Your post is the first time I've heard of the Everdrive and after a quick youtubing, I now want one! Can I ask where you got it and for how much?

I got it from my brother, he bought it but realised he wasn't as into N64 as he thought.
I gave him a PAL N64 and a collection of classic titles in its stead.
The everdrive is set to NTSC and so I can now run the full games library on my N64, via RGB so it's all faster and looks crispy clear.
There's stuff you can't get here, like Mario 64 and Waverace 64 rumble editions, fantastic.
Good thing about the N64 is get the American or Jap version, quick snip and all carts fit in.
A EU power supply will power it too, to save shipping weight.

I have the old Everdrive MD version, very handy devices.

I've got three, one for the N64, one for the MD and one for my TG-16/Express.
They are pure brilliant and class leading in the world.
Great prices too, but follow the first shop link from Krikzz page, it's essentially where he sells them, everyone else is a reseller and loads on their own percentage.
Also, though they are being shipped from Ukraine it's pretty quick.
krikzz also updates the devices as required until perfect so buy with confidence.

For those with an Everdrive 64, is it really that annoying to have to reset the console to save before turning it off? Apart from that, and the price, it seems a good piece of kit!

CiDeRmAn · 17-06-2014 2:56pm

Coupled with an NTSC console and an RGB modded one at that, it really is the only way to get the best out of an N64.

The_B_Man · 17-06-2014 5:02pm

Ye I agree, but having to reset to save games seems weird though.

Mr.Saturn · 17-06-2014 7:22pm

Little King's Story on the Wii. Cool little ditty that meshes enough genres together that no aspect ever gets too dull or laboured. AI's a bit off, backtracking can start to grate on occasion, but it has been a rewarding experience thus far, with a cushy difficulty curve too. It does get points, however, for having an NPC crack the forth-wall to apologise to the player for the fetch/collect'em elements.

Inazuma Eleven on the DS. Loving it, wholly. Whatever crackpot decided FIFA needed to be more likely later Final Fantasy/baseball manga deserves all the sweets.

RobbingBandit · 17-06-2014 8:12pm

Starting Bravely Default after the football tonight, haven't looked forward so much to playing a game since Final Fantasy IX, also have Tales of the Abyss but some fcuker spoiled the twist in that on me a while back. Man I love me some good RPGs.

How long have you had that game and your only just starting it

The original has been rereleased on 3ds eShop and is currently on sale for €9. Has to be better than this Russia v South Korea game

Physical copy's going for the same in Argos. Which is neat for a game that was uncertain to get a PAL release 3 year ago. Club Nintendo points check out too.

As too is DQMJ (dunno if it's one or two, given the thumbnail list 2, yet the descrip says it's 1). I've only gotten as far as the original Dragon Warrior/Quest Monsters relatively recent-ish, so I think I'm a decade-ish off speaking for its quality:

Banjo · 18-06-2014 12:49pm

the eShop version has 3D map on the top screen

It's technically a 3DS game rather than a DS though I don't think they did a lot to pretty it up. You can use the Home button without killing the game - bonus!

DQMJ was a great game, played a lot of it when my first daughter was born while waiting for bottles to cool and whatnot. Not sure it holds up that well these days though. If you like grinding, it's excellent.

Be warned, last time those games got flagged in Argos, they were in a 2 for €20-something deal, but less than a tenner each. Don't buy them both at the same time just in case

This is my third copy(damn CeX keeps getting it in) have sold the other two while doing college have a two week break now before my prep for my repeats starts so I am cramming all my gaming into that time. Doing college with Aspergers and Anxiety with the bonus of being semihomeless sucked big time, I hope Karma is real as I am due a **** load.

DARK-KNIGHT · 19-06-2014 1:54am

mk8 GOTY 2014

CiDeRmAn · 19-06-2014 7:38am

It's pretty much a game of pure awesomeness alright.
Only dark cloud is the lack of multiplayer arena stages, if it had those it would have been well nigh perfect, and a shoo-in for future top ten lists of all time.

cloud493 · 27-06-2014 10:14pm

Magical starsign - I don't like it. Its way too slow, the controls are way too much of a pain.

CiDeRmAn · 28-06-2014 1:01am

I'm currently trying to make some head way into Infinite Space, a pretty vast though under explained space warfare game on the DS.
It's pretty hard to come by, online it runs at a fair few bob, though I found mine, for a fiver, in Gamestop.

Captain Hman · 28-06-2014 1:05am

Playing ocarina of time on my 3ds and Mario kart and deus ex on my Wii u atm

AlanS181824 · 28-06-2014 2:35am

Got a demo of Tomodachi Life for the 3DS and just finished that. Really fun game, totally bizarre but I like how they localised it for Ireland. Added Irish € layout (€0.00 vs 0.00€) and European date/spelling.

