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.

The top of the shell has a little clicky bit on the poke ball you can click to your hearts content.

Wasn't sure how big those items were, thank God you put in a satsuma for scale!

Does the Ultra Dual edition contain anything other than the two games?

That's no satsuma, that's a basketball! Fully operational one too, I might add.

Where did you get the dual edition? Was it dear?

A steel book case and a code for 100 potions in game.

Them 3 are my latest switch purchases.

Pac1Man

I am a fan of that UI.

Similar to the PS4 one with the row of games. The Switch dark theme looks a lot better than the light one above I think.

RobbingBandit

On the way to get Pokemon Ultra Moon cause I am a sociopath who can't stop buying 3ds games.

2018 needs to be the ninty forum intervention period. Me well not first as I want to keep indulging this crazy collecting.

Ace Attorney

Yay finally came today!

Gunmonkey

Arrived yesterday (and nabbed Xeno2 when it was cheap in Argos on Friday)

The first Switch related bits arrived today. The controller feels amazing in the hand, more weight to it than the Wii U pro controller which is nice. Just need the Switch itself to arrive now and I'll be sorted. :pac:

If you get a box of Daz you're going to look soooo foolish

Not sure which would be worse - getting a box of washing up powder or the awful puns on here! :P

I got the Orzly case and screen protectors a few days ago. Not mad about the colour of the case, and the fact that it doesn't fit the charger that comes with the Switch is a tiny bit annoying, although that's massive tbf. Besides that it seems good.

The screen protector package is very good. Loads of bits and pieces to help you get the thing on properly, great instructions and the cover itself seems suitably tough.

Waiting on BOTW, Splatoon 2 and Skyrim from amazon.de, along with some USB-C cables and a bluetooth receiver for the headphone jack. Also hoping Santy will bring Mario+Rabbids and Mario Kart, so should have plenty to keep me busy for a while.

Yeah I'm going to put on that protector first thing when I get the Switch, install any updates then put it back in the box til Christmas (even though it's a present to myself!).

Do you have a link for the bluetooth receiver you mentioned? It would be great to use headphones while the Switch is still docked.

It was just a cheapo job from the thread in bargain alerts from some random Asian company:

It hasn't arrived and probably won't for a while so no idea how well it might work but worth a punt for pennies.

Got two Wii games today,
Gunblade and Day of Disaster.
The former is showing its age but the latter is pretty good, a survival horror where the monsters are the calamity happening to the city around you.

Mr.Saturn

Gunblade's 'Score Attack' is the just most addictive thing. You establish one score and then you're like "I can do better' and, before you know, you're in an unending war to outdo yourself. Also, the VO is a fine precursor to the cheesy heights of HotD and Ghost Squad.

I would love if they'd bring Starblade Alpha back, just loved the original arcade game and the edition released on the 3DO, even the PS version was great.

Andrew76

Thankfully no box of Daz! So much for waiting until next summer to get one. :pac:

Mario Odyssey is due next Monday so I'll get Zelda and Puyo Puyo, then Golf Story from the store and that will do me for Christmas I think.

Still searching for a decent case.

Saw CEX were offering €42 credit for BoTW (WiiU) so brought it and some others I have double dipped on Steam and ended up with €83 so grabbed Mario + Rabbids and Bomberman R with a bit spare.

Wolverine359

A nice Legend of Zelda mug arrived in the post for me today.

Hyrulian tea, anyone?

RobbingBandit

Bought ultra sun to use as a gift not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
