Sorry, mi english is very bad
Wat I was trying to say is if the game is playable for non japanese speakers like super metroid or platformers.

Yeah, I think so. There's not much to the story.
Here's a question for you guys. Not directly collecting related but I thought I'd give it a shot.
My SNES is acting up and this is bumming me out. When I turn it on cold the image is garbled. After 30 seconds or so the image stabilizes, but there's severe ghosting. Does it need cleaning? A capacitor replacement? Do I need a new control deck?
Tried all the obvious fixes. Used several different A/V adapters, replaced the frayed power cable with an official Nintendo one. Still persists. I cleaned as best I could without opening it up too.

It's the first model. Pretty vital detail I forgot there. Sorry about thatWhat revision is your SNES
I cant say for sure, but thats where id go next since you have already done the obvious stuff.

KiKi KaiKai obtained! Now to wait.
I'm sorry if this has been talked about previously, but do any of you on here have suggestions for what to keep boxed games in for a display? I was looking into shadow boxes but I have no idea if the depth is what it needs to be for a boxed Snes game. I recently acquired the Donkey Kong Country trilogy all sealed and I want to keep it in something more sturdy than the softshell plastic cases. Message me with any suggestions as I don't always have time to check this thread

Question -
I want to sell my SNES collection. I need to take stock but basically it is a functioning SNES and about 30 games. Most cart only, a couple of boxes here and there.
I dont think I have any really rare games, but it would make a great starter for someone who wants to get into SNES games who maybe never played before or who want to get into collecitng and dont mind cart only.
how would you recommend I sell it? Should I sell it as one collection or shoudl I break it up and sell games separately etc? If I kept it together what would be a reasonable asking price? Obviously it depends on the games but lets imagine i have games like SMW, SFII, SSFII, Actraiser, mario RPG, Killer Instinct, FZero, etc.
Should I try ebay, craigslist or maybe GAF buy sell trade?

It will take a little more time, but you'd make more money selling the 'big name' titles separately. Personally with all the fees I wouldn't go the ebay route, you may have better luck with craiglist. With the retro craze nowadays, you'd have no issues getting some decent cash for the really good titles in your collection.
But I should ask, do you 'really' want to sell it? I sold mine off about 10 years ago, with some really solid titles that fetch a pretty penny today. I had sellers remorse literally two days later. I did wind up getting another snes a few years later and a good portion of the games I had before, but it was hard and I paid more for it all than I had sold my collection for previously. And nowadays, finding 'treasures out in the wild' for cheap is more and more unlikely as even the thrift stores are going online and checking out prices.

There's nothing special about the list at all, really.
Aside from StarWing, I'd say Pilotwings is the only decent game on that list, but it's not rare and you can get it cheap elsewhere so I wouldn't spend too much on it. I haven't played Lucky Luke, but it seems like a decent platformer. I probably wouldn't buy it, but if you're a fan of platformers it might be worth a shot.

Piece out the more valuable games for sale separately, then sell the worthless ones as a lot with the console.

Semi-SFC related, but I finally got my hands on one of those Wii SFC classic controllers. I'd wanted one since I first saw them, but I wasn't a Nintendo Club Platinum member at the time so I couldn't get one.
I've only seen them lately for 3,000 or 4,000 yen so finding this one in seemingly new condition was great for only 1,480 yen.

Is there anyone offering to mod Starfox carts with the FX2 chip, making it run abit faster/smoother framerate? Or has anyone played overclocked Star Fox, and if so...is it really that big of a difference?
EDIT: Looking at this, does seem to make a difference.

it's neat, but that guy charges $100 for it and you need to send a donor cart.

As a social experiment, let's monitor Plok values over the next few weeks.

smbu2000, nice pickup. How does it compare to the real deal?

Speaking of Kunio games, definitely check this one out.
I played this on an emulator and had a blast, looking on ebay to buy it and it's going for a reasonable $30. Wish I could understand the story.
Was wondering when a new 16 bit gem video would hit. Never expected Plok.

