I haven't got my copies yet lol.
I've said this before but Joytech switchers are premium quality but not super expensive. Many people also use those Bandridge boxes and there's way more supply than Joytechs.
Good luck finding one, though. Also, I wouldn't bet on fair prices anymore, at this point.

I had a search set up for these on eBay for months but not a single one ever turned up. Only a couple of loose remotes here and there. I deleted the search.
Just go manual Bandrige switch.
As I said it's super cheap and very reliable (the audio out is garbage though, be warned, it's fine through the scart TV out though, which is where I picked it up with a splitter).
You can have a 13 units Daisy chained for about 50 euros. Hard to beat that price.

Krikzz has done it every year for at least the past 3 years, so it's definitely not a one-off thing.
Ok, nice. Now to decide if I can wait 4 months... (probably not)

jackal is such an underrated game
yeah that 5 input one seems more likely, shame it's hard to find. i know it makes more sense but i'm absolutely not daisy chaining stuff i (sometimes) paid out the ass to RGB mod, you know?
this is really cool, i did the $10 HG101 patreon this month to get their full collection of books in PDF, looking forward to reading that one
strongly agreed! one of the best remakes ive played in forever, this game needs more love. can't wait for the LRG one.
what was it for though

Valis II for the X68000.
It's not even a great game but I love the series and I'm a sucker for big X68000 games. I've been looking for it for a few years on ebay, yahoo auctions and in Japan but it almost never comes up for a decent price. The price I paid wasn't decent but it was a lot closer to decent than I've seen it before.
By the way, I joined the insta club but I don't get it. I have to use my phone and it resizes things to a small resolution. I guess I'm too old school.

welcome to the club!
I already own so many switch games! (not counting digital)

Switch is good. Can't wait for Splatoon.
lol, everyone is buying a Switch in retro-gaf...I bought a Wii a couple days ago; waiting for it to get here. I picked up Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario, and Zelda TP yesterday. I'm going to wait on Switch until there are more games, being a late adopter is my gaming strategy now.

Wii is awesome. Don't sleep on Sin & Punishment 2!
Wii has one of the best libraries of any system.
Looks good, I'll check it out, thanks! I hadn't heard of it before.
My main focus will be on first party Nintendo games starting out. I haven't played a single first party console Nintendo game since SNES. So yeah, I have a lot to catch up on!
idk, for my tastes I haven't run into a lot of exclusives/best-versions on Wii. A lot of the critically acclaimed games are duds for me. Super Mario Galaxy, Xenoblade, the two Zelda games, No More Heroes, Metroid Prime 3, the Kirby games, and MadWorld, for example.
My favorite game on the platform is probably Sin and Punishment. The Rhythm Tengoku game is pretty cool, too, as are New Super Mario Bros, Kororinpa, and the Konami M2 Rebirth games. And there are a chunk of games that I haven't tried yet and would like to: the Fire Emblem game, Zangeki no Reginleiv, Punch-Out, Super Mario Galaxy 2 (I'm told it's more up my alley than the original), and DKCR are the most immediate.
I'm open to hearing what I may have overlooked though. I'm generally into Japanese action games but am open to pretty much anything but traditional JRPGs.
I could see you getting a ton of use out of VC, then. Flex that 240p if you can.

There's some great titles that are still Wii exclusive that are well worth having the system for: the Trauma Centre series, for example (Though some of them are on DS). Zac & Wiki is another phenomenal game that thankfully people have finally woken up to: it reminds me a lot of the "Gobliiins" series of games on PC, if anyone remembers those.
Super Paper Mario is awesome too. It doesn't get as much love as most other Nintendo first party Wii games, but my wife and I had a BLAST playing it when it released.

Now is definitely the time to buy up cheap Wii games before the price jump cycle begins.

I recall there being a small slew of quality exclusive Wii games, but I recall the library being chock full of shovelware, party games, and frequently the worst version of any multi-console ports.
I think it's very obvious at this stage of their existence, Nintendo was almost entirely focused on the DS, which has a way better library in my opinion.
I sold my Switch and don't have any intention of getting another anytime soon, Switch tax/port machine and all. Arms is the only big exclusive right now, right?
I'm just not a massive fan of Nintendo's efforts lately. Getting a lot of mileage out of my SNES, though!

Trying to find a Squeak Squad and came across this listing. Hahahah.

It makes me upset whenever I see a game that came with a plastic box not have the box any more. I can understand cardboard boxes from Nintendo consoles getting damaged over time but things like SMS, Genesis, DS, etc really bothers me. Don't even get me started on horrible condition carts.

I wonder what was keeping it from ever being re-released before.
Xenoblade, Mario Galaxies, Skyward Sword (which IS a good game for the record), Punchout, DKCR, Wario Ware smooth moves, Sin and Punishment 2, NSMBW, and Wii Sports Resort were all awesome.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Wii had some pretty damn good stuff. Even third parties were churning out some excellent games, despite the not so great sales figures they saw on the system.
Betas me, I always thought it should had come out earlier. I know it's one of the last Neo Geo games and all, but still.

I remember really enjoying MadWorld, SSB Brawl, No More Heroes and Muramasa. SMG was pretty good, too. Got a lot of mileage out of Wii Sports, for what it was, as well.
I certainly played new super Mario Bros, but that game isn't memorable at all for me. Also, I gave Xenoblade a shot, but much like any Xeno title that isn't Xenogears, it didnt do it for me.

No one believed they would become valuable and Genesis/SMS boxes took a lot of space.
It does actually!
I was always the kid who would place his toys back in the box when he was done playing with them.

I put all my Saturn games except Shining Force 3 in a CD case.
You didn't keep the cases?
US boxes were so bad, I love the second generation Pal boxes the most (very close to the original megadrive/master system boxes)

All my games (but SF3) ended up getting stolen anyway but nope I'm pretty sure I got rid of the cases.

Savage Regime did the entire Megaman X soundtrack on the YM2612 ( Sega MD/Genesis)
Sounds phenomenal and this guy really deserves more subs!

I am just as much a fan of so-called "messy" game rooms. Those that are not meticulously staged but just always working and changing as the owner's whims. Typically, my gaming space looks like below. Please share your practical retro game spaces.
Yes Boss! hoarding those wii u gamepads =P
