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.

If anyone sees a Boo cheap and doesn't mind picking me up one I'd appreciate uttered wasn't any in Argos, I should try Smyths.

Banjo

Think the days of Smyth's having decent Amiibo are long gone, at least inside the pale.

In the queue for a 1 quid Boo!

RobbingBandit

Will be going to Newry tomorrow so if any Amiibo's I will grab a bucket load, Lisburn next week if I can manage it.

I just downloaded Thumper, again, this time for the Switch, and it's just as evil a beast as on the PS4.
And, if they ever make a retail version, I'll probably buy that too!

Not my photo of course but this came today

Picked up Children of Mana for €10 in cex Liffey street, no manuel but very happy to find such a gem.

More of an Arcade and Retro get tbh, but worth posting here too,
Two reproduction GBA carts arrived today,
One was Mother and Mother 2, the former a lovely translation, by Tomato, of the original Famicom game and the latter a lacklustre effort but that's ok, I have Earthbound for the SNES.
The other cart was the Tomato translation of Mother 3 which looks fantastic, looking forward to giving them a lash.

So, Cave Story+ arrived today, less than €30 with postage, and though preowned it has everything, including the nice manual and soundtrack mini CD.
Can't wait to try it out!

Also, I believe that they are considering updating it to include the original visuals and audio, which would be a great addition to the pack.

I posted in A&R but it's a Ninty get too

Lost some of my amiibos and a rake of 3ds and ds games recently during a clear out at home someone helping me threw out a box full of gaming stuff by accident

Long story short I picked up Ocarina of Time yesterday in Argos for €18.99 and Ever Oasis in CeX today for €38 need to get Dragon Quest VIII from Argos or Smyths tomorrow both have it for €25.

Note to all keep your 3ds games in them their boxes especially rare ones otherwise your out a crap load to replace them, third time now I will have had to re buy pokemon X and y and I don't think I'll ever manage to replace persona q cartridge lucky enough it's cheap on the store.

Corholio

Picked this up in Gamestop today. Never saw hardly any or any at all copies around even when it was released. Will be one of those more uncommon titles in a few years time I think.

CiDeRmAn

That is a stupid hard game.
It makes me feel less of a man just playing it.
So it sits there, mocking me from the shelf....

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

I always forget about that, should get a copy myself. Is it only hard to find locally?

A friend is looking for a pal N64 power supply, where's the best place to go? I asked on General Retro but got no reply, may as well ask while I'm here.

RobbingBandit

Retropolis guy on adverts might be worth a contact, even keep an eye on adverts for a cheap N64, can never have enough, the only dangerous amount is none

RobbingBandit

One fire emblem birthright and over six conquest left in airside Smyth's.

CeX have a couple of N64 listed on their site.

Symths has been selling off a bunch of pre owned stuff today! No switch stuff, but a fair bit of Wii U and 3DS stuff!

RobbingBandit

One day I don't look in pre owned section of smyths as it's usually tripe in swords Bastardos, still got two Fire Emblem for €30 and Teddy Together for €5 plus a near impossible to find Eagle Flight PS4 game for €10 hope I didn't miss anything good. For €3 they can't be good though.
