Who in here still have their Super Mario 3D All-Stars still sealed in it's plastic wrapping

I got it as a birthday present so I felt I had to open it.
That being said I would have opened it either way as I'm not into collecting or keeping things sealed just in case they become valuable in the future.

I opened mine and played it. They released a lot of copies. I don't think it'll be that expensive in the future.
With that said the market for collector games is crazy right now so who knows.

No option for me.
I collect my games but I also open them to play them.
That being said I do have plenty of sealed games.

I'm not sure it'll actually stay limited time forever. They announced the same thing for Super Mario All Stars for Wii and that eventually got a reprint as a greatest hits title.
Not a collector. Just bought digitally as it's a game I'll always want access to on Switch and/or any backwards compatible succesor.
no lol
well, it might be in the technical sense that a collector has it as an item on their shelf. but it will never hold any value, there are like 6+ million copies out there
Pokemon Soul Silver and Heart Gold sold like 12 million copies and they are priced at more than a $100, used I believe.
It's extremely unlikely this will ever be worth more than it originally cost. Too many copies have been sold and there are tons of collectors who keep things sealed thinking they'll be worth something more.
Just haven't opened it since I got it a couple days ago. I'll crack it open when I want to play Mario Sunshine.
Maybe I'm alone here, but this is crazy because a collection of Sunshine, Galaxy and 64 is something that would scream collectible to me.
But the nature of the box art just being the three key arts put together, not even anything new, I didn't even buy the physical at all. Just downloaded it as if it were a virtual console three pack. I'm happy to have the games, but it wasn't really a collectible appealing item.

I bought it, played a tiny bit of SM64 (up to Bowser in the Dark World), and then shelved it. I don't regret the purchase by any means but it's gotta go into the backlog until I finish some other games (....which takes me an extra long time to do considering I can't stay focused on one game for very long, oops)
But is it really "backlogged" when you beat all three of these when they were all new games? Maybe not. idk.

Yeah there's a world of difference in collectors with: people who buy and play and buy the game to play, people who buy and keep it on a shelf sealed, and people who buy and sit on it an a potential investment in years to come. There's a lot with sealed collecting that I will just never understand, especially if you don't plan on ever investing/selling it.
There's not much point in buying current-gen games as an investment because digital distribution is ubiquitous these days. I know a lot of people prefer physical copies but the older retro games with ridiculous prices have the nostalgia factor going for them primarily, and the fact that many of them you can't even get on digital storefronts legally.

This feels like buying beanie babies mid craze. They produced millions of copies. This game won't be rare
OP

I guess I have 5 million houses to break in and steal all their copies.
I have a sealed copy since launch day I have not opened yet because I'm trying to finish up some other games first.
Same, except for fighting games which I do get the digital copy too for convenience.
I believe you meant three other people. You have my Yoshi. dozensofus.gif
