Super Famicom + sd2snes! Hooray! :D

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. :)
Shame it doesn't play Yoshi's island or any other super FX game. I think FFVI glitches out in the menu's after playing for a while too but I suppose thats ok since i'm not a massive RPG fan anyway. Overall i'm very pleased with mine and i'd totally recommend getting Super Famicom Wars on it if you're looking for a fun game to play with friends.

This game is HARD. Might break a controller if I don't watch out. Yes it is CIB.

Nice! That game has such good animation for an NES game. I need to revisit that one again.

Got two of the Cook & Becker SEGA art prints today (Phantasy Star and Golden Axe). Sorry for the stock photos. Will need some time to get these framed.

Paper and print quality are awesome.

Had our yearly local Anime con this past weekend.

Got this autographed by the character designer...

Then this autographed by the voice actress...

I have seen and like those prints Fudoh, especially the Golden Axe one.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

These just arrived earlier today. Can't believe it took me this long to snag the Saturn port of Gunbird (I've have the PS1 and PS2 ports for ages). Also, MPEG Lunar, cause I might as well buy a game that actually utilizes the Twin Operator sitting in my console.

No pictures, but i decided to get Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. I played Freedom Unite on the PSP in 2012 and enjoyed it, let's see how this one plays out.

With my limited free gaming time this recent haul should keep me busy for the rest of the year and most of the next I reckon. Also decided to pad-hack my old trusty Sanwa modded Dc stick to work on the Famicom for that arcade feel.

That's one of the VERY few occasions, where I like the U.S. artwork better than the JP artwork.
I don't like staring at Michael Keaton's face. In fact, I don't like to be reminded that Beetlejuice was Batman.

yeah. I feel the same way about Nights and Panzer Dragoon. Finally buckled down and got them and the 3d controller a couple months ago. The funny thing is that the 3D controller was more expensive than both of them combined with shipping.

Actually received this on Monday, but did have absolutely no time for video games this week so I didn't even unpack it until now. But now school's out, so I can be a squid now.

Probably my favorite handheld of all time. Nice score. Now seek out a cart with the English version of Mother 3 on it for the ultimate GBA experience!

We are absolutely on the same page :)

I don't think so. These buttons are so much smaller, just by eyeing it, they look about a millimeter larger than the 3DS buttons.
Hmmm, I wonder if I can get it 3D printed somehow...

Been looking forward to this since I first played the trial.

Bought a Dewalt drill from a bum for $35. I'll probably never use this. Oh well. Maybe I can do some crazy guitar stuff with it. I do feel way more manly now, though.
