New Ninty Gets!

Most of its broadly cookie cutter from the Wii original but the golf game is brilliant, with the gamepad on the floor displaying the ball, you looking down the fairway on the TV and addressing the ball with a Wii mote ( hello ball!)

WeleaseWoderick · 18-07-2018 9:12am

I didn't pick any up but might be off interest to others.

Gamestop in Stephen's Green have Mario & Wind Waker character mugs reduced to €4.99 and also heat changing Mario & Zelda mugs for €6.99.

Picked up Phineas and Ferb: Quest for Cool Stuff for the Wii U. It would be a pretty non interesting, if slightly uncommon, get if it wasn't for the fact that this now completes the full Pal Wii U collection, not including variants. Couple of tricky ones in there to eventually get but been a fun and relatively inexpensive collection, if you can wait on very decent deals. The most expensive selling one is one you would never think as well.

There are some scheduled Wii U games to be released like Just Dance 2019 and Axiom Verge, which on last update wasn't cancelled yet, so will eventually pick up them too.

Bah. Boards reduces photo quality quite a bit.

Ya it's a fairly straight forward gallery shooter with nice enough 'paper' effect graphics. Can use the Gamepad to aim and shoot as well but became awkward after a while. It actually used to be the rarest, or one of, Wii U games but it's come down a lot in price. Big Ben Entertainment games are always made in small amounts, they always tend to be sought after collecting wise.

Banjo · 24-08-2018 7:55pm

Congrats on the collection, Corholio!

Went a bit mad the last week or so, getting south park, la noire, octopath and mario + Rabbids. But still only playing rocket league and battle chef brigade.

Gutted I don't have 25 GB free for Noire

and to think I defended that ****ty decision

CiDeRmAn · 01-09-2018 4:58pm

I just picked up a physical copy of the well recieved Super Chariot in Argos for €17.99.
I don't know why but these physical releases definitely have a strange hold over me!

_Godot_ · 05-09-2018 2:10am

I picked up Pokemon FireRed and Etrian Odyssey 3, two games of pure rpg joy.

CiDeRmAn · 05-09-2018 8:24am

Waiting for you to post here for ages _Godot_ ... thought you'd never get here....

McLoughlin · 07-09-2018 12:50pm

Flinthook and Mercenary Kings arrived today from Limited Run Games unfortunately had to pay custom charges looks like their "We prepay customs fees in many countries, tho" sadly doesn't cover Ireland.

RobbingBandit · 08-09-2018 8:26pm

New 3ds Xl Pokemon Sun and Moon edition unboxed in excellent condition for €125 from CeX my monster hunter silver new xl has seen better days so I thought about grabbing a back up, pity the firmware has been updated on both of them, I might have a go at the monster hunter one to see if I can do anything with it, would love to play Radiant Historia update but it's a very expensive game.

blockfighter · 11-09-2018 2:48pm

Just picked up NBA 2K19 on cartridge. Still has a whopping 28gb download patch with it. First time I've needed to delete software on my Switch.

CiDeRmAn · 14-09-2018 3:41pm

I picked up Dragon Quest VII for the 3DS in CEX, only €22.
And hope to collecting a physical copy of Dead Cells tomorrow, €25.
In non Nintendo gets almost bought a SFIV TE stick for a rock bottom price for my PS3, but I'm inundated with arcade sticks right now.
I'd rather build one for the NES/Famicom, one for the Atari machines in my life and more, so much to do!

As someone who is not inundated with sticks, what is this rock bottom price you speak of?

CiDeRmAn · 15-09-2018 3:48am

€38....
But it is PS3 only...
In CEX Balbriggan

CiDeRmAn · 15-09-2018 11:48am

Picked up Dead Cells, very nice game.
It feels like Castlevania but the bloody dungeon keeps changing every time I snuff it!

RobbingBandit · 15-09-2018 2:58pm

Dragon Quest VII was hard to play still have both VII and VIII to finish got my hands on Magical Starsign from CeX recently really nice jrpg very overlooked

As you keep collecting souls and blueprints, you unlock more permanent upgrades though, which start to stack up and help

I think I'm just sh1te at games.
It's taken a while to get to that realisation but I think I'm just going to have to accept it!

My Gamecube Anthology book arrived yesterday. Very well produced book and looks to be very comprehensive.

Got mine a few weeks ago too, still need to open it! Off today, might sit down with a cuppa and have a look through it. Have the PS1 and N64 Anthology books too, love them.

Have supported their SNES Anthology book too. Should get that next year.

Gamecube is the first console I purchased with my own money, in 6th class, and on launch day and remains my favourite console ever to this day; I became a Nintendo convert after!

Where would I buy such a book.... :rolleyes:

I got Hyrule Warriors on the WiiU yesterday, in CEX, for a tenner.
Not bad.

kevin2me · 06-11-2018 12:38am

Got 2x Famicom Minis and Super Famicom MINI as part of a double pack and special edition in Japan last weekend. Couple with a Neo Geo mini and bunch of Japan N64 games. Those artworks. yum

I take it the top photo is the store rather than your collection ...
Cause there's a few of your doubles I'd have a hankering for!

