MegaMan52

Got the new Resident Evil movie on Blu-ray. I believe the animated movies are canon, so Jill has finally met Leon.

Downloaded The Great Gatsby for NES, based on the '20s book of the same name. It was originally an NES-style Flash Game (which can still be played), then later released as an actual NES ROM. There's an interesting interview with the creators of the game on Nintendo Player (formerly NES Player):

I subscribed to the Sonic Origins Plus Newsletter, and got some downloadable covers. These are the retro-style reversible cover images included with physical copies. There is, of course, also one for the U.S. and Canada, which I already have with my physical copy. I'll probably print these eventually and display them on a wall in one of my game rooms.

A 2018 Chuck E. Cheese hat. The hat is adjustable, has Chuck E.'s face on the front, and "Chuck E. Cheese's" underneath.

Holy Grail I Want: Little Samson with box, manual, and inserts.

Holy Grail I Own: Just one? Difficult decision...

Super Mario Bros. 3 McDonald's Happy Meal toy display.

Mega Man CES 1990 hat.

Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters on NES.

A physical copy of Wonderland Dizzy (Kickstarter).

VHS containing recordings of eighteen Mega Man cartoon episodes when they were shown on Fox Family.

Wendy: Every Witch Way on Game Boy Color.

Sealed GameCube Component cable.

t

Mega Man X Controller.

Or this Mario Party 4 Event Disc.

If I had to pick just one of these items, I guess it would be the Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal toy display. It's basically the centerpiece of my collection.

Megaman 5… I guess I should have gone with my gut when you first showed that tiny snippet 

Yes, that's it.

OK, here we go...

If it's too difficult, I'll either give a hint or reveal more of the picture.

Edit: I assume this might be a little too difficult, so I'll show a little more of the picture.

Hint: The game is for the NES, and it has a Train stage.

Okay, this should be a bit of a tough one.

Deja Vu II.

8/10

It's in my Game Boy Top 10.

Got Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Played and beat the demo of it (from the eShop) earlier this year.

This was a pre-order bonus for Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, and is now available as paid DLC. It gives MegaMan.EXE a new skin (HubStyle) on the menu, and adds two music tracks to the music player. There's also one for Vol. 2.

So I mentioned a little over a month ago that I bought a Summer Fun Pass at Chuck E. Cheese during the pre-sale. I went back recently and got my Summer Fun Pass Lanyard. I've had an All You Can Play card and Play Band for almost a year now, so I was told that they could put half an hour on either one for playing the games (the half hour is part of the pass). I'll have to wear this Lanyard each time I visit during the Summer (so they know I bought the pass), then they'll put half an hour on either my card or band. If I decide not to buy pizza or any other food there, then this pass basically allows me to go to Chuck E. Cheese for free during the Summer. If I do decide to buy a meal, I still save a little money because I don't have to pay to play the games until the pass expires (it's good for another seven or eight weeks).

This is Chuck E. Cheese's special for this Summer: "Dippin' Dots Summer Crunch" ice cream. I saw a sign on top of their ice cream freezer advertising this, and decided to buy some. It's two flavors in one: cotton candy and cookies & cream. Tasted pretty good (especially the cookies & cream).

Got a Mr. Munch cup. I've already got Chuck E. and Jasper cups, so I just need the Helen Henny and Pasqually cups then I'll have a complete set.

I also downloaded Chuck E. Cheese Racing World on the Apple Store. This game was released a few years ago, but was updated recently with more tracks and vehicles because Chuck E. Cheese has collaborated with Hendrick Motorsports.

In 3 Ninjas, Tum Tum plays Super Mario Bros. 3. It appears to be the Japanese release, because at 0:21 in the video you can see the World 5-1 goal from the Japanese release of the game.

I mentioned earlier this year that I have a second game room, because my other game room is pretty much full. However, I needed to take a break from collecting physical games or other items because I needed to do some organizing. I did some organizing recently in my second game room (rearranged furniture, added a shelf, etc.), and am able to buy physical games and gaming-related goodies again. I also continue to download some games.

