March 2018 hauls - Stuff for the 3rd best month of the year!

[ShoothimNow]

So they kicked me 3 days before they shipped them? Are you serious?  Well... I got my $80 back at least...

Edit 1) TJ is reiterating to me that I am still a Ballsack (God, how I love Kickstarter support....)
Edit 2) N64 to USB adapter doesn't seem to work based on comments
Edit 3) Where's the 5555?

This guy just arrived.  Let's see if it lives up to the hype.

Mine arrived as well. 

I played about 30 minutes of Mario Kart and 30 minutes of Goldeneye. 

It's super light to the point of being a little strange.  The analog stick feels pretty good.  Overall, the buttons feel good to me, but I had trouble getting used to playing Goldeneye with the new button layout.  I especially had trouble using the c-buttons.  I kept hitting c-down when I was trying to hit c-right.  I'm not sure if the c-button locations are bad or if it's just something I would have to get used to.  Overall I'm happy with the controller, but I'm glad that I only ordered one. 

I'm not a big Smash player, so I can't comment on how that feels.  I know that will be a big deal for some, but it won't matter much to me.

Took a little while to get used to Goldeneye for me, as well.  However, after a few stages I was adapted and I love it.  Played a ton of Star Fox and OoT, and those feel great.  Although the best improvement in game I have found is Mario 64.  Makes the game feel like a Wii U or Switch game with this new layout.  So I am definitely happy with my purchase.
The controller really is well done and the buttons feel great....eeeeexcept for L and R.  Maybe it's just mine, but my L and R shoulders feel loose and a little fragile.  Like, if I press them too hard they'll break.  Nothing defective, they just don't feel as tough as the rest of the controller.  Maybe it's just in my head and I'm just used to the heavy duty shoulder buttons of the PS4 and Xbox1, but if I had one complaint about the controller, it'd be that.

I also had trouble getting used to the Z buttons.  I definitely like what they did with the Z buttons, but until I can get used to it, it's messing with my muscle memory.

I also finished up my Okami collection today.   For the record, I also have the digial version of the PS3 game.  

If anyone has a scan of the DS game, I would appreciate it.





And I finally found one of these again.  I passed on one of these about 5 years ago and haven't seen another since.

Gosh! How big is that??? Looks the size of a PlayStation lol

Never seen one of those before. Great find!

Never posted my SNT.  Got the clear one. Not happy with how it looks versus the renderings that they used to sell it. I’m not alone in that regard.



Got this micro from a friend and I really don’t know any of the history behind it. Nobody seems to, and it’s been through several hands in the last 6 months. It’s not a factory job, that’s for sure. Probably a promotional item of some sort.





And finally my 3rd PSX. This one works though

It was customized by my friend, the infamous Nhantendo. It has English menus and plays games from the HDD if so desired. I designed and produced little labels and display stands for the controller and remote to go along with them. He did a limited run of 10. I’ll make sure to post more pics later.

I also bought a clear Super Nt. I feel the same way. If I could do it again I would rather have the super famicom version. The system is fantastic in every other way. I hope they do a Genesis version next.

This month's pick up's ;

I'll post the important ones first;



The archos is the 'console' and knights of valour 3 is the 'game'

Glad I spotted these on ebay, the gamepad 2 was basically new for £140, not sure if I got a bargain or if I got ripped on that...

KOV 3 was £270, considering I've only ever seen it on arcade specialist sites for around £500 I feel like I got a bargain on this, also the only other game I want for PGM 2 goes for around £600, I think it's time to start saving...

Next up,  I thought I'd cross a few games off my ever expanding list...



Played the demo of "the walking dead" , I thought it was pretty cool, so when I saw those 2 I thought why not pick them up, "wolf among us", can you really go wrong with a telltale game?
"Gravity rush"  seems like an interesting game, looking forward to trying it, "murdered" , not sure why that was on my list, picked it up anyway...

Very cool.  I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of this.  I love these things and I've always wanted one.  I just don't want to pay for one.

Congrats on the pickup.  Glad we could help you make the decision of both.

Yea these are great sticks for the PS1 and even for the PS2. I only have one and I am on the hunt for a 2nd. Be careful when opening it up to clean it. the turbo switches like to fly across a room. and it is a good idea to get some lithium grease on the stick.
