consoles because it can be very hard to get complete copies of games and their values are too unstable, I also never buy those games new since I don’t set times to play any of them. The complete GBA titles I have are: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Golden Sun, Genso Suikoden Card Stories, Fire Emblem & FE: The Sacred Stones x2 (one new), Shining Force, boktai 2, Sword of Mana (new), FF Tactics Advanced, I & II, IV, Super Robot Taison 2, Zelda: The Minish Cap, Super Mario Bros. 3. I also have many others that are cartridges only like Ogre Tactics, Riviera, Gunstar Superheros… or some that has everything but, like the other two Castlevania titles, Super Puzzle Fighters II… and ever since the DS and PSP came out, I own way more games for those systems than GBA, but I don’t consider any of them to be very interesting since they are all pretty easy to obtain.

There are very few games worth collecting on the old Xbox, and it sucks that most of them don’t even work on the 360. I held on to a few for keeps like Kakuto Chojin (bad game I recently got for free, it’s slightly limited due to a recall), Stubbs the Zombie x4 (one new, highly reviewed, limited, but cheap), Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Halo 2 LE, Panzer Dragoon Orta. I ran out of game to list after the first three, as the last two are pretty much worthless, I also own some others like both Otogi games, Kingdom Under Fire, and the more popular Xbox games. The only other game I know that’s worth collecting on the system is Air Force Delta Storm, but due to the fact the game is not very good and I don’t want to play it I have yet to buy a copy.

The Gamecube’s collection of worthy games doesn’t come close to the PS2’s, but it’s not too bad. I have: Ikaruga, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance x3 (two new), Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II x3 (not sold in many stores), Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (new but outer box really beaten up), Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphonia x2 (one new first edition), Metriod Prime (new first edition), Zelda: The Wind Waker (new first edition), and Zelda: Collector’s Edition x3 (2 new, giveaways with system). Other Gamecube games I have are top sellers like Smash Brothers Melee, Mario Kart: DD, Soulcaliber 2… I’m still looking to get the likes of Cubivors, NCAA College Basketball 2k3, & Baten Kaitos Orgins among others.

I hardly have a great overall collection since I don’t like to keep mass produced games and I’m only collecting what I want in my personal collection. Now I’m not as motivated to get games for these three consoles because I won’t get to play them, though if a good opportunity for getting a worthy title to add to my existing bunch presents itself, I would try to take advantage of it.

Is it? I haven't checked the price on that one for years but the last time I looked it wasn't worth much, I guess it must be harder to get now. I see you sure like your halo games.

which is the best game ever

JJRRS In reply to Demon-Mask [2008-11-29 17:30:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I must have own that game 3-5 different times/copies, with the latest one being bought for about $5 with the first Golden Sun only because they both had their original boxes.

It's a good game and very old school Castlevania, unlike the newer games that tries very hard to include new ideas, not that there's anything wrong with them. I hope you saw the rest of the games I collected too.

You think? I haven't been playing much games lately, though I am still buying plenty, but there are very few xbox games that are worth the effort.

Nice collection. I have 10 of the games that are displayed in this pic..

Though, I don't really see what the deal is with having more than one of the same game.

JJRRS In reply to KirbySnacks [2008-07-27 01:18:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, it's no big deal really, I just buy all the games I come across that's worth the money I'd pay. I figure if I paid $30-50 for a game to play it and liked it, it is well worth $10 to buy it again, especially when it's worth more than that elsewhere. Most people find that to be weird but it's just the way I buy games I guess.

I'd say it's a waste of money, but eh, it's your call, I guess.

JJRRS In reply to KirbySnacks [2008-07-27 01:52:46 +0000 UTC]

Ouch, waste of money you say? I'm not offended by that or anything since I can see why you would say that, but it's anything but wasting money for me most of the time.

For example, I have like 15+ copies of Fire Emblem: PoR for the gamecube that I bought for about $10 each, right now they sell online for between $25-35 each, I hardly think that's a waste of money. All the games I buy may not have that kind of increase in value, but almost all of the games I got are worth more than what I paid, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them.