Picked up Majyuou and Gunman's proof for SFC recently, and I definitely recommend both. Majyuou feels like a simpler, shorter Castlevania without many pickups but with more moves. Gunman's Proof is totally a Link to the Past knockoff with a cowboy kid, but it seems like the puzzles have been entirely replaced by action with guns and bombs. A lot of the background graphics look ripped right out of LTTP. Neither one is an all time great, and the Japanese text tends to scroll very quickly in each, but both are loads of fun.
What a coincidence. Yesterday, my last and final order from Timewalk Games (so bummed they are closing) containing english translated repros of Live A Live, DoReMi Fantasy and Gunman's Proof arrived. Gonna start with GP this weekend! Seems like a nice little ALTTP clone, as you stated.

whoah, first a new Generation-16, now Roo finally does a 16-bit Gems too? feelin' spoiled this week!
I also have this, and bought it a really long time ago. I wonder how my local game store got a shipment of these controllers, lol.
I asked before how they compare with the real controller, and richisawesome answered saying that the feel is different. From my experience, the controller is really mushy. All the buttons and the D-Pad feel that way. Didn't really like it that much when I tried it.

Thanks for your feedback and I appreciate your point. Basically I dont really care about having the physical system and games anymore. It just sits in a box, and in fact I no longer even live in the US so unless I took it over to Europe with me I wont ever use it. Also most good games you can get on virtual console or just emulate them (shrugs).

having finally watched it: no, Roo...no. i appreciate the sentiment but reject your deposit.
it's a forgettable platformer like the rest you mentioned. as an SNES fan i appreciate your focus on Sonic as a generic 90's "attitude" platformer alone - after all, who but EAD could do masterful, non-linear level design, right? - but this is one of those case of just cause no one talks about it don't make it a classic. the game has ambition, but it doesn't fully deliver on it, and no amount of buzzwords can change that.
don't get me wrong dude; i dig Decap Attack but i don't argue that future generations should check it out. when a genre is the dominant one, only the cream of the crop should remain for the future to appreciate (including the hidden gems, of course) but Plok wasn't one of those.

thought you caught a ban tho?
Ehhhh yes. And I've had the flu for a week and a half. Either way, ive had many sleepless nights coughing up my insides whilst browsing gaf, banned or not. Just not been able to post, of course. Still kept myself updated with everything whilst logged out though.
My games did arrive yesterday anyhow- Kirby Super Star, Yoshis Island, Super Mario Kart, Panel de Pon and Pilotwings.
They're all the JP versions (text isn't an issue for me with any of them as I know them inside out). Altogether they cost me around £25 including shipping. If I had ordered the PAL or USA copies, I'd be looking at near £70 easily.
Lets hope the console turns up today...as nice as the SFC cart artwork is to look at, it's not enough.

Panel de Pon is such a great puzzle game. Nice buy.

Got some more games on the way today! Link to the Past USA, Donkey Kong 1-3 JP, Metroid and Super Mario All Stars. Again, these were all a fraction of the cost of the standard English price! (apart from LTTP, of course. fuck playing that in Japanese)
I also got a Super Everdrive, as shown below in a shot with a couple of JP games. I've got an SD card full of real-hardware compatible hacks and translations ready to go! Looking forward to giving Parallel Worlds Remodel a decent go - I've never actually got to the part I helped code yet (extra music coding for a couple of later dungeons), which is kinda bad. Eventually, I will!
edit: it's here!
First off, Pilotwings, Kirby and Yoshi work fine. Super Mario Kart and Panel de Pon do not work at all. I'm worrying now that I've got two dud carts. fuck. Anyway...
THIS WIRELESS CONTROLLER IS AMAZING! I can sit at the other side of the room aiming the thing at the ceiling, and it still picks up every button press! It's great to hold, buttons are excellent and there's no lag I can tell of!
Also, this console looks great via my XRGB:

I have Panel de Pon, but I kinda like the aesthetics of Tetris Attack better.

just found out about EVO the search for Eden. Never heard of it before, but it seems like a nice concept, is it worth hunting down?
