Those VB cases look great.  That's probably the most well known system that I own absolutely nothing for.

Yeah, those VB cases do look sweet. Can you scan those Switch games? I can scan Brain Training myself, but if you are scanning the other two anyway... By the way, "World Classics" doesn't automatically turn into "Double Dragon and Kunio-kun: Retro Brawler Bundle" and include the translated Famicom games, does it? I would assume not.

I might need few extra ones (2-3 protos, ?x homebrew, possible everdrive like thingie).

That is the plan.
Also  scanning other games tonight.

Actually no idea how they differ.
I'll ask GameFaqs if someone there happens to be not pissy and answers...
Here are quick scans of the backs if that gives you any clue on the answer.
Better scans coming later today after I flatten the covers a bit.

From what I understand, all versions have the same games and can have the menu language in English or Japanese. All versions have the US NES Double Dragon Trilogy, Crash N the Boys, Super Dodge Ball, River City Ransom and Renegade. Those games are the same no matter what. They all also have 11 Famicom games. In the Japanese/ Asian version, these are in Japanese, as expected. Now for the American version, which is digital only and called "Double Dragon and Kunio Kun: Retro Brawler Bundle", they actually went all out and created new translations for all 11 Famicom games, even if they already had an NES version.

But I'm pretty sure you have to buy both versions if you want the Japanese and translated versions, much like Spellunker Party and Collection of Mana.

Annual LRG box. Too bad I have LESS free time than I normally do (which was already nearly none).

Despite the current mess with Gamestop, I was still able to receive my RE3 remake collector's edition.  It's very similar in quality to the RE2 variant last year, although admittedly this statue isn't quite as good, and the map feels like a lot cheaper paper.  Either way, I'm glad to have this, 
I also bought the PS4 variant for my friend's upcoming b-day.  But  decided to get that from Best Buy so I could get the steelbook for myself.

I don't have nearly as much nostalgic attachment to RE3 as I do to RE2, so I didn't pre-order it.  I still plan to get it and play it, but probably after the price comes down a little.

I'm with you on the nostalgia factor.  3 was my least favorite of the original 4 games (1-3, CV).  But I really loved the statue and item box from RE2 and this is just more of the same.  And I like the game enough to warrant a preorder....but I am looking forward to a likely Code Veronica remake far more than this.

Being on lock down has given me some time to find some great items and have them all delivered to my home.  I am so glad my wife agreed to my last item because it was one I wanted to get for a while.  All CIB and I am expecting more later this week. 






And the one I really wanted a CIB original copy of MUSHA, I love my wife.

These VB cases look great! Did you have to Preorder? On the customgamecases site it just says "Coming Soon". I've been trying to get the few that I have into some cases.

[Arseen]

It was a Indigogo campaign.
Hopefully these come for sale later as I might need few extras.

Went all out for my birthday hehehe . Dying to scan the cover for the great ace attorney...

[Taketheword]

Long time no see! I don’t collect as much as I used to, but I had to post this one. Got it in the mail today!
