Starting a new collecting quest for 2016

[TDIRunner]

All my Saturn games are JP.  Mainly since I really only buy shmups, fighters, racers, and platformers.  I don't need English for them.

Any specifics you would recommend?  Lately I've been getting some Saturn imports ever since I bought my Action Replay which allows me to play Japanese games.  For the most part, I'm pretty much just looking for games that were not released in the US, but where the language barrier doesn't matter (so most RPGs are out, but any of the categories you mentioned would usually work).

I have been avoiding Saturn collecting, because there are way too many pricey titles. 

All of the US released RPG's go for around 200 -300 bucks.

If your going for all Japanese games too, there's some pricey terrible games like Waltz

And if you like shooters watch out for the insanely expensive Hyper Duel, Cotton Boomerang & Radiant Silvergun.

Those shmups you listed are actully not that expensive as they were a few years ago.  Pretty reasonable prices on them.

10 more off the list. Brings my total to 46. Can't go wrong for $124

Is your goal to finish the set before the end of the year, or before the end of the MONTH?

Lol I'd have it done by the end of the month if I could afford it I'm just trying to knock off as many cheap titles as possible this month so I can save for the more expensive titles.

Looking good!! Do you have a shelf shot yet of everything up there?

Yeah, I get that, but I've always been a big believer that if you are truly going for a full set, you should knock out the more expensive titles first and get the cheap ones last.  I believe this for a few reasons.  1) Most of the expensive titles are only going to get more expensive.  2) the cheap titles will probably stay about the same price down the road once you get around to them 3) if for any reason you decide not to complete your full set, you won't be stuck with a bunch of cheap commons that you might not have bought otherwise.

But of course, to each their own.  You obviously know what you are doing since I've seen many pictures of your collection which is quite impressive.  Also, what I said above doesn't apply if for any reason you expect the big name games to drop in price down the road.

Either way, good luck.

What is that blank game on the far left?

Not yet I'm still waiting for about 40 in the mail.

This is the only way my brain will allow me to do such things as well.  If I were only down to about 10 games, and they were all $200+, then I would probably just say screw it, close enough lol

I would in that case probably burn the discs myself (and maybe print the manual and covers).
Then get real ones if they pop up cheap.
