New Ninty Gets!

I'm constantly tempted by the idea of getting a Wii again to play some of those Gamecube classics. Dunno how I'd justify another box under the telly to the missus though.

Depending on what kind of significant other you are, try :
"My love, I think of (around 90% of) your eyes every time I look at this shiney white box."

"Look Mrs Fixxxer. The box can go Head, Gut or under the telly, your choice!"

"Let me put this here, and I assure you madam, you *shall* get the ride"

"Sky/Virgin/yer man down the pub we bought the Kodi box off (delete as applicable) said we have to connect this to the TV immediately or we run out of Poldarks!"

<mess up your hair, hold the Wii before you and leer at it> "Point seven! two! nine! Gigahertz..... Pooooweeeerrrrrr!"

"Remember last year you said for our anniversary you wanted to see Broadway?" and hand her a tri-wing. This is a feeble chipset joke.

Wow you can play them like a mandolin sir, or another stringed instrument, perhaps a Ukulele, also leave Tinkles alone.

This would work more effectively than I am comfortable admitting.

Went all the way to cex Tallaght for this, and I couldn't find the case so thought someone had bought it or they'd lost the case. Turned out someone hid it behind the DVD's!

yea its 16eur min delivery from the US from 0 - 2kg home delivery as they dont do local post office collection for their US service for some reason. and this is before they even charge for customs if it applies to whatever you ordered.

A Ninty NFC reader came into the house today, bought by my son.
At least it means he can use our mutual Amiibo collection on his array of 3DS games.

Picked up 6 blind bags of Mario k'nex figures. I say blind bags but I gave them the full Sarandon treatment, pretty sure I got Yoshi, Peach, Bowser or Dk, Diddy Kong and Toad. 56c each!

Has it all the stuff or just game only? I haven't even looked at mine, I just got the game. Still raging the price of the pre order that time

RobbingBandit

Just the game again should be getting it later today as friend was at man utd game yesterday but had a list of stuff to look out for me, am looking forward to playing it this time as it was in my to play collection that went awol. Teddy from number 4 is my favorite character, absolutely bonkers.

Incoming arcade controller for the N64, I didn't even know that they made such a device for the console.
There's a few pure arcade titles for the format, and this will be perfect for them.
I'll post a pic as soon as I collect it tomorrow!
Can't wait!

CiDeRmAn

Picked up the N64 arcade stick and it's amazing, and huge!



I've asked on the Retro forum for tips on what titles the N64 is host to that the stick will work well on, but any suggestions here would be welcome.
It maps all the functions of the classic N64 controller onto it, but I don't think it's going to work well with Mario 64 or GoldenEye!

Well, if you ever need to bludgeon a burglar to death...

Won't stop me getting the Chrono Trigger

Banjo

Would that monstrosity work with that fighting game? Fighters Fury or Fighters Destiny or Fighter-Horn or something like that. The one where you jump around a square platform trying to beat a jester to death. Can't remember how many buttons it used but it was a fighting game, and fighting games demand arcade controllers. And it was surprisingly fun if a little slow. Also, and I know it wasn't popular with you and your arcade purist brethren, but Mortal Kombat 4 was a fast, furious, button-mashing masterpiece (ok, it had that one throw where the girl jumped up on your shoulders, tried to suffocate you with her nethers and then snapped your neck. The internet was slow and the sites were all pay per view, I was easily impressed back then). Was there a Killer Instinct sequel too, that possibly wasn't great due to the shoehorning of 3D rotating backgrounds into the 2D mix just because it was "next gen" but again, you know, fighting game?

Can you put a banana in that shot for scale? Or an n64? It looks like it's about the same size, possibly even using the same plastic housing as the N64

I'm sure that arcade stick would have made my day back in the times of N64 and my relentless play sessions of KI Gold.

Today though, looking at it, I threw up my mouth a little :pac:

It's bigger than the console itself.
I think Aerofighter and Robotron will be good on it.
Namco Museum and I'm not sure what else.
I'll report further after some research!

Would like to hear your impressions on it. Love the Persona games, the main reason for getting the 2DS was so I could play the SMT games too.

Loving Persona decided to play as the Persona 4 character, Kanji and hearing the theme music again is great, eye issues are flaring up again for me so not gonna spend too much time on it, I liked number 1 in the series the Etrinian Odyssey style is very like that game again, loved number 3 too so am hoping to start a file with those characters too.

RobbingBandit

Buy a digital copy as the boxed prices are extremely high for most SMT games, forgot how creepy and funny the dialogue of persona 4 is.

I couldn't be bothered to take a photo with just Ninty stuff, so imagine the non Nintendo stuff isn't there.

Will defo keep you busy!

I bought Bravely Second for the 2DS the other day without really knowing what it was, should I play Bravely Default first?

If you can pick up Bravely Default cheap, absolutely.

If not, Bravely Second will spoil the entire plot of the first game in the opening cutscene, and continue to heavily reference it throughout.

If you don't care about plot, that's cool, but it will invalidate ever checking out the original game.

I got Arkanoid for my Famicom yesterday.
Happy Ciderman
It should have come with the paddle controller, but it didn't.

I made a raucous complaint to the seller.

You have Samus Returns with that 3ds,so you don't need the legacy edition. So I'll do you a favour and take it off you to free up some space

Collected this today from An Post.

Have you tried Sligeach's house?
Make a noise at the front door like some free WiiU-exclusive dlc and then let yourself in the back.

The keyring is surprisingly large. And plasticy.

I've done that mire than once, don't feel bad! Usually I remember to read the as but the amount of stuff I've bought online over the years, can't win them all.
Or it's under another heading and not in as details ugh.

In their defence the auction did say cart only
In my defence, the auction was fronted by a photo of the complete item, including controller.

Much as I'd like to make a generous donation, the console doesn't come with the game!

Got me hands on Assassin's Creed Black Flag for a tenner yesterday.

I've been keeping an eye out for it ever since someone here described it as an "Aarrr-em-up"
