April 2017 Pickups!

[BigChew]

As far as I know this is every (non-philips) Zelda game released in the states.

Man I love the NES and SNES white covers. Do you have a template for them?

[Bear78]

I guess the CDI games also count, and the Game & Watch Zelda game (Winch is in the Game & Watch Gallery 4 on GBA)

There's also the "Game Watch" which is different then the Game & Watch and the 3 Tingle games if you want to count them although none of them were released in the US.

... I know a few things about this

(This is an old pic)

Here's my haul from Family Video that TDIRunner mentioned. Apparently I got stupid lucky and the employee wasn't even supposed to sell these to me but I didn't learn that till later.

I was really surprised how easily Family Video's stickers peeled off.  They came right off in one try without any assistance and didn't leave any sticky residue.  I was pretty impressed.  I didn't try the sticker on the discs yet.  I might not eve bother.  Slightly higher risk there.

Yeah, the disc stickers come off pretty easily too.  Just be careful and clean with alcohol instead of goo gone.  I took all the stickers off mine with no real issues.

I made the template myself.  You can find the NES one here.

I didn't think about the Game Watch or the Game and Watch.  I probably won't be picking that and the philips CD-i up due to price.

Grab Game & Watch Gallery 4 on the GBA like Larry mentioned.  It has Game & Watch Zelda as an unlockable game on the cart.  I made a cover for it too: https://app.box.com/s/lj867vpor3ehr62tlyerah9jtlpi7yiu

The CDI games are like a thing that happened that everyone pretends didn't happen.

You mean the US election or Brexit???  Lol.  Just kidding, no politics allowed.

Meh, if they have the R1G1 sticker... and the game hasnt rented in 3+ months, they are allowed to sell it for the retail price the computer says (R1G1 games are USUALLY $9.99).  The only one I can see them giving you a hard time about after the fact is Mario, as they try to protect those.

Leaving the stickers on gives you lifetime cleanings for free.  Either that (sticker) or by having the receipt.  and I would rather have the sticker on it than have a receipt in the case I guess.  Unless I photoshopped the 8x11 "receipt paper" down to the size of a manual.

Blue Rider showed up from Play Asia yesterday.

That's helpful.  I hadn't been in a Family Video in about 10 years, so I didn't know any of their rules.

Finally got on board with the Wii U.   Picked up all this for $140.  Person selling it said they broke the charging port on the gamepad, and while yes, it is flaky, their issue was their AC adapter, they severed part of the cord, so no juice.  One sloppy splice later and I'm back in action.


I must say, I am impressed, although, the Wii was so bad (from a visual standpoint), that anything looks good.
