teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Nice Dan! I have not played that one, though I was given a ps2 copy by a friend years back and got it for free on android, I am still considering grabbing this to play it. 3DS is my RPG machine right now for sure. If I weren't in the thick of Bravely Default I'd probably jump on that! I'll be excited to hear how you like it

It's my single favorite game on PS2. But yeah, don't play the Android version it runs slow and choppy

It's sad to say I've spent the most time on the Android version. I was assuming it was my device causing it to run like garbage, but I got far enough in that I knew I wanted to play the game. Lofty position in the ranks of PS2 for you surprises me knowing little about your ps2 preferences, but makes me want to play it even more.

I don't quite like it as much as Dan but it's a fantastic traditional JRPG that is well worth the time of any fan of the genre.

Put a whole bunch of extra games with that hack on the NES Classic.
So since I was spending quite some time playing those, I figured I may as well get me one of these.


Feels good in the hands. No noticeable lag.

Ah, you got the classic, I bought their SNES pad a while ago.

Yeah, great stuff and if you can boot it to keyboard mode, it'll work with most PC games (if keyboard keys can be configured) as opposed to being booted to USB joystick mode which is the default. Very, very close to the weight and feel of an original SNES pad! A solid knock-off!

Cons: The battery is cheap, lasts ~24 hours. However, there's plenty of room to buy a better quality, higher milliamp 5V replacement so it can last longer. Sucks they cheaped out in that area. I can only speak for the SNES version of course, but yeah...

I've tried a few other wireless pads with that receiver. They work. So that's nice.

As well, I had an idea (just the other day I picked up one of those SNES Classic controllers. It's still in its wrapping) that I may be able to use that SNES Classic pad wirelessly via that receiver, syncing via a Wiimote. That works as well.

Can you map "Y" to "B" and "B to "A" for use on the NES Classic? Otherwise I would find this controller to be a whole lot of awkward when trying to play games where you want to use quick button presses between B and A  or holding down the B button while hitting the A button (example: Mario run/jump).

Side note: I don't understand why all these companies are making new NES controllers and can't just put the B and A buttons side by side. They insist on putting the buttons at an angle (and the wrong angle no less). The Nyko NES Classic and Retro-Bit Capcom controllers come to mind

I've been wanting to pick up a copy of Nexr for a while, but whenever I see one, the price is $180 and up usually....if you do find one less than that, its in very piss poor shape.  When PCEWorks announced this new set, I jumped on it.  I wasn't expecting it to include the Summer Carnival 93' as the second disc so that was a nice surprise.  Same with the repro of Dungeon Master that came with the set.  I will say, the quality here on everything is top notch.  I've always been impressed with the quality that PCEWorks put out and it shines with everything I've ever purchased from them.

Can someone explain the whole Steam Hearts story line to me?  Wasn't expecting the story board artwork to be so.....um......yeah.....

Hey you got the same fate stay vita game I did yesterday. Cool. I got it because it seemed like a fun dynasty warriors clone and seems to work on the ps tv.


I really just need to mod the extra ps tv I have with that software which allows you to play 90% of vita games on it.

You can, there is a remapping tool. You need to make sure you've updated the firmware as well. If not, the remapping won't be saved after turning off the controller.

Good ole Tobiass, didn't know he went for Summer Carnival '93. I own an original I got used from a gaming mag. It's a nice shooter with decent CD soundtrack, though I think it's a bit too short.

I think that horse has been beaten to death and back.

back on topic -
I picked up Street Fighter III Third Strike via the PSN flash sale.
makes me happy
