Oddly, this Rayman Origins print doesn't say anything about 60 Hz on the back (the blurb's all in English and I found some other English-worded Wii PAL boxart online mentioning 60 Hz). Mine is Australian release, isn't it? They do get 60 Hz-endowed games over there, don't they? The manual's missing, but the box says it's in English too.
The Criterion's Eisenstein "sound years" collection is, I think, in a pretty good shape for the price.



Another "compulsive-purchase-while-it's-not-so-expensive" kind of get. Nicely drawn boxart I might add.

[KennyMan666]

Finally this arrived.



Figured it was time to get a screen protector for the Wii U controller as well, as this is the first game I have that has heavy touchscreen use.

[evil_ash_xero]

That's a good screen protector.

Puyo Puyo, Elemental Master, and Hellfire. Arle has an interesting taste in armor. Only her left breast and left shoulder are armored. In Puyo Puyo~n she gets armor that covers both sides, but is still mostly unarmored.

[Obiwanshinobi]

On that Elemental Master cartridge, the picture's framing makes it look better than full boxart.
Though having played it emulated on Wii recently, I found the overseas pic more fitting the gameplay graphics (wich looks oddly pre-rendered for its time, like the PSX Diablo port or something), if not matching the "cutscenes".

1/48 scale Valkyrie

[BrianC]

The funny thing about the Elemental Master cart is that it has both "Technosoft" and "Tecno Soft" on it.

[DaneSaga]

1/48 scale Valkyrie

nice!
I have the TV version of the 1/48 Valkyrie (VF-1J) sitting next to me right now on my desk. I like to keep it in Gerwalk mode though.

[Strider77]

Yeah I have Roy's DYRL version at 1/48th along with the armor.

[rugdoctor]

I love the head of the VF-1J, somebody should 3D print those and also bigger goofier looking hands because its the macross way.

[Immryr]

anyone else get the remastered streets of rage soundtrack?

[Strider77]

Yes.

[rugdoctor]

New Zealand Post and Customs finally "passed" these to me, claiming the tax back from my business so







Will evacuate the items tonight for OEM posture play.

[KennyMan666]

It's the annual book fair here in Gothenburg! Started on Thursday and finishes tomorrow. I went on the Saturday as I usually do.

Things that were bought:



So yeah mostly Swedish stuff. Herman Hedning and Sword Princess Amaltea signed by the creators.

Also, that thing in the upper left, which I bought since I am a weak man - a micro drone.







Woop woop

[drunkninja24]

Picked up this lovely thing today



So nice to be able to play basically any Genesis/Master System/32X game on the original hardware. I still like collecting the actual games, but this does quite nicely, especially for those stupidly expensive games.

Will probably pick up an NES version in the near future, maybe SNES, though that one has some troubles with a lot of good stuff since so many SNES games used extra chips on the carts

I was looking forward to these two:

[nissling]

Bought this on Retro Gathering yesterday.

[Immryr]

What the hell. How do you have pier solar on the dreamcast? I preordered that ages ago, I didn't think any of them had shipped yet.

[nissling]

I got it for free from one of the developers as a gift.

[Strider77]

That's kind of tacky.

[Immryr]

oh boy, I'm glad I'm not someone who backed this in 2012. of course it's fine for someone involved in development to have early copies and do whatever he wants with them, sell them, give them away, smash them up. the thing that is annoying is just how many delays and how little information watermelon have given about what is going on.

[Strider77]

Yeah... the real bitch of it is not knowing any idea of whats going on, then seeing a complete version sitting in a thread that was just given away. Getting your update that way...

I didn't back this for the record, but that is about as tacky as it gets. The pick being pulled down doesn't help at this point, if anything it looks worse.

Of course there is so little news from the company about the dreamcast product, but didn't one of the founding members leave the studio?

[Strider77]

I don't know honestly. There is always mild drama around these kind of releases it seems.

[rancor]

Found these two in a local junk shop for $1.60 total (Y200).

[Ghegs]

Hah, wow. Guess Japan still has a bit of that "finding awesome deals at small shops" -thing going on.

[scrilla4rella]

Godly find Rancor.
