Any of you lads have much experience buying from Japan? I've noticed the sellers are fairly competitive and the games don't seem to be as scarce either. I've seen 3-4 copies of a game all priced the same whereas PAL versions on eBay there'd be 3-4 copies in total. Shipping rates are feck all too. Don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks. Just looking at picking up the odd game. Mainly rail shooters or fighters.

If it’s rail shooters or fighters you’re after then the language barrier shouldn’t be a problem. Just make sure your console can play the games and isn’t region locked. Or you’ve got a modchip or whatever. I’ve sourced most of my games from Japan because they’re usually much cheaper in general and nearly always in fantastic condition.

Drunken Atavan time. Unless you’ve seen a drag queen perform to this song you haven’t lived, because men are trash.

This has been your public service announcement.

Lots of love, me.

Right guys i'm stuck for space and cant decide what to keep, the amstrad cpc464 or the atari st 520stfm, enjoy both of them but cant choose which to part with.
I like both equally, which is the more powerful of the two, i'm leaning towards the ST since its boxed but hard to make a decision.

Go with the ST !

Rum and country music? An eclectic choice Sir Halen. When drinking rum, this is what you should be listening to

You could try buyee.jp (haven’t veriefied myself) or send a very nice mail to the seller to ask for intl. shipping.

Haha, no you really need some Shania Twain to ease the pain.

Who’s bed have your boots been under Inviere? (If that is your real name) please tell us.

Unrelated, but y’all should really follow my cat on instagram. He’s very handsome and his content is lit.

Yep, KV-21LS30B. Great little TV she is, colours just pop.

Do you know what the difference is between the LS30B and the LS35B line of Sony Trinitrons? Looks like they have the same FE-2 chassis, just not sure of any other differences. Think I'm about to snatch a KV-29LS35B....

Better line up on international version imho with last resort. all the slugs, mutation nation and shock troopers. Undecided yet but if I do pick one up it'll be the Japanese version becasue its looks a lot better and I'am sure itll be ahem 'fixed' to play whatever games you want.

I think I want the Neo Geo Mini. I have a feeling I'll be unpleasantly surprised by the price though

A bit of controversy surrounding the Atari VCS cobsole.

It looks freaking awesome but is that his real voice on the presentation? I though it was dubber till I lip read.

Couldn't care less about the system anyways.

International game list is better, but only just.

Jap version has Alpha Mission II, Twinkle Star Sprites and The Last Blade over it. (Can't believe they only included The Last Blade 2 on the Int version)

Also, where the **** is Puzzle Bobble?!

Anyone see the following video? The Japanese version looks miles better. International one doesn't really look like it knows what it wants to be.

DinoRex

I still don't get why they didn't just do a mini AES with HDMI out and one of those nice control pads.

The tiny stick and GBA SP sized screen are just awful looking.

Yeah Japanese version looks far nicer.. Who needs so many kof though.. It'll be hacked in no time anyways making the gameslist irrelevant. Not hearing great things about the controllers though, hands on impressions say they feel cheap.

Definitely, I'd have been interested in that.

Shapey Fiend

The AES is such a pretty console but half that is the finish. I don't know if they'd be able to do a mini version that does it justice?

This looks like an effective novelty product to put on store shelves. There isn't a huge shared nostalgia for the AES because nobody here had them back in the day but they'd probably find the mini arcade machine appealing. There's no way I'm going to want to play these games on a 7" lcd screen for more than 10 minutes.

So, time to pick up a NeoGeo X, strip it out and install a dedicated NeoGeo image on a RPi inside.
Better than that thing.
I would imagine it must be licencing but there isn't Neo Turf Masters or Neo Drift Out.
I wonder if this will be a device that can be hacked... we shall see!
