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.

It's the Chibi Robo disc expansion, it only came out in Japan, it was a collaboration with Uniqlo

I tried to cut them off at the pass, by telling everyone I didn't want Lego. Any Lego.
I got a load of random Lego sets and some kids Lego books. Yes I like Lego but I don't need a 2017 Lego annual.

They're cute! I would have loved them for the lads.
I got Pikachu PJs but I didn't really think if it as a present, didn't open them, I put it on as soon as I saw them lol.

I got surprisingly little gaming goodness for Christmas, I have hopes sense will prevail for my birthday though.

I saw this and was thinking of the small talk mentioned in posts with people that don't play games

I might faint, I was such a fool paying full price I thought it'd end up being hard to find.
No AFAIK you don't need it, it Judd gives you a power boost. I'm in world 3 haven't used it yet.

CiDeRmAn

The Amiibo has popped up in sales and it's probably the best thing about the game, so you'll probably find it for a fiver somewhere.

The Chibi Robot franchise has been decreasing in awesomeness since the sublime GameCube original, imho

I think I'm the only one that loved Park Patrol

. Hard to beat the GC ver but I think PP was close

RobbingBandit

Was an also ran purchase really but for €1 I thought why not, never managed to play the game cube version sadly was a running joke in gameslop years ago loads of staff knew I wanted the game I went everywhere trying to get it but the bar stewards bought them before I could, bar stewards indeed.

I never saw it in the wild, even when I worked there.
It was only much later that I picked up a copy.
Still haven't played much of it, but it's always good to know it's there!

It's not that long (main is 13 hours, with extra it's 16) you should try get to the end, it's amazing. You'll never know what happens the eggs and the toys!

I'd so temped to play it again, I just want to be the frog and talk to Jenny.

A very long time ago I paid £75 in Forbidden Planet in Belfast for an American ds game called Lunar Dragon Song, it was an absolute bull**** port of the Saturn game Lunar Silver Star with 3/4 of the game removed due to the very small capacity of a ds cart, so you aren't the only one to fall for a port/remake/crap representation of a familiar game or series, that game I bought was localised for Europe a year or so after I bought it and ended up in the €5 bargain bin.

It's such a balls isn't it? I'm usually good to get a bargain so it's hard to let go :pac:

Just arrived on my desk here in work,
Sega 3D Classics Collection for the 3DS.
Only €20 shipped to Parcel Motel from Base.com
It's gone up a pound since then, but it's still cheaper than Argos.

CiDeRmAn

Just picked up Dragon Quest VIII in Argos, €37.99.
They aren't online, but you'll find them on the instore machines.
Dragon Quest Builders has gone up too btw, from €29.99 to €41.99, though it's for the PS4 and so I definitely didn't just buy it for my son....

Dragon Quest VIII came today with some art I ordered from Oh Carol, very happy today

You're only getting the one thanks, not thanking the retro version of this post.

Picked up Xenoblade 3D myself today and had to stop myself from getting Bravely Second as well.

Picked up the PAL version of Snowboard Kids 2 from Oz complete in box. Didn't pay silly money but it's definitely the most expensive jewel in my collection. Only 4 games to go for my CiB PAL n64 set.
Two awkward to find sports games from 1999 and the two best games on the system last; ocarina of time and mario 64. Have both but the box got wrecked over the years.

Do you mean you have a complete PAL N64 collection, all with boxes??

Finally bought PES 12 on the Wii. It cost me the princely sum of €2. I refused to buy this game years ago as it had a combination of teams I don't like. Ronaldo on the cover, Real Madrid, then Manchester United and England officially licensed within the game. :mad:

It really was a great series on the Wii, which got me thinking that with the Switch they now have the tools to make the ultimate PES. Then again it's Konami and they cheaped out on the Wii versions too by using old PS2 engines.

Nearly.
Yes, all have boxes and manuals (though a couple of boxes are a little worn).
I try and only buy the UKV version too which makes it a little harder since the market is awash with the DE or FR, SPA and IT ones.
Obviously the AUS exclusives aren't UKV but at least they have English speaking/text.
Have a lot of the special editions of the machine too.

That's amazing, fair play to you! The n64 is my favourite nintendo console! I did have a fairly decent collection untilI sold it all! One of these days I'll start collecting again!

That's very impressive! You should post up on the Arcade and Retro forum here with a picture or two, I'd love to see that stuff!
