SailingWiimote | 16 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) I took three days off of work, which I haven't been able to do in a while. I don't plan to do anything important, so I bought a Wii with a bunch of controllers and my favourite baseball game. I'll likely spend two hours customizing a team before I play a single inning, which is the kind of waste of time I'm going to really enjoy this week. The guy at the store was surprised that I wanted Wii Remote jackets, and had to go searching for them.

MegaMan52 | 2,439 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) I mentioned two or three months ago that my game room is pretty much full, and that I was thinking about turning another room in my house into a game room. Maybe some of you have noticed that some of my pictures show a desk, and others show a table. For a little while now, I've had two game rooms. However, I need to work on the new game room like adding and rearranging furniture and figuring out exactly where I want to put future additions to my collection of physical games. So I'm currently taking a break from collecting physical games, but continue to get related items and downloadable games. I went to McDonald's to grab a quick bite to eat. I rarely go to McDonald's, but I've bought some of their more recent game-related Happy Meals (Mario, Pokémon). I browsed the Internet and noticed last month that they had Just Dance Happy Meals, but didn't think much of it since I don't care much for Just Dance. I went to McDonald's this afternoon to get a small, quick meal (I felt like getting fast food for a change, since I almost always eat healthy food) and noticed they still had the Just Dance Happy Meals. So, I took home some goodies with me. Downloaded Mega Man: The Sequel Wars, which contains a remake of Mega Man 4 (and will also contain remakes of Mega Man 5 and 6) with updated graphics and audio like Mega Man: The Wily Wars. It has options for modern and Wily Wars style soundtracks, has some new music, Protoman and Roll are playable, the difficulty can be changed, and other features were added. If this and the Mega Man 5 and 6 remakes are released on one cartridge, or multiple cartridges, I'll definitely buy it/them. Also got Sonic 3D Blast: Director's Cut. This was released a few years ago by Jon Burton, who created the original Sonic 3D Blast. Director's Cut adds features and makes improvements to the original version, such as a password save feature, a map screen, Level Editor, better controls, and even Super Sonic. There's also an option to just play the original version of the game. Edited June 9, 2023 by MegaMan52 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankos | 433 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Just picked this up. It's an English copy of Binary Monster 2, and unlicensed game for the Gameboy Color. The seller listed it as broken, however the cart works fine. The thing about unlicensed Gameboy products is a lot of them have custom boot logos, replacing the Nintendo text that normally appears when you boot them. Nintendo caught onto this, making it so that later models of Gameboy Advance would lockout custom boot logos. This worked for some games (like this one), but it does not stop all of them. Some games will automatically mask the boot logo with the Nintendo one if they are going to get locked out, but if you have a cart that does not do that you can insert it into a cheat cart to mask the boot logo. Not all cheat carts can do this though, my Gameshark just displays the boot logo of whatever cart I put in it 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankos | 433 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 This seller to be specific. Most of their prices seem to be pretty high, but they didn't want a ton for a "broken cart" so I picked it up, knowing there was a chance it'd work https://www.ebay.com/str/retrofleafinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of another thing about custom boot logos, if the top half of the logo matches the normal Nintendo logo, then it displays without issue on all GBAs. That's why Gowin started using this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
