Post everytime you get ANYTHING retro. We want to know (^v^)

What's the second one? It looks (and from the filename) Ikaruga-esque.

[edit]...and please don't tell me it's called Axialpoint. I'll be embarrassed.

Looks like some sort of fan art package

That's right. Fan artwork, not official.

Dunno if anyone is interested but here's an article showing what the original Ikaruga artist is up to. There's a download link as well (low res unfortunately).

Picked up Dobotsu no Mori (Animal Crossing) for N64 too yesterday in Akiba for 3900 yen, looks perfect. I bought too much stuff again last couple of weeks, I am getting tired of making those pics every time hehe. Oh and Perfect Dark N64 for 1500 yen which isn't bad. I got a load of PS2 games for 1000 yen each, like Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest VIII, Minna no Golf 3. Also Dodonpachi for 1500 yen incl spine (Saturn) and Donpachi for 1800 yen incl spine (also Saturn), not too bad eh...? They were selling PS3's again yesterday aswell, but what could I do with 60.000 Yen in a retro shop instead

Nice find alxbly that isnt a cheap one to get hold of even in japan. It seems to hold its value better than other games.

Hope you got it for a great price (^_^)

Btw be careful of the omake data on the memory card. If its new one & the omake data is still on it then you save to it you will lose it. (bit like the gc version)

I think you get a welcome letter & a famicom game from the omake data on the card but my memory is pretty rusty about it.

Thanks Importaku, my Japanese isn't very good and I wasn't even aware of what's on the memory card. Price was not bad: about ?55 including shipping. Last few copies I've seen on ebay.co.uk have went for about ?80-?85... so it was a bargain!

Got a few Mega Drive games today - Golden Axe and Granada. The Granada is to replace my other copy that has a not so minty instruction book so I'll be selling that one for 5 pounds if anyone is interested. Assault Suit Valken 2 on the PlayStation. The first one on the Saturn was fantastic but this may be a bit on the crappy side due to them putting it in to 3D. Time will tell. Finally 2 Saturn games that only cost 99 yen each

Me again :P Bought a few more goodies today while out shopping for customers. Stuff like another real Japanese Mega Drive and yet another scratch free Saturn Sexy Parodius but for myself I got the following.

First up is the 4MBIT set of Saturn Street Fighter Zero 3 for a price that is even cheap for Japan ! Normally this goes for over 50 pounds on Yahoo auctions but guess how much this was? ONLY 17 pounds !!! (Yakumo hears the sound of knives being sharpened). Other stuff include Akiko Hinagata discography set who was a pretty popular singer in the late 90's, Shanghai Dynasty for DC which is a Shogi game, Dejig a digital jigsaw puzzle game and Code R which is an Initial D style racer complete with RPG mode.

The first edition Megadrive 1 doesn't have the Sega copyright screen everytime you turn on the console, right? Also I don't think the RGB video is quite as good on the 2nd MD1 compared to the other ones I've seen.

That would be a much better reason to want the earlier version compared to going on about how it's the only REAL OFFICIAL JP Megadrive here and on your sales page.

Yep, no copyright screen plus the RGB is fantastic I'll change the sales page .

Thats a good price (^_^)

If you have played the gamecube versions of doubutsu no mori then you shouldnt have too much trouble playing it.

The jobs that nook makes you do at the start are the same as the gamecube version. Its pretty weird playing the N64 version & spotting the changes between the 2.

[Akihabara]

It's a Pachinko game!
