Man Xmas nights and Virtual on for the saturn. Grats on tye great games. You should be really happy. Hoe you can get the controllers. The virtual on controller is high quality and very worth it. Especially since you can get a converter go the Dreamcast.

I didn't see any controller for it, so I figured I would give it a go once I got back to my Saturn in september. For how much I paid I ouldn't even be mad if they didn't work, but both games have almost no scratches on them and look amazing. 5000 KRW for Nights and 12000 for Virtual On.

^^^ The “3D” controller isn’t worth crap IMO. It’s just as easy to play on a normal Saturn pad.


Some trades from IG

So the 3D controller is required for X-mas Nights

I have played Nights with a regular controller. No reason to have to have that retarded one for the christmas version.

The Saturn 3D pad isn't that bad.  It's more comfortable than a Dreamcast controller.

I think there is a theme in this pic.

(https://i.imgur.com/iHrQJm2l.jpg)


Finally got around to getting this in my collection.

(https://i.imgur.com/hjnyYQil.jpg)


So a few months back I posted how I got a copy of this from Play Asia and it was completely destroyed and unplayable.  PA told me I was SOl.  I went to PayPal and opened a dispute to get all of my money plus what I got charged for shipping back.  PA fought it and only offered $10 in credit (LOL).  I refused and kept pressing.  I presented a ton of pics to Pay Pal and about 4 month later I FINALLY got a refund from PA and went and bought a new copy from Ebay.  I am officially boycotting PA from here on out.  They have the absolute worst costumer service I have ever dealt with.

I highly recommend checking out amazon.co.jp for any import needs.  They have been cheaper then PA and ship to the US in 2 DAYS! It's easy to setup account and navigate the site.

I'm only getting PA exclusives from PA at this point.

The site actually has a English option and if it's not translated, Chrome's built in translator works great.  I can't speak or read any Japanese and I was able to navigate the site, create a account, and order games from it with no issue at all.

The next set of pics are a bittersweet thing.  So the  building I work in had Z2 Live/ King and a tenant.  Since they had been owned by Activision/ Blizzard they unfortunately and very sadly got the ax in the mass layoffs that Activision did.  So I went to the floor and one of our contacts had a table full of stuff we could take, so I took a bunch of the cool stuff.  Tons of King branded pens, lanyards, water bottles, shirts, bags.  Also got a Street Fighter "Lego: figure to build, a second Big Daddy, a stack of Magic the Gathering cards.  Also got a cool plaque that employees got for working on some game but thought it was cool to add to my collection.

All Switch games through LRG are pre-order, so they will all take a long time to fill (even the Sony stuff that isn't pre-order takes a long time to fill).  Not everyone agrees with me, but in my opinion, the long wait time is a small price to pay to get these games in physical form.

Yeah, I know. Still think they could improve the time a bit by not taking preorders so soon. I am still extremely happy about that game and the physical edition. Almost bought Bloodstained from them today, too... but have a deal for a nice Sega Mega CD waiting and with around 15 Euros extra for Shipping from the USA to me its GAME or CONSOLE this month, but not both... ^^°

After sitting on this for some time, I decided to pull the trigger on an M-Cable from Marseilles.  The 9 foot one was on sale at Amazon, and while I don't NEED a 9ft cable, it was cheaper than the 6ft model and 3ft is waaay too short.

(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/5ac9/2trwk0mmk1b1mlm7g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?2trwk0mmk1b1mlm)

(https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/7610/p5o9mki4beb8fr27g.jpg) (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?p5o9mki4beb8fr2)

So if you don't know, this thing basically has a built in upscaler that redraws pixels on the fly - it's an HDMI cable that upscales games and makes them look better (youtube it for way more precise and detailed information).  I have been using it for about a day, and I've got to say, it walks the walk.  PS3, gamecube, 360 - all look definitely better with this.  I also grabbed a mini hdmi-hdmi converter and started using it with my Retrotink.  Doesn't do much for anything before PS1/N64 era, but from then on it is amazing.  N64 especially.  Retrotink helps, but this thing is like fine whipped cream on a sundae. 

So is an HDMI cable worth over $100?  I would say so - depending on what you're going to use it with.  Pretty much everything from PS1 generation to PS3 generation looks great.  Anything before or after, minimal to no benefit. 
Also, will not work with 4k.

Went to Half Price Books on Sat and Sun.  Had a 40% off coupon on Saturday and picked up the Valve book.  Went back Sunday and got FF7 with a 50% coupon.

(https://i.imgur.com/PufKuQal.jpg)


Next up is some more stuff I got from the tenant in out building (King if you didnt see the last post).  Our contact upo there had more stuff she found and gave me.  2 Amiibos, and a PoE guide book.  As well as 4 Wii U games and a PS4 game.

Next up are some Shmups!!!!! (greatest genre hands down.)  This Darius collection is fan-fucking-tastic.  Just wish it had G-Darius on it.  Went with the CE since it came with like 15 games vs. the 7 or so on the regular edition.  Came with a different soundtrack as a preoreder also.  Also glad I had it preordered because damn those reseller prices are INSANE.  Picked up Ketsui Deathtiny but unfortunately didn't get the art book like the preorder/first print.  Also I still need to buy a PS4...

On a side note, they give you a mousepad to act as a “spacer” between the SG and CD. It sort of works. It could be another ~2mm thicker.

Am I the only one who thinks that they should have put "HIGH DEFINITION GRAPHICS" on this thing?  :D

Showed up a day early :D

Man, I hoping someone can find a way to extract the Hardcore/Ultracore rom from that thing one day!

If it makes any difference, it's getting a physical release on PS4 still.  But yeah, it would be cool to have it on a Genesis cart.

Very cool.  I just wish they looked better when hooked up to a Sega CD.  

It’s gonna look REALLY goofy atop my 1st gen Sega CD. Might have to do something about that...
Cue Mega CD crammed into minimalistic custom case...

Anyway my Analogue SG got to Finland on 24th but got stuck in customs.
Should arrive today.
Arrived Yesterday.
Mine is the EU color variant.
