Who has a complete US DS collection? User updated towards end of thread

[Drexel923]

It's been a while....well, I'm about 40 games out now. Once my store is up and running I expect to get back into the scene.

[slapdash]

Docramon: Do you just go and buy all the games at retail when they come out for $29.99 and up?

Unlike DocRamon, I'm a $20 fiend -- i.e. I only VERY rarely buy a game for more than $20, but I tend to buy only new games for the newer systems. Hence, I DO miss out on some collectibles, but I can accumulate a lot of games without stretching myself out TOO badly, credit-wise.

Exception? The recent TRU buy-two-get-one-free sale... A pile of x $30 titles, where x is a number divisible by 3, means a pile of x $20 games now. Oy. So, some debt later, I'm up to 142 titles now.

But enough of that... I primarily wanted to bump this to ask what new stuff has shown up. For that matter, did RC Mini Rally or F24 Stealth or Harlem Globetrotters ever show up?

[DocRamon]

142 certainly isn't a bad haul for only spending $20 per game! i'm impressed.

as for those games... F24 and harlem globetrotters were both pushed back to january. mini rc rally... that's anybody's guess. supposedly it's out, but i don't think any stores carry it...? i don't know. i keep thinking that frys will get it eventually... they seem to get everything eventually... but everytime i go, it's not there.

it took a good bit of time for blades of thunder and poker pack to show up in stores too, so i'm not too concerned yet. if we get a few months into the new year and we're still in the dark on this one, then i'll be concerned.

[snes_collector]

But enough of that... I primarily wanted to bump this to ask what new stuff has shown up. For that matter, did RC Mini Rally or F24 Stealth or Harlem Globetrotters ever show up?

I've saw the GBA version of HG, so I'm assuming the DS one will make it out eventually.

[xmagxus]

started updating my personal list again recently ive fallen way behind im like 20 games away from a full collection counting the november releases. I'll catch back up mostly after the new system rush is over. Though some games i will NEVER buy such as strawberry shortcake and barbie. lol i'm content going for a 98 percent DS collection. Right now im at about a 95 percent complete collection though.

[DocRamon]

but... the manual for strawberry shortcake smells like strawberries. that's worth the price of admission alone!

okay, maybe not... but seriously, it was strange opening up that game for the first time...

[xmagxus]

Lol seriously does it have like a scratch and sniff manual or does it just smell slightly like that after you open it? if it really does I will totally buy it, that ups the collector value of it imo >.>

Kinda like that old earthbound strategy guide that had the scratch and sniff stickers in it

[DocRamon]

yep... seriously...

the cover of the manual feels sorta like scratch-and-sniff paper, it's definitely not normal, but you don't have to scratch anything to make it smell... from the second you open the thing, it hits you... the manual just smells like strawberries.

i think IGN even made a comment about it in their review of the game... accurately saying that it's the only good thing about the game.

That's pretty cool i'll have to pick that up then after the november rush (prolly try and get it in dec or january)... Though in regards to barbie I dont care what it ends up smelling like i'll never buy a barbie game lol >.>

[Capybara554321]

does anyone have a list i havent bought any games in a few weeks so im down like 10 games or so

[dbiersdorf]

We need updated pics. :D

[Drexel923]

Just picked up 3 more games, but am way out of the complete set. Its cool though.

Got some nice pieces traded into the store...a JPN Kirby Canvas Curse (with stylus included) and a complete JPN Electroplankton. Of course I took both home ;)

I also picked up a Limited Too Pink DS Lite bundle (comes with Princess Peach and Limited Too wrist strap)....perfect for any guy LOL

[sisko]

I just gave up on getting my complete DS collection. Recently there have been a wave of crap games that I will simply *never* play, such as My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Hannah Montana, Zach & Cody, Alex Rider, etc etc.

It just reached the point where the volumes of crap far outweigh the quality titles.

[tholly]

anyone have new updated pics of a complete collection as of 12/5/06....im curious to see what they look like now, all on a shelf.....

Sadly I must agree with you, I had always hovered around a 99 percent complete collection choosing to pass up on games like harry potter and fifa 07 which i had NO desire in getting but now i am content going for a 90 percent complete collection as there are like 20-30 games I am lacking now because I refuse to buy barbie, harry potter, some of the sports games, and others for the DS its hard enough keeping up with 360 and such anyway

I still collect DS games just not gonna go for a complete collection anymore

I've noticed that too. In the last few weeks theres been a shitload of really crappy titles. I guess we all knew that this was going to happen once Nintendo pushed all the support to the DS and basically killed off the GBA.

