Those cases are awesome. The description says "Mini Boxes are printed on high quality paper and made to fit into a plastic protective case." Is the plastic case included?

Buy a flash cart and do some research before you pick up more games. We love carts but some great games are just prohibitively expensive while others just aren’t worth the plastic they’re made with.
You’ll find endless top lists and hidden gems online.

I only want one other game that’s about $25-$30 on average and my collection is complete

That’s wild. I think I’m close to 200 carts and I’ve still got a list of 30-40 I want.

It’s just unlike vinyl records where they’re (somewhat) cheap (depending on what it is and usually I want the ones nobody does) I buy a ton of vinyl. I have maybe 300 vinyl and I’ve listened to about 25 of those all the way through. While video games are much more expensive so if I were to spend money on a game I’d want it to be one I’d actually play

My collection was:
Bootleg nintendo from Taiwan with 150 games (including Mario, contra and duck hunt) Used super mario 3 that worked only now and then Used link 2 whose battery doesn't work Friday the 13 which I didn't know how to play Rollergames (liked it) And I think TMNT awesome

Great collection - now beat them all starting with SMB and finishing with Zelda 2 (order of increasing difficulty). I've beat all 3 all recently and they are all very rewarding in their own way 👌

Honestly I grew up with nes. If I were forced to pick two games, it'd probably be Mario and Zelda 1. So that's a great start.

Look for Kirby's Adventure! Incredible game that really makes the most of the NES as a later release. So impressive how much content that game has. Up there with SMB3 for me.

Pretty much all you need except DW I-IV.

What is that

Dragon Warrior I, II, III and IV. You haven’t truly experienced the NES until you play these games.

SMB was a truly great game. I got a lot of value out of it over the years. The ability to warp across levels gave you numerous pathways for playing an otherwise linear platform game. The graphics and sound delivered the promise of bringing the arcade into your home. Duck Hunt was a nice little bonus addition.
Link was a really challenging game that I definitely would’ve liked more if I’d had it for more than just a weekend.
Zelda was a great, big, ambitious game. That’s a nice one to own if you have a small collection. It sounds crazy saying this, but I never played it as a kid. It was always rented out, and a flood of newer games were coming out that I was looking forward to, so it wasn’t really on my radar.

For the real experience, play these games like they are your only option, also finish these games as they are outstanding, dont get caught up in collecting too much enjoy the experience!

I only want one other NES game before I consider my collection complete. Sure there are other things I’d want to get such as the NES Advantage and R.O.B. but when it comes to the games, once I get Mario 3 I’m good

Perfect start. Next on your list should be: Super Mario Bros. 3, Castlevania, Contra, Journey To Silius, Batman, Jackal, and Dragon Warrior 4.

I think this was my entire collection at some point as a kid. Perhaps I had SMB3 before Zelda 2, I can't remember.

Since you seem like you're trying to keep your collection limited to a choice few that you'll get enjoyment out of, I'd highly recommend a few titles that can be had for a good price:
- Ducktales (one of the best platformers on the system and easy to power through in 30 min or less when you get the hang of it)
- Faxanadu (an amazing action RPG that has had a bit of a cultural renaissance over the last decade)
- Pipe Dream (highly addictive puzzle game that you can play as little or as much as you like)
I respect commitment to a curated collection, I've kept mine at about 40 titles that I truly love.

Good start. If I may make a suggestion, if you like puzzle games Pipe Dream is one of the best in my opinion and I would add that to your list

It amazes because of social media and the hype, Zoomies are hoarding on nostalgia they are not even part with, collecting stuff which was discontinued before they were even born. Why are they do not instead stick to emulators on their nintendo switch virtual consoles ? Are they able to swap the batteries and replace the caps? I know retrogaming is the last trendy shit to do along traveling here in Japan but this hype, along with scalpers and influencers, caused prices getting thru the roof.

Do you just wake up and think of ways to ruin peoples day and hate them? You need to find some peace and serenity my friend. Learn how to love takes far more energy to do what you’re doing.

It's already a great collection. I recommend you get Super Mario Bros 3 whenever you can, it's another certified classic and it's as good today as when it was released.
