New Ninty Gets!

CiDeRmAn

Sorry to the most awesome mod in these parts for starting such a thread.
And I acknowledge the overlap between this forum and the retro game forum.
But I think Nintendo fans out there who love their WiiU and Wii, maybe love their new 3DSXL, should be aware of the Ninty fresh goodness out there and purchases of same.
Perhaps expanding knowledge and encouraging awesome spending on Nintendo gems they might never have come across.

Today I got three things of interest.

First was a lovely mint Gameboy Micro, dressed in black.
This console is a real peach, and hosts a tiny form factor and a small, crisp screen.
This is probably my 4th GB Micro over the years and a fabulous piece of kit.
No Nintendo owner who loves the company's output should be without one.
Like the GBA and GBA:SP it is compatible with the entire GBA back catalogue, but unlike those other machines the GB Micro won't run your Gameboy or Gameboy Color library.

I also picked up Boktai and Boktai 2, both made by Kojima, the gent behind Metal Gear Solid and Zone of Enders, very nice GBA rpgs they are too, using actual sunlight to power up your weapon.

So, a few very nice Nintendo gets there.
I can't recommend picking up Nintendo hardware enough, it is almost all worth having, aside perhaps for the badly made Wii Mini, piece of sh1te that it is.

Picked up two weird ones in CeX in the past week. Bomberman 2 for €12 and Ys Strategy for €3.50 both for d

Found a copy of Starfox 3DS in CEX for 12 euro. Not sure if that's a good deal or not but I got it anyway.

Assuming it has the normal packing and not that gross nintendo selects one, its decent.

The_B_Man

Ye its the original packaging. Not Nintendo Selects packaging.

Picked up Alien Infestation on DS for €10 in CEX

Good game so far, reminiscent of metroid

CiDeRmAn

I think that's even less in Gamestop, but it's a brilliant game.

I picked up Ultimate NES Remix this morning in CEX in Santry. Only €20 as the box went missing. And it seems like a cracker!
Nice to have a physical copy too, while I have the first one on the WiiU.

Well, got my birthday present today.

Was really annoyed that smyths did not take one4all vouchers as I wanted to pick up 3ds and pokemon bundle.
Went instead to argos and picked up 3ds amd got other games.

Mr E

Happy birthday. That lot will keep you going for a while.

I bought it mainly due to monster hunter. I doubt it will leave my 3ds at all hehe. I got my old games when I still had 3ds too.

Now I just need to wait for fire emblem.

Star Lord

Enjoy MH4U! No doubt that you'll pass my progress in no time at all! (I'm solo, and I'm just not good enough, but damnit, I do enjoy it!)

Lovely gets there Shadow! Those Nature Valley bars are very tasty, especially the berry ones. :pac:

Couple of the best Cube games in Cex Tallaght if anyone's interested. Resi 0 1 & 4, Mario "the best thing ever" Sunshine etc.

Not super cheap, mind. But worth it.

CiDeRmAn

This was waiting upon my desk this morning, having arrived from the land of the rising sun yesterday...

A nice collection of 3 classic Famicom shmups for the Snes,
Looking forward to getting it home this evening for a blast!

Probably not gonna keep the game maybe sell it on. Keep the coin probably though.

Looking for a little advice guys. Thinking of getting an arcade stick to use via Bluetooth on Android for mema games, I'm looking at the 8bitdo stick, I love to look of both of them but they are kinda expensive. Anyone have one of these? Do they work well? Or any other sticks with Bluetooth I should have a look into?

Thanks!

I'd be interested in this (game only) if you do decide to sell it on, my brother and I were looking to get it between us for the handiness of having the 3 games on one shared cartridge but we missed out when it went on sale.

On topic: I got this on the CEX website recently, it's probably a terrible game :pac:

Try the arcade and retro forum, or Android devices forum maybe? As it's not Nintendo related, it wouldn't be one for here!
For what it's worth though, I have an 8bitdo Bluetooth SNES controller, and it's really very good.

CiDeRmAn

What's a mema game?
Or is it Mame?
To keep it Ninty related you may be able to pair up your bluetooth Nintendo controllers, Wiimote, Pro controller etc, not sure of the method though.

Ace Attorney

Picked up and enjoying the castlevania trilogy on the Ds, my last castlevania was on the n64 and havent gone near the series since, order of Ecclesia is pretty good, looking forward to getting stuck into the other two games.

CiDeRmAn

The N64 game was pretty awful, but the DS and GBA games are outstanding, and getting more expensive preowned as well.
Be careful if buying the latter, an awful lot of fakes out there, particularly on ebay.
At least Symphony of the Night is easy to get now, thanks to it's presence on digital shops, an amazing game, one of the best.

ShadowHearth

After work went to smiths and finally got myself fire emblem!!! I am up since 4, I just hope I won't pass out after shower and be able to play it today.
I got xenoblades few weeks ago too, but it's still in wrapper. When I bought 3ds 2 months ago I poped in Monster Hunter 4 and it never left with 100h in already.

CiDeRmAn

Picked up an uncommon one in CEX just now,
Major Minor's Majestic March for the Wii
I don't think it's supposed to be awesome but the art style is the same person as did Parappa the Rappa on the PS all those years ago, and it was only €3.50
Just looked on eBay, tends to be quite cheap, but this was the first time I've seen it out and about.

CiDeRmAn

Gots me some Kirby this morning, and that's not a euphemism for strangling the turkey, comes with the amiibo too!
€49.99 in Smyth's

ShadowHearth

So I worked 11 days and did over 110 hours and add 22h of driving. This is my first day off and I decided to reward myself.

Got new 3ds xl and keeping my normal new 3ds. My misses wants it. My big hands finally will be comfortable after playing mh4 140h.

Ninja edit: oh yeah, got pokemon too. It was smyths deal, so an extra tenner for game. Never played pokemon, so will find out what's the fuss about. Though for now it's going in to pile of gotten and not played games, which already includes: fire emblem, xenoblades, zelda and now pokemon.
