teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Interesting. I thought the Retron 5 couldn't play games when they where attached to something else like the 32X or Super Gameboy. I guess they updated it to let you do more with it.



FYI GameStop is selling these at $100 where most other places sell it for $140-160.

I don't have one yet. Might get one from GameStop.

Or continue my search for a used one at like $50.

At 100.00 it seems reasonable, does it have any video/audio output options other than HDMI?

I think it is only HDMI. Which oddly makes it less appealing to me.

There's nothing odd about it.

Haven't purchased much games lately, just waiting for Street Fighter V, but i did get this late Xmas/Bday gift. Only 1000 of these were made.

Ok. But what is it?  Or should I say who is it a depiction of?

It is a statue for the game Bloodborne

I'd only be interested if there was an update that lets you play roms from the SD and the price was less than $50.

Though it doesn't quite meet your price point, if you might as well just use an ouya and wii controller adapters to do that.

Found this today at an estate sale.

Beeshuuuuuu!

I've got a Zoom controller from them and that thing looks ridiculous, but they did some decent peripherals. 


What's the Nintendo Power paperwork and letter about?

Apparently, the person had written to them and asked a question to which they responded by sending a catalog of game paks. There are also a couple of old kiosk brochures too. Pretty cool really.

Found an FDS w/Ram Adapter unit at a decent price.

Apparently these also work on some (most?) Famiclones.

Busy with some testing now.

Yesterday night,


This

And was given this along with it









So now not only am I not only getting an excellent source of 90's animation and art, but also glimpses into the fighting styles, fantasy literature, and education. Did you know in the 90's there were 9 planets? And they had a dinosaur species called the Brontosaurus?

My 8 Bit Music Power cart came in finally! It's a really rad music compilation on a real famicom cart. There's 11 tracks with awesome visual, mini games and you can play with the different sound channels. It sold out already so glad I preordered! Right now my kids are playing with it and wont change the song from the one I like lol

I want to say someone posted about this before. Interesting. Any video of it inaction?

Will there be a second bath for pre order?

I think it was limited to 1000 copies but there's a bunch on ebay (for more).

HDMI only, but I have one of those cheap downscaler converters (HDMI2AV). Somewhat surprisingly, it works fine with it when tested on my old composite-only CRT TV.

Have you ever checked out the home brew Study Hall on the nes? Has a bunch of 80's tracks on it.
