you can always sent this to me it was my first love...

I haven't tried it yet, it looks nice for its age. I think if I had it when I was a kit I would've love it 😊

...and I'll take that honeybee, if it has the extended cart slots on it. 😉

There is only one slot, so I'll keep it 😛

You did confused face.

Look up the Pro Action Replay MK3, vs other adapters, most adapters including the honeybee.  The MK3 has the wider optional sets of pins to read games that use larger expansion chips (FX1, FX2, SA1, SDD1, C4, etc.) that need those added pins to send the added data for those heavier games that don't just use stock hardware.  When you have an adapter that doesn't have those, none of those games will play.  That's why I said I didn't understand why so many companies cheapest out on that.  It stopped games like SFAlpha2, Star Ocean, Parodius 3, Kirbys Dreamland 3 and Super Star, Mario RPG, Star Fox 1 and Yoshi, DOom, Mega Man X2/x3 and others from playing which largely people consider systems sellers.

Back when I was aiming to beat 100 original Game Boy games, this was one of the ones I beat to achieve that. I thought it'd be a free and easy game to finish, but it was harder than you might think. A lot of Game Boy games end up being surprisingly hard.

Just a few things I got recently and today.  The nice Japanese seller of the SOTN soundtrack even sent me some tea.  Don't know what kind it is.  It tastes like a green tea and chamomile blend, but I can't say for sure.  Then today I got my Full Quiet Kickstarter reward in.  The manual is great, and the little map tucked inside it.  I can't wait to start playing it.

Is Full Quiet finally sending out orders? It's been a while since I heard anything about that, good to see it's been released. The KS campaign was in 2017!

Two weeks ago I mentioned that I had games in the mail for me, and they've finally all arrived!

(They aren't sun faded, it's just poor lighting for the photo)

I already had a loose disc for Rayman, Just Dance and Yoshi, but I wanted to upgrade to complete copies. I also got the uncommon Canadian print of Duck Tales Remastered, which was a pain to track down at a good price.

I also bought some Skylanders to play through Skylanders Giants, which I haven't played since it first came out. Instead of repurchasing every single figure, I only bought my favourite character from each element. You need a Skylander of each element to access every area in the game, which contain items that are needed for 100%.

Even though I was twenty-one when it came out, I was way into Sprocket and thought she was hot. 😅 Female mechanic characters are always really appealing to me, and Sprocket was no exception. It's a shame she looks so weird in the later games, which is one of the MANY reasons I never played anything beyond Giants.

I still want to pick up Captain Toad, Game & Wario and Lego City Undercover, but other than that I'm pretty happy with my Wii U collection now. I'm not a fan of M rated games, and prefer keeping video games a form of media for kids. I grew up playing that kind of game exclusively, so very few M rated games have ever interested me.

Sonic Lost World is fantastic by the way, and a must have for Wii U owners. Much like Star Fox Zero though, you have to warm up to its control scheme before it becomes fun. As someone who loves the original Sonic the Hedgehog, part of what I adore about Sonic Lost World is that it focuses heavily on platforming. The speed sits in the back seat this time around, with its proper role as a secondary focus for players who can play the game well.

I've been having a blast completing every little thing in the game, and it's easily in my top ten Wii U games. I'm currently working on getting S ranks in every stage, even though there's no reward for doing so. The only reward is having more fun, which is good enough for me. 🙂

Hi @Tanooki, I may have misused the confused face, I've used it because I was confused of why they removed those, not confused at your message.

But thank you for the detailed explanation, it was very interesting 😊

Had an interesting early few days of the month.  A mix of local, a gift, and gba-ebay too.

Locally I found that amazing FF book which has some really great art, design images, details, stories, etc about the N-era of when Final Fantasy was consistent and great for $30, not a steal but a good thing to spot, and then another $15 for Mercenary Force with the manual in great shape.  The Quest guide I was seeking was online and $15 shipped.

Then there's the GBA imports mix of ebay domestic and Hikari Shinwa there was JP-Fedex'd it too arrived faster than Mario Bros which popped up today.  I sought those out specifically held back on a few others too.  I really dig the packaged ones as they really went all out with the little boxes within boxes, manuals or even manuals 2(Hikari Shinwa) with some amazing large fold out color artistry.  And then there's King Kong 2 thanks to fcgamer, a nice find in the mail box the other day.  Confusing game figuring out where to go, but it's fun.

Redid some displays and also got some pretty cool stuff in recent(ish) times. Dynastic Hero is among the most sought after games for the TG16 line in the US, Little Samson needs no explanation, the Analogue Pocket is beautiful, the two plushies were from Strictly Limited but I posed them near the most expensive game for them.. Aside all that I made a display for ROB and also added the elusive MK7 Club Nintendo trophies to the Mario Display, they never released in the US but I always found that regrettable. For those unaware, Burai Fighter for the GBC was renamed to Space Marauder and is very difficult to find, I should have paired it with the NES game as well for completions sake, but not a hard thing to do. I also added another spot for WATA stuff which I hope is the end tbh.

It's gone a bit out of control tbh, I'm retaining 0 percent interest debt in a hope to just finish it since It's become pretty tiring to collect these days, but I like working on it to make it all feel worth it, but I'd like to rest too lol.
