I regret slimming down my NES collection. I've found a new love for it, but now I'm torn between rebuilding and buying a flashcart
just buy an everdrive or emulate, fuckin retard
>>12466270I can't emulate. Reinserting the cart 35 times to make it read is a vital part of the experience
>>12466257if you care about playing video games buy a flash cart, if you care about looking at things on your shelf that literally only you on earth will care that you have buy real games.
>>12466385>if you care about looking at things on your shelf that literally only you on earth will care that you have buy real games.Well yeah, I own the games I do because I care about them
>>12466385Why cant i do both?
>>12466417>After all, it's my money... why shouldn't I waste it?
>>12466445Not a waste if its something you enjoy.
>>12466270>STOP ENJOYING PHYSICAL MEDIAIm an emufag and I still think this is fucking retarded. "but its pointless" yeah so is playing videogames.
>>12466282May i reccomend a solution for your autismo? a bullet?
>>12466417>>12466401I never said you couldnt have both, my statements dont contradict each other. If you want shit on your shelf put shit on your shelf are you not a grown ass adult you should be able to make these decisions for yourself.
>>12466495It is if you could easily enjoy it for free with emulation
>>12466675Except then i don't get to enjoy the physical attributes/hardware. It's like telling someone they wasted money on a framed picture when they could have printed out a copy and taped it to the wall.
>>12466282You mean the tape?
>>12467047No one has ever used this term to describe NES cartridges. Why do larping zoomers insist on pretending they did?
>>12467150Yes they have. There was specifically a game store that began in the nes days known as "Game Tapes Unlimited".
>>12467293games on cassette tape did exist but not for NES
>>12467306Though technically they did on famicom.
>>12467293>This shitpost is specifically a cope known as "zoomie cope unlimited"
>>12466257How many games did you own at the peak of your collection? How many do you have left now? Did you sell them for a profit?I've also sold a few games from my collection, but mostly the ones I didn't really care about. I bought some more lately but only the ones I could find for cheap. If there's a game I want but it's too expensive to get a phisical copy, I just get a bootleg cart from china at a fraction of the cost.I don't really care if it's not an original cart, I just want it on my shelf.I also have emulators and a cracked snes mini with a ton of games on it. I just like to have a variety of options available.
>>12466257I regret selling off entire game collections but never slimming down. Too many mediocre games sitting on a shelf do not bring joy. Keep your favorites and use a flashcart for the rest.
>>12466257OP is a faggot.
>>12466257How expensive are the games you sold now? I'd slowly rebuild if you can do that. You can still find games for cheap but it takes time and effort.
>>12467150You're the one larping
>>12469405>battery should last at least 5 yearsalmost 40 years later and my zelda cartridge still saves
>>12467150Ask me how I know you weren't alive back then.
>>12469497I don't think people really understood lithium batteries back then, any other battery would probably be dead in months to a couple years even without being used at all.
>>12469547How do you know I wasn't alive back then?I was born in 1989 btw
>>12469554Because you seem to think that "Atari tapes" and "Nintendo tapes" weren't even a thing, let alone common parlance.
>>12467150>"challenges the narrative">gets promptly blown the fuck outWhy do all of your posts end up like this?
>>12469405only retarded boomers called them that so it was never official. you can tell thats a retarded boomer concerned about how long the expensive "tape" his turdlennial is begging him for will last.he heard a rumor about them only lasting 5 years at some boomer gathering no doubt.
>>12470265also you can tell the nintendo employee knew he was dealing with a retard as soon as he said tapes, and proceeded to immediately tell him its not a tape.he also felt the need to tell the tapetard not to step on them, he should have told him not to eat the tapes while he was at it.
And here comes the angry samefagging. Another narrative successfully challenged, amirite?
>>12470265>source: I saw it in a dream
>>12466257Only games here I would keep are cv1 and tetris

>>12470785I was there and interacted with tapeboomersthey are still around and are the ones that bring me out vhs when I ask if they have any games
>>12471198>the ones that bring me out vhs when I ask if they have any gamesNah, this doesn't happen.
>>12471642who are you? why are you telling me things that regularly happen to me don't?or are you just a dipshit retard who likes to prattle on about things you don't know about?Theres enough faggots like you around so stop it.
>>12467150Gaming used to be extremely anti-normie. Our boomer parents didn’t really understand what a cartridge was so they used the language that they already knew to describe them, aka a tape as in a vhs tape. Gaming was seen as the ultimate loser hobby, and you’d often hear the same boomers talking about tapes also saying that playing videogames will rot your brains.
He boughtAlso got Rad Racer 1 and 2
>>12471878>why are you telling me things that regularly happen to me don't?Because they didn't.
>>12467309Only if the user made them. There were never any games commercially released on tape for Famicom.
>>12471914>Gaming was seen as the ultimate loser hobbyYes and no. I refuse to further elaborate.
>>12471914My parents are baby boomers and they just called them "games." They of course never said "cartridge" or "game pak," but never in my life have I ever heard anyone of any age use the word "tape" to describe a game.
>>12471914>Gaming used to be extremely anti-normieSpeaking from my experience as a 90s kid only for adults was gaming seen as odd. I totally expected that i would grow out of liking video games when I became a teenager. Also I did experience the everything is a "Nintendo" phenomenon from older people whether it be a Sega or Sony console.
>>12466385this. buy a flashcard and put the money into the stocket market, buy an etf or whatever. this hobby is all about the games anyway and not about rotting electronics and plastic on your shelve.
>>12471914Look at this underage pseud. Look at they/them and laugh.
>>12466257Yeah well imagine being a CIB collector
>>12473036>They of course never said "cartridge" or "game pak,"Neither did we. We called them games or tapes.>but never in my life have I ever heard anyone of any age use the word "tape" to describe a game.This isn't surprising, as you're not Gen X.
>>12473082>this hobby is all about the games It's about all aspects around the game too. Thats like saying a car guy should only care about driving and none of the other surrounding interesting elements.
>>12472274Hudson released 3 compilations of games on cassete that worked with Family Basic.
>>12475123Flash cart owners modded their Skyline GTR for 1000hp and race it on the track every other weekend. Physical game collectors bought the $10,000 carbon fiber cupholder option on their overpriced Porche 911 with 80 miles and have never driven it.
>>12475141You're thinking collectards
