Starting the month out right!

[Gen Eric Gui]

2000 Wii Points Card.

-Super Punch Out!
-Bit. Trip. Beat.
-Lit

[banballow]

My computer's on the fritz again, so posting from my Wii, hence no accompanying picture...

Darkstalkers: Graphic File

Finally found a copy at a local Borders. Very nice...
... what I wouldn't give for Capcom to do a new Darkstalkers.

[Enzeru]

-Lit
Good choice.

No purchases yet, but it's my birthday month, so who knows? I'm planning on getting Ys Books I and II from the Wii VC and Ys VI for PSP.

Hells yeah!

[RayFoxSith]

http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee58/RayFoxSith/SDC10338.jpg

No Pen-Pen now.

Also, if anyone knows any other good GC games before I retire the sucker, lemme know.

[Yazarc]

^Just off the top of my head, I liked Evolution Worlds and the Resident Evil Remake is good. If you can find it in the Pure Evil pack with Zero, even better! Star Fox Adventures is a pretty fun Zelda-like game. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. The two Metroid Prime's are also decent.

If you don't have these for another system, the Gamecube offers superior versions of Prince of Persia, Beyond Good and Evil, and the Viewtiful Joe games.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Also, if anyone knows any other good GC games before I retire the sucker, lemme know.

Both Baten Kaitos games(especially Origins), and F-Zero GX if you don't already have it.

Fire Emblem 9 is a must.

[banballow]

Black DSi
Phantasy Star Portable
Silent Hill Origins
Tomb Raider Anniversary

[Fuyukaze]

No pics but I finaly got mario/duck hunt for the nes.

Yes, I've wanted it for years and finaly got one. Dont know if I should cry with joy or shame as I realy wanted it.

[RayFoxSith]

Ike, I will pay you for a copy of Ogre Battle (both PS1 and N64). >.<

[Ike.]

I've had people eying the copy of Ogre Battle 64 we have. I should probably grab it :<

[RayFoxSith]

Beyond Good and Evil

Next on my list.

[Enzeru]

You mean you waited all this time to get it? xD I'm from the N64 era and even I still have the duck hunt gun (and game, of course)!

Anyway, my Evangelion Playing Cards arrived along with some Bleach ones for my brother, and so did Boktai. My mom's camera doesn't want to upload, though...

[Gen Eric Gui]

Black DSi
Trauma Center: New Blood
Rhythm Heaven

I really didn't care about the DSi, but it feels similar to the original system in my hands, so that along with the reset button, DSiware shop, and free 1000 shop points tipped me over the edge. I'll miss old faithful though :'(

[Kakizaki]

but it feels similar to the original system in my hands

Really? That's interesting. The feel of the DS Lite is one of the biggest gripes I have about it. I prefer the feel of the original DS by quite a bit.

[Gen Eric Gui]

I mean in terms of size and shape. It's nice and wide and doesn't feel like I'm going to crack it in half just by holding it.

[Enzeru]

I got a Blue DSi for my birthday, about 18 days early. I wouldn't have traded my old DS in to get it, but as a gift, it almost feels like a new system!

PS: WarioWare Snapped! is an essential for the DSi. It only takes up 500 points, so I got the new Art Style, too. It's not as good as the Wii ones, IMO.

[SickleCellAnemia]

http://www.arlus.exelements.net/forum/download/file.php?id=257
Street Fighter IV figures and a Goomba from Toys R Us(TRU is actually useful for once!), and FFTA2 from the Game Days sale at GS.

[Ike.]

#### yo DSis and yo PSPs. Dis where it at.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/004-8.jpg

Got the Game Gear for free from work.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/003-12.jpg

Paid 38 dollars for Lunar.

[maddy]

rayyy, that penpen is so cute. i want it!

no pic because the book isn't with me but:
the pokemon platinum phonebook, i mean, game guide/pokedex! :9 i love it.

[RayFoxSith]

^How is Platinum, Maddy?

Also, yeah, he is cute and pudgy. Got him at a con a while back. >.>

Ya, I did. I've found it many, many, many times over but on principle I've refused to buy it on the grounds they wanted too high a price for it. Many of the local pawn shops often times have 5-10 copies of it at any given and still ask $3-$7 each yet sell the individual games for $1-$3 each. There's over 25 millions copies of it out there. I refused to pay anything over fifty cents for it. Thankfully all I had to pay for it was my brother in laws mocking laughter and finger pointing as he laughed at me. Untill he realized I was dead serious in my joy of finaly getting it.

