MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Seen some deals I couldn’t pass up! Disney Tsum Tsum Festival and Super Monkey Ball BB HD are part of a buy 2 get 3 deal on Amazon (third game is Dragonball FighterZ which is taking a while to ship). Puyo Puyo Tetris was $19.99, I really want the launch version with the Target exclusive decal set but this will have to do for now. Mama’s Combo Pack vol. 1 I snagged from eBay, I picked up vol. 2 a while back but vol. 1 was getting hard to find for cheap. Of the 4 games from these two releases I think I like Outdoor Adventures the most, it’s pretty far off the Cooking Mama formula. Anyway I like multipack releases so these were on my list for a while. Shaq Fu and LEGO Worlds were a great deal from @ap123 Racing Gears Advance and Moon were part of a bundle deal I got on Mercari, these are two big pickups for me, Racing Gears being my favorite pickup in a while, not just because I love racing games but also because this features a soundtrack by Neil Voss that is stellar (eventually I hope to have a complete set of games featuring his work). Also this box has a gatefold cover which is pretty unique. Edited April 6, 2020 by MiamiSlice 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorkOverlord | 686 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I did it! I went a whole month without buying a single video game! I celebrated by buying three video games. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleck586 | 300 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) That was a BIG box from NISA. Holy cow. Looks like they sent two orders together. All this came today. Edited April 6, 2020 by Fleck586 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jicsan | 589 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I was like, "what's a lazer cat?" Then I saw it and to quote another meme, "When you see it, you'll shit bricks!" LOL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdius | 1,514 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Got some new things. I've been on a PSP kick lately and picked those two games that I wanted and never played. I found the Playtronic DKC 2 for a very good price and couldn't let it pass. The same goes for the 32X Doom (I sold my US copy after buying this one from Tectoy). And I couldn't believe when I found the Spiderman game on Mercado Livre. It was considerably cheaper than on ebay so I had to buy it even though it was still very expensive. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to do more research. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 A few more this week. I've been chasing that Sqoon manual for what seems like forever and am very happy to check it off the list. Mario is in great shape, so I now I just need the variant box for that one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the emulation feel? Doesn't feel like emulation at all to me, feels just like it should, for better and worse I only tried Mega Man and Sonic Triple Trouble so far though. While the GG is not among my favorites I have always wanted an accurate way to play them on my setup, most of my portables have a means in doing so (PSP, Vita, GB-GBA, etc) but the GG always seemed weirdly absent from having a proper way to play original carts. While I have a very extensive GG collection I do also own an Everdrive that also works on this, very neat. I believe that outside of 3 games I can't track down i'm basically done with what I want for the system, even got a mcwill install along with a refurb on a original unit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguy | 772 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Since being stuck at home, I've been keeping an eye on cheap Game Boys lots on eBay to. This is everything from the past 5 listings, $58 total. Blank game is another Namco Museum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 An update on DW. I decided to remove the yellow price tags. They were old, crusty, no longer legible and quite frankly just looked bad. I did keep the original $46.99 price tag from Woolworth. All that's left now is to open it.....I mean...keep it locked away in the closet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Always did like that art back in the day. Despite FF being the better RPG probably for people at the time, the box art of that one made little sense. This one with the color, the dragon raging on the front with the warrior hero it really catches the eye and pulls you in. That's one worth stuffing on a wall in a shadow box or something.

It's interesting because if you compare it to the FC box art, it has all the same components, even the warrior is wearing the same armour. It's just the art style that's different. But as the box says, the US version does seem more EPIC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western releases are marketed as "mature" while the original Japanese is more fantastic and fanciful. I guess they know we love guns, guts, and glory. I don't know the exact timeline of Dragon Ball's popularity, but the FC cover art was drawn by Akira Toriyama. That fact alone would likely attract Japanese customers, but may confuse Western audiences. Edited April 16, 2020 by DoctorEncore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 The box art looks like you are on a "Quest" to kill a "Dragon". It's funny how the Japanese box spoils the last boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctornick | 419 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Just grabbed a nice CIB copy of Ghouls and Ghosts on the Master System! I've been looking for this for awhile and it puts me at 25 left for the US CIB set. Also I have to beat it now!