[Capybara554321]

well from what i can gatherthe list below is every game released can anyone tell me if anything is miss at all or was pushed back. im about 33 games behind but im hoping that i can catch up after christmas.

Good lord how depressing I didnt realize how far behind i've fallen

On the bright side i have all 90/90 xbox 360 games and 42/42 arcade games as well as 18 wii games already >.>



Here are all the DS games currently on store shelves that I do not own (i already ordered fullmetal and the other december releases though)
adding more to the bright side at least most of these games in my missing list are pure crap even by collector standards lol (barbie, that's so raven, etc)

Though I do wanna get that uno compilation and a couple others out of this list. I will slowly catch up I suppose my problem is though that I focus on a lot of systems all at once. I love the DS to death but I play my 360 more so thats my number one collecting priority, DS is now my third (wii is 2nd)

fifa 07
2006 fifa world cup

need for speed: carbon

EDIT: seems i'm 34 games behind when i previously thought i was only about 20 behind bleh. what makes it harder is a lot of these games I also get on other systems, happy feet and chicken little I have on wii, bionicle heroes, lego star wars and eragon i have on 360, etc. it's all a bit overwhelming >.>

[DreamTR]

Xmag: are you just going out and buying all the games that come out at retail? That's quite a substantial sum of money to spend!

Also, I have a demo copy of Advance Wars NOT FOR RESALE and NIntendogs RELAY versions for trade if anyone wants for DS.

[Capybara554321]

I just picked up March of the Penguins and a friend of mine ordered me mini rc from gamefly. and anyone know what happened to DocRamon he hasnt posted in awhile

[PapaStu]

I walked into our local Meijer this evening and was looking for some DS xmas presents for a friend when what did I stumble into? Why yes that infamous Mini RC Rally. Meijer had 2 copies and were selling them for 19.99. They only have one copy now. IF anyone NEEDS it, i'll swing back by and pick it up for em.

Lately ive been buying games at retail but only for the DS. I *USUALLY* try to get good prices on games when I can, I know a lot of xbox games i got when i used to collect for that system I got mega cheap from places like the circuit city clearance and such.

I get a little crazy around the holidays though what with all the systems and such that just came out. In fact today I picked up 5 more psp games (one of which was only 9 dollars yay) super swing golf for the wii, scarface collectors edition for the ps2 (finally gave in and bought it reluctantly - expensive for a ps2 game ><) oh and I picked up uno/skip-bo/uno freefall today cause it was the first time i saw it for sale somewhere that was not the internet.

[xmagxus]

wow I wasnt even aware mini rc rally was out, it wasnt on my personal DS games list, i'm not gonna bother adding it to my list of games missing though cause as soon as i saw it was out i checked amazon and they have very few left so i ordered it there. It actually looks like it could be a fun game too imo.

[DreamTR]

xmagnus: Yeah, but you have all 90 XBOx 360 games, that is DEFINITELY going nuts at retail because the majority of those are 59.99.

[Vectorman0]

I saw a variant a while back, but I forgot to post in here. It was the Pokemon Blue Rescue game, in a bigger box which said it came with a DVD of some sort. This was at Wal-Mart.

[shadowforte]

....I only have 2.....FF 3 and Super Mario 64....I need to get some more

[PapaStu]

PM sent!!!!!!!!!!11!!!11

:D

And it was gone before I got a chance to get it for Drex. People if you see this thing snag it, this ones impossible to find.

[DreamTR]

I also now have a Demo Copy of Meteos as well if anyone wants (NOT FOR RESALE version)

[xmagxus]

xmagnus: Yeah, but you have all 90 XBOx 360 games, that is DEFINITELY going nuts at retail because the majority of those are 59.99.

I rarely have to pay full retail for games... even 360 titles it's a lot of money still yeah, just not quite as much as everyone might be thinking ;p

[DreamTR]

xmagxus: Work at a store? Someone in the industry you know perhaps? =) That's how I end up with mine, buying 'em cheap and hording em....though I sell most of the PS2/PS3/PSP stuff I get in, hate those systems.

[xmagxus]

Well I generally buy them online because prices are pretty insane (IE google checkout at some online retailers gets you 10-20 dollars off depennding on if you pay 30+ or 50+ dollars for the game.
A couple of my xbox games I got for free for beta testing at xbox games at microsoft (i'd get the full version for free) but that was only like 3 games. I still pay full price for games at like bestbuy and stuff but I get a good deal on a large chunk of the stuff i buy overall.