[maddy]

^How is Platinum, Maddy?

it is super fun! i wish i had more time to play it, but i've been really busy at work lately. i reallyyyy loved pearl when i played through it -- it has been so long since, though, that i'm not noticing the differences that much, but its still so fun that i'm glad i'm working my way through it again. i just can't wait to fill my sinnoh dex &start working on the national again ..

[Divals]

I haven't posted yet this month, what's wrong with me? :p
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g85/Divals/IMG_0675.jpg

The PSP and DS games are from GameStop's Game Days sale, and the other two items are from Goodwill.

[Ike.]

Sanitarium kicks ass. Awesome find.

[Gen Eric Gui]

Tokyo Beat Down
Hammerin' Hero

Tokyo Beat Down is pretty generic so far, but I just had to own a game with a main character named Lewis Cannon. I just...had to.

[Ike.]

Mother####ing SCORE.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/photos/002-10.jpg

^Ray, what's the bonus disc that comes in Accent Core + ?

[RayFoxSith]

^It's just a soundtrack. Of course, Aksys was too lazy to include a list of the songs.

[xeno]

I got a game I've been searching for for nigh ten years, for 1$ for every year.
Thousand Arms complete, for $10 :)

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/2706/dscf2942.jpg

After reading the manual, I have to say, I am extremely impressed by Atlus back then.
The amount of things included is way beyond what most companies would do back then, and still most even now.
(Even if, all that's included is a Sticker set of 4, which most probably used, a probably invalid CD offer and a Holographic card.)

The interviews were interesting, and the artwork is amazing, not to mention Ayumi Hamasaki's song being Nostalgic.
(A Thousand Arms demo was one of, if not my first experience with Atlus)

The pic is not the best, sorry.

I'm so ****ing jealous! I thought I was lucky to get if for $32, and mine doesn't even have the stickers!

Bandiger is totally my second favorite Atlus character now; his character design, attacks, and voice acting are great.

[Delition]

Tokyo Beat Down is pretty generic so far

I agree fully with this. Plus, the run command doesn't work if you hit the buttons too fast (for me, anyways).

Anyways, I recently got my copies of R-Type Final and Vanguard Bandits (I only paid $40 for VB, and $20 for R-Type new), as well as Tokyo Beat Down and Hammerin Hero.

[Hamel]

Went to GS today and got some games
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r309/shikikun/Apr09.jpg

[Rednusander]

^ I really enjoyed the last form of Dracula on that one. Was more challenging than he has been in years.

[Divals]

AHHHH TAKE THE STICKERS OFFFFF!!!!1one

sorry, I'm slightly obsessive when it comes to stickers on my games.

A couple days ago I got Hammerin' Hero, and today I picked up Lux-Pain. I hear it has translation issues, but it was $20 new with the artbook so I bought it anyway, and my DS has a dearth of visual novels.

Where did you find it for 20 dollars?! I totally could've gotten that instead of Ys: The Ark of Napishtim. I *hate* it.

EDIT: Gamestop? I was just there! Ugh. Next week I'll get birthday money, though.

[RayFoxSith]

[Kakizaki]

Maddy bought me Pokemon Platinum. :lovefirefox:

[Foryth]

#### yeah!

XBOX 360 Pro, with an intercooler and two wireless controllers for 160$. Bought it from a friend who had a second 360 for his girlfriend but she wasn't playing with it anymore.

+

The Last Remnant for 20$ (and trading in the Project Gotham Racing I got for free + Luminous Arc I wasn't playing)

Finaly I enter current gen and I will be able to play all those games I've been wanting to play! :lovefirefox:

[banballow]

Well, the DSi payed off to the tune of 160 Coins, helping to reach my goal of a shiny new Game & Watch Collection.

[Gen Eric Gui]

Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented
Gungrave: Overdose
Wild ARMS: Alter Code F


I now officially own all the Fatal Frame and Wild ARMS games, and have not beaten any of them. Hooray!

[Futomimi]

I'm only posting this so I can use the random emoticon. :lovefirefox:

"it's blitz" - yeah yeah yeahs! i <3 their new cd!

"it's blitz" - yeah yeah yeahs! i <3 their new cd!

Cool, I might check it out. I really liked Fever to Tell and the previous albums, but haven't listened to anything they did afterwards.

[RayFoxSith]

Maddy bought me Pokemon Platinum. :lovefirefox:

Damn, that's scary we got it at the same time. >.>

[banballow]

Feeding my old JPS2, went ahead and ordered the Darkstalkers Collection that was released a few years back. Alt + 3 Darkstalkers. If only the folks at Capcom would release a Darkstalkers IV.

[ViolenceJack]

"it's blitz" - yeah yeah yeahs! i <3 their new cd!

