WHAT A WORLD!!!

HOLY CRAP! ONE SOLD!!! WOOOOO!!!

Thanks for the heads up!!

Likely they would. They do grade homebrew. I'm actually not even against that - you programmed the game. You are the creator, and despite it being a low budget release, it's a more legitimate release than these hacks.

I think it's 100% WATA's fault. They marketed themselves as a more competent and legitimate option to CGA/VGA. They have been around and grading for 2 years. They focus solely on video games, have people on their staff that are supposed to be -the- experts (or at least know who to go to), and even have partnered with an auction site, that should -demand- that they are grading legitimate things. Do mistakes happen? Sure, but this isn't a "mistake"/oversight. They even admit on the label that they are hacks. Have a customer that wants something like this slabbed? Ok, fine... slab it, but don't grade it, or at least don't grade it on a scale/in a way that is used for legitimate games. This misleads people, arguably gives legitimacy to something that is equivalent to something I could make in my basement, and could lead people to be ripped off.

It's not that they are choosing to have those graded, that's their busniess... it's that WATA is grading them at all (especially in a "sealed" grading scale). They are repros... of hacks... sealed by a "company" or person that is, for all intents, a hobbyist - likely taking someone else's work without approval and/or compensation and making something unregulated and unauthorized - how does WATA even determine if/how these things were sealed to determine if they are truly sealed and not resealed...?? Even if they are 100% as they came from the seller, these in no way should be legitimized...

I don't know about anyone else, but I am really disappointed to see WATA grading crap like this (on top of the price hikes, and increased grading times): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrono-Trigger-CRIMSON-ECHOES-SNES-Super-Nintendo-Brand-New-WATA-9-8-GEM-VGA/254570470779?epid=214710372&hash=item3b45951d7b:g:tzoAAOSw0uRel6WQ https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Legend-of-Zelda-OUTLANDS-Nintendo-NES-WATA-9-2-VGA-Brand-New-Factory-Sealed/254570442452?hash=item3b4594aed4:g:6DEAAOSwlANel5sS https://www.ebay.com/itm/Final-Fantasy-II-2-WATA-9-6-VGA-Nintendo-NES-SNES-Factory-Seal-WOW-GEM/254570478167?hash=item3b45953a57:g:GcoAAOSwC7Nel6oy You like and collect repros - cool, I guess... but grading them...???

Can't wait to give it a try

Nice set! GLWS! I recently acquired the last one to complete my sealed set!

Siiiik

Yeah, they are having a lot of issues sending here.

@fcgamer I'm going to try, but it's always a crap shoot.

Excellent job! It was fun reading the perspective of Vec and Admiral Tom. Thanks for highlighting our little game.

Missing a bunch from my collection for the music cart charm, but it's enough to qualify. Also did the two music tracks for 1007 Bolts for the Chiptune artist Released 1007 Bolts/Hammers, UXO, and Freecell for the Publisher Beta tested multiple homebrews that were released (Larry, Armed for Battle, Trophy, Owlia, Rollie, etc etc) and made carts for multiple releases (Ninja, and a couple others I can't remember) for the Brew Crew Will make a pic/post for the 100+ homebrew carts later... I'm too lazy/my collection is too packed away ATM.

Then you'd really croak at the very similar recent Kira Kira Night Star release: 36,000 yen -_-

The friend throwing mechanic is hilarious. Amazing work, especially in such a short amount of time!!. I really hope you end up fleshing this out a little more (I love it as is, though!).

Very excited to see new progress on this!

Absolutly amazing. The atmosphere you pump into your NES art boggles the mind! Please don't make me wait till 2026

Good to see you made it over, man!

Not mentioned yet, but still arguably my favorite: Armed for Battle I'm a huge strategy fan (or at least, historically have been), and a fun to play RTS on the NES still blows my mind. This game doesn't get nearly enough credit, especially being made by one dude, and I hope and pray it gets a sequel/spin-off/SOMETHING in the future.

Huh, my subscription expired. Got it all fixed now, so you can keep siphoning money off of me every month FOR EVER! XD

Nice job Ferris! Hope you finally got some sleep! XD

It was a great time as usual, for sure!!! Some of you slackers (con... <.<) need to find time to come next year! The more advanced notice, the better! Attached photos of the Danny Devito, and Shrek shrine for the lolz. XD

Well I have a Nikka Coffey Malt bottle almost done that I could save for you It's the yellow label, instead of the pink "grain" label.

@RichardheadI was your SS!! I hope you enjoy everything. Animal Crossing is such a great game and one of my absolute favorites from the system (plus you can hack custom NES roms into the in game nintendo)! It also seems like a lot of people got Nintendo cards this year?!
