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

There are a few Gundam games aswell as Super Robot Taisen 2nd that have been made to 'famicom minis'. They all look quite similar but are actually totally different games, and if you have seen something different to me, even still now with this in mind. Then I'd appreciate it if you could provide the links to where you think you've seen the SRW famicom mini game as I'd be on it like a shot. Cheers.

I'm confused lol. Which one do you want..this one?

I've been looking through a third party bidder page called moj or something, so they must have a limited selection of what they show or something. Even the famicom mini specific page it hasn't been there. I must have been looking in the wrong place or that place I was using had a different link to famicom mini stuff. Its no wonder I've never seen it if thats the case.

Mind you its still way too expensive for me. They are wanting over £100 and I've got too many other things to buy for that price at the moment. I'm moving house for one, so I'm stumped for a good while yet. Plus I've already got the game for the PS1 twice.

He still linked two completely different games though, so its no wonder confusion has ensued. I'll have to save up to get it though anyway. Ignorance is bliss though.

New copies of it seem to go for about 20,000 yen so yeah the one I linked is a tad pricey. As Juste says, that and Mini Hot Scramble are up all the time. There's a used Hot up right now for 10,000.

So slightly OT but how many famicom minis are there? The regular 30, Hot Scramble, the one above. Any more or 32 is the set?

32 is the full set.

Club nintendo only had 2 contests to win extra famicom mini games & they were both gundam games that were up for grabs. Both times you needed to register a code from a certain game to be entered into the prize draw.

I just linked to the second game because it was a present too. I thought you would like it though because it was a Gundam one. There are only two 'not for sale' Famicom Mini games. I just linked to the page for the first one because it had the correct number for the game (the 'not for sale' version). I have not seen them sell for more than 20000 yen, even new ones. And just like Wheelaa says they are up all the time so I don't think they are as rare as you point out.

[AdamJW]

Never mind about going off topic its just getting things clear relating to collecting and its probably because I'm a bleary eyed fan boy that I believed it to uber rare. Never mind though eh. You learn something new everyday and it seems its just another one of those thats just more expensive than it is rare. Too Expensive for me.

I better get my pennies saved if I want that game though. Even at 20000yen + commision for the third party its going to make it high enough $200 nearly, maybe more with delivery. Which goes back to my original point that I would save myself money by just re-buying a famicom and picking up the original for a fiver off JGS.

Which takes even more point out of it because I already have the much better 'to play' remake version anyway. I'd still save alot of money doing it that way. I could perhaps do with a lottery win in the meantime as I'm not made of money. Maybe when I go back to work. I do have more immediate priorities than paying $200 for a single game. Saving for a PS3 being one of them and getting the bond together for a house being another.

ooh, a boxed Japanese 3 button MD pad. I've never seen one of them in this area. 6 button, yes but three button...

...and welcome to the wonderful world of Wonderswan Tetris, Bort. I think it's one of the best versions out there.

[NeoStuey]

Nice haul Bort.

Puyo Puyo and Virtua Cop would be my own personal picks out of those.

[Bort]

A reasonably priced haul. Just need a JPN saturn for Virtua cop and learn to speak Japanese for seaman .

Cont box is rough but can be sorted out by flattening it with some dictionaries.

Tetris is really nice gordon, exploding tetrimo lines just makes me feel manly. Need to buy one of WS headphones and cut it into a two phono lead. The music and meaty sound effects need to be heard in stereo and have some bass added to them.

Finally got around to adding to my PC Engine collection with these two pick ups from eBay.





Got a couple more titles on the way as well.

Interesting repro Earthbound box there...

Yeah - came as a freebie - they're the US display boxes sent to retailers. Slighty poorer quality print, and they're obviously not the original big box that the US Earthbounds came in...still, nice though
