Topic: Your latest retro purchase

I went to a game convention this past April, and got the Wii version of "Super Mario All-Stars". In hindsight, I think I got duped...expecting the ports to be from the Advance series on the GBA.

@bezerker99 Has Metroid II gone up that people are reproing that now? I know Kid Dracula is a rare enough game and so is (the released) Resident Evil Gaiden, and the unreleased Resident Evil port was suppoedly good for what it was (at least of what was finished of the game before it was canceled).

@bezerker99
my mother said she was going to hold off on those until christmas but i see she gave them to you earlier...i wonder what else she gave you.......................

@KingMike To be honest, I don't have a clue the value or rarity of video games these days. Just not something I keep track of. My homeboys, @ogo79 and @the_shpydar (and probably everyone else in this thread) are far better experts than me.

Recently picked up Project Eden for PS2. It's one I never played but always had bit of an interest in.

hi nintendoage obsessed type weirdos
no i wont be releasing the rom because im a jerk and ill say it for you in advance}

Popped into Half-Price Books last week while returning home from family Christmas stuff. Spent $70 and got Warsong (cart only), Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue (cart), Croc 1 (Complete copy), and the guide for Dragon Warrior 7 (only $20!). Overall, a nice haul. They had Super Metroid there, but it was $80. Also "forgot" to buy River City Ransom for $30 there, but oh well.

looks like yer not the best at posting. heres all yer topics:
_{including locked ones}

you need a lot of help and free crap for some reason.

Perordered Holy Diver Collector's Set and R-Type Returns Collector's set from CastleMania.

@Ryno
yer never
ever.
and i mean never.
gonna beat holy diver.
ever.
.

Fact.
I tried playing Holy Diver and was kinda breezing through the beginning.
I thought "Oh, ok, it's hard, but do-able."
Then i died a billion times.
Eventually i will get back to trying again, after i have recovered from my PTSD.

@Ryno
i had to use game genie for the last 2 levels. i had every level before those mastered by repetition, trial and error and tears. and it took months...the game genie was responsible for me beating it. now that its out on the super retro cade you can utilize save states which is a good thing because thats the only way its gonna get beat. i have the repro cart that came out way before folks knew what this game was or what they were getting themselves into. now everyone wants to ride the tiger. and they will get their a**** handed to them for attempting to beat this game on a cart with no game genie. use the super retro cade to play this game so you can save yer progress.

@the_shpydar i tried to save @Ryno his sanity...

My sister went to GoodWill yesterday, and picked up Suikoden 3 for $2.
I hope she likes it, but if not, I'm more than willing to buy it from her...

My latest retro purchases were Dark Cloud 2 (or Dark Chronicle 2 for the UK folk), Phantasy Star Portable 2, and Baten Kaitos Origins. I almost screamed like a little kid when I saw Dark Cloud 2 because it's a game I've been wanting to play since I was in 3rd grade but never had the chance to. It's the first time I've seen that game in a used game store in years! The other two purchases were steals because I managed to nab them at a decent price, especially Phantasy Star Portable 2. (For context I got it around $40 complete in box while a loose umd on ebay will regularly go for around $65+ on ebay)

@MarcelRguez Tell me how Boktai is when you get around to playing it. I'm interested in getting the game for myself as well. In addition, it sucks that Europe never got Wario Ware Twisted. It's one of my favorite gba games and wario ware games in general. One word of advice. Dont try and unlock the last mini game in the collectible games section or whatever it's called. It's a very troll reward similar to getting all 900 korok seeds. I wished I would have listened to the game faq I was following to unlock it. It would have saved me a lot of time and frustration.

@MarcelRguez Thanks for replying! It sounds like a pretty glowing review overall. And I feel you on the joy of certain games and playing them on their original hardware. One game for me is Kirby Tilt n' tumble. You kind of have to play it on the original hardware due to the fact that the game is entirely gyroscope based. Playing that game on the gb sp is a nightmare due to the clamshell design of the system so I usually opt to play it on the gb color. I'm hoping to save some money and get a backlit modded original gba since I've always loved the form factor of the original gba.

I always feel bad when I hear about certain games that never made it to Europe especially gba games. Drill Dozer and Wario Ware Twisted are some of my favorite gba games of all time.

@MarcelRguez Yeah I was planning on using rechargeable batteries when I eventually pick up that modded GBA. I actually have a micro as well ( I love the micro but I hate how it can't play Gameboy/Gameboy Color games)
