Are Nintendo consoles more collected then others? if so why?

^ Is it really that surprising? It's the way it should be spelled, if you're using proper English, even if that's not the way it was branded.

A brand is a brand, has nothing to do with proper english.

Blue is spelled B-L-U-E. That is part that has to do with proper English.

I'm glad you can spell the word blue.

Do you spell Rice Krispies as Rice Crisps?

[burningdoom]

I feel like your arguing with me just to argue. I mean this isn't a hard concept to follow at all. Blue is mispelled in the branding, therefore a lot of people mistakenly spell it Blue-Ray, because that's how the word would be spelled in proper English.

...why is this so confusing for you?

Cant we all just get along?

The company chose the name to be Blu-ray, it wasn't a typo, they didn't misspell anything.

Go put "blu" in any text to speech program, go ask any English major, they will tell you it is pronounced the same as "blue", just because you don't recognize something as a word doesn't mean it needs to be spelled differently. 

I don't think you understand how "proper" English works.  It's a language.  You make words using language.  Using specific letters in a specific order, you make a word, it is spelled and pronounced as such.  I can for instance type flinglenard.  I can say it means a person who ignorantly misspells words.  It's not in a dictionary, but I made up the word, I chose its spelling, I infer its pronunciation, therefore it is spelled as such.  Just as a company chose the word Blu-ray to name their product.

I mean, this argument is entirely stupid.  You can't say a word is misspelled just because you want it spelled like a different word.

Quit being a flinglenard.

[burningdoom]

No. Blu is not a word. It is a branded name. You will not find Blu in a dictionary. But that wasn't what I said anyway. I said it's understandable that people misspelled it because the proper English word isn't spelled that way.

It is is silly argument. It's silly that you had to point out everyone in the thread that misspelled it to begin with and be grammar police. I was just pointing out that it's completely understandable for them to misspell it. But apparently, it's not understandable to you for whatever reason.

Let's direct the thread back on topic.  This argument has unnecessarily escalated far enough.

Nintendo collectors be crazy. Not only do they collect the good games, but I think more collectors do complete collections for Nintendo consoles than anything else, and seeing that everything came in a cardboard box, the values of complete games are satanic and I think it has an impact on loose prices.

[kamikazekeeg]

I know Nintendo has much more nostalgia with me.  If I had the money, I'd be focusing on N64 and SNES collections myself, though now it's mostly just new stuff and whatever I can get Zelda wise since I don't have the kind of money to afford proper collections.  No matter how many sketchy sections Nintendo manages to go through, they still have some pretty good games.  Already brought it up abit in the SNES vs Genesis thread, but I find that going back to Nintendo games turns out better generally than like Sega.  Not for every system mind you, I know my favorite system, the N64, had a few rough games, but at the time, I know the PS1 did too.  Luckily most of my favorites still hold up great.

In collecting aspects.

Nintendo has cardboard boxes. Cardboard boxes are hard to find in nice shape and in most cases thrown away.
Sega cases are hard cases more chance of survival. Also I find the nintendo boxes to look better with their colours but the sega ones also do have some charm to them.
Allot of nostalgia for people is what Nintendo gives thanks to some notable charaters wich other consoles do not have especially mario and zelda and later pokemon. Sega does not have such notable charaters. (sonic?) Sure but the sonic games are mediocre most people focus on the mascots to base if the games are any good for a system

Mario and zelda games are excellent while sonic games are pretty mediocre ignoring all the other great games the sega console had to offer wich are forgotten and not popular thansk to this even though excellent games comparable to snes.


These days, Sega makes really bad games mediocre sonic games and other ****. The only notbale newer games wich are retro now are jet set radio future and panzer dragoon orta upcoming shenmue 3. Nintendo however still makes excellent games and even kids recognise this and start collecting for the older system thanks to the awesome charaters of nintendo mainly mario, pokemon and zelda.

The good sega games wich are forgotten are pretty expensive these days because gameplay wise excellent however forgotten thanks to the sonic games wich defined the system for most people talking about sega: mega turrican, castlevania bloodlines, musha etc etc.

Early Sega games that came in the plastic cases were very nice.  It's always easier to find complete Genesis games because it wasn't as easy for kids to utterly destroy those hard cases as it was to smash a cardboard SNES box.  Later Genesis games switched to those crappy cardboard boxes that I think were worse than SNES boxes.  They had those little tabs that held the cartridge in it's spot and those got bent or ripped pretty easily.

I'm not agreeing with you on Sonic games being mediocre.  Sega put a lot of faith in those titles and Yuji Naka and crew made some fun, fast paced platformers there.  The series was highly regarded and in fact, was a prime leader in Sega competing with the SNES.  Of course taste in games is subjective, but they were highly rated and a major factor in the success of the Genesis/MegaDrive.

Modern-day Sega started off strong when they went 3rd party.  Panzer Dragoon Orta, ToeJam & Earl III, Crazy Taxi 3, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online...these were all good, strong games.  Unfortunately, last generation saw them peter out.  I'm not a huge fan of the Yakuza games, but they are still fairly highly regarded.

I can't really speak for Mega Turican or Musha, but the reason Castlevania Bloodlines is so expensive is because every Castlevania game pre-PS2 era is expensive as hell.

Mind you that castlevania Blood lines regardless of it being cib or as a lose cart has more value than Super castlevania IV lose or cib. Both were not to rare of a games and are equally easy to come by.

castlevania X on the other hand is a pretty rare game.

As for the sonic games it might have had succes but sonic games are not the kinda games that I play for fun except for the casino night lvl wich is nice.

I don't like sonic games to much and I find them mediocre my personal opinion. Mario games are way more fun to play and cannot be compared to sonic games. Good for you that you like sonic games so much.
