May 2014 Pick ups
Retro Deckades:
I have to agree with palmer on this one! I only recently played the game -- I picked it up on sale from the Wii U eShop. If I had known I was going to enjoy it so much, I would have picked it up on day one!
It you have any affinity for Ducktales, be it the original cartoon or the NES game, you really are in for a treat. The touches Wayforward added to the game help make it feel like you are playing an episode of the show, and the improved control and hit detection I thought really made a big difference.
And of course, no recommendation of the game would be complete without mentioning the fantastic music. The modern day remixes of songs are excellent. The bass that kicks in at the beginning of the Moon theme is awesome, and I find myself even more attached to the updated Amazon theme than the original!
One of the biggest surprises has to be the brand new Mt. Vesuvius level theme. That absolutely feels like it was written for the original game. It's catchy as all hell!

My last pickup was a gamble that didn't pay off, I'm not even going to take pictures of it. I bought a Wii clone system, one of those cheap looks like a wii system you plug into the TV. This one though I noticed something odd:

A lot of these clone systems are actually based on NES-on-a-chip, and can play famicom carts (Or nes with the 72-to-60 pin adapter). Some of them even come with multi-carts of famicom games. I got it and I was right, that's a 60 pin famicom board in there. Famicom carts fit in the slop perfectly. Too bad they don't play, and it's not a famicom cart or games on it; they just used the same form factor.
The nice things about the multicarts some of these systems have, they're not existing games jammed into the cart, some of them are new. This wasn't one of these cases.
