Awesome shooter!  I love the music in stage 2!

<--- stage 2 music w00t!  Especially right about 0:56 in that vid!  ZOMG!

Yes!  I've been holding out to find it under $35 shipped, which has been getting increasingly harder lately.
 

A nice condition Somer Assault shipped under $40 is my next mission.

oh, is that a very rarey in japan? will have keep an eye open on that then

loose carts are usually in the 10,000yen range.  cibbler is le 30,000 from the usual suspects.

This is a top 5 non-US release game for sure.  When the repro is put in a famicom via an adapter, does it output with the extra sound capabilities?

Don't quote me but I do not believe so. It's complicated. Maybe someone here can explain better than I.

I wouldn't know the one i bought is the standard edition.Timewalkgames offer also the full version also,but if you play it on a nes it must be modded for the music to work.

I can... sorta.

I assume you're talking about one of those in-cart bridge adapters that you can re-purpose into an all-purpose Famicom adaptor? I know that when you play games like Lagrange Point and Castlevania III through that adaptor, you won't hear any sounds from those chips. (you'll still get whatever the NES's internal chip is putting out, which isn't much)

Long story short, it won't work because the console's insides are different. While the Famicom's pinout has 2 pins for external audio, the NES's pinout does not. External sound cards were planned for the NES expansion port, and there are pins for that, but since they never made those... well there ya go.

I hear those repros are rumored to have workarounds for that issue, and I did see some further mods to adaptors that essentially create an auxiliary port for that sound. Pretty neat stuff, but tough to make from what I hear.

EDIT: Oh crap, I noticed you were talking about going the other way around, NES into Famicom... well it should be about the same story.

[Tatsujin]

I guess it just depends whether the booters used the same chipset as the original FC version did, or not. Did they also use the FC rom, or a rom from the unreleased oversea version? This might also be an important factor.

I believe they are using the PAL ROM.

I got the privileged to see one of if not my favorite musician this past Wednesday in LA. Bjork and the show was just amazing. I have never really seen anything quite like it. Truly she is an artist. I wish i could travel the world watching her preform.



On to the games. Have to say thanks to Bardoly and thanks to Bernie for the lot of these awesome games. Can't wait to start playing them (once i can step away from dark souls). I also picked up the Wii games and PSP game while i was in LA.

[Bernie]

Glad to see my games going to good folk here in the community.  It's a bitter-sweet feeling to see the pics tho.

I don't have a lot of Turbo Grafx stuff, but if you ever need anyone to set you up with some Genesis goodies, just say the word. I'll get you up and running, no charge.

Bernie, let us know when you are back on your feet.  I for one would be glad to help replenish your collection.  I only have a few dups, but I'd be willing to send you some one ups to get your collection back to where it should be.  I'll stop now before I start fucking crying.

Today I bought and downloaded Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Yeah, I'm normally all for physical packaging, but I decided to download since Animal Crossing is one of those games where it's good to check in on it once a day, so now I don't have to keep my 3DS card slot occupied all the time.

The Pang collection looks awesome. Tats why do you buy those pce cheapies like that, don't you have all those already? Also haven't seen any new sys card hauls from you in a while

What is that, some kind of Strip Majong?

In an completely, entirely unrelated note, I really need to learn how to play that...

[bob]

Why the hell was the SMS version of mahjong titled shanghai?

Any chance that game can be played without having to understand Japanese?

[Tatsujin]

Oh yeah, very much. It's like 99% action and 1% RPG (if even), but be aware that it is one of the uberhardest and unfair PCE games ever (even with the use of the unlimited continue cheat).

Well dang.


Oh well, I'm a bit of a masochist. I'll probably pick it up anyway. Thanks, Tats!

[Tatsujin]

Well, maybe "unfair" wasn't the right expression here, but it sure is hell of frustrating in later levels.

Finally got in my major recent purchase from overseas!


2013-06-09 MVS Bundle by xcrement5x, on Flickr

Bought from Yahoo Japan!  A 1 Slot MV-1F Neo Geo MVS unit with Unibios 2.3 already installed. 

Also came with the following games:
Power Spikes 2, KOF 99, World Heroes 2 JET, Art of Fighting, Some Mahjong game, and Magical Drop 3

I got a steal of a deal on this even after shipping from overseas, and plugged it into my cabinet over the weekend to mess around with.  Unfortunately my cab is stock jamma and I don't have switches for the 4th button, but that's not a major deal for now and I'll try to customize it a bit.


Also got my updated PS3 from chop5 but haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.  Infants take up like all the time and I was barely able to get this in my cabinet to play with.

[MrFlutterPie]

Small Kijij lot. 




Final fight Double Impact press kit.  As a huge Final Fight fan I was super stoked to be able to track this down.




Walked into Toys R Us yesterday and bought these.  Yes these are 23 years old TMNT vintage cards.  I am guessing they were found 23 years later hidden at the back of the warehouse and finally were sold.  Talk about such a retro throwback!  It really made my day

[Tatsujin]

Lol, that final fight barrel is uberawesome

[Mishran]

I remember collecting those Ninja Turtle cards as a kid. Was, still am, and will always be a turtle fan.

[Tatsujin]

Lol turtles. Always felt they were too much of retard to be funny or cool

[esteban]

Only 300 were made. 

I had a blast dusting off my old cassette player and listening to the games music in all of it's glorious mono lol.

The Poison hair spray says "It's a trap!' on the side of it lol.  Capcom has a great sense of homour still

[BlueBMW]

In non game related news, I dropped big money on a deal that finally came along (after two years of patient waiting...)  Spent more than my car on the stupid thing, but it is nice.

Nice Beemer!

Coryoon looks so awesome.  I'm a big fan of Air Zonk, and it looks very similar.

It is crazy similar... and its awesome.  I'm really sad that its expensive, I wish everyone could own it on the cheap.  Its too easy but its cute and fun.

[jeffhlewis]

Nice on the SC-88 - you gotta post a comparison between that and the SC-55!

Funny, snap on dealers use our software. I love their trucks. Very nice box btw, I know that one is a pretty penny.

[SMF]

I got in the mail the Animal Crossing 3DS XL yesterday also my hard copy of Animal Crossing. Me and my wife enjoy playing together. One of the few games she actually enjoys.

[liquitek]

Went to the Vancouver last weekend and picked up a few goodies.
$20 for Ghost Manor & $15 for Night Creatures from Game Deals in New Westminster.  They have some decent Turbobs in the shop, fewer now that those 2 are gone.
Down the street was the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo which was the reason I went to New West in the first place.  There was one table on which everything was $5 and that's where I picked up the PCE TV tuner, Cratermaze, Cosmic Fantasy 2 and World Heroes 2.  I couldn't believe it.  The GTAs and SSX were $5 also but from a different vendor.
