The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[jeffhlewis]

Wildfruit - it's the "Asia" release which I assume is Korea, Thailand, Singapore, et al. Chris threw it in with the Mega Drive as a freebie because he's cool like that. Go buy his stuff! http://www.windygaming.com/

Mati - the magic number is 600 pixels wide. I always try to process images before I upload 'em here because I hate the scrollies

[Opethian]

ah I remember a time when you didn't have to worry about pixel width on embedded images...

[InfraMan]

Tiny Blanka is teh cool! 

Yeah, one of those deals where you don't know which one you are going to get.  It was a $5 crap shoot.

Neat, I love those... tiny Vega is especially cool!

[HailingTheThings]

Its Japanese version

Not really, it's the Asian release.

Zhank you!

[PunkCryborg]

My wife got me this. It's the Japanese version, not sure if there's any differences. I haven't played this since I was a kid on my super game boy late at night with the lights off. This game freaked me out when the Metroids pop out of nowhere with their creepy music. Great game, can't wait to play it again!

Nice, it's a classic.

[MrFlutterPie]

Man I love Metriod 2.  I had 1 and 2 as a kid and I always preferred 2 for the Gameboy.

[DragonmasterDan]

Here's some recent pick-ups.

Mostly modern stuff but some older stuff in there as well.

[Mathius]

^^ GnG on the SMS. Nice! I've been looking for that one for a while.

D-Dan, what Famicom games are those?

[Opethian]

not sure on the left tho

[Mathius]

That's what I was thinking too. It looked real Dragon Quest-y

[TR0N]

To the left it's fire emblem.

[DragonmasterDan]

Correct, Dragon Quest 1 and Fire Emblem.

[ToyMachine78]

[JoshTurboTrollX]

NES loose carts:

Got a Jaguar, kind of need this one:


This was waiting for me in the mail when I returned home:


Sweet little thrift store find for $10 this past weekend.  GB works pretty well too!  (Missing the faceplate...   )

Played a little ways into it. Hasn't captured my attention much. I'm generally a fan of Level 5s other stuff though.

[xcrement5x]

Nice Tempest2k, josh!!!  Beyond shadowgate < T2K

I scored some PS2 goodies as well as the best OBEY artwork of all time ever from one of our very own forum members.  Thanks xcrement5x!!!

In my defense, this piece of artwork was specifically requested

tell you what... throw in a dime bag of your finest cheeba and your best drawing of Richard Simmons and I'll just PayPal you ... ok, forget the dime. ... I still want the Richards Simmons drawing though.

Richard Simmons. Trü storie.

[SmaMan]

Speaking of Bonk, after being a TG16/PCE gamer for a year, I finally got it!

I also got Gaiares for the Mega Drive, as seen on top of the TV. Cool thing is it's one of those carts that will play in English if you put it in a US console. (Thank you Game Genie.)

[xcrement5x]

Nice Bonk!

I grabbed some random stuff this week, no pictures though since I've been a bit busy:

5 GBA Manuals off CL: Zone of Enders, Zelda LttP, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, and Mario Advance 2

My local Toys R Us is having a spring clearance sale so I dug around and got:
5x Wii U Hori Screen Protectors
Wii U Cradle
PSP Vita Cradle
Wipeout 2048 [VITA]
3x Kinectimals bundle with a FAO Schwarz Bear
2x PS3 Sharp Shooter Accessory gun things for the Move

Two awesome games SmaMan! I wish I had the JP Gaiares instead of the US version with the stupid artwork

My copy of Nightmare Busters finally came today

[jeffhlewis]

My copy of Nightmare Busters finally came today

Finally got to play that at MGC this year...holy balls is that game hard. The art is badass though.

[xcrement5x]

My copy of Nightmare Busters finally came today

Nice!  Were you in the first 1200 batch of preorders or later?  I just emailed Brandon last week about them having my money for almost 6 months with nothing yet, when the confirmation email said "a couple months".

