No, it's just the Famicom game in a 72 pin cartridge. Some westerners are deathly afraid of keeping an AV Famicom in their game rooms, so lots of these sorts of "NA exclusives" exist. Hell, even Retrozone made a bunch of titles way back when... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmauzo | 1,205 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Two packages showed up today, one from VGP, and the other from my sister-in-law in Toronto who picked up some games for me after I wired her the money. I dumped my GC Pikmin games in favour of just getting the pack on Switch, was finally able to get a copy of Celeste after missing several print runs and refusing to pay the high prices, and the one I've been getting hype for: Star Ocean - Second Story R! I started playing Wonder with the kids and we're having a riot with it, lol. My wife needed her some more Detective Pikachu, and I'm a sucker for Wario Ware games >_>. ...and as for the retro, I knocked off a few that have been eluding me for a while: - Batman: This one is in amazing shape and even has the Sunsoft reg. card which was a surprise. - Great Greed: It took being patient to finally find a complete copy of this at a good price; finding it in the wild was definitely unexpected, especially considering how difficult it is to find CIB Gameboy games anywehere but online (at least, if you're looking for anything other then the dozen or so games that always turn up). - Power Blade: This is so minty, it looks like it came out of the wrap! As it turns out, there was a collector in TO who would buy multiple copies of games when they would end up in the discount bins back in the day, would open one and keep the rest sealed. Recently, he passed away, and his children - not knowing what to do with all the old games - sold the collection to a store in which I'm pals with the owners; I opted to buy the open copy of Power Blade. ************************************************************************ And that's it for now, thanks for looking and good luck to all of you on the hunt! 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a nice grab! I've been trying to get a nice copy at a decent price for years. Congrats on the find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyree_Cooper | 777 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) RORICON CHAN-SO Made it through a few levels and then moved on to good games. It sucks. Ugly, slow, uninspired and offensively stupid. Hey, that's exactly what I think of Killer is Dead, how strange.

Skorp | 383 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Been a while so I'll post some of my favorite pickups this year. Had a lot of Switch stuff I don't have access right now but will in the future. Diddy Kong Racing was just used for comparison. The biggest box display I have ever seen and own now. 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrashncrash | 94 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I picked up NBA Jam for Sega Genesis CIB. But the case is a little beat up and their loose copy was the same price. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrashncrash | 94 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The Starfox Adventures for the Nintendo GameCube is missing the manual. Purchased an N.E.S. Advantage controller and Owen Heart DVD collection today. I already had the N.E.S. Advantage box that was empty. Now it's CIB 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpp72 | 1,237 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hey all, haven't been posting in awhile due to work, but I also haven't picked up much worth showing off lately. Awhile ago I was communicating with Pipedream Games which is a small operation that makes reproduction Saturn releases of titles never released in the US.. So I bought most of their lineup aside just a couple titles, and I'm happy with the overall quality of them for sure. He's hoping to do the whole set of Shining force III releases soon, and these tend to include fan translations when applicable, so it's a neat addition for Saturn collectors. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Sega sure did know how to screw things up! "Hey North America, here's Shining Force III... do you love it? Isn't it amazing! Guess what? scenario #1 suckers!

I mean they basically abandoned half of their content in the US because it didn't line up with what Sony was doing.. Lke sure that might make sense if your system had a bunch of stuff going for it, but at that point they should have just owned their niche and released anything they could Edited November 14, 2023 by goldenpp72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipedream does a great job on those customs, I've got the Dragon Force 2 and Thunder Force V that that did myself and they sit on my Working Designs shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,954 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Well another week and I'd say clearly the last in a 6 week run of finds in the local area has come to an end, a popular one I buy off of won't be there next week and packing it in for the winter, and well that's how it is in freezing spaces. This weekend I lucked into grabbing for $30 NES games: Godzilla, Bump n Jump, Excitebike, Tetris, and Pac-Man(lic.-tengen, which I've had a manual for already.) I'm familiar with all but the first, and wow that's a fun one and the game has some solid production values both in game and that awesome label art too. And then the mail came for the FC side of things, got a Kaiser multicart, claims it's from Nintendo of all things, branded right into the plastic on the front, then in the rear with their typical warnings on handling/cleaning with a couple goofy hammering and water warnings and it came with a pretty pristine gold honeybee adapter. And a day early, just arrived, the last of the FC more or less, Konami had 3 expensive FDS to FC re-releases and I got the one that mattered to me at least Moero Twinbee (Stinger) which has all the original cut out content and that'll be fun later but I have to run off to work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireHazard51 | 2,053 Social Team · Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 First off, I've complete my full set of PSVR games. I'll closely monitor publishers but I think the console is dead given that the PSVR2 is about to hit 1 year anniversary, and the fact that you can't easily port PSVR games to any other VR headset. PSVR2 are much easier to port to or port from. This is why I think PSVR will die a quick death. So with that onto PSVR2 collecting! I got some custom protective lenses for the PSVR2 headset and two more games.. Spoiler Some Switch pick ups... Spoiler Some PS4 pickups Spoiler Some PS3 games, PS2 and PSVita pickups. Big pickup was Time Crisis 4 with the sensor bar. I now have two guns and the sensor bar. Time for some co-op gaming. Spoiler Lastly I got a hardcover copy of the complete Horizon Zero Dawn graphic novel collection 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
