I now own every Mario Kart game ever made. Soon i'll try to beat all of them on original hardware and rank them. I got super circuit GBA, 7 and SMK today.

Also why is Mortal Kombat known as MK when Mario Kart is far more popular?  MK64 looks right.

[marvelvscapcom2]

I wanted to put ya'll on game with this thing I found.  To any N64 fanatic here. If you havent tried the Hyperkin Captain 3rd patry controller. I was seriously shocked with the build quality.

The joystick rebounds like a gamecube or ps2 controller. Perhaps better. Feels springy and has rubber grip for comfort. It's smooth as silk which is the biggest upgrade over the OEM. But it also has a more clicky, nice feeling on all the face buttons.  It's basically if the N64 released in PS2 or PS3 gen.  In a world of 13 to 15 dollar 3rd party controllers. 19.99 shipped is nice.  And let it be known that the controller comes in gorgeous jungle green and funtastic blue colors.  All the buttons feel modern. And the color is pinpoint accurate to my funtastic console.

Some of these are sky rocketing to above 40 dollars for the gold. And 25 for black.  Or are out of stock. 


Currently on amazon grey, blue and jungle green are 19.99.   The controller is perfection and I loved it so much I bought a 2nd today. If I wasnt trying to budget id buy 4.

It has ports for rumble packs still. And even the dongle that attatches to the console is color correct unlike other cheaper 3rd party controllers that go grey regardless.


If You want to preserve your OEM stick or improve it without expensive mods. Get while the getting is good

REVIEWS OF ODDITIES


Hello. I wanted to give a brief review formally for some of my ultimate controllers that I happen to own.  Keep in mind these are not run of the mill stuff.  Specialty hardware here.  Some are unreleased governmental experiments. Think "not for resale" but remove the Re.


THE JIGGLENATOR 9000




The Jigglenator 9000 is master class in wiggle to the jiggle technology. It has cake. It has the SQUISH. It contours to the hand perhaps better than my dualsense 5 which is good for long play sessions. No matter how much you caress the controller. It always rebounds back to shape which is proprietary I believe.  It also has a dedicated hoop tab at the bottom for stringing the controller up.  A unique feature to this controller. It can be used as a stress ball.  Green joysticks pop out the otherwise traditional PS2 clone black shade.   It somehow can survive 10 foot drops consistently. Made out of Gorilla skin and Gorilla glue.


The Bubble Bopper 5




Now I shouldn't even really be showing this off solely because I already know you guys will call it fake.  It is 1 of 1. Perhaps alien tech. And the rarest of my collection. My niece found it under the briefcase containing coordinates that said "DB Cooper is the moon. A hollagram like you and me" she left behind the plutonium chips but kept the bubble bopper 5. It has more buttons than a atari 7200 and has a spring loaded back panel. I believe it is derived from the hardware of a soviet missle launcher and has been reprogrammed to play 1 game which also never seen physical release called the "push game"   tik tok shop sells it on rom but initially it was an indonesian survival horror game where you must push the boppers fast enough or the unit would cling to your face and kill you.  It comes pre installed. It is now cute and has grown reindeer antlers atop.  Strange and forbidden design.  Worth about 12 Million Iraqi Dinar.


The Fisher Price Filopian[/b




Yeah it's pretty much Elmo's gaming peripheral.  He used to beat Big Bird in Mario Kart using this bad boy.  What is fascianting about it is that it has triangle shape for the button instead of a circlualr button with a triangle logo.  Like what type of innovative, philosophical logic is required to perform the Einstein level reasoning to adapt mere plastic to behave this way? How did noone think of a star shaped button? It's cosmic. Massively orgasmic.  And most likely bends the space time continuum at it's whim. So i'll try not to break it or let the batteries die so the fabric of the universe keeps unraveling.   



Just some of my many oddities.

Hey guys, just poking around, seeing how things are. I still use the website, but stopped hitting the forums because frankly, they kind of died. I hope there's a little more activity now. You might see a few new posts from me around here.

And BTW, check out my Stargate post in the off topic forum if you were ever a fan. What Amazon did is heartbreaking.

I exported my collection to CSV/import to spreadsheet and removed digital games, Sega items, computers, baseball games, Japanese PS2, etc and left with 1,708 rows. I sent this spreadsheet to a buyer to get an offer.

lack of interest or just cleaning up fodder?

What's your interest in holding onto JP PlayStation 2 games specifically, as opposed to JP PlayStation?

Going through your collection with this in mind, I was surprised that you owned so many baseball titles.

Pretty sure he wanted to get rid off jap ps2 and keep jap ps1 if I'm going by that line of text

jap ps1 is easier to play on og hardware and has better stuff so not a bad choice I'd say.

[tripredacus]

No its right, keep Japanese PS2 stuff. I mean some PS1 games were taken off, there was like 500 or so items that I took out that didn't fit into the categories I typed. It is just that I consider myself fortunate to have a fully working Japanese PS2 that is boxed and I prefer to keep it. It is also currently the DVD player for my Trinitron. My US PS2 has trouble reading discs sometimes.

It’s finally happened. One of the biggest games ever will be download only.
Physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI will ne a code in a box. No disc.
It’s been coming, but this is the official end of physical games.
 

[dhaabi]

Spending $80 for the opportunity to have the game's license revoked someday sure is a decision many fans will wholeheartedly take, all because it's Grand Theft Auto and it's apparently the exception.

[Cartagia]

There's apparently a lot of people pissed about how much stuff is locked behind the ultimate edition, so it's not all going down easy.

I've seen a few outlets making it a point to say there will be no physical version "at launch."  Maybe it's copium, but this is what we saw with Alan Wake II as well.

[marvelvscapcom2]

I'm not at all surprised but am deeply disappointed. They couldn't just give us a prideful gentlemens launch of 69.99 physical. 80 deluxe. 100 ultimate. I feel this is going to hurt their ROI. Weather they shatter records or not. I know they would have sold more units with a more purist approach. And ultimately If I was rockstar id be thinking. Get this thing to as many people as possible and beat them to death with shark cards later. But they're getting too greedy on top of the greed. And lets be real.  GTA 6 could release a load screen that is infinite that says "fuck our fans" and still be the best selling game of all time. Its kinda like the crown has become to big.  Like why I even release a physical? Like why waste plastic?  For people really terrified of putting their debit cards online?   I mean its pointless. Whos buying it? For Instagram?  Idk man.


Sadly what the Giants Do.  Rockstar and Nintendo. The rest of the jackles will follow like the hyenas in lion king. Physical media is essentially dead.

Yeah modern gaming is cooked. As much as I want to rage against the big corpos that push this nonsense and exploit their customers, it's arguably more the fault of the actual customers for giving into this and trading actual ownership rights for lazy convenience. You will pretty much own nothing and be happy, and I feel like the majority of people are already there and blissfully okay with it. All I know is the way I consume and play modern games going forward is going to rapidly change if they're going to remove my ability to actually own my games if I buy them. I'm so sick of this shit, but I'm just as sick of all the braindead NPCs that just go along with crap like this because "ahh, I gotta play man GTA6 at launch brah!" Fucking sheep.
