Found a cheapie third party Wii U GC controller adapter,

Nice step-down voltage converter for hooking up some of my older US/JP consoles. In this neck of the woods we operate on 220/230 volts.

Got one of these Magic-NS controller adapters,

If you're going to use a compatible controller with it on a Nintendo Switch, with the Switch being out of its dock, you need that adaptor cable (as below),

Also picked up one of these SNES to NES/SNES Classic controller adapters,

With this adapter, if you wanted to you can now also use your old wired SNES sticks in a 'wireless' fashion (albeit tethered to a Wiimote) on the SNES Classic by syncing to an 8bitdo classic wireless receiver.

Warbucks · 11/08/2017, 11:35 AM

Everyone seems to be on an adapter kick lately.

xcrement5x · 11/08/2017, 12:30 PM

Wow, that is kind of a weird setup, I wouldn't call it wireless, but "less wires" ;)

But I guess if it works who cares!

EDIT: Just got a new thing!

The Summon Night 6 Wonderful Edtion for the Playstation Vita is here!

Released by Gaijinworks this LE is pretty amazing, and they definitely set the bar high with this one when it comes to production values.

Besides the game itself there is a double-sided poster, character plush, full CD soundtrack, coaster set with headshots, and a 200 page hardbound artbook! To keep it all together it comes in a heavy chipboard box with full color printing all over and magnets to keep it closed and with a helpful pull ribbon for opening.

It was a long time coming, but man was it worth it.

EvilEvoIX · 11/12/2017, 08:41 PM

Got a bunch of those SNES classics. Sold them to my friends for cost

I got a gray plushie with my PS4 one.

Gypsy · 11/13/2017, 01:27 PM

I got mine today. Pink plushie. The pin just makes me want WD pins.

TR0N · 11/14/2017, 04:25 AM

Yeah LRG got the PS4 version of skullgirls out finally.For the FOTNS bluray it's just SD and not HD but it's picture is still good.

Gypsy · 11/14/2017, 07:53 AM

The really nice thing about that Fist blu is the disc count compared to the dvd set.

Yeah it's only three discs plus fotns on bluray is cheaper then the dvds.

Medic_wheat · 11/15/2017, 08:44 AM

I find it odd when you can buy a Blu-ray compilation release for penny o. The dollar of a DVD older release.

The short but sweet Titanfall 2 campaign was really great. And still has a decent amount of people playing it online.

PukeSter · 11/18/2017, 12:32 AM

Will be buying this when it comes out. As an n64 fan, I'm extremely excited! The regular controller is okay but not perfect. This looks quite a bit comfier. Supposed to come out in December or January.

I bought Night Trap and TED V2 today.

Medic_wheat · 11/24/2017, 02:12 PM

Stranger things season one for $10. I could not say no to that

nectarsis · 11/24/2017, 04:30 PM

a nice hauly this year (COD is an early Christmas present for one of the kiddos) a few movies for the wifey

Mathius · 11/24/2017, 05:38 PM

Oh man it's a super haul! And a Stranger Things Christmas all around too. Such a great show. I just started watching it last week. Right up all our alley.

Flare65 · 11/25/2017, 04:53 PM

The Honest Movie Trailers recently did Stranger Things. Worth a watch...here is a link and they don't spoil anything about season 2.

Flare65 · 11/25/2017, 05:18 PM

Some pick ups.

Got Ar Nosurge Plus in a trade. Plan on playing this one when I'm stranded at the in-laws for three days at Christmas. Wife said I had to remain sober with her family this year.

Semisphere is a very different puzzle game from anything else I have played. Lots of thinking on this one, but very enjoyable.....the sound track is so relaxing it puts you to sleep. It did come with a soundtrack CD that I'm going to burn a copy of it for my alarm clock and use it as a white noise machine.

Curse of Castilla is a great Ghouls N' Ghost style game. Sound track sounds like it came straight off the Sega Genesis. Enjoying this one a lot. Highly recommended.

