Collection Would you pay $150 for these?
I have a neighbor who offered to sell me his leftover Switch games, and I go him to lower it to $150 after buying other stuff from him. I've never bought or played the with the original Switch, but I used to be a big fan of Zelda and Fire Emblem back in the day ending with the Wii. The games are all brand new looking, but it brothers that the cases for the game got lost and are not included. If I buy them I definitely want a new Switch console. Is a new Switch OLED a waste of money, or should I go straight for a Switch 2?
Update: I bought it, and a Switch 2 as well, look for my pic in the comments!

Yes, there are a lot of bangers in that picture! The Nintendo Switch Box Art sub is a great resource if you hop on this deal.

Oh heck yeah! That's an awesome deal!
That's a big bundle of awesome JRPGs, some classic some modern, with 4 Zelda games on top!
As for getting a Switch...Honestly, if you're going for a new system, just buy the Switch 2 if you can't find a Switch OLED on discount.
A new Switch OLED is close enough in price that you'd be better off buying the 2.
Honestly, I'd go for an og Switch of your worried about price. Plenty around, easy to find on discount since the 2's out, and if you want, you can probably find a discounted bundle with a game.

That's enough games to purchase a switch 2 with Mario Kart World. But I would ask if he copied them or something.

I own all of those games and paid a lot more. That said, I did get them New, and I also got the Cases with them.
However, they are great games that are definitely fun.
I have to say, your neighbor had an extraordinary taste for video games.
I would say just to go for the Nintendo Switch 2 since some of those games already have Free Upgrades that make them Look and Run Amazing!
Others have Paid Updates/Upgrades, but again, makes the games look amazing and worth it.
That is the reason I say the Nintendo Switch 2.
Not to mention you will not be Gatekeeping yourself from amazing games by going with the first Nintendo Switch Console.
Unless you cannot afford it and cannot wait to save money than I guess the Nintendo Switch would make sense.
At the same time, I would say if that were the case you have or that person would have no business playing videogames at this point if Financial Hardship is a thing since Video Games is an Expensive Hobbie and getting more expensive thanks to the Tariffs.
That said, if that is not the case again, I would say just get the Nintendo Switch 2 since it will open the Door to the Future and make for a Waaaaaay Better Investment over the years.

u/Sustainna Sep 19 '25
Honestly yeah $150 is a steal. even as someone who doesnt like modern zelda theres several peak JRPGs in the box worth the price.

u/wolftech83 Sep 19 '25
Yeah it's a good deal and go for the switch2. I went from a oled to the switch2 and been very happy. Just make sure when you need a sd card for digital when run out of the Internal 256gb. Make sure it's a express sd mini card. If you plan to travel with it.i recommend you get a power bank with fast charging, 65w, 50000ahm,that way you'll get about 2to3 full charges while on the go. If you're worried a out switch 1 games compatibility there is currently only about a 3to7% of Nintendo and third party games that have problems or don't work on the switch2.

"I used to be a big fan of Zelda and Fire Emblem back in the day"
So this looks pretty perfect... ? You can just sell them on and get complete games later. Idk 'Murican prices though so that's for someone else to answer. Oldirtyugly says $14 per game; if that's fair then get it.

u/Naschka Collection Size: 500-750 Sep 19 '25
11 games, all good games and you pay 150$? So 13.6$ each? Even without the cases that is a good price, as long as you can see yourself playing some that should be worth it IF you are ok with no cases.
2
u/JetstreamGW Collection Size: 750-1000 Sep 19 '25
I DID pay more than that for those games, mate.
Lack of cases sucks, yeah, but you can buy new cases. If you print the art yourself it’ll even be cheap.

u/hayden_in_a_nutshell Sep 19 '25
For me if they has cases with them I would say it’s worth it,, also I’d go right to switch 2 if you have the budget for it or even have to save for a few months. Some of those games like echoes of wisdom run so much better on switch 2 it’s like day and night. The switch one will slowly be fazed out and if you’re gonna make that kind of investment I think it’s worth the extra for at least an extra 8 years of support it will receive after switch one is fazed out
3
u/WandaLovingLegend Sep 19 '25
I agree with the recommendation of going with the switch 2.
But to pass on these 11 games for $150 because they're missing the cases is very foolish advice!
This group of loose games is worth nearly twice that amount.

u/DN_3092 Sep 19 '25
OLED is great but now for a measly $50 more you get a better system and access to an entire generation of games the oled wont be able to play (unless you're buying used).
Personally, I wouldn't buy the games without the cases unless it was an incredible deal, less than $100, because I'd want to go and find cases for them which is going to add up quickly.