Little things like that show me they put a lot of effort into the game!

Currently downloading the Chibi Robo demo!

I am looking forward to Tomodachi Life, though I'm not sure it's worth full price tbh.
I have Chibi Robo on the Gamecube and DS and haven't really played them, not sure this new one would get much more play, but I might just need to apply myself!

nix · 28-06-2014 11:57am

Playing Deus ex Human revolution at the moment, i started off on normal mode but when i got to the first boss i just had to switch to easy mode (i never do this) but i just cant aim for **** on consoles with fps games, analogue is just so slow and inaccurate for me, i need a keyboard and a mouse

The game was also very hard on normal mode, normal sentries one-two shotting you and recoil goes to **** after first shot, heh did anybody play this on normal mode on WiiU? :pac:

Banjo · 29-06-2014 1:17pm

I played on 'give me Deus Ex'. The load times were killing me but it forces you to learn to use cover and distraction efficiently. Or, in my case, die trying. Ultimately gave up on the first hub - the city- because I kept not making jumps and dying after falling 1 storey. Sure I can survive that in real life and I don't have robolegs

Having said that, I avoided firefights and went almost exclusively for takedowns. Recoil wasn't an issue

cloud493 · 29-06-2014 4:27pm

Theatrhythm final fantasy. Hated the demo so I didn't know if I was gonna like this, but I do its great

Wiped my Pokemon X save after exporting all my Pokemon to Pokebank, I have started again now and am just about to win my first gym badge, also started Dragon Quest IX as I am stuck on the Hell Spider in Radiant Historia and need a break from it.

nix · 03-08-2014 2:25am

Recently finished Splinter cell black list (way too short and eww to new Fisher voice) and black flag (enjoyed it alot more than i thought i would) and SMB3DW which was a delight, short but very sweet, still have to get through the bonus levels.

And i got stuck back into Xenoblade Chronicles now, i got my head around the combat now (i think) and am enjoying it alot more, im only 6.5 hours in, the story/drama really went into overdrive after the first dungeon and its griped me alot more now, ill enjoy this one i think, glad as i love rpgs like this and havent enjoyed one since FFX, so its a treat!

Star Lord · 04-08-2014 1:09am

Loving monster hunter so far, just took down the first Great Jaggi. Enjoying it much more than expected!

cloud493 · 04-08-2014 1:16pm

I'm enjoying mario tennis much more than I expected to. Its got that 'one more go' factor working for it.

Well I finally picked up Monster Hunter U and Mario Kart 8 today, both are damn addictive so far, got my hands on The Last Story for a tenner as well.

Where did you get The Last Story for a tenner? If I may ask.

Gamestop, it was used with no original box or manual, I have never seen it for under €35 before, hopefully I will get as much enjoyment out of it as I did with Xenoblade.

TPD · 05-08-2014 6:36pm

My 3ds has been making me finish games again! Most recent were OOT3D and Kirby triple deluxe. Before that, MK7, M3DL, Star Fox 3D, and Zelda ALBW.
On the lookout for Fire Emblem and a Pokemon game now, to really sink some time into..

I have had it since I got my WiiU a few months ago but have yet to touch it. Any advice before jumping in? Think one of my friends will be playing it through with me online. Can you link up literally from the beginning?

Star Lord · 06-08-2014 11:39am

Once you've got the first quest or two out of the way, and can make your way to Port Tanzia and go multi-player.

richymcdermott · 06-08-2014 12:09pm

Donkey Kong tropical freeze is so amazing so far , Often putting down the controller just to hear the music , its soo good

cloud493 · 08-08-2014 5:14pm

Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels - **** me this is hard. They weren't kidding.

RobbingBandit · 10-08-2014 3:25am

Pokemon TCG, insomnia and OCD is a dangerous mix.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 12-08-2014 11:13pm

Pokémon Y. My first Pokémon game since Pokémon Blue (or Yellow, can't remember) and I am absolutely loving it. On Route 13 now.

maddymcmaddser · 13-08-2014 3:58pm

Currently playing through Okami on the Wii, it's a great Zelda game, the waggle controls take a bit to get used to though. I really like the humour in it as well.

Have the prequel/sequel Okamiden; picked it up last Christmas and have been meaning to give it a go, looks awesome.

Star Lord · 13-08-2014 9:50pm

My monster hunter compulsions are reaching the level where I'm considering buying the 3DS version too, to have the game mobile too...

What are you playing, Nintendo edition.