Axiom Verge. I thought long and hard about buying this on either the Switch or the Vita. I already had it digitally on the Vita from some sale Sony did a while back. I hated the touch controls the Vita version used on the corner of the screen for certain abilities. I settled on the Switch version instead for the larger screen and the extra buttons the controller.

I would recommend going in completely blind so that the little surprise touches they put in will have full effect. Don't even watch the opening credits before you actually dive in properly.

Digi.k · 11/27/2017, 08:40 AM

Got a new Amp.. now waiting on the speakers and cables... and best way to hook the retro stuff to it..

Gredler · 11/27/2017, 12:09 PM

Nice receiver!!!

I literally just hooked up a Onkyo 6xx model to my old school game center two weekends ago. I am using some old Sony satellite speakers and s-video, composite, and component for all of my systems that support them, and it actually improved the video quality of all of the connected systems. I also need to invest in a powered sub, but that and some better front speakers will have to wait until after the holidays. Enjoy and please update us with your speaker selection when they land!

Nice get on the Ar no Surge, I know it's quite hard to find now.

cr8zykuban0 · 11/28/2017, 09:53 PM

Sold off my xbone to get me a switch and also got some games to go along with it!
Tiny Barbarian dx
Super Bomberman R
Ittle dew 2+
Bonding of isaac
Splatoon 2 (got this for 35 bucks!)

Also got me a nice copy of cyber lip! very happy to have this!!!

Medic_wheat · 11/28/2017, 10:08 PM

For a moment I thought cyberlip was ported to the switch lol.

That would be something. Neo Geo games getting physical ports to the switch.

that would be awesome to see. Maybe at least the higher end neo geo titles or a sequal to snk arcade classic

NecroPhile · 11/29/2017, 09:50 AM

I snagged me a OLED Vita, Mod Nation Racers Roadtrip, FIFA Soccer, Uncharted Golden Abyss, and 4 and 8 gig memory cards.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/29/2017, 02:19 PM

I got a brand-new looking copy of Jumping Flash in a bigdickPSX box for 18$

it looks like whoever owned it never actually touched it.

The case has like no doofy nicks or dents.

Fuck N64.

I played the hell out of that game when it was new. Really need to track down a longbox copy as I haven't played it since.

Longboxes R Dumb.
that's why I don't have that game.
JF2 now, that's a good game.
Came in a standard jewel case and everything.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/30/2017, 12:20 PM

OG BigDick PS1 boxes are awesome what are you talking about.

They don't fit good, get in the way, and break easily.

Its the best.

You could buy the game loose as put it in a jewel case with fan art.

Mathius · 11/30/2017, 05:51 PM

I like ps1 style longboxes way better than the fragile Sega versions. Games like Doom that were re-released in standard jewel cases just didn't have the same cool factor.

The only reason the longbox doom MIGHT be better is because the disc has actual art on it.

but longboxes are dumb.
they were dumb for saturn, and they're even dumber for PSX cuz you can't really replace them

I find dragon half to be funny for an early dub.

Bloufo · 12/05/2017, 01:07 PM

Clone 2600 for $5 from a thrift store,

Also picked up a mini SNES, and one of those Retro Gen adapters,

A bit of trivia,

As I found out, SMS/Mark III games can work on a SNES. lol

Digi.k · 12/06/2017, 09:58 AM

finally got my speakers after a mix up from amazon where it said that they were delivered and I had to dispute it, after a week I got my money back and ordered from another place.

I've had Amazon dicking up my order recently too, or maybe it's the USPS. Either way when I pay for prime I expect the delivery windows to be correct, even if they take like 3 friggin days to ship the item.

I just had them 1 day a single Lupin movie (LOOOOL) because they waited to ship it. I ordered it Sunday and they didn't ship until yesterday. This is the kind of crap that causes them to lose money.

The wifey bought me an early Christmas gift this year. I finally got a snes mini! I'm super impressed with its build quality, especially the controllers. Great and surprising selection of games. My only complaints are the length of the controller cords though I'm sure someone out there will be making extensions for them soon.

they already exist man.

Also after hearing about them, and no one complaining too much about the lag, I think I am also going to grab a wireless to go with mine too.
