General / Re: Amiibo's Exclusivity

« on: June 27, 2017, 10:37:49 pm »

Yeah i think it sucks, but i kind of understand why the print runs are not meeting demand again and being exclusive to some retailers.. i think it's because of how many retailers still have Amiibo from several years ago that nobody is buying now, i.e. Animal crossing and some smash characters, so they're not prepared to order that many beyond a set amount of pre-orders out of fear of being stuck with them. Heck even the original set of botw amiibo didn't exactly sell well except for the few that had a low print run, so ofc people bought them out to scalp them and the rest sold relativly slowly taking months to sell (at least around here)... Sorry you didn't get any of them. :/ Maybe there will be a reprint in the future. I missed the Eb Games exclusive due to being at work during the time they went up....

I'd take this to social media to be honest. What a crappy thing they pulled on you, don't let them win so easily! CALL THEM OUT!

Classic Video Games / Re: Why didn't pong carry over into modern era?

Windjammers got remastered for PS4 recently.

Sure, it was originally a Neo Geo game from 1994, but Pong is still alive in 2017.

That looks fun!

Great game but it's not exactly fair to compare that to something as basic as pong....

Pong would be at best a 99 cent app now, and the game is honestly just plain boring to modern audiences.

General / Re: What are your tips for spotting fakes?

« on: May 16, 2017, 09:54:21 am »

Yeah it'd pretty hard to tell with Ds carts without actually opening them up (which isnt an option). All i would suggest is just looking at the lable and check it's quality as you mention, that and font are normally the biggest tells when looking for a fake DS cart.

Oh also this doesn't work all the time but typically the fakes have trouble being recognize by the systems when you put them in.

I don't see the points in owning a bunch of games i'd probably never even play, i just collect what i find interesting and intend on playing.

General / Re: PS2 Slim vs PS2 Phat Which Your Favorite type?

« on: May 08, 2017, 02:26:00 pm »

The Phat is my favourite revision of the Ps2. I've had nothing but issues with the slim models! i've bought 3 slims and 2 of them has the ribbon cable scratch the discs and the third one died after a about a month of use. I've had my phat model for around 8 years now and played on it with no issues.

General / Re: SNES classic edition or PS1 classic edition?

« on: April 30, 2017, 02:01:37 pm »

It would really depend on which games the systems had pre-loaded onto them... I'd probably lean towards the ps1 overall though as it had many more great games like Spyro, crash, Croc, Tales of, suikoden, frogger, Digimon and much more! The Snes on the other hand has Zelda... chrono trigger and uhm Phalanx?
