Is that the actual SMB2 cart you received? Looks kinda like a boot in the picture.

Looks legit to me.

I think he's talking about the pictured GBA game, which is a bootleg.

Mario 2 looks legit but that super mario world gba cart is a bootleg, just look at the ESRB logo.

The funny thing is that attitude is kinda mutual: our malls/outlets are filled with Japanese flippers who refurnish unbranded luxury resale shops in their homeland.

They just maintain themselves by buying Ferragamo or Gucci's stuff and shipping boxes in Japan or carrying suitcases full of wallets/bags/shoes taking advantage of tax-free exemption (12% off), evading import duties, of course, because they don't declare it to the borders.
Is a little bit risky but organized as a true parallel network.

LOL - I actually know a Japanese couple who buy brand shoes here in Germany and ship them to Japan.

I wonder though wether we have less shoes now for higher prices like the games in Japan

Not to mention the Nintendo logo looks like a 3rd grader drew it in MS Paint.

Yeah Mario World looks like a period fake, meaning it was faked right around the time the game came out. Thankfully Double Dragon Advance looks real and that is a much rarer game.

 

[snes_collector]

Yeah, sorry I didn't clarity on the SMB 2, I was indeed talking about the GBA one. The Double Dragon Advance does look real.

My most recent purchase (and the reason that I'm going to start posting here instead of just lurking like I have been) is the NeoGeo MVS I got Saturday. I'm a regular on the Racketboy forums, and one of my buddies over there sold him an MVS he had in a storage unit. It needs a little work - the monitor needs some repair at some point, and I had to buy a board for it - but I finally have a REAL MVS instead of using a converter on my AES.

Did all of us buy swancrystals in the last few days?

ahahaha i think so - mine turned out to be NOS which was a nice surprise.

So funny, I was looking to pick up a swan crystal in the past month. I still have a spare copy of Makaimura that I want to check out on a decent screen.

The two gameboy games just showed up in the mail, picked up sm2, the ultimate warrior and the Mike Tyson bead art at a local comic and toy show yesterday.

nice i need that double dragon.

That game seriously needs a Crystal screen. I don't know how it was on a B&W Wonderswan, but it's unplayable on the Color. On the Crystal, it's nice.

 

[WNivek]

I was pleasantly surprised by the cosmetic condition of that SamSho - it's easily the clearest clear-shell I've seen so far. Compared to my others, it almost looks like glass.

Meanwhile: Between the torn and browning label and a solvent splotch on the back, the MS3 kinda looks like it's been through a warzone... which is rather appropriate, considering the game in question.

PAL CD32:

how do you like that power brick?

 

[Yodd]

how do you like that power brick?

Since this is a Euro PAL machine, the PSU is a 50HZ, 240v only model. No use for me.

I am building a replacement, slimline PSU for it that has a higher current rating.

Yep, I have the same console.

That sucker takes 5v and 12v

Yup.

Unlike the wedge desktop computers which also need -12v for audio and serial ports.


I am using this as my replacement PSU:

Picked up a Pokémon Snap Station from a local friend today. It's in really nice condition and it came with a box of printer paper, about 250 print cards and some "Not For Resale" games.

 

[famicommander]

Oh my god that is fantastic. They had one of those at the Blockbuster nearest to us when I was a kid (~9 years old when it released). I love Pokemon Snap. It's actually in my N64 right now.

 

[madman]

Awesome scoop, would make a great addition once we get the N64 sub-forum here.

 

[mjmjr25]

That's pretty cool, a nice novelty for sure. My kids really like that game. So, how does the printer work? Do you snap pics of pokemon and can then print them out?