[Capybara554321]

if anyone care wiffle ball is out. i gots it at toys r us of 20 bucks

[xmagxus]

wow thats the 2nd ds game I had no clue even existed >.>

Anyway what ever happened to animaniacs for the DS? I certainly don't wanna buy it on ebay since it had a UK release. If it had a US release its going to be nearly impossible to find... was it delayed or canceled or what?

[Capybara554321]

I emailed them awhile and one of them responded and said it was ready but were waitng for a firm relese date. i say that we all email thme to see if anyone can get a responce.

I saw the Lionel Trains game at Best Buy today. Looks like it went straight to their holiday value bin.

[PapaStu]

I saw the Lionel Trains game at Best Buy today. Looks like it went straight to their holiday value bin.

It was only 19 bucks to begin with.

[xmagxus]

that lionel game has actually been out for about a month now. Gamestop claims it just came out but gamestop generally knows nothing.

I was shopping for DS game cases and the guy was telling me what cases were good and how one eld 40 games "but you'll never need a case that holds that many" I told him how I had around 200 ds games with like 20ish I was still missing. He then proceeded to argue with me informing me that i obviously imported games because there was nowhere near 200 games available in the US for the DS.

LOL, his arrogance was so cute given how far off he was. He refused to believe otherwise so after about a minute of going back and forth I finally just said "Ok I must own a lot of imports, there arent that many games in the US"
The thing is I never even antagonized the guy or anything he just basically called me a liar when I said there were over 200 games available.

I wonder what he would have said If I had told him about my ps2 or xbox or 360 or ps one collections (or any other system for that matter. I bet he would have had a heart attack`if I told him I had 750-800 ps one games and knew "of" people (digitpress) that had over 1300.... lol

[Drexel923]

Just did a count of the games I am missing for a complete set...I am 81 games out O_O

Didn't think I got that far behind, but with the recent stampede of low profile crap I guess I know why. I mean Catz and Dogz I can sort of understand...they have been around for a while, but Horsez?? That is plain ridiculous. Then theres a game called Hamster Life, cause we all know that Hamsters are the most exciting animals out there...what with all the eating and sleeping and wheel running.

Thankfully I am making a list of every game when they come out so I don't forget anything when I go hunting in the future...but I don't really mind taking my time now ;)

Yeah they flooded the market in novemeber with ds games more than any other system. TONS of crap. I mean in late september there were maybe 5 games i didnt own and then by late novmeber there were like 30-40 apparently when i did my last count. I didnt stop buying games either I just slowed down on ds a bit but I am shocked i still fell that far behind. I can easily see how someone would slip to being 80 games behind. I agree there is a lot of low quality releases coming out but I think I draw a little further in than you since I actually bought that horsez/hamsters/dogz/cats series lol. I think doc ramone draws the line further in than us all though since I am 99 percent certain i wont buy barbie or bratz or winx club or those types of games lol.

[Vectorman0]

I was surprised to find at least three of both Mini RC Ralley and Texas Hold 'em Poker Pack by Summitsoft at FYE today. If anyone is still after them I would recommend checking there.

[Lothars]

Well I gave away my original DS to my cousin for christmas

and ordered a DS-lite

I am looking forward to playing with it, I basically stopped buying DS games for a while but I plan to get FF III and have picked up Portrait of Ruin which is an amazing game.

I cannot wait to get my DS-lite

how does everyone like Clubhouse Games? would you recommend it?

[Trumpman]

For any interested in DS collecting, I have a not for resale copy of Elite Beat Agents. My parents and brother got it for me for Christmas, and the copy they got used has not for resale on the box and a white sticker that says not for resale on the back of the cart. I don't really want to sell it because I love the game, but does anyone know what this is worth?

[Capybara554321]

has anyone seen micro machines?

[videogameking26]

I'm at 152 DS games which I thought was alot but I guess not, haven't been focusing on my DS collection but my PSP one that is currently at 182 games which I guess isn't alot either?...well only 7 off having the complete 360 collection as I have 84 currently so guess I do need to start looking for more DS games I'm missing.

So guys how many total DS games are their in the U.S. right now?...200+?

there are around 225 DS games give or take 5.

And actually you do have a lot of DS games and a ton of psp games. You have more psp games than me thats for sure =p

[Capybara554321]

so i was just wondering if any unknown games may have sneeked out lately?