Ahh, the Zelda promotional disc with 3 Zelda classics in one!

My friend is also the lucky owner of that title. It's too bad he's not a serious collector, he is the type he sells old games to pay for new ones, rather than keep his collection all together.

JJRRS In reply to tails-sama [2007-08-22 04:04:56 +0000 UTC]

There's more copies of that Zelda disc than you would think, gamestop has a huge supply of it in their inventory and in many stores (both the 2 games promo version and the consol giveaway version I have), I have no idea why they don't just lower the price but even new copies are not worth as much as they did a few years back because it's quite easy to obtain.

Heh, well the fancy cover made it appear a special thing.
If I ever get a Gamecube, I would love to get that, along with Wind Waker.

Fancy cover? the covers on those can't be more plain... Though if you do like Zelda, then it's certain a good item to have.

Yeah, the gba games' values can be screwed-up... (which is why I sometimes love to go to the pawn shops in town looking for cheap games. I've found some gems... somewhat cheap $8.00 they're cheaper now ♥ I bought pokemon sapphire, Zelda 4-swords/Link to the Past and final Fantasy I & II dawn of souls for $8 each... And at the time that I bought them, they were twenty-some bucks in the same condition... And last year, I found pokemon leaf green (no box, manual or wireless adapter though *though I don't intend to wireless adapt, can't you just use two ds-es??*) for $3 at a thrift store. Go to them for games and sometimes you might find a deal... or find an obscenely-overpriced NES...
(a friend of mine bought Bloodrayne for $0.50 a few months ago...)

JJRRS In reply to ithydoodles [2007-08-15 03:52:43 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I guess all handheld games just don't get the same attention as consol games to have stable values, I doubt DS or PSP games will be any different which is why I don't worry too much about getting rid of those games when I no longer play them.

ithydoodles In reply to JJRRS [2007-08-15 21:13:39 +0000 UTC]

Stupid pokemon games with no boxes or manuals for 29.99... when I paid more than twenty bucks less for each of the two that I have for gba...

Guess that's it's all 'supply and demand' (or just demand?)

I might buy a few copies of that new Disgaea game for the psp... even though I don't have one myself... I have at least three friends who'd like to have that game (and maybe the ps2 game might have another price-break...)

Unless you were to only buy the can't miss short printed PS2 titles likes ones published by atlus here in the U.S. (which is maybe one or two titles a year) it's never a good value to get games new at even close to retail price. Even in those cases it's not going to be hard to save more money and find those limited titles used and complete at about 30-50% off before their prices go up.

JJRRS In reply to Eswaranma [2007-08-07 03:05:58 +0000 UTC]

It's just a trading cards game on GBA based on the rules of the Genso Suikoden Trading Cards game in Japan. It kind of follows the story of Suikoden II while using the pre-III card sets for battles, it's just like any other trading cards video game except you get a minor Suikoden story and the series' characters on the cards.

JJRRS In reply to DeadSeaGospel [2007-07-31 05:40:58 +0000 UTC]

Four actually, got a sealed copy just for fun. It's pretty hard to find them so when I got a chance to get them at less than $10 each and didn't have any better options, I just grabbed them. If there's any old Xbox game that may become sort of a collector's item, that should be it. It's said to be a really good game that didn't sell well, I think right now it maybe easier to find new copies than used ones because of it. Being backward compatible should keep it from getting completely forgotten, unlike Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 or Kingdom Under Fire. Genso Suikoden Card Stories is not that fun, but it's a Suikoden game that had some sort of gameplay element so I had to import it to check it out for myself.

Correction: I don't know when the latest 360 patch was released, but now Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is playable on the 360 after the new update, it's a terrible emulation as the characters flickers during the action but at least such a good game can be played now.

I don't like to pass up a bargain if it's right on front of me in most cases, so I ended up with more games than I need sometimes. Funny thing about the Castlevanias, of all those games shown that are opened, only Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance are bought conventionally brand new from a store, yet they are the only ones that I no longer have the games for, I got rid of them about 3 yeas ago to save up for the launch of the DS, but I do still have everything in the boxes so it would be cheaper if I did want to complete them.
