Got myself a blue 3ds xl with firmware 4.5 on it

. Not going to say anything more about that as I think I would get a ban for it lol

Only 140 In a pawn shop in Waterford delighted with it the body is not the best but I will probably replace that down the line.

Have to sell my white 3ds xl with Mario kart on the sd card now lol. Was thinking 150 ? Are they worth that ?

readyletsgo · 24-07-2014 11:58am

I wanna see photos of all your ninty goodness guys!

ShadowHearth · 25-07-2014 1:08am

Got myself Resident evil revalations for wii u. I already own it on 3ds, but what's the fun of owning it only one nintendo system lol.

WhiskeyGoblin · 25-07-2014 9:52am

My latest venture on the 3DS :cool:

Hey Cloud did you get Pokemon in Argos too?

cloud493 · 25-07-2014 10:10am

I did indeed. Not bad price.

WhiskeyGoblin · 25-07-2014 11:18am

I'll have to pick one of them up, great price

RobbingBandit · 25-07-2014 8:07pm

How much did you pay for sonic and did you get an xl yet?

richymcdermott · 27-07-2014 4:23pm

I could not find wonderful 101 in town so I picked up Donkey Kong Tropical freeze, Loved country returns on the wii so I cannot wait to jump on this

RobbingBandit · 27-07-2014 4:52pm

Finally picked up a Pokemon Typing Adventure to see if this Bluetooth Keyboard is all it's cracked up to be, also grabbed Dragon Quest 9 for a fiver in Argos too. Now to find a Steel Diver and I'll be set for a while.

cloud493 · 27-07-2014 6:16pm

Cant recommend steel diver, thought it was rubbish.

Steel Diver started out as a tech demo given out free at a trade show on the DS, then the game rom escaped and remains playable via dodgy flash card.
The 3DS game is not that bad, probably needs to be loved little bit more, it has some issues but it's fun, especially at that price.

Be interested to hear about the quality of the bluetooth keyboard. Was considering it for my tablet and smart TV.

Still figuring out the kinks myself as I am trying to pair it with a Galaxy Note 10.1 and a Kobo Arc, will look up again later on how to do this and will update.

WhiskeyGoblin · 29-07-2014 1:54pm

I got it to pair with my phone/nexus extremely easy. Hold FN when you turn the KB on then search for it.

The_B_Man · 29-07-2014 2:17pm

And in terms of actualy quality, is it any good?
Like you're paying a tenner for the game and the keyboard so for that cheap, I'd nearly expect it to be made of cardboard and fall apart at the slightest touch!

CiDeRmAn · 29-07-2014 4:37pm

The Keyboard is a solid chicklet style keyboard, very nice indeed.

I picked up Super Princess Peach today, only €12 in CEX Santry.
I also picked up a current gen console that is inappropriate to mention in Nintendo territory, suffice it to say that my WiiU won't be neglected, I promise!

Don't forget this was once a full priced game. With a bigger tag. As for the keyboard, I find it to be perfect for what I need/want.

EDIT: I'm using it now, with my laptop across the room and it's working perfect. The keys feels pretty solid considering it's made of plastic. The only thing i would say is that it runs on batteries. Which for some people might be a deal breaker.

WhiskeyGoblin · 04-08-2014 11:45pm

So got some stuff a bit back from the Gent that is Oisin, just never got around to posting.

Josey Wales · 07-08-2014 9:33am

Cave Story 3D just arrived in the post. I heard that it is relatively rare.

Nice, where did you pick that up?

It was from Adverts.ie actually. The game is in pristine condition and the Nintendo Club Points haven't even been redeemed.

CiDeRmAn · 07-08-2014 8:08pm

It's a great buy, hard to find.
That said....
It's free on PC and there's a free version that will run on any PSP.

