    That Yoshi's Island is the crown israeliteel of this lot. The best I got is a Gamecube with no cables on the side of the road, and a Nintendo 64 at Goodwill for like 15 bucks.

      It was EVO with the instruction booklet, but yeah number 2 for sure. I'm amazed how much the price for it is considering they made millions.

    It only matters to collectors and youtubers.
    People who play games just get a cart

      I wouldn’t call myself a collector but I like having the boxes, especially for Japanese games because they look really cool and the manuals have obscure artwork in them.

    I play games instead of letting boxes collect dust on a shelf

      Why not both?
      Loose carts for gens 3 and 4 don't bother me, but I wouldn't be caught dead with a "disc only" for consoles that take discs.

    Am I rich? Or should I open it and crack open a cold one with the boys and play?

    to keep this flimsy shit pristine for 30+ years requires severe autism, and i refuse to financially support that.

    Collecting was fun before ~2016 when youtubers showing off their collections started popping out and moronic sheeple just bought whatever they talked about, it has been absolute cancer for a couple years now with morons thinking they're "investors"

      >morons thinking they're "investors"
      god its so pathetic the mentality of: "if i don't want it later, i'll just sell it for more!"
      so many people with closets full of "It's worth a lot if I sell it!" and only a fraction who actually sell things and not their parents cleaning house.

    >complete in box
    If the box is just shitty cardboard designed to be thrown away I don't really care. I want the cartridge and the manual. If it's a mid-00s or later game with an actual case I do care about that. I won't buy loose carts or discs or cases in wretched condition. israeliteel cases are different because those are easily replaced as long as the inserts aren't destroyed.

    I don't care when it's cartridges, but I need a case for discs and a shitty one that didn't come with the game is disappointing. If it's missing things like a manual then it usually doesn't bother me.

    It isnt usually a biggie unless its a cool box or nes old.
    Though i wish i could get the box and manual for clayfighter sculptor's cut.
