Watched some videos on this... I'm intrigued but not sure if I want to pull the trigger yet...

Here is one of the better videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey-K3qHcJ2w&t=924s

I'm not super familiar with consolized MVS's, but I thought that they had some type of "credit" button built in to emulate inserting a coin into the system.  Does this have that?

It’s the R button on a Saturn controller. Not sure how it works with a new geo pad or stick.

Wiggy, whats the link.  It seems like there is a $188 + $60 shipping one

Yup, that’s the one.

I noticed old mate has another version for an additional $100 or so but it's HDMI out. Reckon that'd make much of a different from your time with it so far?

Got this in the mail yesterday

Dude, just grab one if you have any desire to do so. They’re not gonna be up there forever. He’s using the 1C board too.  Expensive and sought after for consolized MVS.  Worst that could happen, you sit on it for a year or so, then sell it for WAY more. The price is sort of unbelievable.

Well, I pulled the trigger last night and bought one.  I also ordered a 161 in 1 multi cart which will cover me for a while until I decide to shell out the cash for an actual NeoSD.  As I mentioned last month, I still had one open slot on my Extron switcher, so it will be nice to fill that slot.  I'm just not sure where I will actually put the console itself since I don't have any open spaces on my shelf.  I guess it might replace my Neo Geo X dock since I don't really have any actual use for it, especially now.

what are better: 1C or 1B boards, as both are available.

Added 3rd variation of SMW to my collection

[Krombacher]

Happy to add these to my collection.  Looking to add more Genesis games I remember playing as a kid on Sega Channel.

I believe the 1C is the preferable choice, but don’t quote me on that.

So I went to a Garage sale near me and I honestly was not expecting much. I was wrong and happily so.

   
 

I also got a drone to play with. All in all not a bad pickup for 25 bucks for the lot.

Nice set of pickups there.  Woolly World is my second favorite Wii U game and Super Paper Mario is a lot better than most people give it credit for.  It's certainly not as good as the first two Paper Mario games, but it's still a lot of fun and one of my favorite Wii games.  NSMB U is a lot of fun as well, but being one of the last NSMB games, the repetitive nature of the series starts to show.  I've never gotten into the Galaxy games, but I've heard good things.  I just don't get much enjoyment out of 3D Mario games.

Took the family to the mall today.  In one of the toy stores, they had a Chinese NES Classic ripoff on display.  The worker was super excited when he saw me looking at it.  He said, "For $60, you get 500 games!!!!  Can you even imagine that many games?"  I of course didn't say anything back.  I just thought to myself, 500 games....... that's cute.

I never got into the Galaxy games either. I skipped the Wii as it looked terrible. The idea of swinging your arms around with the Fisher Price looking Wii mote. Looked far too kiddy for me. Picked up the Galaxy games when I bought the Wii U. Hated flicking the Wiimote to make Mario Jump. Just felt like such a chore only finished the first game, couldn't bring myself to play the second game.

Finds from the weekend! 

First, went by a local flea market and grabbed these.  I was really excited to find Blade Runner as I had been looking for it for a while. 


Then stopped by Goodwill on the way home and found this.


The next day I went to a local toy show and grabbed a few things. Not as good as luck as Tomba but I did get a Blackthorne manual to complete my copy.

[Yoshi Egg]

What system is Blade Runner for? Never knew this was a game