Got The (New) Super Mario Bros. Movie on 4K, a Mega Man Controller Holder (can also be used with TV Remotes and Smartphones), and Sonic Origins Plus premium physical edition on Switch. Sonic Origins Plus includes an artbook and a reversible cover, in addition to a physical copy of the compilation.

While most of Namco's/Bandai Namco's "Arrangement" games have gotten home releases (Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious Arrangement), Mappy Arrangement has yet to receive a home release. So I downloaded Mappy Arrangement NES Edition, a modified version of Famicom Mappy that changes the graphics and appearances of the characters to resemble Mappy Arrangement from Namco Classic Collection Vol. 1.

Downloaded Mega Man 2.5D.

If it's the more common Nintendo variant, then it should have a dust sleeve with the Nintendo logo on it and the manual should have a purple cover instead of white.

If it's the uncommon Capcom variant, it should have a white manual like Mega Man 3, 4, and 5.

My copy of Mega Man 6 is a former rental that I've had since 1995, so I didn't get a Nintendo Power insert with it. But coming out in 1993 (Capcom variant) or 1994 (Nintendo variant), I believe Mega Man 6 originally included the same NP insert and Precautions booklet as other late NES releases (like Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters).

Shoutout to Video and Arcade Top 10 for stealing Crash Man's music. 

Oh yeah, I remember that show. Still have an episode that I recorded on VHS in 2000 or so: 

8/10

Still pretty fun after all these years, but I like Mega Man 3 and Mega Man 5 a little more. One flaw that Mega Man 2 has that other Mega Man games don't have (not even the first one) is that if Mega Man gets hit while there's a lot of sprite flickering, he actually moves back farther than normal. This is kind of cheap, and can make him fall during the Dragon battle or fall off platforms in the Wily stage 4 boss room.

Even so, I proudly display a Mega Man 2 poster in one of my game rooms. Respect to the first Mega Man game I played.

Beat a few more games recently.

Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge:

Mega Man III: 

The Jungle Book (Game Boy): 

Donkey Kong Land III: 

Kirby's Dream Land (Extra Game): 

Kirby's Adventure (Extra Game): 

Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break: 

It's about time.

I'm glad my favorite SNES game is finally coming back and as a remake. Now more people can play this game and see how awesome it is. Looking forward to seeing what new features and improvements are included.

Oh, and Geno makes a cameo in the original GBA version of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Better keep it if you have it.

Sure, why not? We've seen Mario as a raccoon, frog, rabbit, and cat before. Might as well have him turn into an elephant.

I'll get this and the Mario RPG remake.

Beat Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break. Short and sweet.

Once again, I'd like to point out that Game Boy games sound surprisingly good with a Sound Bar. and I've heard them with a Sound Bar for over a decade now. I turned my TV off but am leaving the game and Sound Bar on a little longer because I want to keep listening to the credits music.

Not really a big deal. The majority of the games I mentioned are in English or have very little Japanese.

Beat Mega Man III. The soundtrack sounds really good with a Sound Bar. If you have a GameCube and Game Boy Player, I recommend connecting the console to a Sound Bar. You might be surprised by how good some Original, Color, and Advance Game Boy games sound (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is another example).

Love Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. I pre-ordered the Switch version in 2019 and remember it came with a poster.

(I think I posted these pics on NintendoAge in 2019)

A little unfortunate that it requires a download to get all of the levels in each game (at least in the Switch version; I've read that physical copies of other versions at least include the full first Spyro game), but still a good collection.

There does exist an English translation for those who need it:

Edit: Also, this English translation has been put onto an NES cartridge in the past:

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.

Yeah, I've noticed that with Rockman DX3/Zook Hero 2.

Beat Donkey Kong Land 3. Got all of the DK Coins and Bonus Coins.

Beat The Jungle Book on normal difficulty. Played it on the Switch in Disney Classic Games Collection.

Beautiful collection. Congrats @Brickman.
