I purchased Sayonara Umihara Kawase for the PS Vita. I bought the Nintendo 3DS version when it came out but I had a difficult time enjoying it. I am having more fun with this version. It even came with a cute figure, too.

This is in the mail for me, Umihara Kawase love in the house

Now me also. Thanks to Sparky for the tip. First time I ordered from AmiAmi in forever because I got burned so hard in the UK by customs tax, hopefully here it won't be the same.

Think I got lucky. Soon as I got my order confirmation it was marked as sold out on the store. I just wanted the bonus figure, really.

This will be the third and final time I attempt to get into Umihara Kawase. Really hope it all comes clear this time because my Vita is really of use.

[Sparky]

I am glad you picked it up. I noticed it was gone shortly after we discussed it. I cannot say for certain that this is the game that will stick but it was much more accessible to me. I finished two routes now and I continue to play through trying to master the mechanics.

Much-needed to play Demon's Souls on it.

It is my birthday! And since I'm a dork and wanted to open some presents on my birthday I got some gifts from myself to myself.


Yeah, it's leftover christmas paper.


There were some good things in there!


Closeup of the main one, repro cart with the english translation, came with a box (repurposed NDS game box) and a Franklin badge. Now I will be immune to projectiles! Well, lightning, at least.

Update: I built the scorpion.



But I had a lot of parts left over, which I felt could not stand, so I gave it some upgrades:


I present to you the LC514 Scorpion Tank: Mechanized Assault Arachnid

Fuuuck, that's one mean robot scorpion. Nice work!

[mnneurope]

GOOD, SOLID 28CM FRYING PAN

nice get

[KennyMan666]

It's a good pan! It's not the first of the kind I get, but the one I had was starting to get worn out, so I had picked that one up on a sale. I have now officially inaugurated it by using it to cook my birthday dinner consisting of ribeye steak.

Was one of the better ribeyes I've cooked.

(also started playing Mother 3 and yeah it's quite good)

[Strider77]

In great shape for 60.00..... pretty happy about the price and great condition.

[Synnae]

Super Famicom + sd2snes! Hooray!

I used to own a SNES when I was a kid, but was dumb enough to sell it after some years. But now I bought the console again. I'm really happy because SNES was my very first console, and it's still my favorite to this day. So it holds a special place in my heart.

sd2snes is the best flashcart for the console. It was a bit pricey, but totally worthy getting it as well.

One of those essential MD arcade++ ports, killer deal too!

So there was the annual retro game fair here yesterday. Was fun to visit, though this year I didn't buy much at all. Only these:



Had been looking for a storage case for Gamecube discs for a while. The Metroid Prime Gamecube plate I haggled down to two thirds of the asking price during the last hour of the fair.

And today I picked up this:

[Doctor Butler]

We went to the Steampunk World's Faire again.



It's a little hard to read the label, but the cogs are mint chocolate.

[Stormwatch]

I got this Galaxy Note II as a gift from a super cool friend whose wife had upgraded from that to a Note 4. I only had to pay $80 for shipping and import tariffs... but down here in Huezil, this same phone sells for $250~300 used or $550 new. It's not exactly the one I would buy (I am not fond of the changes Samsung did to Android), but it's quite beyond what I'd be able to afford (or at least than I'd be able to justify spending to myself), so it's a badass gift.

[jasoncslaughter]

[Skykid]

^ Damn awesome. Love the older cabs licensed by various arcade devs, the Irem Madonna is so cool. Great get.

[evil_ash_xero]

And today I picked up this:

This game has some control problems, and some parts are drawn out too long (the ending), but it's a hoot.
I like the story, as well.
Funny, I like EVERY Kamiya story, except for Bayonetta. Which is his most popular creation.

[Ex_Mosquito]

Nice classic Japanese cab! There is a famous 'Tetris: The Grand Master' arcade in Tokyo that still has these in operation.

I have not posted in a while as my pickups have been slim. (saving for an engagement ring for the girl I have been with for 12 years.)
Anyway here is some stuff from April and May.


First up a 110rd drum mag for my Ruger 10/22. $65




Next I got the 2 newest Cards Against Humanity expansions. $10 each




Lastly are my games. All games are new.
Walking Dead Season 2 -$20
Super Monkey Ball Banana Splitz -$11
Sly Cooper Collection -$15
Little Deviants -$5
Hatsune Miku Project Diva F2nd -$20
Conception 2 -$15
Wolfenstien The New Order -$18
Thief -$10




Got these in. Thinking of trading one off for a few new Vita games.

[KennyMan666]

Link??

Got it from here.

Here is my actually confusingly legitimate seeming copy of Mother 3:

Adding to the repro-cart posts (sorry for the crummy phone pic):



Bought a Starfox 2 repro for a good price. It had an ugly gold-painted case and roughly printed and faded label.
The mod itself looks great, nice and clean, it originated from a Stunt Race FX so it has battery back-up. I ended up swapping the case with a spare, and printed off a nice vinyl label.

[Ex_Mosquito]

I don't pick up much these days but I regretted selling my Famicom Twin last year so I took the plunge and picked this up. Classic Japanese home gaming. I will probably pick up a Disk System later on for a few of the Disk only gems. I should've gone the Faimcom+Disk System combo over the twin in the first place. Just need to get a longer pad now :/ and I'll probably mod my Sanwa Dreamcast stick for more control-demanding games.. Gradius on a pad is a bloody nightmare.. Need my old Capcom Stick ideally.

New 29'' Tri-sync in a box. Finding a good 100% compatible monitor for the X68000 is a total bitch, so I said fuck it and bought this monster. Very expensive, but it should last me a very long time. And I am completely pleased with the results.

One of these days I oughta do that.

Got some cheap crap today from the store, all worth at least what I paid:

Super-sunfaded boxed copies of Shinobi III and Maximum Carnage, both Genesis, $4, hanger tabs included. Not bad, might offload them at some point.
Resident Evil 6 Archives (shame about the remakes probably being used already, but not a bad price again).

The thing I'm not excited about, though, had me doing a double take. It looked like a binder in a slipcase but it said "Overvoltage protection" on the spine/cover. And there seemed to be something inside. Hmm...

It's not just a catalog but also a physical sample book of transient surge protection devices from ABB, mounted to a metal rail inside, 11 in all, all likely different types. It's so unusual that I had to get it. Quite likely the actual electronics are worth much more than what I paid, too. I oughta put it on a shelf somewhere where people would be likely to go "oh, hmm...what's this?"

[BIL]

At this point I think I prefer my Genesis stuff brutally sunfaded, especially the fuglier covers. ^__^ My trusty secondhand Bloodlines has THE REAL A̶R̶C̶A̶D̶E̶ RENTAL PLACE FEEL

[Ed Oscuro]

Yeah, that memory of walking through American rental places (or small markets) in the '90s with rows of sunfaded VHS covers (or just a few choice ones in the case of the market - you can't go wrong with a selection like Sleepaway Camp and Ice Cream Man) and a Neo Geo 4-slot in the back - pretty special in a funny way. I'm sure lots of people would tell me it was an airbrushed, mass-merchandized trauma and not a real memory, but there you have it.

Bonus points for the fugly water damage look on these inserts though.

Oooh, very nice! I really, really like that.

Does he have a website?
