I'm not too pushed about third party releases. Nintendo machines for me have always been about the games you can't get on any other system. With the selection of games released so far, those announced at E3 and some inevitable titles not yet mentioned (I'm thinking maybe F-Zero, Metroid) - the Wii-U will have easily been a worthwhile purchase. For everything else there's PC or PlayStation.
Poor Xbox One

Today's get isn't retro, nor an interactive game but a quirky DVD-game all the way from Amazon Japan!
Have to say a huge tanks to Sera for introducing me to this wonder!

Is the right DVD cover pixelated over a character in the game?

Haha yeah! I think it might be the Gorilla in the video above to keep it a surprise for people?
Or else its just a character made up of pixels, wouldn't surprise me in Japan!
Doubt its anything to do with those other videos the Japanese are known to pixelate!
Its basically like a betting game, they show each horse at the start walking around with its number on screen.
You just choose the horse you think that will win and watch the race.
Its all pre-recorded.0 -

Thanks to Cidey I picked up Steel Battalion for Xbox, already have the huge controller
And I have none
Congrats on the purchase though, hope you have lots of big robot stompy fun.
Don't forget to eject though!
Otherwise your save gets wiped.
Also, it has a mod detection function, so the game will only work on an unmodified Xbox or one with a modchip that can be switched off.0 -

Nabbed this in Argos there. I already have it in the big box collectors edition, but that's still sealed (I don't collect sealed games normally but if it's lasted this long, & I can leave it sealed for €12, so be it!
) so this can be my disc copy. I think I reserved the last Solatorobo in Dublin this morning, won't get to it until tomorrow though.

I picked up a bubble bobble bootleg for €50 inc delivery, adapter the other week, I was a little disappointed with the surface rust on it, and it was only booting, game wouldn't start. After a good scrub with isopropanol and 5 new roms, 3 of which I used redux I now have a 100% working Bubble bobble again

Today's gets. Waveform's contribution is on the top right in the form of a gameboy game.
Picked this all up for a surprisingly well haggled price from the rage.
There was a new guy in there that really seemed to know his stuff. Didn't catch his name but a pleasure to talk to.

Today's get from Argos in Dun Laoghaire:
Thanks for the heads up on this lads!
I remember looking at Bluetooth keyboards 3 or 4 years ago and the cheapest at the time was €70.
The other 2.4ghz wireless keyboards with the dongle were cheaper but not this cheap!
I bought an a4tech one about the same size and the range of the thing was so crap it didn't work half the time, even after I soldered a WiFi antennea inside it.
Going to mainly use it with my iPad, its an absolute bargain.0 -

Picked up this pair in Xtravision, tenner each. No idea if Darksiders 2 is any good, only played the original which I know plays slightly differently (more puzzle-orientated I think?). Heard Zombiu is fairly decent so worth a punt for the prices I figured. Actually, one good thing about the relative unpopularity of the Wii-U to date - pre-owned discs are in superb condition! :pac:

Just picked me up a copy of Skyward Sword and Kirby Epic Yarn in Argos.
€12.50 each is a great price imo.
Its worth noting that Skyward Sword is not the one they show in the picture in the catalogue http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2049526.htm
Its just the regular version. Part of me is happy as I'm definately opening it to play it. If it had been the special edition I'd have had to buy two. One to play and one to leave in its wrapper so to speak.
They both join the ever growing back catalogue. I sometimes wonder why I bother buying new/old games at all. I need to clone myself to have the time to play half of them! 0 -

good pull this weekend
.
My mother visited us from france and brought my old Amiga, tons of floppies and my Master System games ... (MSX2 the master system are still there and coming next time)
Then we stopped by chance at a car boot sale and scored two PS1 with games (nothing good) and controlers and a PS2 with GTA san andreas, need for speed underground and state of Emergency all working, for €30.
nice!0 -

I was wondering. We slag you about your taste in games sometimes but I didn't think it had fallen that low. State of emergency is Rise of the Robots levels of bad. I heard tales of shops buying hundreds of copies since it was released after GTA 3 on the Rockstar label. They were really caught out when it was a total dud and failed to sell anything.
