But the Dreamcast and every console before it are definitely on the hit list. I'm also eyeing those Wii U and Gamecube libraries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's my day off so could not have been released on a better day. I didn't preorder it, but when I went to EB Games to get it I was also given the steelbook. The photo doesn't really do it justice, it looks amazing in person. The dotted background behind the characters is shiny. I also got Everybody's Golf: World Tour for the PS3. Golf games are a weird guilty pleasure and this is the last one I needed for the PS3. It's eluded me for a few years and one finally popped up for a price I was happy with. I don't know if it's rare but it's definitely uncommon. Is that the same as Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish I could remember which gaming magazine it was, however (since it was not Nintendo Power). On a side-note I need to decide if I like their 3D label before I ship off my first submission.

We never got anything under the Hot Shots Golf title here, it's always been the much more generic sounding Everybody's Golf. The naming starts to get confusing when there's an Everybody's Golf 1 and 2 on PS1 and PSP, when they're different games.

Yeah, it was just a different type of case I was given for free by the EB Games worker. I've attached some photos of what it looks like on the inside and on both sides of the outside to show you what it's like. Not sure if the steelbook was released in America- hopefully it was, it's pretty cool in person. 100% licensed.

Anyone who plays that game with the 3D off is missing at least half of the experience. I wish the would've added post game content to 3D World like they did in 3D Land. Remixed levels, a minus world, a bonus world are all things that have been left behind from 3D Land that were really defining features of the gameplay experience. I remember shidding when the entire game opened back up with remixed and brand new levels, for all 8 world. That added content would add so much to 3D Land. It's not overly short when trying to 100% it, but it's not that long either. Always felt like it was missing something, especially after going through 3D World originally in 2013. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Got some more pickups to share! Saw Boktai CIB for auction on eBay, starting at $120, but it was also accepting offers so I figured "why not, let's offer $100" and it was actually accepted. It's complete complete too, it even has the plastic baggie on the cart. Runbow and Fox n Forests were from a trade, I had honestly given up on ever getting Fox n Forests, and then I managed to get it just trading off some video game vinyl records I didn't want. Crazy. I bought this haul from a service member stationed in Korea, apparently there's a good amount of stuff still in stock at the local PX there that is impossible to find stateside. I traded him something and paid the rest in cash, and I guess I bought enough that he felt compelled to throw in some local snacks and a postcard too! I already ate the Crunky Bar and the Country Ma'am cookies, they were divine. The two Yo-Kai games are sealed, they were not cheap and maybe I overpaid... I'd rather sell them and get them CIB but in this market I don't really want to sell them before finding them CIB! Creature in the Well finally arrived after a long wait, and I got Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 along with Descenders and Monkey Barrels from Target in a Buy 2 Get 1 deal. Picked up NSMBU and the Wii reseller lot from @Boosted52405! Final Fantasy X/X-2 Asia English cover was from the Play-Asia restock, much better than paying the $100+ this was going for on eBay recently. Made a big purchase from a game shop and knocked out 4 of my DS wants in one go, also picked up the CIB Centipede / Millipede which was one of the games I had growing up and while it's not a great game, the nostalgia is super strong with this one. I posted the Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures poster variant before but this is a second one I got in better shape. The GBA games were from an eBay seller that had a bunch of great stuff for auction, these two ended up going at good prices. Been wanting both for a long time. Finally picked up this guide and it's sealed with the bonus screen cleaner intact. Rarely bother with Amiibo anymore but these two were worth it. And then there's this NP haul. The only issue I needed was 128, but the rest ended up being upgrades because they have all the posters, cards and so on intact. The two magazines in the bottom right corner are nothing special but I like that one has a preview of Star Fox 2, which ended up being over 20 years away from releasing! That's all for now! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOURTURN | 1,256 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) EDIT: Put up for sale to cover previous video game expenses. Plus PSO2 felt flat when compared to the original. Edited April 29, 2021 by FenrirZero 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_profile_name | 230 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Got a cube Also, dug this up from my parents house (not new purchases, but didn't have them with me until now): There should also be a copy of LoZ:WW burried somewhere, unfortunately I couldn't find it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why we got it here and you didn't, especially considering how small of a country New Zealand is. It seems to be a PAL bonus going by a UK retailer site, so maybe most of Europe got it too. Edited February 16, 2021 by NZCollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croagunk | 798 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Scored Prinny 1•2: Exploded and Reloaded - Just Desserts Edition for the Switch today. I love all the extras with it!

Californication | 1,477 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Most of my 2021 stuff. And for some reason the hu-card slot on my pc engine startex working again!!! Most impressive game so far, Soldier Blade. Also pleasantly surprised by L-Dis and Download 2. I need me an import badge.

Tanooki | 4,932 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 You got into L-Dis eh? I got rid of that about a year ago maybe when I started off loading unused PCE CDs I had. It wasn't bad, just didn't do it for me. You do have some real solid variety there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get deep into it, was doing a quick run through of a bunch of games. A lot of the games were dark with big sprites and more of an arcade feel which is fine, but L-Dis stood out because the bright colors, sprites closer to a non PCE shmup, while the difficulty still seemed ramped up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the delayed response. I finally got to see your photos and see why you went with the 3D (banner) labels. Very nice. But since I am also going to use CAS, I feel that their 2D (flat) labels might be the way to go. In this case I am limiting my CIB/NS Wii game to Wata because it is technically "incomplete" without the bonus items and box. The remaining Wii, PS2, and Dreamcast games might be submitted to Wata. But the rest are limited to CAS for more than one reason. Plus I have the link going to their Nintendo related options. The depth-based dimensions for their PS1 and PS2 cases are very similar. Plus their photo of Super Mario Land (which got a 75) shows you where they place the label. And all I can say for that is their labels look like a upgraded version of what VGA offers.
