Well just look at it this way - if you blow something up, you'll probably learn a lot more :pac:

murphyebass

I have a boxed Wachenrodder as well, one of the unknown gems on the saturn. Interesting stuff in the box like the advert for the Dreamcast.

The game is entirely japanese but there's a text translation on gamefaqs that you can use.

An odd one that.
Depending on the controller set up you get drastically different gameplay.
I have an arcade stick to play it, admittedly a sh1te arcade stick at that, and even though it has the requisite 6 buttons to play a Capcom Vs title the controls, even so, are completely bespoke to this title.
But, it does look lovely, just a pity about the controls is all.....
Must get the official stick for this, arcade sticks that plug into the Wiimote will also work with the WiiU, so if you own Tekken on the new Ninty machine a Wii arcade stick will fulfill your fighting needs!

The official stick is actually pretty good, defo worth picking up if ya see it fairly right.

Yeah. Got it knowing about the translation. There is a little artwork book and stickers in there also

Picked up Lollipop Chainsaw for €15 in Smyths new.

Also picked up Shadows of the damned a while back new for €8. there was a lot of Wii games and 3DS games in the sale section too, pretty much 10 months and older but some gems

I'm on the watch for cheap but good Wii games to bolster the collection but so far the selection in the local Smyths is cheap but crap!
Ebay and the channel Islands seem to be a winning combination!

Retr0gamer

A few new things. For gameboy I picked up Mario Picross, Pokemon Trading Card Game and Revenge of the Gator.

Also got Blue Stinger from Pyongyang, the game is pretty much mint, very happy with it. Thanks! Can't wait to give it a go heard it's bat**** insane and utterly stupid.

CiDeRmAn

Blue Stinger, had it years ago, it is mental, full of Resident Evil quality acting too!

Your paying some attention to your Gameboy collection lately...got the bug?

A combination of it being cheap and not having to worry about 50Hz issues. I guess I kind of have a bit of a handheld gaming bug at the moment. I'm amazed at how ignored the gameboy is and how little it's documented so there's still quite a few surprises out there.

Only learnt about trip World recently, an extremely rare PAL only GB game by the guys that made Gimmick. Someday it and Megaman V will be mine!

I have seriously neglected my Gameboy collection... embarrassingly so actually

Retr0gamer

Well I just noticed my SNES and Megadrive collection are pretty embarassing as well. Too many years relying on emulation.

:eek:

You'd want to fix this soon. Especially your Snes collection. Game prices just keep going up and up.

Retr0gamer

I need a job first I much prefer collection NTSC which kind of makes it even more expensive. It's a pain in the ass getting a PAL game to find the developer has actually bothered enhancing it for 50Hz because it's feels all kinds of wrong in 60Hz and still wrong in 50 Hz

La la la I can't hear you

Retr0gamer

I actually managed to get a few usually expensive NTSC SNES games for very reasonabe prices from an awful seller from another site. She was awful at sending stuff, could take her 3 months to post it but at least she would always eventually get around to it. Got Secret of Mana, Paper Mario and also Rule of Rose from her for decent prices as well as a few more I can't remember. Pity she's not selling anymore.

At least I'm safe in the knowledge that I have a sealed Final Fantasy VIII to retire off. Its the platinum version, but still, it should net me close to tree fiddy million dollars

If you return to Galbadia on Disc 3 the Boss should be Batman and not a generic demon. Also Godzilla and not a dinosaur skeleton should be the boss in Balam Garden.
