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.

Trying to talk about say, Overwatch or the last guardian is hard enough, most people seem to have no idea what they are. I mention zelda, mario, metroid, and people look at me like I'm talking a foreign language.

I remember explaining Chino Robo to someone, even to people who play games a bit it can be hard to sell.
It's such an amazing game though.

Put it this way telling them you like video games whomever they may be is much better than sock puppets.

Watched Harry Potter and a couple episodes of West Wing to bring in the new year because I knew there are 2 things people are interested in on the pub here and that's football and drink. So chose not to go. Oh and they're also interested in darts which is even more exciting

Darts is a lesser evil to me. The "new year new me" bores me to tears, that is why I usually babysit. I played Pkmn Sun and watched Stranger Things with my mam lol. I'm getting over a throat and chest infection.

Do they think they're all kids games?
It's so hard.
I sometimes find it worse though if they do know and fellas want to challenge my knowledge to see if "I really do play games". Ugh.

Hey, me too!
I was at a family thing of Mrs Ciderman, her sister in laws brothers spent two hours talking football, football coaching, local football coaching and, eventually, attention stuff my way when they asked what I was into.
Needless to say, my reply of "painting and videogames" was met with 5 secs of stoney silence before the conversation returned, against all expectations, to football.
But, at a Beers, sure we're as interesting as anyone else, you even more so!

Oh stop, OK so weak it's exactly like what'd happen to me. Are you serious? Two hours of football? Watching it is bad enough but listening to it.

I remember going to Amsterdam and got the "how many brownie/joints did you have" "none" "ugh what did you do so? "I went to a huge arcade with my friend"

Painting then of course you get the "draw something now" "can you draw me a new tattoo?"

You are NOT boring.

As a person - I think I so am.
The events that often unfold around me - not boring at all.
I dread people asking about hobbies or interests, most of the time I can see their eyes glaze over.

I thought 'Fuzzy' was a reference to some hallucinogenic? The datura plant maybe?
'Tis a great username to be fair.

Thanks! It probably is to do with it, (wiki says : The effects of touching Fuzzies may parody the stereotypical visual, mental and physical effects of popular psychedelic drugs such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms.)
I'm very very boring unfortunately and just often have ear troubles lol.

Now have the SMB3 map music stuck in my head. Will pass on the skirt though. You'll have to model it.

I got this Super Mario Bros 3 map skirt second hand, I had my eye on it for ages and said I'd finally buy it as a treat for doing well in my first aid exam. The print is a bit blurry but I don't mind.

Yes, I thought it was great. I felt parts dragged on a bit at times though.

It's a pity Zero Time Dilemma is digital only!

It is and Zero Escape 2 is much better but when they reference the first game it'd lose impact.
The newest one? I got an American copy with the watch for Vita, took forever but it was worth it
