For used items, Ebay. For new things, Amazon.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Title Formatting for Japanese Pokémon Stadium Games
« on: July 10, 2020, 11:26:27 pm »
It's pretty common in Japanese graphic design for any product to have a name or title written out in their native language as well as English. The title isn't redundant, it's a kind of styling thing for them. You can find it all over the place. Here's just a few games.
It would get a little ridiculous if a third of all japanese games on the site had their names written out twice.
As for the Pokemon Crystal thing at the bottom of the Stadium Kin & Gin logo: I'd argue that's not part of the title. I would say it is somewhat unusual for something like that to be so prominent near or on the primary logo, but it's obvious to me they just wanted to make it clear to the prospective customer that it is indeed compatible with Crystal.

It's a fairly uncommon game. This was the first one I ever ran across in the wild. I'm just irrationally excited about it.

Classic Video Games / Re: What's your Mario kart series tier list
« on: April 12, 2020, 04:57:12 pm »
S: Mario Kart 8/Deluxe
A: Double Dash, Mario Kart DS,
B: Super Circuit, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart Wii
C: Mario Kart 64, Super Mario Kart
D: Mario Kart Arcade GP 1/2
I tried to ignore my nostalgia goggles and be a little more objective. - Otherwise 64 would be on top and Wii on the bottom. LOL. When Wii version first came out i really didn't like it. Now that it's been out for a decade I've had more time reflect on it.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Should pre-installed software be listed?
« on: March 31, 2020, 11:43:58 am »
i agree with ignition365.
To me if it's something that cannot be uninstalled and is part of the OS or firmware than it shouldn't be in the database. It's just a console feature at that point.

Modern Video Games / Re: Does anyone else hate film grain in games? (What do your settings look like?)
« on: September 10, 2019, 03:27:14 pm »
As soon as I get any game I pretty much immediately turn off AO, bloom, motion blur and film grain if there is any. The only game I actually liked with grain, for some reason, was Left 4 Dead 1/2.
