Sonic 3D Blast on Master System?

Jaysus...

Just called Sonic Blast in this case. It's a compeletely different game to the MD/Saturn versions. Still pretty interesting.

I know there's that many degenerates that frequent its pages and it would be a big ask of anybody. I don't know how they expect somebody to actually part with cash to promote their listing though. There are ads marked as sold only to be relisted, this seems to be common place and accepted practice surely stamping out this would help their revenue.

Mr.Saturn

If you by any chance spot a sealed copy of Tatsunoko vs Capcom (Wii) in HMV, who're known to just randomly plonk them out on display for €12.99 (well, the Grafton St. branch), especially after you've just dropped €20 buying it used (no bitterness), I would suggest nabbing it, as the license has lapsed, and it's now out of print. Given the amazement that ensued it making it West in the first place, I don't envision it being renewed for anything other than perhaps a digital download on the HD consoles, and even then, not for some time.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/120548-Capcom-Ceases-Printing-Tatsunoko-vs-Capcom

Due to a lapsed licensing deal, copies of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom could become very hard to find.

If you've been meaning to pick up a copy of the 2010 fighting game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars but just haven't gotten around to it, time is running out. Due to Capcom's licensing deal with Tansunoko lapsing, the publisher can no longer sell the Wii game in either physical or digital capacities. According to Capcom Senior Vice President Christian Svensson, it wouldn't resume publishing "unless Japan were to strike a new deal," though he didn't elaborate on whether that would ever be a possibility.

Though Amazon has already stopped selling Tatsunoko vs. Capcom in an official capacity, you may be able to find copies at your local retailers, and GameStop's website claims to have used copies in stock. Once stores sell through their new copies (if they even have any left), the market for the game will depend entirely on sellers of used copies.

When Marvel vs. Capcom 2 went out of print, the price of used copies of the Xbox, PS2, and Dreamcast version eventually rose far beyond its original retail price. So if you already have a copy of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, you might want to hold on to it, because it could be worth more than you paid for it someday.

Is it worth having though, and will it work on a PAL 2600?
I still remember it being demoed on a Late Late Toy Show back in the day, to show off a fancy, shmancy, Atari...

I wonder what'd happen if we bought up 10 copies each then tried to trade them in at the rage?

I'd love to see what price they end up trying to charge for them in store.

Anyone looking for a quick investment? This guy in China is selling stuff for cheap. Two stand out items, Neo Drift Out and Flip Shot complete MVS kits. Unused! Going for a fraction of what they should be. Only 53 euro!

Unfortunately the Drift Out ones are gone (thanks to the lads over on Neo-geo.com spotting it and pouncing on them all), but he still has 3 Flip Shots left. Just picked one up myself (And I already have the game!)

Just to give you a comparison of worth, one which sold for €150

I also nabbed a Shock Troopers 2nd Squad from him too. It's all pretty damn cheap and he has multiples

Do it!!!!

Then sell it in 2-3 months for 2-3 times the price

/Edit - only two Flip Shot kits left now

Jack burton

Ah I wont have money in my account till tomorrow, I'd say everything will be gone by then

o1s1n

He just listed 10 more Flip Shot kits :eek:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271139237754

I've emailed him to see if he has any more Neo Drift Outs. If he does I may buy a few.

Jack burton

OK I'll get one of those in the morning

But it says "rare" !! Must be real

Retr0gamer

Not that retro but will be of interest to people here. I must kep an eye on playasia's weekly sales because they have been amazing recently.

I think these are only up until tonight but you can get Pokemon Black and White 1& 2, Miles Edgeworth investigations and The three Etrian Odyssey games on playasia for very cheap.

I recommend you get all three etrian odyssey games, they are less than 20 euro and I played the first one and it was one of the best games I ever played. Top it off with the price gouging that these games usually suffer from (they usually sell for 80 euro) then these three are a steal.

Also some of these come with free shipping to boot.

Of course I don't get paid until tomorrow and I'm 5 euro short for Pokemon B&W 2

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia (Hardback) only £16.63 @ Amazon for pre-order. Released on 29th of Jan.

Just found this is 10 sterling off RRP and couldn't resist. I reckon it might interest a few around these parts.

Hello people,

I'm only 18 so obviously nowhere near the amount of knowledge as any of yee and yee might laugh at me for considering the playstation one retro but it (Along with the Nintendo 64) was my first console and after seeing some of the amazing collections in this forum it inspired me to start one of my one..

And I'd like to start with the Playstation 1, I'm just wondering what the general price of it is? I've looked around and its pretty varied so I'm not really sure.
Its hardly reached the point where it costs a good deal has it?

I'd also be looking for Spyro games, will these be hard to find? There's very few on Ebay so I guess I've answered my own question

Thanks in advance lads

Atavan-Halen

Don't worry, I consider the ps1 retro too as I'm only a couple of years older than you.

Ps1's aren't worth much, I'd pay at the very most €15 for a console with no games. Obviously a bit more if it was coming with games and extras but about that price for console only. Which spyro games are you looking for?

€15 is grand, cheers.

And Gateway to Glimmer is my favourite game of all time, I used to play that game religiously. Although I'd buy any of them for a reasonable price, I'm not sure what that is these days though. I might start the collection by getting all of them perhaps!

If only I knew back then that playstation one and two games would cost this much..

I wonder if the same will apply for Xbox 360 and Ps3 games in a decade or so, doubt it considering the sheer amount of people who own them, but perhaps in 20 years, food for thought anyway

Los Lobos

Hey man, I've got I'd say over 200 Ps1 games that I'm about to offload, just haven't had a chance to go through them all for pricing.

I'll shoot ya a pm when I get them up on adverts.

I wouldnt mind getting a pm either when you put that ad up

I have just picked up a nice little set of 4 led lights from Lidl, comes in the form of 4 flat pads with leds embedded in each, they stick onto the underside, or anywhere else, of your shelving and light it up nicely, only around 15 euro as well.
I think I'll buy another set too.
They also display lots of colours, so if you are in a Blue mood, just hit the switch!
Linky Dinky Doo!

Wow, will have to get on this tonight so!

I'm reluctant to move them on, but what with emulators taking over they all just sit there looking pretty. Plus I'm trying to build my cab and need cash pronto.

Okay this would be a grail GET! for me if I had 14 thousand dollars.
