Great pick ups bro! I love all the walking dead games. You are spot on with the “choose your own adventure books” reference. Such cool games to play. So many morale choices that must be made. I’m glad you enjoyed the MM2, and I hope we can meet up again and hang out again soon. That cleaning kit is the first gen one which is really cool.

I remember playing RE Umbrella Chronicles on the Wii, it was a fun little spin on RE 0, 1, and 3 that was in short segments that retold the stories of each game and actually had a new story on Umbrella’s downfall. RE7 I feel definitely increased the difficulty a bit past normal RE games, but I guarantee that going through the whole game is worth it, it’s what brought the franchise back to its roots, and has an ending I didn’t see coming. I have roughly half of the 285 issues of Nintendo Power, I eventually managed to obtain every issue digitally and figured I’m happy with what I have with the physical books, and that I’d rather not spend any more on already expensive magazines that have only gotten more pricey. All in all it’s a very nice haul you showed, I definitely am looking forward to what you might unbox next. Like you said CIB games are becoming more hard to find and at a decent price, sometimes you have to take what’s available because you never know if there will be more opportunities to find another.

If you haven't tried it yet, you should play The Wolf Among Us, it's also from Telltale who did those Walking Dead games, it's by far their best game, the story revolves around a detective in a murder mystery, but every character is based around a fairy tale character, but it's a really grim noir setting.

I also supposedly own a CIB copy of Megaman 2, and also Megaman 3 CIB. I've collected a lot of Megaman merch throughout the years but I've toned down the collecting ever since I moved out, it's something that I cannot afford to spend on, plus I've reached a point where it feels like I've collected enough of it and don't really need any more other than the video games. I've always been told that I'd collect only so much before the meaning gets lost and sure enough it did, but it doesn't mean that I won't buy something related to Megaman once in a blue moon.

I remember you telling me that you collected a lot of Mega Man merchandise. The only thing I can remember collecting a lot of merchandise for was the 1994 movie The Crow. I was 16 back in 1994 when it came out, and it quickly became one of my favorite movies. Like to the point where I wanted to get as much Crow merchandise as possible and even went as far as to get a really shitty tattoo of a crow on a tombstone on my arm! 😂 Thankfully that's long since been covered up!

I was never that big into puzzle games like Dr. Mario, I recall renting Dr. Mario 64 and absolutely hating it to the point that I returned it early. It reminds me of the gamble that you had to take when buying games, back then you had nothing but magazines and word of mouth on which games were worth buying, and if you bought a game that wasn’t great you had to take that loss. Nowadays with internet it’s so easy to find out on how each game fairs in reviews that it can determine whether to buy it or not, saving you some possible losses. Kids these days don’t know the pain of buying a game with your own money and taking the chance on the boxes presentation of what the game is about only to be disappointed later.

I see 2023 had some good pickups despite it being a busy year for you, I got my PS5 during the absolute chaos that was scalpers buying all of them up, except I received an email from PlayStation giving me the opportunity to purchase one, albeit there was an exact timeframe I had to click the provided link to purchase it or it became null and void, I was up all night the day of the exact time I could buy it. I had also purchased Miles Morales on the PS5 before I even had one, it was my first PS5 game and I enjoyed it even though it was shorter than the previous game. I remember renting CoD World at War for the PS3 back when my local video store was still open, it definitely had an interesting campaign although I never finished it, I did however reach the sniping part and got a bit farther afterwards. I've also played Black Ops 1's campaign during the Xbox 360 days and it's the only CoD campaign I've finished, I found that story intriguing. I've mostly play Battlefield series off and on these days, I started back when Bad Company 2 had active multiplayer, probably some of the most memorable moments I've had in a FPS were in BC2, from a 3 man SWAT styled infiltration to arm the final M-COM, to sending a C4 rigged quad bike to blow up the M-COM in enemy territory, there were a lot of good times.

