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.

Honestly? I'm not feeling it; I kinda prefer playing other games right now. Maybe when I have more time to get into it...

It's yours for the bargain price of €75, don't think I need to tell you where was selling it for that price today.

I'd love to know exactly how many copies of Watch Dogs they've sold for 75 Euro.

Watchdogs isn't worth playing on any platform, specially not the Wii U at that price.

I would rather know there mental state after payin 75 quid for watchdogs

It's sort of surreal now to look back at all the excitement and frothing at the mouth over Watch Dogs at E3. Such a frustrating and boring game to be honest, thankfully only played it at a mate's house.

CiDeRmAn

Watchdogs = Assassins Creed + Driving around.
Not the revolution we were promised in that one.

Rayman Legends arrived yesterday, three games left to go for the full WiiU set. It would have been two but a mate convinced me to reconsider Hyrule Warriors...the bastard.

Also picked up A Link Between Worlds when it was discounted on Amazon last week.

You should grab the two Pokemon games (OR and AS) - they come in lovely coloured cases that look great on your shelf, perfect for someone who has no way of playing the cartridges inside the case. Also, you might as well pre-order Xenoblade 3DS. It's not playable on the regular 3DS, it's new 3DS only, but in your situation that doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

At long last, I have Zelda: Links Awakening DX incoming for the Gameboy Color.
Happy days!
Now to insult retrogamers, and their allied Nintendo fans, by playing it on my Retron 5!

Consider me double insulted! :pac:

Nah, getting to play it in any way is a win.

CiDeRmAn

Oh, it's probably live on my GBA:SP ags101 for the longest time, that's how I see myself playing this magnificent game.
I never finished it the first time around, I picked it up on release for my GB when I was in college, such a good game but tough to know where to go next, especially in the pre-gamefaq era!

Good stuff with DX. But that Retron, no idea what you see in it especially when you have the original consoles hooked up to a proper CRT.

I'm not well
That much should be obvious, you know me so long.
If it helps I haven't played the Retron in a couple of weeks, instead playing Kirbys Adventure and DKC:TF on the Wii last night.

Definitely one game I'll be adding to the Wii-U collection at some stage even if I have no hope of finishing it.

Plus not owning the console gives you a solid justification for not playing most of the games! You can happily watch tv, go outside, spend time with the oh without thinking of all those unplayed games just gathering dust.

I have a lot of games gathering dust right now.
But they'll be dusted off soon for a Beers night.
Give some of them a work over, before crucifying the Retron5 in the front garden.

I sold it prematurely in rage when I was buying Mario Kart 8 now I won't it back to finish it:-(

The lesson I leArned was never sell a nintendo product again.
I should of learned that lesson in my teens when I sold off my snes games one by one to a bouncer who worked locally just so I could afford alcoholic beverages and cigs. Then I had to buy them all again in my late twenties cause they just don't leave your head.

Picked up Another Code R for £1 in Smyths. At that price figured why not

Andrew76

Another few goodies picked up. Won't have the time to play 101 anytime soon but wanted to get it in case it becomes scarce to pick up down the line. Not sure how Revolution compares to the arcade original but I had a €6 credit with CeX so used that up.

Over the last few days I have ordered the following:

Xenoblade Chronicles X
Zelda Wii U
Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush
Starfox Wii U
Yoshi's Wooly World

Want to get SM3DW and Captain Toad.

Tempted by Pikmin 3, DKC:TF and Bayonetta I and II.

Now I just need to still have my income, but with no family or work to distract me

Look everyone, Captain Moneypants!
But it is the spectre of a mortagage payment that stops me from buying rings around me

Bayonetta 1 and 2 pack in Argos for €38.99 should be tempting

Pikmin 3 finally acquired, two games left to go. \o/

Looking at some VC games now that I have the NC Stars to cash in. I've never played Metroid Fusion and I'm torn between getting the original GBA cart for my DS Lite or getting the WiiU VC version. Are there any notable pros or cons to each option?

Myrddin

I really have to get Pikmin 3 myself before it disappears into the Nintendether
