Topic: Your latest retro purchase

My Wii games purchase last time

BARBIE: GROOM AND GLAM PUPS

BARBIE: JETSET & STYLE

Glad I could get Barbie games on Wii. 😊

@WaveBoy While I love some PS2 games the console is really Uninspiring same with PS3. I do not know why but I love the PS4, well maybe it is the ease of use and the amazing library.

While I share your view on generic and really dumb box art of modern games, some series have killer box art even then.

But the credit there is for the artist. For example the cover art for most Castlevania games is amazing. Ayami Kojima is the reason those cover arts are amazing. If you compare SotN NA vs EU and you will see just how generic one of them is!

I think I will get some retro games like PS1 or NDS since long time I haven't add more PS1 / NDS during this year.

bought an old NES Game Genie for my Retro Duo Console

I like the using of real people as cover model for IMAGINE games by Ubisoft despite I already knew their games are mostly mediocre.

I still like to collect IMAGINE games as they have interesting idea of gameplay despite some of them looked really poor or too short.

Sorry, I don't see an option to add photos on my phone but these are this week's buys

Pokémon Coliseum
Pokémon Channel
Pokémon XD
Skies of Arcadia
Pokémon Puzzle Quest

Just trying to tick off the remaining Pokémon games and not get to distracted.

im going to the small comic book shop in the downtown area sometime this weekend and see if they still have some games still in stock like NES Star Wars, Batman, Abadox and one of the G.I. Joe games

that and if the new Creepshow comic book is still available at the comic book shop or not

@Anti-Matter UBI Soft is cheap so they pay for stock photos.
Well, maybe they pay.
There was one game where they used the sample image, leaving in the photo studio's watermark. So I can assume they just stole that one and hoped nobody noticed? Like Capcom's Okami Wii cover.

@KingMike
I mean I like the generic models photo on IMAGINE series games by Ubisoft despite I knew some of their games are mediocre.

I recently bought Diddy Kong Racing for the N64. I had it before but sold it as I needed some money at the time and I really regretted it so naturally I'm glad to have it back again.

Finally got Federation Force CIB for $58 (after tax and shipping). That's more than $12 cheaper for a CIB of that game.



His time will come after I'm done with Prime 3.

Any chat about the Analogue 3D on here?

I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and I'm in love with it. Getting home and playing a few races on Snowboard Kids followed by dipping my toe into myriad other games (Resident Evil 2, Mission:Impossible, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie - heck even Wheel of Fortune) is just a different life.

The N64 was always a great machine with so many drawbacks, mostly concerning framerate and general display quirks. But the Analogue 3D waves a magic wand and makes them all go away, opening a door to pure gameplay. It's transformative and transportative - it's the late 90s gaming we were promised.

So...anyone else?

@konicstar If only I could find a copy of Federation Force as easily as back in 2016-2019. I missed my chance to get it.

And I'm saying that without an ounce of irony, I legit want to play it.

@konicstar Wow, I didn't know Federation Force had increased in value so much.
It was very cheap in 2016, along with Code Name: Steam and Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash.
I bought the latter two, but I was never interested in FF.

Got another classic from my childhood for my Super Nintendo. An American Tail Fievel Goes West.

I do not know what happened, but old games feel fresher now, like even the movement feels smoother to me now.

I want to as well. Although, I might want to consider borrowing someone's New 3DS considering the usage of gyro in it.

It's was a controversial game in a dedicated fanbase and probably didn't sell that well, increasing the value for those who want it, especially before Prime 4. The others are still cheap, given that Code Name S.T.E.A.M. is a game people keep forgetting about, and no one wants to play Zip Lash.

And another classic from my childhood, Ratchet & Clank, for the PlayStation 2. This will be fun.
