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.

I got a 400 in 1 cart for my AV modded Famicom last night and it's fantastic!
Most of these carts are awful with dreadful hacks throughout and only a handful of actual titles included.
This is almost the same except that it has 200/300 individual Famicom games on it, unhacked versions too, and a few forgettable rubbish in the last 100, but seperated from the rest.
So it's a perfect companion to my original Famicom carts and serves as a pointer to upcoming games worth buying for the console.

Just picked up a lovely DSi XL, boxed and complete, to add to the collection, I now have a pretty complete Nintendo Handheld collection,

Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Light
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance
Gameboy Advance SP
Gameboy Advance SP ags101
Gameboy Micro
DS
DS lite
DSi
DSi XL
3DS XL
2DS

add in a couple of Game & Watches as well as the Pikachu Mini and it's all good!

Well, almost, sold my launch 3DS to fund my 3DS XL, and I need it back, or one very similar, once I have that the collection will be pretty much complete!

Just filled the slot, with a lovely Legand of Zelda themed black "classic" 3DS, very nice indeed.
And what did I find out after thinking sweet sweet thoughts of my complete collection of Ninty handhelds, NEW 3DS/XL incoming!
Bugger, I have to contrive excuses to need more of the same machine that can play the same games, more or less.
Bugger!

So, question will be, in 2015....
Do I splurge on a pair of 3DS consoles, all over again?
Or do I buy an Xbox One at long last?

I think the smaller of the two new 3DS consoles might do the trick for the time being, depending on what they launch with it here, although I dare say it'll get plenty of use with Metal Gear Solid 3D

Was in Game in Derry today and picked up a Turtle Beach Wii U gaming headset for £9.99. For that price, I figured why not?

Don't judge me but I just had Sonic Lost World Wii U version delivered today

Yes, yes it's true.
The game has two modes as well, an original and a rejigged one, only the visuals are affected.
The 3d effect is pretty nice.
While on the subject of 3DS titles, seek out Bit Trip Saga, well worth finding, cheap right now but I expect it'll be worth few bob later on.
Another good one is the Pacman/Galaga collection, forget the dreadful 3DS only ports, worth the price of admission are the inclusion of Pacman Championship Edition and Galaga Legions.
Also, there's the addition of 3D enhanced versions of the original Pacman and Galaga games, which is pretty nice.

It's a great buy, hard to find.
That said....
It's free on PC and there's a free version that will run on any PSP.

Yeah but what's a collection without physical copies! Comon man, you're better than that

It was from Adverts.ie actually. The game is in pristine condition and the Nintendo Club Points haven't even been redeemed.

Like you're paying a tenner for the game and the keyboard so for that cheap, I'd nearly expect it to be made of cardboard and fall apart at the slightest touch!

Don't forget this was once a full priced game. With a bigger tag. As for the keyboard, I find it to be perfect for what I need/want.

EDIT: I'm using it now, with my laptop across the room and it's working perfect. The keys feels pretty solid considering it's made of plastic. The only thing i would say is that it runs on batteries. Which for some people might be a deal breaker.

The Keyboard is a solid chicklet style keyboard, very nice indeed.

I picked up Super Princess Peach today, only €12 in CEX Santry.
I also picked up a current gen console that is inappropriate to mention in Nintendo territory, suffice it to say that my WiiU won't be neglected, I promise!

I got it to pair with my phone/nexus extremely easy. Hold FN when you turn the KB on then search for it.

Be interested to hear about the quality of the bluetooth keyboard. Was considering it for my tablet and smart TV.

Still figuring out the kinks myself as I am trying to pair it with a Galaxy Note 10.1 and a Kobo Arc, will look up again later on how to do this and will update.

Finally picked up a Pokemon Typing Adventure to see if this Bluetooth Keyboard is all it's cracked up to be, also grabbed Dragon Quest 9 for a fiver in Argos too. Now to find a Steel Diver and I'll be set for a while.

Steel Diver started out as a tech demo given out free at a trade show on the DS, then the game rom escaped and remains playable via dodgy flash card.
The 3DS game is not that bad, probably needs to be loved little bit more, it has some issues but it's fun, especially at that price.