I was a pre-order, I was either late in the first batch or early in second... I can't really remember -.-

Hope you get it soon!

[Mathius]

^^ Like Jeff said. It's stupid hard. And quite beautiful as well. I wouldn't mind having a copy.

[SmaMan]

Yep, nothin' like naked chicks and spaceships to get you ready to shoot your probe into things. 

[xcrement5x]

Your wish is my command:
http://www.nightmarebusters.com/

Just be prepared to wait awhile for shipment, like I said it's been 6 months since I paid and I'm still waiting.  SuperFighterTeam has delays on the scale of Working Designs, but they have always seemed to get their product out the door.

[NessFreaK]

This has been a great week for pick-ups. My Neo XYZ and Gunlord came today

/neo.jpg

[xcrement5x]

Swung by the local game shop today and I traded one of my Kinectimals bundles for some store credit and picked up some stuff from their cheapos bin. 
I got:
4x SNES sports games which can be used for repros/translation hacks
Buster Douglas Boxing
Dark Sector

Plus at the media store I grabbed Wario Land 3 and Kirby Tilty Tumble

[MrFlutterPie]

I got my childhood game gear back from Kieth a little while ago recapped and working great! 

As a teen I tired to trade it in but because the caps were bad it had no audio so the store wouldn't take it.  It was because of this defeat that it was saved.  For some reason I hung on to it all these years.  I finally got off my butt and got it all fixed up.  I'm so happy to have saved a small piece of my childhood

[sirhcman]

Awesome! I still have mine as well.. needs new caps for audio and video unfortunately. Its a shame the game gear had such a shitty screen, basically the only thing holding it back from being a great portable system in my mind. It has a very good library of games of which are still affordable!

[MrFlutterPie]

Yeah the screen is very poor.  I find it better if you play in low light.  I used to stay up as a kid after my mom put me to bed playing my Game Gear because it had a back light so I could see in the dark.  I was so impressed with the back light as a kid lol.

[VestCunt]

I had a GG with Master Gear Converter for some years and sadly let it go because the screen sucks so bad. Recently picked up the At Games SMS/GG 30-in-1 and was presently surprised. Controls are flimsy, but if you're looking for portable SMS goodness with decent screen, it's well worth the $20-30 bucks.

Does that have a cartridge slot?

[VestCunt]

Unfortunately, no. But it has an AV output and the game selection isn't bad. Puzzles, shooters, Alex Kidd, Fantasy Zone, run and guns, and most of the Sonic games that didn't make it to the SMS. My only gripe is no Shinobi, no Outrun, and, obviously, no third-party games. The lack of a battery backup prevented them from adding any real RPGs, but Dragon Crystal and Hi-Tech World kind of fill the void.

The only void Hi-Tech World should be filling is a landfill.

[bob]

I have never seen or heard of either of these PS1 games, so for $5 each, I grabbed them.

Also picked up Lords of Thunder and Bravoman on the bays.

[InfraMan]

Blazing Dragons is short and easy, but it's a fun playthrough.

[TheClash603]

Blazing Dragons is short and easy, but it's a fun playthrough.

I will agree with that, you should give the game a play.  I have it on Saturn and I do remember some sound clips loading obnoxiously slow, otherwise it was quite enjoyable.

I think that game was voiced by some of the Monty Pythons.

Indeed it was. Well, one anyway...

[BlueBMW]

I enjoyed blazing dragons.  Definitely worth a playthrough.  Some of the humor is a little iffy but hey whatever

[Bernie]

Come across the DiscWorld games for PS1, grab em. 

[SuperDeadite]

Finally managed to get a complete copy of Cameltry.  Besides being an amazing port of the arcade game with some extra features, every copy included an unusual contraption which turns the mouse into an analog spinner.  Simple but works very well for this game, as well as other analog 2 axis games like Arkanoid 2 and Metal Orange EX.
