  1. * - Pigs can play video games with their snouts, scientists find. No need for any redundant (s)s.
  2. Might be hard to get because there was a limited amount made IIRC. Also the 4k one is region free but the blu rays are locked to the UK region. I just had a friend of mine ask me why that movie is always so expensive and basically you cant find it streaming anywhere and when they print copies, its always in small doses or something wacky because of the people who hold the rights to it are stringent about it (Richard Rubenstein). You CAN watch it on youtube from time to time pretty easily.
  3. Bought a 4k TV just to watch Dawn of the Dead in 4k. Thats it and all I care about owning.
  4. I figured there was some connection but maybe it was a translation thing.
  5. Well I mean, I haven't and have no interest in playing any of the others so it wouldn't be an accurate representation. Ive seen the FF7 remake and it looks pretty great. Id probably play that cuz its not turn based.
  6. I dont want to vote and spoil the polls, but I have HEAVY nostalgia for FFX as I met one of my close friends when this game came out and he played it constantly. So the music, enemies, I know really well. I ended up DLing the game and 100% it (dark aeons) and I dug it! On the other hand, I really am not a fan of turn based RPGs so this and maybe Earthbound I would play and thats about it. So I love FFX
  7. I believe this is the case. Capcom told Nintendo they were not releasing MM6 in the US but everywhere else (For whatever reason), which is why MM6 isn't as rare as MM5 because Nintendo released it. Im under the impression that the USA region code is kinda 'meaningless' and just represents "NTSC", which Chile uses. Some of those lesser known titles that didn't sell great here got shipped over there which is why you'll see Samsons/F2s more commonly there. In fact its where I got my F2. This also doesn't seem to be unique to the NES but also Game Boy. Game Boy games are region free, so the only difference between the PAL versions and NTSC versions, are the circle vs. oval seal and the country code. But there are rare US Game Boy games, that were never printed for PAL, show up in Europe. Again because they didn't sell well. Which is why Stop That Roach, Swamp Thing, Amazing Tater all can be found in Europe. Anyway, I SEVERELY doubt anyone who has one here would sell it. Or if you'd REALLY want it, you'd have to find who has it and message em personally. I suggest try looking outside the US, to South America/Chile specifically.
  8. Its been about 10 years now. Miss this guy.
  9. Just waiting for it to go on sale. Cant wait to try it. Reminds me of a blend of Power Blade/Shatterhand/Ninja Gaiden. Cant go wrong with that!
  10. Ok guys I did some 'research' that totally wasn't stalking and found out this is the user who was making the counterfeit NWC repros. Yknow, we shouldn't report this person because, yknow, we're in these unprecedented times and we might hurt their chance to make a decent living. So, can we just look past this one, just for now? I mean, in the grand scheme of things, is it really that bad what shes doing? EDIT: Gloves if you're gonna remove the pic, at least say it was of Jessica Nigri to at least get my joke across lol
  11. Here's again the full context. I would love to know how you would even come up with this nonsense? What would I have said that would even make you assume this insane idea that I would try to stalk this ebay seller to understand their living situation, in order to not feel guilt about reporting them to ebay? Are you off your meds or something?
  12. No it isnt, its for people to want something they can't afford so they buy something 'close' to it. Theres a demand for it and thats why exists. People who are deliberately deceiving people with fake games only exists at an expensive price point to someone who has too much money and too little sense. When that happens, its MUCH more in the minority. The issue is once these get out and people cant tell the difference. In just about EVERY repro, its blatantly obvious just by looking at the PCB board. Its just that simple. THIS NWC is unprecedented and bad things CAN stem from it.
  13. Who said I was going to?? Where did you derive this from?! Boy, you're bizarre.
  14. We're talking about the person who made the NWC repro? Thats who im referring to. If they're in such need with such a high skill of replicating an NES-EVENT-02 board, they could easily go into business for themselves and create other NES/SNES/Genesis PCBs with mappers and sell them like infiniteneslives or any of those other places.
  15. Yeah because it was first, obviously. The remake wouldn't exist without the other. Kinda strange logic I know but as much as I love and actual prefer the remake, I dont think I could pick it. I should also add a note I need the original OST and that music is not the default in the remake. You need to buy it separately.
