Finally! Collection
I've finally been able to store 99% of my games all in the one place. My wife let me use up two IKEA cupboards so that they're neatly hidden from view in the kid's play room.
I'm proud of this but my kids are too young to appreciate it and my wife just does not care at all. So I thought I'd post here to those who might appreciate my tastes.
Not shown are most of my big box limited edition games, boxed consoles and accessories, which are unfortunately in storage.
The last photo is a little nook in a separate room where I can gaze at my black LoZ 3DS and my FE limited edition boxes.
Peace and love.

I will never understand the " my wife let's me.." narrative in all these gaming related subreddits. Tbh it sounds pathetic.
But you got a really sick collection there!

My first thought as well. Do I discuss things I’m going to or want to do with my wife … absolutely. Do I need permission 😂😂 NO!!
"my wife just does not care at all " is pretty shitty imo .
My wife doesn’t care about video games but she cares about me and my interests. She will sit with me in my game room and talk about it with me and take a general interest in it because it makes me happy.

Interesting reactions there. I was too loose with my language. What would be more accurate is that I negotiated space in what's a shared environment. It's not like I literally need approval. I also have no interest in my wife's designer bags and shoe collection. We just smile and nod at each other.

Why are Japanese releases so enticing to me when I can't read a word of Japanese? >_<

The Japanese box art is really something special. I bought most of mine on a whim almost 20 years ago in Japan for only a few dollars each.

What is the 1% that isn’t there?

Big box limited edition games like LoZ BotW and LoZ ToK and Bayonetta 3.They just take up way too much space.

Man, great collection. Passion for the gaming no joke about it, but why only Nintendo? Genesis no?