Nice, I'll have to get that sometime.

I had originally bought some s-video cables for my Dreamcast. Turned out they weren't compatible with my TV for one reason or another so I took it back and got this.

It was between Prinny or Initial D: Street Stage...I cracked because, well, you can't go wrong demonic penguins. MGS: PO was a surprising find. The game is hard as hell to find in my area!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/guyanesenerdalisticboi/DSC07066.jpg

THUNDER!!, Faith and oversexed robots, blue aliens and lenderhosen wearing pretty boys. Seriously, first time I saw Tidus I was like "DAYUM" until I realized it was a dude. Then I just read fanfics.

Apparently I can clean the yellowing if I use 15% hydrochloric acid. That #### can eat skin. I'm thinking of painting it yellow-gold instead.

[Ike.]

Try one of those Tide pens that you can get at the dollar store. Those work to get rid of the yellowing sometimes.

[Foryth]

Damn the yellowing on my old Snes I've had since launch year isn't nearly as bad, but it is in almost exactly the same areas.

[Ike.]

They're probably from the same generation. There's a definite pattern to the yellowing of some consoles.

[raiku]

my cameras broken, but i bought this week hammerin hero, saints row 2, eyeshield 21 volume 25, jojo bizzare adventure vol 11(finally took viz long enough. a word to them, stop releasing 4-5 new naruto volumes every few days and stop censoring hunter x hunter or im just gonna read them online) rostario vampire vol 6

and one of those MGS4 Big boxes

[Dead to Rights]

^ I am extremely jealous of your copies of Tail Concerto, however I would have been even MOAR JEALOUS if you scored six sealed copies of Eggs of Steel: Charlie's Eggcellent Adventure. Now just thinking about that makes me drool!

[Ike.]

I got these today :)

What is this and how do I buy 10 of them

[SlaughterX]

PS2 Saturn pad, and the only chance you have at getting one now is to wait for someone to sell theirs on ebay... they usually go for over $100 too. This (http://cgi.ebay.com/Sega-Saturn-PS2-Control-pad-Street-Fighter-IV-4-PS3-PC_W0QQitemZ110378760028QQihZ001QQcategoryZ117042Q QssPageNameZWD2VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp163 8Q2em122) is the only one I see on ebay at the moment, and it's not the LE Darkstalkers version. Glad I bought mine when they first came out, I thought $50 was pretty steep at the time, but it ended up paying off. The only thing I regret is not buying more when PA first clearenced them out for like $20... Anyway if it makes you all feel better I can't even play my copy of Vampire Chronicle since my JP PS3 broke, but at least the controller still gets used whenever my friends come over and want to play SFAA.

[ViolenceJack]

Manga Studio, awesome!! Any chance you can buy the EX version?

Hmm the upgrade would be $200, but I'll have to get used to Debut first before I consider upgrading to EX.

I'd like to get Groboto.

I bought one of these when they first came out, and I really wish I would have bought at least one more. I have always been a huge fan of the JP Saturn pad.

[Ike.]

I'm actually pretty sure they sell adapters that convert Saturn pads to PS2 or DC.

[Kakizaki]

^To DC yes (I own 2 such converters). I've never personally seen ones that convert to PS2. Not saying they don't exist, but I've never seen or heard of them.

[Dead to Rights]

I picked up one of these (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=351264) for the Sega Genesis Collection (PS3) and PC (MAME). They are flawless. Unfortunately they do not work on the Xbox 360, but who knows? Maybe someone will release a work-around adapter or something.

[Kakizaki]

^I know Sega made some USB versions, but the ones listed in those auctions are the knockoff ones right? I've heard pretty decent things about those as well.

[Dead to Rights]

^ I don't know if the ones listed in the auction at this very moment are knockoffs or not, but when the thread was created in February there were only two sellers and about 18 controllers total listed. It was confirmed by NeoGAF and SRK that the controllers were genuine Sega Saturn USB pads manufactured by Sega Logistics Services.

The controllers were sold for about $40 a pop.

[Kakizaki]

^Ah, I see.

I just saw the current ones selling for around $20, so I was assuming they were knockoffs.

[Ike.]

Got some kinda haul this week, gentlemen and ladies.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/005-3.jpg

Someone brought this into the store, sealed, to sell it. I could hear the disc shaking around in the box, which happens sometimes. I told him I was going to need to open it before I could take it. When I did, the disc was pretty badly scuffed (a chunk of plastic from the casing had broken off at some point) and I told him I couldn't take it. He said "Just keep it." So I resurfaced it. :D Not that I really give a #### about Guitar Hero anymore but it might be fun to bust out on a slow weekend.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/004-3.jpg

Got a new copy of Sonic 3 at the flea market for 2 dollars. I had it already but the save battery is fried. :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/003-3.jpg

Maniac Mansion!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/002-6.jpg

Somebody apparently left Mario and Luigi at the store. Oh well.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/ikrsez/001-9.jpg

Bought DQIV at the flea market, sealed, for 20 bucks. Woop woop.