Yeah but what's a collection without physical copies! Comon man, you're better than that

CiDeRmAn · 08-08-2014 10:45pm

Yes, yes it's true.
The game has two modes as well, an original and a rejigged one, only the visuals are affected.
The 3d effect is pretty nice.
While on the subject of 3DS titles, seek out Bit Trip Saga, well worth finding, cheap right now but I expect it'll be worth few bob later on.
Another good one is the Pacman/Galaga collection, forget the dreadful 3DS only ports, worth the price of admission are the inclusion of Pacman Championship Edition and Galaga Legions.
Also, there's the addition of 3D enhanced versions of the original Pacman and Galaga games, which is pretty nice.

CiDeRmAn · 10-08-2014 2:20pm

Just picked up a lovely DSi XL, boxed and complete, to add to the collection, I now have a pretty complete Nintendo Handheld collection,

Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Light
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance
Gameboy Advance SP
Gameboy Advance SP ags101
Gameboy Micro
DS
DS lite
DSi
DSi XL
3DS XL
2DS

add in a couple of Game & Watches as well as the Pikachu Mini and it's all good!

Well, almost, sold my launch 3DS to fund my 3DS XL, and I need it back, or one very similar, once I have that the collection will be pretty much complete!

CastorTroy · 26-08-2014 12:10am

Don't judge me but I just had Sonic Lost World Wii U version delivered today

CastorTroy · 30-08-2014 4:47pm

Was in Game in Derry today and picked up a Turtle Beach Wii U gaming headset for £9.99. For that price, I figured why not?

Just filled the slot, with a lovely Legand of Zelda themed black "classic" 3DS, very nice indeed.
And what did I find out after thinking sweet sweet thoughts of my complete collection of Ninty handhelds, NEW 3DS/XL incoming!
Bugger, I have to contrive excuses to need more of the same machine that can play the same games, more or less.
Bugger!

So, question will be, in 2015....
Do I splurge on a pair of 3DS consoles, all over again?
Or do I buy an Xbox One at long last?

I think the smaller of the two new 3DS consoles might do the trick for the time being, depending on what they launch with it here, although I dare say it'll get plenty of use with Metal Gear Solid 3D

RobbingBandit · 30-08-2014 6:02pm

Got two nice finds yesterday for €9.99 and €14.99 respectively, kirby mass attack for ds
and Harvest Moon a New Beginning for 3DS, both new.

I got a 400 in 1 cart for my AV modded Famicom last night and it's fantastic!
Most of these carts are awful with dreadful hacks throughout and only a handful of actual titles included.
This is almost the same except that it has 200/300 individual Famicom games on it, unhacked versions too, and a few forgettable rubbish in the last 100, but seperated from the rest.
So it's a perfect companion to my original Famicom carts and serves as a pointer to upcoming games worth buying for the console.

Why??
Is it that dodgy cart?
I have a decent if small Famicom game collection, bolstered by my Nes collection that works well on it via an adapter.
Means I can play Gradius and Gradius II from the lovely Famicom carts and follow it up with Parodius played on the Famicom from its big coarse Nes cart via an adapter and even though that game is in a Pal format it runs at full speed on the little Japanese wonder console!

CastorTroy · 31-08-2014 3:58pm

Maybe because he said if you post about a recent get without pics, a retro game is destroyed. Then you posted again without a pic, destroying another retro game, and the loss of that retro game is what saddens him.

CiDeRmAn · 31-08-2014 5:20pm

Ah, I see.

You know you can get tablets for that sort of thing
Suppositories if preferred !

Probably shouldn't mention the Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story then, or N+ both for the DS.
No, best not....

Star Lord · 31-08-2014 5:24pm

Some retro Nintendo gets recently!

It's like you feed off the pain, I just like seeing the pictures of all the wonderful gets. Although, where did you get N+?

States, it wasn't released here and I have tried it before on some dodgy card but wanted the real deal.
Looking forward to playing it, it's still on a plane somewhere!

Sweet. I must look into that

CiDeRmAn · 01-09-2014 6:44pm

Picked up Super Fun Chess for the DS today
I don't know if it's title is misleading or not, I've some good times playing chess but never anything I would describe as Super Fun.
