See, his attractive girlfriend thinks he's a regular guy, but when she leaves the apartment we find out he's really a closet Nintendo fan, which is horrible, right? More »

I got a chance to swing by the SNK Playmore Suite at GDC to check out some of their offerings. Most of what they had going on on their screens were showings of their various game anthologies including Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2, King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match, King of Fighters Collection Orochi Saga, Samurai Shodown Anthology, SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 and World Heroes Anthology. Not a whole lot new here but there were a couple of nice looking trailers for King of Fighters XII and the New Samurai Shodown. More »

Kotakuite, Tristan recently cleaned out his game closet and assembled his collection for all to see. Covering over twenty different systems, his collection is quite impressive. It always warms the cockles of my heart to see games all gathered in one place and not be an auction on eBay. Guard your treasure trove well, Tristan, in another 75- 80 years some of those will be bona fide antiques which you can then present on Antiques Roadshow for a tidy sum. Flynn De Marco More »

What was once a semi-reasonable instant Nintendo Entertainment System complete collection buy-in has now crossed into insane auction territory. The eBay auction that includes 670 unique games that Fahey posted yesterday has seen a ludicrous, competition-silencing bid from "Bidder 24" that pushes the current bid to $240,300. That's almost a quarter of a million dollars and it doesn't even include the superior top-loading NES or a dog bone controller. More »

Yet another collection suffers the fate all obsessive collections will one day suffer once the collector realizes that all of their time and money has amounted to piles of expensive stuff.

Forget the instant console collection. If you've always wanted to get into collecting vintage game consoles but weren't sure where to start, we've found the definitive starting point. It's an auction up on eBay UK right now entitled ber 90 Telespielkonsolen (Over 90 Television Consoles), and it is uber indeed. With game systems ranging from old classics like the Atari 2600 (4 versions!) to obscure items like the Game Axe NES clone, the auction covers over 2 and a half decades of gaming history. There are consoles here I've never even heard of. More »

Holy elephant crap, Batman! Here's one insanely insane video game collection. It is so insane that we know nothing at all about it, but man, that is one lucky kid. Toy cars, a dog and almost every video game ever made. (Not to mention a groovy exercise bike.) More pics after the jump. More »
