I fired up the original Japanese N64 psu via a step-down which I still miraculously had for some reason.... It worked fine. So luckily my UK psu purchase will be worthwhile.

That pink GBA SP I posted the other day got sent back. The shoulder buttons didn't work and the battery cover was bulging out. So I bought another but this time from Gameboy Shack and he did me a custome one to order. Got it in orange to kind of go with my orange Cube. The build quality is lovely. Really good quality case and the buttons are much quieter than the pink one. Also grabbed a couple of games from him. Shiren was cheap which is good because I assume it will be incomprehensible in Japanese and I loved Crazy Castle as a kid.

Another parcel arrived today. Not strictly retro but old games on a new console, and I don’t play nearly enough modern games to bother posting on any other board here so this is my only home:
I just want to ask to those living in Japan: is the price of physical formats really high in Japan or are us foreigners just being scalped a lot by Japanese sellers? This little lot cost me almost £170 off eBay and I had to shop around a bit to get them that cheap. I’ve seen games like FF-X/X2 and ESP RaDe going for £90+ with some sellers.
And yes, I know I could’ve got the Western release of FF-X/X2 for much less but a) it doesn’t have both games on the cart so requires a download, thus defeating the purpose of having a physical copy, and b) who can’t love the classic cover art of the Japanese version?

Switch games are just generally expensive anyway, even in the UK etc. Nice haul of games though, am I right in saying Clannad and FFX/X-2 both include English language too?
Originally posted by YakumoSame thing. Often titles on other platforms get reduced on release or drop in price after a while. This isn't really the case with games on Nintendo platforms. Sorry to say but its due to the kids market. They have parents who will pay the price to keep their kids happy.
Those bloody Esp.Ra.De and classic erotic visual novel loving kids, ruining it for all of us!
