I love that there are lots of companies trying to keep physical copies of games alive, but the type of stuff I'm seeing right now (with both buyers and sellers) is the type of stuff that happens right before a big market correction.

Any word on the sega cd/saturn longboxes?

Yeah, I've heard arguments that gamefairy isn't really a "limited run" publisher and more akin to Soedesco, Badland Publishing, and Rising Star Games as they just publish smaller, indie games but not necessarily in limited quantities (at least not sold as such).

No one wanted to make a big deal that Limited Run Games was selling Switch games now? No one wanted any of them? I thought you guys buy all of these things? I would have bought Night Trap (for Switch) if I found out it existed before today! I only play Nintendo systems myself. I feel like if you don't like sports or first person shooters, there's not much reason to get a PS4 or Xbox One.

I ordered the special edition of Night Trap for the Switch, for no other reason than Howard Lincoln swore before Congress that Night Trap would never appear on a Nintendo system.

I currently own 128 PS4 titles that fall under neither of those categories (and only 7 that do).

[sheep2001]

And I’m at 365 for PS4, and I don’t play FPS and probably less than 20 sports titles.

I also like every game Nintendo makes more than any game that they don't make. In any case, why so little Switch love here?

The PS4 is my favorite current gen console and I own about 90 games...


None of them are sports or FPS titles.

There is nothing wrong with the Switch.  I just have no reason to buy one.  There is no exclusive "killer app" for me.  I will get one eventually, but at this point I might as well wait for a price drop along with a pack in game or two.

My only point in bringing up my PS4 game count (and I'm pretty sure Sheep and Wiggy provided theirs for the same reason) was to show that there is much more to the PS4 library than FPS's and sports titles.  The PS4 has been one of my favorite gaming systems to collect for due to the large number of unique and fun to play games from all sorts of different genres.  And thanks to companies like LRG, many of them are in physical form.

^^^ this.

LRG is a large part of why the PS4 is so appealing to me.

My PS4 collection is a bit over the 150 mark at the point I beleive, and 90% of it is physical copies of indie games. And I absolutely love it.

[Bear78]

I'm at 185 PS4 games and I'd say 85% of them are all indie / obscure games compared to AAA (FPS / Sports / Yearly installment) games.

Saying that, I do own a Switch and it's a fun little console.  But if there is something that is coming to both PS4 and Switch, 90% of the time I'm going to pick it up on the PS4. That increases to 100% of the time if it has online functionality, "switch tax", or requires content download to even have the complete game.

I also own a Xbox One and the only thing I have used it for in years is the Showtime Anytime app and that's only because it's not on PS4... Seriously, one of the biggest wastes of money I've ever spent in gaming.  If you love it, that's great for you, but as someone that owns all the current gen systems, it's a giant paperweight.

100% agreement.  Only bought it for Forza, but it seems they have basically turned the franchise into a "free to play" sort of affair, except that it still costs $60 PLUS whatever DLC cars you might want.  Fuck that console.
