I just bought wild guns and evo search for eden along with beyond good and evil for the ps2

Never thought I’d do that, but I bought a clone system today. I got the black version Retron 1 (NES only) and bought an original NES controller to go with it. I figured I didn’t have enough space for an original NES and I don’t have any nostalgia for the system. The original ones seem to be WAY too expensive in my area too.. I was hesitating between a Retron 1 and a Retroport adapter to use with my SNES.. but I figured I’d rather play with an original NES controller for a better experience. So I went the Retron 1 route.

Haven’t tested it yet but I heard it’s not compatible with Castlevania III and most Dragon Warrior games. I never owned an NES before so I’m excited to give it a try! Didn’t get any game when I purchased the system cause the only store that was open at the flea market today (it’s Easter, afterall) sells game at atrocious prices. Ordered a copy of Ninja Gaiden I and StarTropics online. Might be looking for a copy of the first Castlevania if I can find it for around $20 canadian (which seems to be impossible in my area).

Anyway.. the system is almost the same size as an NES cartridge and is very very light weight. The price asked for it at most places is very good. I paid $30 canadian (around $22,60 US today).

TLDR : I bought a Retron 1, an NES controller, Ninja Gaiden I and StarTropics.

Skitchin’ is, indeed, quite bitchin’.

I mean it’s kind of repetitive, but it’s good kitschy fun.

Just ordered a new Super Everdrive to test out new games before adding them to the collection since I broke my old one. I also bought a nice SFC game called Dezaemon.. It’s a shooter/shmup maker game.. as in, you create your own game. You can make sprites and even the music! There is also a default shooter included in the game and its actually not half bad! It seems like people rarely speak of this game. I read about it in the Super Play magazine last year.

Also, as I stated in another part of the forum, I recently acquired a Super Famicom along with GS Mikami, Gundam Wing: Endless Duel, Super Puyo Puyo 2 Remix and Go Go Ackman 1.

Guess what just arrived this past Friday? This beastly game :

Also my small CRT makes its glorious return (it had been stored at my parents’ place)!

EDIT: Just finished the game! It was pretty fun but kinda short (just like other Natsume games on the SNES like Power Rangers and Ninja Warriors). Things get harder in the last few levels!

Hard to say.. but it was fairly short. It was about as long as its Natsume-developed cousins: Ninja Warriors and Power Rangers.. I’d say 1 hour-ish if you know what you’re doing. It might take longer otherwise, especially in the later stages.. but still only a couple of hours tops I’d say. I completed it in 3-4 sittings, very casually. It is definitely a pretty solid game; among the best games I’ve played on the SNES/SFC in my opinion.. but it’s short and it’s starting to get more expensive.

Dezaemon came in the mail today along with Gundam Wing: Endless Duel. About Dezaemon, I have no idea why fan translated version even exists.. the game is 99% in English. The only Japanese is on the submenu, on the buttons you need to click to enter the ”stage music edit mode” or the “sprite drawing mode”, etc. There is even an image on the button, right under the Japanese text, giving you a pretty clear idea what the words on the button means. I highly recommend it. I paid $15 canadian for a mint cart only copy, shipping included.. so you can probably get it for around $10 USD haha!

I found this image on the hardcoregaming101 site showing exactly what I mean:

I guess it will happen before that point.. I can’t imagine these games keeping on increasing in value for the next 50 years. The object itself will deteriorate before that. Same with CDs.. it’s hard to say how long they will last, the physical object, I mean.
