I’ve been eyeing the collection on Switch! Just hard to justify when I have so many other ways to play those games already. My money is finite, unfortunately.
I do love the soundtracks though, and that also makes it tempting. I play a lot of theatrythm on both 3DS and Switch.
Yes I have, I open up every cart I purchase used and give it a good clean before testing it in a system. They are all genuine carts (and the DS FFIII I bought new on release).
I wish! I still don’t have a PSP or Vita 😮💨
Just GBA, Square Enix did all these releases for it and I’m a big fan of the series and the system. Just threw Tactics in because it’s also “Final Fantasy” on the GBA. And figured I’d put the DS III in there too for the hell of it.
I have the original Tactics installed on my PS Classic. 🤷
To be fair, a GB or GBC cart in the SP will make it much less pocketable.
Dang it, thanks.
Same for me. If we’re counting in backwards compatibility, I was always a GBA guy for the fact it could play the entire Game Boy library.
As I’ve gotten older though, I’ve been gravitating more to the DS for the combination of DS and GBA.
They’re a lot of fun!
I’m sure it’s not for everyone though, they do make great display pieces too!

Always stylus.
It’s not, you’ll have to track down an older model to do this (and a compatible Circle Pad Pro for the model you get).
Alternatively, I’ve seen several people out there replacing their C-Sticks with the thumb nub/stick from a PS Vita. The rumor is that it feels better in these use cases than the C-Stick. Might be worth looking into.
I haven’t tried what you’re suggesting, but I have played quite a bit on an OG 3DS with the Circle Pad Pro attachment - and it does feel much better than the C-Stick.
Sounds like I’m (at least) already there, I’ve been gaming since I was a kid and can count on one hand the number of things over the years I’ve let go. Including all the cardboard from every game and system I purchased.
I’m also with you on your philosophy regarding finishing games. I play to play, and it doesn’t matter if the game is over or I get 100% completion. And if I come across a game in my library that I don’t enjoy… I still don’t get rid of it, I may come back a year or two later and find that it clicks with me then. 🤷🏻
🤞
I hope to play the original game before I ever play the sequel. Whether or not I purchase the sequel will depend how I enjoyed the first game. If I can’t get through enough of my 3DS backlog to get to it before the opportunity to buy the new game goes away - I may just purchase it (assuming the reviews are good) and add it to my backlog as well.
Having a family really eats into any video game time I might have had… Someday I’ll get to play these games!
I still haven’t played the original, despite it sitting on my shelf and that I purchased the DLC for it before the eShop went dark… 🤦
IX might be my favorite of all time, and I would have camped out overnight to have that on something like the DS.
At least we’re getting some re-releases on the Switch now. 🤷
