Nice work Mark - I see you still havent picked up that porno Mahjong title - Presuming it's still a stratospheric amount of yen?

Oh, you mean the Osama game. Nah, they still want way over the odds for that. Every shop wants at least 3500 yen

Great stuff Yakumo! I like the 3 DC taikenban games, I always want them but end up putting them of to buy something else instead. ^_^

Yeah, I know what you mean. I normally don't buy them either because they always go for silly money. I was pretty lucky on the ones I got this time. What was funny though is that I thought I already owned Zombie Revenge so I went looking for it to test against the sample because that runs in a strange screen resolution. It turned out that I never had the full game so I had to go and buy that too.

A few scrolling beat em ups i recieved from eBay this morning

Batman Returns (Only cost 1.99 )
Ninja Warriors (bit expensive for unboxed...about 12.99, although i've seen it cost alot more...especially complete, but its a good game and i thought it's worth the money )
X-Men (2.99, crap game but it was cheap so thought might as well.)

On a side note, i love those little plastic dust covers the american games had. Shame the other regions didn't have them as well...

Yeah, I like them too but just a shame that the US boxes, carts and actual system all look like ****

Got this today - Nosferatu 100% mint for the fantastic price of only 980 yen! I couldn't believe my luck finding this one in such condition. It was a game that I had always wanted on the SFC but since it was delayed time and time again I had moved on to something else by the time it was released.

NinjaWarriors Again is really excellent and that Xmen game is actually really good imo. It's pretty much the only Xmen lincensed effort besides the Cacpom fighters that's fun. Basically, if it says Capcom on it, it's not ****.

LOL! I woulda probably agreed a couple of years ago, but i'm so used to the US stuff now it doesn't bother me so much

Nosferatu looks pretty good, great price it seems you got it for too!
Need to get around to going Japan one of these days, my friends keep coming back from there and telling me about the wall to wall of sfc games they have in shops...

Yeah, Ninja Warriors is always been one of those games i meant to have priority to get...Always so expensive though, but glad i finally got around to buying it.

I'm not sure about Xmen though, it just doesn't seem well designed to me...I don't like games where they force you to use a character you don't want to choose as well...
I'll give it some more play time later i guess.

Also Pinocchio (sp?) has capcom on it but that game sucks too. lol :P

[kevkev]

Few things this week. Saturn Super Magazine 1 to 11 plus the special all complete with CDs.


2 more SFC games. All nippon GT Senshuken which is a very cool rally racer quite like the visco (I think) made one for the Neo Geo. Also G.S. Mikami which is a right bitch to come by with a box. THere's been a few on Yahoo and in local shops but they never have the box or instructions! I'm so happy I've finally managed to track down a complete copy.

Oh man, I would love to get some more Japanese magazines, but the shipping might kill me. I only have a couple right now. A Saturn Fan I believe, and a Dreamcast magazine. Not sure where they are.