[PapaStu]

A few weird ones.... including WiffleBall published by DSW which i've only found in TRU's, Fossil Leage: Dino Tournament (published by D3). I'm not seeing it in stores, but its on all the online sites.

Cake Mania which comes out in a few weeks is going to be a bitch to get too.

[Capybara554321]

I just got this email from codemasters about bubble bobble. Im not sure if i should just keep it as a collecters type item or what?

Thank you for submitting your recent request to Codemasters Customer Services concerning Bubble Bobble.

You have previously contacted us with regard to the faulty version of Bubble Bobble, whereby the New Age mode of the game cannot be played beyond level 30.

We would, however, also like to apologize for the length of time that this process has taken.

In order to get a head start on replacing the game we are emailing you now with instructions on the replacement process. Firstly, we need you to return your existing faulty version, so that we can remove it from circulation. To enable you to do this, we will send you a reply paid envelope. Can you, therefore, supply us with your full postal address and telephone number, so that we can mail you this envelope directly?

IMPORTANT. Please note that we are unable to ship to PO Box addresses. Can you also please state whether the address is a business or residential address.

My local TRU has a bunch of DS game on clearance ($9.98), off the top of my head:

Metroid Prime Pinball
Texas Hold 'Em
Bust A Move DS
Fossil League: Dino Tournament
ATV Quad Frenzy

I know there were more....I'm planning on going back tomorrow...when I do I'll write them down. On a side note, they also had some great GBA games for $9.98 as well:

Gunstar Super Heroes
Sigma Star Saga

[orrimarrko]

I figured folks who frequent this thread would know...

I'm curious as to what interesting DS items are out there that people would consider "worth mentioning."

Some that come to mind are demos, others are just packaging curiosities.

For example:

I think that the Metroid Prime demo and the Zelda: Twilight Princess demos are worth adding to any DS collection.

Similarly, there are neat packaging things like the UNO/Skip-Bo that comes packaged with the deck of mini UNO cards. Or, the Madagascar/Over the Hedge 2-pack.

What do you guys think about this stuff?

My real question is, does anyone have a fairly comprehensive list of this type of stuff that is out there?

Also, there are some updates that need to be made to the list of released DS games (but I'm sure you already knew that.)

Thanks,
Orri~

Major League Baseball 2K7 is coming out next month...I'm wondering if that will be worth picking up. I've not really seen any write-ups about it yet.

[Snapple]

My local TRU has a bunch of DS game on clearance ($9.98)

I saw a few $10 games at my TRU as well. The one that I picked up was Snood 2.

[orrimarrko]

I figured folks who frequent this thread would know...

I'm curious as to what interesting DS items are out there that people would consider "worth mentioning."

Some that come to mind are demos, others are just packaging curiosities.

For example:

I think that the Metroid Prime demo and the Zelda: Twilight Princess demos are worth adding to any DS collection.

Similarly, there are neat packaging things like the UNO/Skip-Bo that comes packaged with the deck of mini UNO cards. Or, the Madagascar/Over the Hedge 2-pack.

What do you guys think about this stuff?

My real question is, does anyone have a fairly comprehensive list of this type of stuff that is out there?

Come on...I know some of you know this stuff.

Doc?

Thanks,
Steve

I own Mini RC Rally. I snagged one at Meijer back in December.

MicroMachines V4 and F24 Stealth Fighter both come out on 2/20

Excellent info - thanks!

I'll update my list.

[orrimarrko]

So, that leaves these mysteries...

B-17 Flying Fortress / Silent Running (supposed to have been out 11/06)
Disney's Herbie (supposed to have been out 11/06)
Rafa Nadal Tennis (supposed to have been 12/06 - available in Europe for sure)
Risk / Battleship / Clue / Connect 4 / Trouble / Sorry (supposed to have been out 10/06)
Uno 52 (supposed to have been out 1/07)

Anyone know if they were just pushed back?

[PapaStu]

Uno 52

Theres a listing up on the EB/GS website for a Herbie's Rescue Rally thats slated for 3/20. My guess is that it's the same game.

Amazon lists Uno 52 as coming out on 3/6

Amazon lists a Risk/Clue/Perfection/Aggravation coming out on 3/7

[frap]

Actually, MicroMachines V4 is already out... as is F24 Stealth Fighter. I saw F24 at my local TRU and I own a copy of V4.

-frap

[orrimarrko]

Ok, we'll chalk up these as "Announced":

Disney's Herbie's Rescue Rally (tentative title?)
Uno 52
Risk / Battleship / Clue / Connect 4 / Trouble / Sorry

I can 100% confirm that the Micro Machines IV is out. Walmart has it for $19.82.

