If you return to Galbadia on Disc 3 the Boss should be Batman and not a generic demon. Also Godzilla and not a dinosaur skeleton should be the boss in Balam Garden.

Don't forget to look out for Rambo too.

yeah came from ronnie, monitor is truely phenomenal, far better than i expected tbh, zero burn too and colors are incredible.

unky chop chop · 27-04-2013 04:15AM

Good man.good man
I got my astro of ronnie as well.
Yours looks in immaculate shape..no scratchs on the side at all.
My monitor remote board is under the cp.
That's where it should be...maybe it got dislocated in transport.won't be hard to find:)
Did u get a 15hz monitor with it?
Beast of a cab...congats

Actually looks like its been powder painted its so clean.
I think mine may have got a lick of paint but then it only has 3000+ on the coin counter

27-04-2013 05:50AM

yeah polished up well, couple of minor bits and the doors could do with a spray but i have to say it's incredibly clean overall, found the remote board after when I removed the front cover, it was in the monitor frame where its suppose to be lol, dont suppose moving it to inside the control panel would do any harm, make it a bit more accessible. Are the fluorescent tubes/starter buls standard fare? there's none in the cabinet and i wanna stick one in. MS9 in it as far as I can tell.

Lovely cab mozie81 congrats. :cool:

CiDeRmAn · 27-04-2013 11:44AM

I'm delighted to say that Kirbys Epic Yarn and Kirbys Adventure just arrived via parcel motel from the channel Islands, in perfect condition. The great thing is the two cost 26 euro, when Kirby's Adventure is going for over 50 right now most places.
I'm pretty pleased with myself!
I'm only lacking a handful of titles now for the the machine, including Galaxy 2.

27-04-2013 12:01PM

Nice one Mozie!
I see you bought a one slot on J+ too!
man that screen looks class!
gotta love the m29's

CiDeRmAn · 27-04-2013 12:02PM

It's a actually shocking how expensive some Wii games are getting, and not the small release, niche stuff, Metroid, Kirby, Mario, all big money. Is this a customer led thing or are the retailers responsible?
Or is it, despite the flourishing of games for the Wii most of them were pap and so the handful of decent titles became in demand?

Pyongyang · 27-04-2013 12:14PM

Excellent purchase mozie81! Not just the cab, but the game too!

It's because of Nintendo. When you see a game discounted in a shop it's not because the retailer decided to discount it, it's because the publisher did. The retailer buys stock on credit with the publisher and pays them back on everyone sold. If there is unsold stock the retailer and publisher discuss a credit reduction so the games price can be lowered to get rid of stock. Nintendo very rarely do this unless a game performs miserably like Metroid Other M. The thing is Nintendo know their games have a long shelf life and won't discount them. Look at NSMB Wii. We all laughed when Reggie said that it would outsell Modern Warfare 2 but it was a slow burner and has far outsold that game over a couple of months while Modern Warfare 2 sold the majority of it's units during the launch weeks.

Well, I'm happy that over all, I have paid no where near the normal market value for any of my Wii games, as I collect the best of what has lived on my hdd over the years!
Just had a quick blast of both games and they are as good as ever, showing up, perhaps, the lack of anything comparable on either the 360 or PS3, regardless of horsepower, well maybe there is some hope in XBLA/PSN and the Indie scene, but nothing concretely published seems as "crafted" as the good stuff on the Wii, not in this style anyway.

heres a pic of me trying out my mates rift!
still feeling sick!
this has serious potential

Andrew76 · 27-04-2013 02:30PM

Nice! What were you playing/testing out on it?

27-04-2013 02:37PM

Tried a couple of tech demos and TF2
Its the shame the screen is not a higher res but its early days

Yeah, I picked up another one cause the one I picked up there a few weeks back is just showing a garbled mess on the screen, could be bios I think.

My Test PS2 appears to be missing.

There's a copy of Firewarrior where it sat...

:eek:

CiDeRmAn · 27-04-2013 05:34PM

Play it, go on, PLAY IT!!!!!!

If I liked you I'd have left Coldwinter......

As another GET, I picked up a sealed copy of Luigis Mansion 2 for a mere 30 notes, has to be put away for my sons birthday in June though, such a good daddy am I.

Also, got Kerbdogs old but still great 42" plasma today, and the contrast ratio is outta sight, very pleased!
Now to play a bit of Rez HD on it!

o1s1n · 27-04-2013 07:30PM

30 quid for Luigi's Mansion 2? Absolute steal.

It's a great game but I feel like I may have been a bit mental dropping €45 on it. 10 hours in and almost finished the main quest. I know I know, longevity isn't a sign of a good game..but it's a bit mad when you're paying €4.50 per hour! :eek:

CiDeRmAn · 27-04-2013 07:44PM

Sadly, no games for me as the TV is occupied by kids watching films this evening, bummer.....

cloud493 · 27-04-2013 08:29PM

I paid 43 for luigis mansion the other day :pac:

TechnoFreek · 27-04-2013 09:33PM

....an email from Spectre telling me that my marquee order would be late shipping as the printers forgot to print one of them :-(

MrVestek · 27-04-2013 10:14PM

Picked up Shenmue 1 today from Retropolis complete in box for the ludicrusly reasonable price of €15... along with Michael Jackson's Moonwalker cart and Puzzle Bobble 4 sealed NTSC/Jap for Dreamcast.

The guy is seriously reasonable for that kinda stuff, The R.A.G.E won't be getting any more of my cash that's for sure. Very happy.