Not pictured: Boxed copy of Shadowrun (Genesis), and my Sega CD RAM Backup that is on its way.

[RayFoxSith]

My God, Ike, how do expect to play all these games?

[Camanche]

I think he wants to send them to me. I'll play them for him and let him know how it goes. :p

[Ike.]

Welll

Maniac Mansion and Sonic 3 I've beaten before. So I'll just pop those in whenever the urge to play strikes me.

Guitar Hero is a casual game. For me, anyway.

I'm about halfway through DQ5 and will start DQ4 immediately after.

Mario and Luigi was free, so I included it.

I've restarted Astro Boy about 4 times because I keep missing people (and therefore upgrades) so that'll keep me busy for some time :<

[thinkfreemind]

[Hitoshura]

^What is wrong with you, man!

[Divals]

This week's junk.. er, stuff:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g85/Divals/IMG_0677.jpg

A ton of cheap easter candy, a Mighty Mighty Bosstones CD from a yard sale, the Agatha Christie game is also from the same yard sale, Burnout Paradise for $10 from a used game store, the Shin Megami Tensei and Fullmetal Alchemist manga from Half Price Books, the Myth-whatever series from a used book store that's going out of business, so I paid a grand total of $2.65 for the lot (plus one is illustrated by Phil Foglio, of whom I am a fan), the Angel Tales box/dvd/mini-plushies combo from Big Lots, and Medieval Total War from the yard sale. Woot!

[Futomimi]

Holy ####. That's a lot of M&M's.

[SlaughterX]

Now people won't complain when they come over and I don't have Good-tar Heero thanks to Blockbuster 70% off sales. :D

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e356/Zausticaa/Photo3-1.jpg

I also got Dark Spire, but it's not in yet. Still waiting. And a few CD's and spring/summer clothes. But I don't like to take pictures that much.

[Crabman]

^I'd love to know how Nom-a-Kop works out :D

Slaughter, that must be quite the sale! I wish there were such deals locally.

I bought the new Rock Band Kick Pedal. It feels like I have to bring it all the way up to get it to register though.

[Futomimi]

Woo hoo, Cammy! Show those Canada winters who's boss! (and maddy, when she comes here and comments on your "hooker pink" DS)

[Camanche]

It's metallic rose! They didn't have any white left, and I didn't want to get another colour and confuse my DS with a friends.

[Fuyukaze]

I actualy like the look of the metalic pink DS...

It's almost as good as my pokemon black DS.

[maddy]

HOOKER PINK, CAMMY YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS.

i bought a fish and his name is barfy and he lives in the back room of work and here he is with a lil wayne cd that is his music staff pick! he lives in christmas. and that is his nametag hanging up in the back.

http://i41.tinypic.com/2zp43n4.jpg

[SlaughterX]

The fish will kill itself if you make it listen to that.

[Camanche]

^LOL

I didn't think hooker pink was a colour. :(

Too late now. I don't mind it.

[maddy]

just teasing, cammy, i think it is cute :)

[Camanche]

lol <3

I think it's mauve. Thats' the word I was thinking of.

Hookers have officially been assigned their own colour.

[Sagadego]

This HEAVENLY game finally arrived from Canada last week, and yesterday I bought this Mario shirt. It says "I'D HIT THAT" under the question block, HOW WITTY.

[Olethros]

WHAT??? When did Mimi get assigned her very own color? (spelled without a u) :p

To be honest, I actually prefer most of the Canadian spellings. I just won't officially acknowledge them due to their origin in an inferior country! :p

Also, the Canadian pronounciation for schedule is just friggin' awkward!!!!

[Futomimi]

The letter U is for gay Commie socialists imo.

[Divals]

The letter U is for gay Commie socialists imo.

Well then, we must eradicate it from our vocabulary! I'll start right now!

Ew, do all GameBoy Micros leave fingerprints on them like that? I kinda want one for the sharper screen, but not if it's gonna get all nasty.

Good find on Drilldozer. I saw it at Target for that price and have been kicking myself for not picking it up.

[Sagadego]

depends on the face plate color i think

I had no idea this was supposed to be a Canadian thing, I've always written those words without a U and I have no idea how else one would write schedule. :P

[jeffx]

Americans say "skedule", we say "shedule".

