@oldgamesonly I still have a ton of SNES and NES games I would like to get but someday I may want to get some Super Famicom games. Have you heard anything about modifying a North American SNES to play Super Famicom games
Sorry Rhino we are not allowed to talk about those thing on this site.
id use a retron3 as it plays super famicom games without the modding and the games are clear... i wont break my tabs on my mini snes or i can use a real super famicom but yeah that method works its also important to note if you are getting into imports you obviously need to know which games you can play to avoid the language barrier unless you can read Japanese.

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

Its weird they are just plastic tabs on the SNES but I would feel bad about cutting them so I may look into a retron to play Super Famicom games if I exhaust the library of SNES games I want to play. I took Japanese in high school so I can at least read the text, may not know what it means though! haha...
Hey Ryno what happened to your Radical Retro Realm of ??? Thread? It seems to have vanished off the face of the planet.
I straight up axed it. I don't know, I would like to have a daily discussion/ QoTD thread retro related but I dont think the retro forum on this site is to popular and it wouldn't be very lively.
I just picked up F-Zero X and F-Zero GX at Slackers. X was $10 and GX was only $8. I've played GX quite a bit in the past, but I've never played X. It should tide me over until Nintendo eventually releases a new F-Zero game.

I recently got this, it is my 3rd favorite game of all time and for $19.00 shipped I thought it is a must for my collection though unfortunatley I did not get the originally included poster with it.
Wow, awesome buy Ryno! Too bad about the poster. I'm sure there's some retro stores or maybe one or two sellers that sell it on it's own though. Only $19 is a steal still! You're just lucky I looked for ALTTP CIB a while ago and not recently.(Didn't end up winning it.)
@Ryno im sure you can find that poster on ebay lol thats where i got my River City Ransom map/poster

Thanks Retro_on_theGo! Yeah oldgamesonly, I found the map online for $17.00 shipped now but I think I will continue to wait and watch and see if I can get it for around $10 or so. How much did you pay for the River City Ransom poster/map? Good luck to you Retro in finding aLTTP CIB at a price you like. What annoys me is a game like this goes for such a high price and it certainly is not because it is rare.

Picked up a bunch of games while I was at the state fair:
Chew-Man-Fu - Tg-16 Dead Moon - Tg-16 Fantasy Zone - Tg - 16 Golden Axe - Sega Master System Shadowgate Classic - Gameboy Color Sprintmaster - Atari 2600 Tax Avoiders - Atari 2600
I just picked up an Aqua Blue Gameboy Color from the local GameTraders store. After 13 years, it was in better condition than I've ever seen. Next retro acquisition will be Pokemon Red or Blue.
A Virtual Boy with Mario's Tennis. However, I kinda failed in getting it. See, I ordered it off of eBay like five days before a month-long trip to Mexico. Of course it didn't get there in time, so I asked a friend who is looking after the house to pick it up when he saw it. I'll get it in 4 days, though, almost coming back to the States.
When all else fails, eat a taco.

I just bought an NES with Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, 2 controllers, 1 zapper, and hook ups! I'm so excited to play it!!!
Congrats Retro, you are now free to play any North American NES game you want and are no longer held back by the VC! Quite liberating isn't it? Capcom Disney classics, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade Game & Manhattan Project), Contra, overlooked and forgotten about gems are all available to you now. Looking forward to see what you get

Oh boy, a Virtual Boy! What a classic piece of Nintendo history that will go really well along with Nintendo's other failure the 3DS. I kid, I kid... settle down. I would actually get a 3DS if I was still a youngster and had enough video game time for it. But I don't muc to everyone's dismay. The Virtual Boy would be a great for my ever expanding gnarly Nintendo collection though
Pokemon Yellow. It was the first Gameboy game that I ever had as a child, and although I no longer have my copy I found my old Gameboy Color in (barely) working condition so I decided to buy Pokemon Yellow again.
I believe my last "retro" purchase was Solstice, for the NES. It's an alright game (I never was big on iso games), but I mostly got it so I could listen to the amazing title screen music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypNPxwnppU0 Yeah, it's that awesome.
