Topic: Your latest retro purchase

Today I gound a copy of NES Remix Pack for Wii U. Only because I didn't have more money with me, otherwise I would've gotten Mario Party 10 as well.

I have the games digitally and also Ultimate NES Remix on the 3DS, but after realizing the whole "ownership" debacle that's been going on recently, I figured I could future-proof some of my digital games.
On the Wii U, I can only do that with these, Wii Sports Club (which I also have, even if the disc doesn't seem to contain the game and prompts an update), Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove ane DuckTales: Remastered. If they had released them physically like in Japan, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars would be a part of this group.

Starting off the first with some fine ps2 gems! I really love the artwork for Growlanser because it's done by the amazing Satoshi Urushihara! His beautiful artworks are God-tier to look it.

I got Transformers Animated NDS and Danball Senki 3DS this afternoon.

@NeonPizza Even though the years are there it's still hard for me to consider anything PS3 and on retro. I mean even looking at my son whose 25 no, was like 6 when it came out. He was lucky though where he had access to the NES, SNES and Genesis at that age, but for others who's intro to the world of Mario, Zelda etc was through the Wii they have feeling for the Wii like we do the NES.

Don't get me wrong, there are definitely some.classics on the Wii, Mario Galaky, Twilight Princess etc. but it's just not retro for me.

@Tasuki i'm 17
my childhood was mario world , mario 3 , kirby nightmare in dream land , and even the nes and it's tools like the hand gun to play the duck game
i think my father knew what's the best for us (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ)

Got Trace Memories for DS in the mail today. Just waiting for Panel De Pon DS a.k.a Planet Puzzle League to come in. Alongside a t-shirt I found for a good price. I realized that i'm obsessed with over-sized t-shirts. as in 4XL or 5XL.

I still think Panel De Pon DS sounds much better than Planet Puzzle League imo. I'll get Meteos at a later point.

Grabbed Simpsons Hit & Run on Gamecube. I have it on OG Xbox from back in the day and loved it. That one is most likely the superior console version, but this is one I've been meaning to add to my Gamecube collection.

Will give it a whirl later tonight.

My copy of Tail Concerto arrived today! I don't buy graded games because I hate how it drives up the price even more and makes harder for buyers to get them at an "affordable price," but surprisingly this was the best condition of the game I could find. And that includes used copies. Now to take off the wata case

@Tendo64 Such a great game especially if your a Simpsons fan. Definitely high on mine and others Remaster wishlists. Now if only Disney will listen. They can Remaster Epic Mickey but not Hit and Run lol.

@Arcwave May I ask, how much did you pay for it?

I cannot justify the cost of graded copies. When I saw a graded copy of a Zelda game (cannot remember which one) here in Mexico going for as much as 30,000 Mexican Pesos (somewhere around fifteen hundred dollars), I legit was like "who tf would pay that much for a scam?"

Regardless, I hope removing the wata case brings you some satisfaction.
Honest, for how much I can imagine you paid, I hope you enjoy it from the moment you remove the case.

@HammerGalladeBro I paid 600. I did bought a used one from a different seller before, but he lied about the condition of the disc. It was 500 for that one.

@Arcwave I wonder if there's a market for empty/used Wata cases? You could try selling it to recover some of the cash you paid. There's bound to be someone, somewhere that collects them.

It's honestly puzzling as to why they haven't remastered it. I've never met anyone who hated the game, and it would sell like hotcakes. Greatest Simpsons video game there is IMO.

@Tendo64 The only thing I can think of is the cost of the voice actors and then of course you have some of the changes to the voice actors like Apu. Then again didn't they get rid of Apu due to him being stereotyped? I thought I read somewhere that they did or they were going to so that maybe another problem.

Still.as you said and I agree, that game would print money so I don't know. But then again it's all up to Disney.

Power Stone 1 for the Dreamcast. I played a few rounds, many years ago and enjoyed it.

Been awhile since my last post. Busy working through peak season. Got Threads of Fate (ps1), Gunstar Super Heroes sealed (GBA), and a cib of Sword of Mana (GBA)

@NeonPizza
CIB. It plays well and it looks great on a CRT tv. Yeah the Dreamcast truly was ahead of its time. I would almost say, gaming started to get boring after the Dreamcast ended.

@NeonPizza
When the Dreamcast was still around, games were still wild and had an arcady feel. Afterwards they started to feel realistic and too serious for its own good.

Now that you mention it, the DS/ Wii era really was something else. My first DS game was Zelda The Phantom Hourglass. I liked how good the touch controls were implemented. I am also a fan of the Wii pointer controls. Hopefully this was not the last truly special gaming era.

I hope the Switch successor has a nice surprise for us.

@NeonPizza
I love the older 3D Zeldas. It would be cool, if your predictions about VR come true.

@NeonPizza
Minority or not, it does not matter to me, you gave your reasons why you feel the way you feel and I appreciate that. A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening are my favourite classic Zelda experiences. I love the movement and relaxing completionism in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but I do not really feel like this is the right direction. It simply lacks the old Zelda soul. As much as I loved Tears of the Kingdom, I feel like I am not the target audience anymore.

I need to give Zelda II a try.