[Enzeru]

^^I always thought it was a European thing...

Anyway, I got Trauma Center UtK 2 (15 bucks on Amazon), Mazes of Fate (GBA), The Dark Spire, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, and Lux-Pain this month. I'll post pictures when Mazes of Fate arrives.

[Fuyukaze]

Got Rythem Tengoku today. All I had to give was a $10 money order and a complete copy of Soul Calibur.

Also got Aerobiz supersonic for the SNES, a blue gamegear, and GP-1 for the SNES. Now I just need to find 4 more games and I'll have the SNES clear of Atlus titles. I'm just not sure I can buy a Soccer game though.....

Is that sword a reproduction?
It looks to be dual sided, kinda Spanish in origin, maybe British in style at least, and if not a reproduction....maybe 40 years old?
Possibly an older reproduction...

It looks to be a somewhat new design as the top of the blade seems more suited to the front rather than both sides, which seems to be a newer trait, and the front seems more sharpened than the rear, but that could be the light.

But I seldom know what I am talking about with that...Sorry for rambling...

But that looks really cool! :)

A Game Gear...wow...I have some games on that system...not many though...Still fun for the time though...

Congrats on the stuff.

[Ike.]

So are we getting that soundtrack, or...?

[Juanblue85]

So are we getting that soundtrack, or...?

I pray that we will.

[Futomimi]

Wow, the boxart for the Persona remake is nice. Atlus USA would be wise to keep that.

[Lorinosan]

Blah! I've been rather busy this month rearranging everything for my new home. I haven't bought much as a result but here's what I acquired for the month.

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/Lorinosan/Spoils/AprilSpoils04290901.jpg

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a51/Lorinosan/Spoils/AprilSpoils04290902.jpg

I don't have very much to say except to look forward to next month's spoils. Oh and also thanks to Namco for finally making a use for that code included in the Tales of Vesperia SE. Took them like a million years just to give us the second volume of the soundtrack which is nothing too amazing but oh well.

[Vicious1915]

Well I had no idea this thread existed, lol.

Caught at work without my camera so I'll make a little list.

April Spoils:

Digital Devil Saga 1 Deluxe Edition
Squidbillies Volume 2
My-Hime (Anime Legends Collection)
Fate/Stay Night complete series
Burn My Dread -Reincarnation Persona 3-
Tickets to the June 21 FF: Distant Worlds concert in Texas

~Yesterday we ordered four Final Fantasy VI artbooks and a Japanese copy of the Super Famicom version of FF VI, and a Persona 2: Innocent Sin artbook and a Persona 2: Eternal Punishment artbook. They should arrive around the first part of May so I'll include pics when we get 'em in next month's thread~

Final spoils for the month...

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb181/Genma_Gouki/IMGP0698.jpg

[Elizabeth]

Wooooo! I just ordered the two volumes of Excel Saga I was missing! I was really scared I wouldn't be able to find them since they're out of print and fairly scarce. I had no idea Viz wasn't finished releasing the series, though! I know it's 22 volumes but they started in 2003!

That site also had really cool figures of Mitsuru and Miss Spencer that I want really badly but I'm not paying $50+ for them.

[The_Other_Self]

This month:

Tales of Symphonia: EX Volume
http://i40.tinypic.com/bf25fk.jpg

And Persona 4:
http://aidanmoher.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/persona-4.jpg

I freaking love P4 right now~

[Vicious1915]

YAY!!! I got my DSi yesterday!!!!

[Teyania]

I bought The Dark Spire and Fallout 3 this month. I still can't bring myself to touch Fallout 3 because I'm so intrigued with The Dark Spire.

[SlaughterX]

Looks like I spoke too soon, just got this in the mail...

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb181/Genma_Gouki/IMGP0699.jpg

Sucks I already listened to the entire Stankonia album in just Dolby Digital, ohh well, guess it will give me a good comparison of fidelity. Now to go hook this thing up, which is going to be a pain in the ass...

[Gen Eric Gui]

Dead Head Fred and Tokobot Plus.

[Elizabeth]

After a bit of debating I've decided to reserve Blazblue online since I'm sucker for art books.

Hmm... I can't even remember the last game I reserved that wasn't Atlus. Wait... Oh, wow, I think it was Psychonauts!

[Foryth]

A friend sold me his copy of Star Ocean : The Last Hope for 30$.

Nice, DTR!

It’s a shame that my pen isn’t working :( A friend of mine has one similar, but he doesn’t want to give it to me even after I offered another one in exchange.

My only spoil of the month is a red checked cloth dress I bought yesterday.