I was never that big into puzzle games like Dr. Mario, I recall renting Dr. Mario 64 and absolutely hating it to the point that I returned it early. It reminds me of the gamble that you had to take when buying games, back then you had nothing but magazines and word of mouth on which games were worth buying, and if you bought a game that wasn’t great you had to take that loss. Nowadays with internet it’s so easy to find out on how each game fairs in reviews that it can determine whether to buy it or not, saving you some possible losses. Kids these days don’t know the pain of buying a game with your own money and taking the chance on the boxes presentation of what the game is about only to be disappointed later.
I honestly miss the "Russian Roulette" style of game purchases. Thankfully, 98% of the games I got as a kid were good. The other 2% were the ones you knew were bad, but tried to convince yourself otherwise! You're definitely right. Today's kids can't understand what we went through buying a game based on cover art and a vague description of the game on the back of the box!
That looks complete to me. It's normal for the trays to have a yellowish hue to them. It's not from smoking but rather it's from the plastic aging. I guess the game case is a good way to keep jewelry in.
I figured it had more to do with aging and less to do with smoking. But whenever I see that dingy yellow color, all I can think of is nicotine stains. I'm glad that mom found it and used it as a jewelry case. Who would have thought I'd need it all those years later to put a game in!
Wow, $100 was pretty high for a complete version of the game in 2014. Especially when it's missing all of the inserts and has some flaws. What were you thinking? LOL.
I wasn't! That was the problem!🤣
But now I don’t scary.
When I was a kid, I was very scared of the intro music of this game.🥲
Hit me up next time you get rid of Retro stuff! I got a few retro pick ups from my recent trip, they'll be in my next video! I completely agree about digital games, bro, you got COLLECTOR'S Edition these days that literally say: Game not included. It's madness!
Haha! Sorry brother! I didn't think you'd be interested in my GameCube games. I still have 3 of them, but they're titles you already have. Super Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, and The Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition. Definitely looking forward to seeing your next pickups video! I left a comment on the video you did at that Barcade. Not sure if you got the notification though. 🤔
There is something so absolutely unique about NES booklets art! I never played this game myself. I feel you don't necessarily need to explain your absence, it's just how life goes, but I do always care!
Thanks Tom. I've been so late on responding to a lot of these comments, but hey, better late than never! Haha! This particular Disney game wasn't really anything spectacular. It really pales in comparison to other Disney/Capcom games like Duck Tales or Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers. But it's still a decent game non the less.
I gotta catch up on some of your vids! We'll need a new rating SCIB: Super complete in box! I admit, I always think having the inserts are cool but somehow never take them into account for CIB. I probably should, haha!
Haha! I honestly never did either. I always looked at CIB as meaning, game, manual, and box. It wasn't until I started watching Good Vibes that I began getting a bit more nit-picky about the inserts and whatnot. His videos have ruined collecting for me! Haha!
Dude that's awesome you've gotten a PS5, you are gonna have a blast with that system, I was planning on getting one eventually but not right now though, gotta play games thru my PS4 first, and also a great collection of games you have with it even though I'm no Assassin's Creed Fan lol, but I do have some suggestions Street Fighter 6, or Grand Theft Auto 5 could worth your time, and thanks for mentioning my name Joel, I was very humbled, looking forward to your next video
I was more than happy to give you a shout-out! I mean, hey! We did kinda have that conversation! I've heard that Street Fighter 6 is really good, but right now, I want to get through Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales before I decide to buy any more games. Thanks for the support my friend, and sorry for the late response 🙏.
@@backintheday3097 Hey no problem Joel and yes Spider Man remastered is a must play and so does Miles Morales, but hey take all the time you need to build up that collection!!! And another thing do you have Instagram account?
I see 2023 had some good pickups despite it being a busy year for you, I got my PS5 during the absolute chaos that was scalpers buying all of them up, except I received an email from PlayStation giving me the opportunity to purchase one, albeit there was an exact timeframe I had to click the provided link to purchase it or it became null and void, I was up all night the day of the exact time I could buy it. I had also purchased Miles Morales on the PS5 before I even had one, it was my first PS5 game and I enjoyed it even though it was shorter than the previous game. I remember renting CoD World at War for the PS3 back when my local video store was still open, it definitely had an interesting campaign although I never finished it, I did however reach the sniping part and got a bit farther afterwards. I've also played Black Ops 1's campaign during the Xbox 360 days and it's the only CoD campaign I've finished, I found that story intriguing. I've mostly play Battlefield series off and on these days, I started back when Bad Company 2 had active multiplayer, probably some of the most memorable moments I've had in a FPS were in BC2, from a 3 man SWAT styled infiltration to arm the final M-COM, to sending a C4 rigged quad bike to blow up the M-COM in enemy territory, there were a lot of good times.
I'm certainly glad you didn't have to go the way of the scalpers to get your PS5 either! I started playing Spider-Man Remastered, and so far, it's an absolutely amazing game! I can't wait to finish it and move on to Miles Morales! Thanks for the support and please forgive my late reply 🙏.
Looks like there is some pen marks on the guide but finding one with the stickers intact is something you don't see everyday. $20 for a CIB Dr. Mario is a great price. A mint one should go for double that easily. Yes, hopefully 2024 brings more unboxing videos from both of us. 2023 was just an average year as you say. A year where things felt somewhat normal and relaxed again after dealing with the pandemic. With 2024 though, it's time to get back to work on videos. No more excuses about work or not feeling it. LOL
I looked through it, and there's actually no pen marks or writing in it at all. What you saw was a dungeon guide that had markings that were printed on the maps to show what leads to what. Definitely looking forward to some new content from you this year!
Hey Joel, long time no see, I know it's been a while, and sorry I haven't touched base with you recently, but work and life get in the way yknow? and besides 2023 wasn't all that great for me, some good points and bad points, but that's all behind me now and getting ready for a new year in 2024, and what an awesome gift he has given you very nice, I hope you have wonderful new year and I am looking forward to your videos in the future!!!
Hey brother, sorry for the late response. I just finished up an 80 hour work week that was crammed into the space of 6 days! Needless to say, I'm pretty tired!😂 Honestly, it seems that a lot of people haven't had the best year, but hopefully, 2024 will be much better for them. For me, 2023 was neither good nor bad. It kinda was what it was for me. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what the new year will bring.
@@backintheday3097 Yeah me too my friend and no apologies needed either, believe me, I worked New Year's Eve and New Year's Day I was exhausted lol, but it was worth it, but yeah I can't wait for this year
Dope gifts and an even better story behind it!!
Very true! Now I've just gotta find a way to play it! Haha!
I was looking forward to your usual unboxing video on Christmas but alas, there was no video LOL. That demo couldn't have been cheap. I hope there's at least a copy of it somewhere or it's archived. I'd hate to own a one of a kind record and be paranoid that something would happen to it. Especially with someone as famous as Axel.
Yeah, I was hoping to be able to do this before Christmas, but unfortunately, both he and I were a bit late with our shipping! Haha! This is definitely a cool gift. I'd just like to find a bit more information on it though. I've got a buddy who's a pretty serious vinyl collector, and I'm hoping he may be able to give me a bit more information about this.
Damn, that is one hell of a Christmas gift! Wow! That is an incredible piece of music history!!!
That's what I thought as well! I've got a buddy that's a pretty serious vinyl collector, and I'm hoping he might be able to get me some more information on this.
Super Mario Bros.2 Tonight at 8 pm on Nintendo
Ninja Gaiden 2 is also my favourite I like the clone power ups idk why Ninja Gaiden 3 doesn't have it