  16. So doing something against ebays terms of service, and something that can be potentially damaging to the community you're a part of is really ok because theres a possibility they might need a few extra dollars because or they wont be able to provide for their family. ASTOUNDING. Like this will cripple their entire life. Good lord. Consequences have repercussions. They made their bed now they have to lie in it. Take some accountability in your life.
  17. I do like RE2 remake better but I would have to go with the original.
  18. Thank you for reminding me why I muted you on NA!
  19. Edge was an odd choice but not bad and a nice surprise. I thought the womens Rumble was mostly terrible with the dumbest spot I ever saw with Namois feet 'not touching' the floor. The logic is just so incredibly stupid that every wrestler who gets thrown out legs up is an idiot for standing up and walking away. But they pushed the right people in the right places. The womens RR unfortunately had the largest disparity between legitimate stars and filler. The mens Rumble was good. I cant stand Riddles personality but damn he had a great showing, laid it in and also took it. Him and Bryan was excellent. I hope to see that go somewhere. Big E still looks great. Damian Priest looks like a star. Really hate the #1 winner spot, its just lost its luster and isnt as surprising. Its like they took the gimmicks of the 95 Rumble and 99 Rumble and combined them (1 and 2 being there at the end, and an early participant being injured only to return at the end). When I saw Edge at #1 I new RO would be #2. Lame. Also really didnt love the last man standing match because it looks like every other kind of match ive seen. Theyve lost their specialness too. Wrestlers please stop diving off of high shit for the short attention spanned. Roman is excellent but I think its taking a backstep working with KO in this backyard match. Roman exudes badassness and having him in a match like this will lose its significance when someone (maybe BIg E?) takes the title from him. A dominant heel shouldn't need help from a manager or be put in those situations unless a top face beats him to the punch. Like when Drew and Roman worked. The only finish they could have done is Roman win by cheating. You want the face to beat the dominant heel at his own game and it makes him a bigger super hero. Like what Brock has done, from what I remember. But to do this with KO who isn't a top face (and by that I mean, he has the title) Also I thought it was amusing that the smaller light heavyweight guys in in the 90s (Christian and Edge) looked like some of the bigger guys in there haha. So over all when it was good, it was really good, and when it wasn't it wasn't.
  20. The former I can totally understand. Thats why we have prototype experts. Usually its easy because Nintendo did make prototype boards for EPROMs. But when it comes to a hand made 'in-house' one, how could you possibly know? And with the former, I can't fully agree. They're always gonna be around and MOST times they're harmless, unless you're an uneducated buyer/seller. Which is why I always have been lobbying for EDUCATION. Its not that hard to tell. Except now, when the money matterns. My hope is that this doesn't get worse. I can't feel TOO much sympathy for someone that gets duped buying a fake, but for something like this how would they know? But honestly, I don't think something like these 5 will really hinder the market, or even get anyone duped soon. Its the pandoras box it can open that i'm really not excited on for OTHER things. Or if that person makes more without them letting anyone else know and another one just 'pops up'. Esp re-creating that PCB board. Anyone can really design it and do it, if they have the know how and time. Luckily all that documented stuff Pheo could really pay off if someone isnt sure.
  21. Maybe, but they're not getting jipped ignorantly. They dont want to spend the money on the real thing so they buy something that is ALMOST similar but not for maybe a quarter of the price. They're making the choice to own it fully. Also AFAIK I dont know how much extra they're making buying in 'bulk'. A lot of those games might be like $20 and how much can you mark them up for if everyone sells them at a different price? You get it for 20 and try to sell it for 50 and maybe someone else buys it for 20 and sells it for 30? Im just guessing here, since i've been out of the buying game for a while, but no one is being jipped. The only time I can tell someone got scammed is some idiot with too much money than sense was buy everything without thinking and bought a fake SE. If he did a hair of research he'd know it was fake. Aside from that, I can't think of one instance so far where someone bought something thinking they got the real deal. I once bought a fake Tail Gator but I was already sure it was fake. When I got it I let them know and they refunded me and I tossed it. I couldn't tell from the pics but I would know immediately if I saw it, so to me it was worth the risk just in case. But when it comes to repros, where is the line drawn? Is it ok to make a repro for a game like Mr. Gimmick that wont work on a real NES but only a clone or FPGA system? Or hacks?