Hey Cidey

Unfortunately yes, that's Super Potato in Akihabara. I bought a Double Pack NES SNES jap mini there and Neo Geo Mini along with the n64 carts Some shop it was! Probably best spot in Akihabara. I blew 350e there and another 350e on arcade capcom Iao and some naomi carts. Yolo ðŸ˜„

CiDeRmAn · 17-11-2018 12:53pm

I got an arcade stick for the NES yesterday,
Very nice indeed

I'm going to change the cable over, as I do my 8-bit Ninty gaming on the Famicom Twin and Famicom mostly.
Or I might make an adaptor.
Either way it's pretty decent.

Might glue something heavy into the base though, make it a bit more substantial to use.
The components seem pretty good too, with the stick restrictor gate able to be changed from 8-way to 4-way depending on your tastes.

CiDeRmAn · 04-12-2018 3:33pm

Big ass haul of Famicom games incoming!
Calling to Carlow to collect them on Friday morning.
Can't wait!
Looks like a mixed bag of all sorts, and I have a couple already, ripe for re-gifting this Christmas!
I see a boxed Xevious there, for example, which I already own.
I'd hope there's Parodius in there, I already have it on the NES but the Famicom version would be great to own, to go alongside my Gradius/Gradius II/Salamander carts also for the Famicom.

CiDeRmAn · 05-12-2018 7:08pm

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom shipped on the 4th of this month, missed it because of the spam filter.
Hopefully have it by Christmas!

CiDeRmAn · 21-12-2018 10:03pm

Ikaruga is amazing on it, in Tate mode.
Donkey Kong is another one.

RobbingBandit · 21-12-2018 10:08pm

Ikaruga is your Citizen Kane

I really need it on the Dreamcast, to go along with the copy for the GameCube, not to mention the digital editions I have on the Switch, 360 and the XBone.

I play ikariga on a dreamcast with an lcd TV on its side:cool: I want this though, how many games does it work with?

Banjo · 22-12-2018 2:01pm

I bought ikaruga a while back on Switch, can't see what the fuss is all about I'm afraid. Same with Cave Story.

I play the Gamecube version like that, also the dodgy DC version, look amazing.

On the DC?
There are a good few vert shooters that can be used in that mode.
Watch out for the likes of Strikers 1943 and it's sequels, not to mention anything else from that sub-genre.
The PS2, GC and Saturn have a good few titles that will also work in that orientation, not to mention the 360, which is a great source of shmups, though you may need a VGA or similar AV adaptor to plug it into your display.

RobbingBandit · 24-12-2018 5:59pm

Merry Everyone hope you all got lots of ninty goodness waiting for you

Me got Ocarina of Time for my 3ds (again

) this time it's for keeps

CiDeRmAn · 13-01-2019 2:54pm

Birthday today so I now have NSMBUDx!
Nice port of the great WiiU game, I have resisted also buying Toad but I probably will, it's better suited to the Switch and the WiiU has ascended to the gamesroom so probably won't be played again for a long time.

CastorTroy · 13-01-2019 6:59pm

Happy Birthday!

Have both Mario and Luigi on the Wii U. Still need to play the Luigi one

Mr E · 13-01-2019 8:05pm

Happy Birthday, Cidey!

CiDeRmAn · 13-01-2019 10:11pm

Thanks lads, the big 47... Only 8 years to retirement!
Hurrah for being a nurse!

Star Lord · 14-01-2019 12:12am

Happy birthday, ciderdude! Hope it was a nice one!

CiDeRmAn · 14-01-2019 1:01am

It really was, trip to the National Gallery yesterday and family around today, cracking!
Oh, and a few new Switch games along the way!
Look forward to seeing you at a Beers in the coming months, hope you aren't too busy!

TitianGerm · 14-01-2019 9:52am

Has anyone gotten one of the Chain Chomp lamps in GameStop? Are they really plasticy? Just passed another exam so I'm thinking of picking it up for the games room because I deserve it :pac:

RobbingBandit · 14-01-2019 11:13am

Bought a cheap 2ds bundle on adverts over the weekend with a mind to repair my original 2ds from a few years back that has my ambassador profile on it. Paid peanuts for it so I can kill it if I want.

Belated happy birthday to CiDeRmAn.

WeleaseWoderick · 24-01-2019 3:00pm

This wonderful device arrived today

8Bitdo G Bros. Wireless Adapter for Nintendo Switch (Works with Wired GameCube & Classic Edition Controllers) (Nintendo Switch//) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JLF9PVG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RpCsCbMRBHDY1

Originally was looking at it for using a GameCube controller with Smash but I've gotten used to the Pro controller at this stage.

It does however support the NES and SNES classic controllers and works perfectly with the NES games on the Switch (and other 2D platformers). Hopefully those rumours about SNES games being added to Switch Online come true soon.

New Ninty Gets!
