I couldnt care less for Star Fox myself. But a mini console with FF VI, SMRPG, Link to the Past, and Super Metroid? Absolutely yes please!

The UK version already sold out?! Damn, that was fast.

Anybody have any experience of importing stuff from Mexico?  Anybody live in Mexico and willing to buy something and ship it to me for monies?

It's been said to me that what I'm asking might be construed as shady.  I'm looking to import a video game from Mexico.

Too bad foxhack isn't around the site anymore.

Try this guy doafan: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=11319. I thought he was from Mexico.

Does anyone have a converter box from component input to hdmi output that they would recommend? I don't think I need it to upscale to 720/1080p just covert the signal over. I am specifically trying to record ps2/xbox games and my capture card only has an hdmi input/output.

bonus points if It can also convert coax to hdmi.

Just busted the crap out of my phone's screen. Pretty bummed about it, wasn't a contract phone or anything it was mine. Now I have to buy a cheap crappy replacement screen that will never be as good as OEM. All my fault for never picking up a protective case in six months.

The Trial of the Sword in the Zelda: BotW DLC is freaking hard as hell!!!

I beat the beginning trials. And I'm now on the middle trials. I've done it so many times. I made it to the end (or I think it's the end) of the middle trials, where you fight a Hinox in the dark, but died during that battle. (BTW, for those that haven't done it, you lose all of your equipment before starting!)

Has anyone here beaten all 3 sections of The Trial of the Sword yet?

Beginning trials took me a few tries.  Middle trials I did on my first try.  (That Hinox is not the end, you are at the half way point.  The end is a Major Test of Strength Guardian)

Final trials I've only made it maybe 3 or 4 levels in.  The weather was really fucking me up.

You don't "lose" your equipment, they just take it away for the Trial like that Island Survival Trial.

I stopped working on the trials and went and upgraded my outfits.  I spent most of the weekend just farming for materials to upgrade my outfits.  I'm sitting on about 50 Korok seeds so I'm gonna go upgrade stuff with Hestu and maybe give it a go a few more times.

[burningdoom]

Well yeah, I didn't mean they took your items forever.

[ignition365]

Regardless, I've been shaking off the rust having not played since April, the farming is helping me get back to where I need to be skill wise and then I should be able to hop back into the Trial for the Final run... Then I will start Master Mode.

I've been using an attack boost before entering The Trial. Maybe a defense boost, instead?

Ah, boosts and effects carry over to the trial.  That's cool.  I don't know what's the longest effect that can be made, but I find that even 5 minutes isn't really enough to help.  I'd definitely go with defense over attack.  I never have trouble having enough weapons to do damage, I have the trouble that 2 hits kills you even at max hearts... Actually it probably doesn't help that I was going into the final trials with half health.  I didn't heal after the first trial or the second trial.