That leaves these:

B-17 Flying Fortress / Silent Running (supposed to have been out 11/06)
Rafa Nadal Tennis (supposed to have been 12/06 - available in Europe for sure)

Anyone?

[Capybara554321]

codemasters sent another email saying that they will just send me another copy of the game and that i should get rid of the other one myself.

[orrimarrko]

Confirmed in GameStop 2/22:

F24 Stealth Fighter
Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja
Meteos: Disney Magic
Trioncube

Add them to the list folks!

I have been following this thread from the beginning but stopped buying DS games about 6 months ago. Now I want to resume buying them as they come out and go for a complete a collection. I would like some advice from you expert DS collectors here. Can you suggest a list of games that are out already and that I should buy them before they become impossible to find? My plan is to first pick up the old ones that are uncommon and leave the common ones till last. Thanks for helping!

[orrimarrko]

I certainly could be mistaken, but I wasn't aware that any DS games were that difficult to find.

The only two that you'll have to resort to eBay for (that I know of) are:

Electroplankton
Monopoly/Yahtzee/Boggle/Battleship

Everything else is relatively available (again - I think.)

Steve

[Vectorman0]

I've got info on a new variant. Castlevania DoS has been reprinted by Konami, "Konami's Best." The cover is a screenshot of the old cover. LOL

The Summitsoft games can be really tough to find.

[xmagxus]

madden 06 is pretty darn rare in stores (at least in my region)

madden 06 is probably the rarest *sports* game on the DS.

For some reason they printed tons of copies for 05 and 07 but 06 got a pretty small print run and is hard to find outside of ebay/internet.

Also i noticed the Uno compilation is pretty uncommon., as is "catz" which is oddly rare compared to the other 3 games in its series (dogz, horsez, and hamsterz are all very easy to find in stores but catz isn't)

Again i am basing my comments on regional experience of where i live not off actual production numbers.

I have slowed way down on DS collecting im still missing around 25 games from a complete collection and am barely keeping up because i focus on wii and 360 predominately now.

My suggestions from fairly recent releases:

meteos: disney edition
lunar knights (will be rare i think)
inuyasha (traditional style rpg pretty sure it will be rare)
trion cube (cool little puzzle game)

The problem is all the DS collectors I know of are dropping off the planet or backing out of the system.

Im not sure where doc ramon has been but ever since digitpress had tons of problems and was down for almost a month he's been gone (he might not know the site is back)

Most people seem to have backed out of ds collecting for various reasons. I still collect for it but will not be completing it. I will never buy barbie or bratz lolof the 25 games I dont have for the ds right now there are like 7 of those that i will *never buy*

[orrimarrko]

I'm pretty fortunate here I think, because there really isn't any game that I can't find at retail (I don't believe.)

What I'm looking for are some of the rare demos and giveaways (I would appreciate anyone who has a list).

For example - the Zelda Twilight Princess demo!!

[Mezmoron]

As of now, I'm only 7 games short of a complete DS collection to date.

Want to know anything about DS games/system, I pretty much know it all. Been collecting it for a while.

Hi Ken,

Do you know of a list of demos, exclusives, etc - anything DS that would be "collectable".

For example - the Metroid Prime: Hunters demo, the Zelda: Twilight Princess demo, etc..

Thanks!

Steve

[Mezmoron]

Well, lots of games have "demo versions"

There are (that I know of):
Super Mario 64
Brain Age
Big Brain Academy
Yoshi's Island DS
Wario: Master of Disguise
Kirby Squeak Squad
Elite Beat Agents
Tenchu: Dark Sercet
New Super Mario Bros.
Tetris DS
Metriod Prime Hunters
Diddy Kong Racing DS
etc. etc.

These are the obvious store demos.

There are also other demo carts:

DS Download Station Volume 1
DS Download Station Volume 2
DS Download Station Volume 3
DS Download Station Volume 4
Nintendogs: Download/Relay version

There are many preorder items and promotional items available.

For example:
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All stylus
Lost in Blue 2 stylus
Nintendo DS braclets (pink/black)
Castlevania 25th Anniversary Pack
Mini Uno cards with Uno/Skip-Bo/Free Fall
Spectrobs stylus
Nintendo DS t-shirts
Nintendo DS lanyard
etc. etc.

There are also pack-in games with certain DS systems:
Animal Crossing
Mario Kart DS
Nintendogs: Best Friends

I hope some of this helps!

Ken
