Yeah I found that about him as well. When he sold me Megaman X and the Mega CD I felt bad and told him it was worth more than what he was looking for and he said he got them cheap so is passing the price on. Totally sound guy.

I'm friends with Retro on facebook he's on the level, he get stuff cheap and hate to ask Crazy , so if he asked 20 he sold it for 20.

I know, I'm simply a cynical git from Adverts type shenanigans. I met him, nice bloke and bought a few things from him.
He says if he comes across another he'll let me know, so no worries.

It is to a degree, it looks/sounds like a a shelf ware game but its quite well made, how wide an audience does a digger game have? It build like a kids game for 20 something .

It many be more obcure then rare, but I've only seen 1 copy lol.

Here's a really interesting joystick for a good price.

It works with both the PCE and the Megadrive.

It's a clone of the Neo Geo AES stick (apparently it has microswitches too!) and oddly, the buttons are modeled after the Megadrive arcade stick.

I had an offer of £24 but withdrew it as I just don't have the space for another stick.

I can't find any info about them online anywhere. Oddly, there's a compartment at the bottom for batteries and looks to be a wireless indicator light on the front of it. I wonder did it originally come with a wireless receiver too?

One down side, the cable has a bit of a break on it. It works, but requires some fiddling. Easy fix though.

Nah they've been selling off their gaming stuff a long time now. there was plenty of 360 and PS3 stuff in there too along with things like VCR to DVD kits and the like. Most of the stuff is unofficial though. I bought the headset to use with the 360 and pc and schtuff

although thats just to make myself feel better about not owning a wii u

Very low volume on these make them hard to recommend based on the already low volume of the gamepad (and 3ds!) turtle beach m5's are a great alternative way to go for a cheap set of headphones for the wii u.

If it came with Mario 3D World and a Pro controller then it might be mildly tempting. Will wait til Christmas and see how it looks then I reckon.

So it's 275 for a WiiU with Mario 3D World? That's very tempting indeed.

The premium pack comes with a pro controller does it not?

Spend your money on this instead:

I'm really starting to warm to the idea of this gamepad screen. Just kind of dawned on me how much I'll probably enjoy it as I really do love Nintendo handhelds (and it could more or less be viewed as a fancy handheld)

Only the limited edition Zombi U bundle came with it I think?

I tell you what it's great for, proper, proper Snes emulation. The vc stuff on it is class, & honestly, as a controller itself, it's perfectly fine. I have yet to use my pro controller, over a year on.

I use the pro controller a fair bit with Mario 3D World... Land or whichever it is.

It's a bit annoying that it doesn't work with Sonic: Lost World though as the battery in the WiiU Gamepad is shockingly bad.

I can't have a PSU connected to it as I game either as the charger is wired to a docking station beside the TV.

I should get this for the missus... only let her out when dinner needs to be cooked and services need to be rendered.

Unusual to find a veloceraptor CIB but at that price I'm glad I'm not that sort of collector.
