The Megaman and Megaman X collections were like $10-$15 dollars each and overall I got a real mixed view of the series. Megaman 1-6 aren't that drastically different but half of those aren't really all that good. 7 was different from 1-6 but it wasn't as good as Megaman 8 which was the one I liked the best from the post NES games. The X series I felt got progressively worse as I kept beating each installment. That and the collections gave you Bonus games that weren't released in America, so around 25 bucks for experiencing a series that I am really on the fence on seemed perfectly fine.

This is why I'm collecting Mega Man games for NES, but Rock Man games for the SFC/SNES. They're only like $10ish each through Rakuten.

I thought it was  "I'm too GOOD to collect anything that isn't a Nintendo exclusive, and those don't count because a port collection once popped up on Sony's filth!". You kinda made it sound that way.If its just "those are expensive yo, but they're cool" then whatever dude, that's fine. But "I've played it before for cheaper" is no reason to not collect something!! This is  after all. (I can't afford it / don't care enough is a great excuse though)

Playing a game as a rerelease and liking it is an even bigger push to buy the original.

Oh Snap! Lets take a look at this...(Sorry about that postage, christ!)  A Cup? OK. Crack her open.  Ahahaha! I'm pretty sure this guy thought he'd get off easy by just sending a sweet Nintendo console out. NO SIR! Also, I was getting all smacked up on gin just last night. I like to deal with my console related problems with booze.  Underwear?!   Sweet rear end poster for my office.  Random Sega CD awesome.  The cup! I can't believe the condition of this thing!  Alright. Here goes....  Yes indeed, I needed this.  Awesome!  YES! This is one of my top 5 Sega-CD games and part of the Renovation subset I'm collecting!  Thanks babe!

If you ever end up in the US, it's yours.Glad you liked it though, especially since buying for a Sega fan is like trying to pick out gifts for my father.

Something brought a tear to my eye, saw quite a few Earthbound carts below 100 bucks today. Price Charts showing that they're starting to dip after the VC release. Hopefully the trend will continue and they'll be below 90 by August.

Harlock posted:These are all the completed auctions for cart only Ebay since it was released on the VC. The rerelease only lit the fire. I know some people cite a few PS2 games as an example of digital releases dropping prices but we're not talking about a 3-4 year gap between physical and digital, we're talking about a game that hasn't seen a release in 15 years and was never released in Europe at all. It's like a "lost" Nintendo classic for some people. Hey Nintendo, how about giving us Americans Devil World while you're at it? The blue devil was an assist in Smash Bros., hook us up!

absolutely anything posted:Cool now you can join me in being sad about a sequel tease that will never come true  You bastard!Alright, a few comments now that I've had a I totally called that Reynolds was Eriko's dad, and I didn't even notice the very obvious picture in the museum in my first game. That being said, I did not expect him to be some kind of freaky mutant monster thingamajig himself. Looking back, it makes Revenge of Queen Worm function as a bit of foreshadowing, where you have the happy familial person/monster relationship that's still going haywire since one of them wants to kill the other but only to bring them closer together. Jesus. And THE HELL IS WITH ALL THIS rear end? So... she's nude. Yeah yeah, in the final few scenes you can see that Eriko has nipple band-aids and a small scrap of underwear that is apparently held on purely by force of will, but my criteria for what nude is is whatever will get me arrested if I wear it to a little league game. Also, I could've done without the giant rear end exhibit forcibly pooping. It's a weird, weird game, there isn't anything out there like it and likely never will be. My only complaint is that the combat is really dated, but it's pretty easy to get out of and doesn't harshen the whole experience that much.

So I'm heading to my local retro store in a bit and I was curious. When last I was there, they had a Neo Geo CD system in there priced at $200. I didn't look that closely at the time, so I'm not sure I'd it was a top loader CD, or the CDZ, but I'm tempted to use some store credit I have towards it. Am I mistaken in thinking 200 would be way too much for a standard CD system, but a decent deal for the CDZ?

Unless you're a crazy Neo-Geo fan, you should probably avoid the CD-based systems in general. The game selection is kind of poor, and the loading times are pretty bad, even on the CDZ. The CDZ also apparently has issues with overheating that can cause damage to the console.

Unless something has changed, the gamecube style sticks have issues with resolution / reporting directions (tends to skip steps when moving from the center of the area outward). This is like the fifth time it has come around in this thread so if I could just direct you to click the ? next to my post, you can look at the videos and see the solution.

So I guess I dodged a bullet. They sold the Neo Geo CD. Almost picked up a Sega CD, but didn't since they didn't really have any games I was interested in. I find myself REALLY wanting to get some new stuff lately, and having absolutely no idea what to actually get. It makes for a frustrating trip to the game store.
