Also, send me that PAC.

I got lucky on getting the LA locally, the rest of the stuff was a bit of a splurge but I got it all for pretty affordable prices from a Japanese website :D Wasn't even expecting the pac to be boxed

Nope! It's an decent game but kind of mediocre for Konami. Japanese version is Trigon. It has some cool scaling effects though and borrows some sounds and stuff from other Konami shooters from the same era.

With that name, shouldn't you should be piloting a P-38?

One day (and that day is likely still far off) I will own cabinets as well.

Although if I ever come across a three-player Double Dragon III cabinet, I will go to the ends of the earth to get it!

Can you swap that Lighning Fighters over to a proper Trigon?  Trigon's appeal is the Trigon weapon pod, which was totally removed from the USA version, making it a rather generic go up and shoot game.

From what Ive read ts just a rom swap to switch to Trigon which I'll probably do. I like shooters with checkpoints especially for playing at home

I actually mainly got it for the new Smash Bros and Hyrule Warriors. Though Mario 3D is on the maybe list.

TheClash603

Did you get Smash 3DS yet?  I am going to pick it up today and I am pretty pumped to give it a try.  The demo had a lot of promise.

BlueBMW

Take Mario 3d off the maybe list and put it on the MUST HAVE list ;)

Honestly its the first new game I've played in a long time that was so fun it made me laugh and giggle like a little kid again.

I haven't had the chance to play Super Mario World 3D but everyone I know who has are saying it's the best Mario game in easily 20 years.

Must play.....