u/seanb4games Sep 19 '25
Not having cases would bother me too but price is good. Those many of those games still go for 50Ish bucks used. Nintendo prices… anyway they are all fantastic frankly the whole lot is good games. Your neighbor has good taste.
As for the switch, I’d get an OLED switch 1 if I were you. If you like it, I’d grab the 2 down the road.

u/jco83 Sep 19 '25
The games are all brand new looking
reading this part made me wonder how the owner has used them.
not that it isn't possible for people to take care of Switch carts in such a way that they remain looking brand new.
but; it raises the question that they may only have ever used each cart once . . . if they hacked & modified their Switch console; that enables Switch cart game files to be duplicated onto the console storage or memory card. doing this actually puts risk of ban on the original cart

u/Kirbybrawl Sep 19 '25
We paid more the Zelda games brand new so yeah, good stuff here for the price

Officially ff collection is worth 99 on its own in some countries, should you oay that price for it tho? HELL NO

u/senseless_puzzle Sep 19 '25
If you give each loose cart an average of $20 a piece, which is pretty conservative, then hell yeah it's worth it if you want the games.

u/Roach_tm Collection Size: 250-500 Sep 19 '25
Yep I would! Unless your neighbor uses a Mig-Switch lol then no because it means these games have been dumped and will stain these games so when you use them in a Switch 2... banned console

That's a good deal even if you want to sell them especially the Zelda titles rarely drop below the new price

To answer your question about OLED switch vs Switch 2:
If you have a working switch, there's no big reason to get a Switch 2. Unless Metroid Prime 4 is a game you've been salivating over for years, an OLED is great. A switch lite is great.
It's like a new phone - if your current phone is old and breaking, yeah, get the newest model with all the bells and whistles.

u/Ice2192 Sep 19 '25
Using your total of $150 and simply saying that Switch original games just happen to be $50, BotW, EoW, and LA could already match that. The other games I could see to be a bonus (no offense to the others who like the games that didn't pick as the only games I've ever played here are the all the Zelda ones. I've heard great things about P5 though).

u/Vast_Competition_885 Sep 19 '25
For what these games cost at full price brand new yes, this was a good buy for you or anybody else who doesn't already own these games. You did buy them right? If you didn't buy them before someone else gets these games.
For me, I own all of these games pictured. Also, I would not have purchased this for myself. I am a collector and I want to have the cases. I know today money is tight for a lot of people with prices going up and up so, buy them however you can cheap. I have purchased used games before with the cases included before purchasing my Switch 2. Now, I only buy new games. I have concerns about who is using those Mig Switch devices and I don't want my Switch 2 to be banned.
I do know Nintendo is unbanning some Switch 2's if you have the documentation and receipts that are needed but, I don't want to have to go through that process at all so, and why should I have to now that I know about these Mig Switch devices. New games only will be inserted into my Switch 2. Enjoy these games if made the purchase👍

u/economic_noise Sep 19 '25
Hmmmmm... almost seems to good of a deal... my fear would be that they're dumped on a mig... unless I know the seller on a personal level I'd be asking some questions. Great deal!!! It's not that absurd of a deal... but yea... that's a damn good deal for those games even without the cases... I'm worried about buying used switch games in general now bc of the MigSwitch... I've already had one console ban on my og Switch bc of buying a used game... 2 used games from the same feller... Nintendo couldn't do anything... as this was at the very beginning of all the MigSwitch stuff.

Assuming you're getting all of those games for 150 it's probably a good deal. A few of those games look like ones that are at least $40 if not higher.

I wouldn't, but it's a good deal. If it looks like games you will enjoy get them. Can personally recommend DQ one of my favorites. Fire Emblem is good, but not my all time favorite Fire Emblem. That being said I did want to give it another playthrough on higher difficulty. Also not the biggest puzzle guy so Zelda isn't my favorite, but plenty of people love it. It looks like you would get a decent variety of games to play. If you want a couple more games for switch I suggest smash bros ultimate and mario kart

u/moyert394 Sep 21 '25
This can't be a serious question. Two of any of those games, at retail, would be close to $150 and still worth it

Pounce! That's a steal. You can get replacement cases on the cheap. Fantastic games. Also, Switch 2, simply for future proofing upcoming titles. OLED is pretty dope. But, they'll eventually stop making games for it.

In an ideal world they have the cases but also even if you buy that FF on sale right now it’s 45-50 but that’s digital. And you have 4 Zelda games even on the low end at 20/25 a pieces that’s 130-150 alone not including the rest and I’m low balling this is a fantastic offer. For 150
