  1. This is now on sale on amazon.ca for $190 Canadian which is about $144 usd
  2. I don’t have this one, i’ve Got the sfc themed one. to be honest i’m Eyeing n2ds xl now due to their themes.
  3. If you liked past Metroid games then yes. It’s been great up to this point
  4. Metroid Samus returns (3ds) WTF is up with the chase sequence, wtf games don’t need these and it’s really pissing me off
  5. I wonder if any part of this code exist in the original animal forest version of the game for n64 as it had nes games like its GameCube updated port.
  6. I don't pissed too much. I'm glad people can enjoy games. If anything I more get pissed off when I talk about wanting to buy something then put it off for 2+ years to later find it far more expensive then it should. =/ I do find it funny that 1 youtuber covered a local retro shop in toronto but the thing is, that place their prices were already too high in the first place so deals there are rare or usually a fluke. Yet to give that shop credit, the reason I still go from time to time is because they clean and take care of their stuff before putting them up for sale (inc recaps on things like Gamegear). =P
  7. Over all I think the DS wins due to it's catalog and what it brought to the table. On a more personal level it would be GBA & PSP as I more enjoyed both platforms along with how they both tied into different stages of my career (My hobbyiest work on GBA lead to my first commercial game and job, my hobbyist work on PSP lead to my job at Ubi).
  8. Shinobi, Nice.. If you want to go the fun DYI route you can make one pretty easily. The main parts are a Jamma Harness, a PSU (can use an old PC PSU or old device PSU that can supply the needed +5v & +12v) , a 15khz to 31khz converter pcb and a controller (Neo Geo, or 3 button Genesis works as each button is it's own pin and does not require a transcoder. Or you can go the lazy route and buy one of these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supergun-ProGamer-RetroelectroniK-Arcade-Jamma-autofire-voltmeter-included/152257119363?epid=1987156252&hash=item23733b4483:g:SbIAAOSwOyJX6pvu I built my own JVS/Jamma 2 rig and I use one of these for 15khz to VGA conversion. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GBS-8200-CGA-15kHz-EGA-25kHz-Arcade-JAMMA-PCB-to-VGA-Video-Converter/311778818850?hash=item4897773b22:g:qWAAAOSwXOVaZTTs -edit- The atomiswave isn't a bad system to get started with but the game selection is pretty limited. Do be careful, Bootlegs are a problem with Atomiswave. So make sure to do your research before buying any carts.
  9. This is a hard choice and even though the snes was technically the first console I personally got as a gift and not just a system that was bought for a sibling or the family, I think I have to go with the genesis actually. I just have so many fond memories of many of the titles and even the fact I won a copy of Sonic 3 via a McDonalds mail-in contest. Man Castle of Illusion, MJ, Sonic games, Toe Jam & Earl, Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, Mutant League, Desert Strike, etc..... Just so many games I use to put so many hours into. The fact you picked CD over AES
  10. I've been putting some time this week into Neo Geo (mostly on Neo CD side). I finally played Real Bout FF (first one) for the first time. I find some of the hit/blood particles funny because on my TV it kind of looks like party confetti yet on Real Bout Special it's more like gloppy blobs. I also have to say that now after I've played more Fatal Fury games, I think Real Bout Special is my favorite in the series. It has the polish of Real Bout with a faster battle speed. I also find it interesting giving Fatal Fury a shot so much later. Sure I played Garou back when it hit but for the most part I mostly only played Sam Sho, Last Blade & Kof series back in the day (in arcades and on collections/ports). The only other Neo Geo Fighter I haven't given much of a play on is the Art of Fighting series (just finally picked up my first game).
  11. Here is the rest of the collection and what probably will remain 75-80% of my collection (want to hunt down a few more cheap gets (Sub $50 before shipping) then maybe 1 $100 title). The games are all in good shape with their manuals with exception to Fatal Fury Special which is missing its manual and is a bit scuffed. I regret not waiting out on this one a little longer as I later found complete in better shape for what I pad. Yet again all of these titles were like 2,000-3,500 Yen with the exception of Fighters History being 5,000 Yen (not bad since 2k-4k yen cheaper then what they normally list for). On other news, the Neo Geo it self works like a charm with no problems. Quite happy for how cheap I got it.
  12. Mostly what legend said with the added action of killing all boomers first, then doing the rest. A few exceptions will be made (can’t go off killing Picard)
  13. I doubt it. At most we're looking at a minority government. The CPC has mostly just been running on a platform of criticizing Justin regardless of what he does (Sans trade war). I think once more of his long play policies kick in he will rebound with some of the support he lost to NDP who have been doing horribly even with the new leader. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poll-tracker-federal-poll-averages-and-seat-projections-1.4171977
  14. well when it starts to rain Neo Geo games, It pours!!!! My two NG shipments showed up today at the same time. I sadly don't have time to get into my big box of goodies (expect photos in a few days) but I did at least open my first smaller package when getting home. So while not technically the first NG game I bought (That was Sam Sho 1), it's the first one in my hands (Damn the carts are big). Expect 6 more games soon...
  15. Come join us then.. Retro does not mean it only has to be about old console games. I spent a ton of time growing up playing PC games (I kind of feel I'm due for another Build Engine retro play through soon).
  16. You only understand games that we let you run your simulation on. So get back to work you CS Go bot!
  17. I spot a flaw in this collection, where's the arcade board (don't take that jab seriously, that is one amazing collection). There was 1 psp game as well (***k konami for no localization, can't find much on a completed fan patch atm) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genso_Suikoden:_Tsumugareshi_Hyakunen_no_Toki
  18. Metroid Metroid Metroid (3ds) sometimes I feel like I missed a powerup I should have already but missed. It did happen onetime where I was missing the spring ball for a sizable amount of time. -.-
  19. Ooo photos later but surprise package today. Surprise in mostly that today everything is closed due to holiday landing on Sunday (July 1st for Canada day) So I did not expect any packages today. I got 5 neo cd games in but 3 are dups to what I have (the set was 980y before shipping and proxy fees). The non dups I keep are kof 94 and real bout ff. The dups are fatal fury 3, Sam sho 2 & 3. I’ll probably offload the dups to a local retro store. My neo cd collection is starting to get big, I’m at 17 games so far yet there is still so much I don’t have.
  20. Yeah don’t collapse retro, I feel it has less to do with general game chat. We end up talking more about pickups and what we have then the games it self.
  21. So here is my retro setup. I more try to keep my collection clean and out of sight. I tend to play HD stuff in the bedroom where the HD tv is. I tend to keep the systems i'm not playing stored away in their box to keep them from getting dusty/faded (I caught my jpn n64 starting to yellow last time I left it out). Also since I try to keep my games grouped in plastic bins, I tend to take what i'm not touching down to my locker (so much of my ps3/ps2/psp/ds/xbox/saturn collection is kept there). I'll post photos of the rest later if there is interest. =P
  22. That is way too expensive for what it's worth. You're best buying up an old cocktail cab on ebay and restoring it. It would be far more rewarding and a hell of a lot cheaper. Jpn Candy cabs are the best... My wife keeps pestering me to sell mine since it sits in storage unused. It sits there because I need to work on it and don't have the time atm.
  23. All the talk of Sega Mickey games recently made me decide to play my Castle/Land of Illusion games. I never really played these two back to back before but Land is a lot more polished then I remembered. I also played Moon Walker and bunch of other MS games afterwards.
  24. I kind of suck at mini series collections. I always want to do it but end up not following through 2/3 of the way through. =/
