Been a while since I posted, so here’s an update. What a wild week it’s been for pickups.
I found some intellivision games locally, in particular some imagic games, which I love the shiny art design of.
They’re in such nice shape, with inserts and manuals, that I ended up contacting the seller about his other intellivision stuff. He has a lot, and after a bit of back and forth I ended up buying his whole collection of them. Every single game is complete, and it’s in extremely good shape.
5 are sealed, plus 2 sealed C64 games, an Intellivision in very nice shape, and a voice module
Overall it’s 56 games!

I was away for a few days in Peterborough (about 70miles away from home) and after not running into a dumped CRT in so very long now and never ever finding a wild SONY Trinitron, look at what I notice on the way back from a walk in the forest:
The front casing is really badly scratched but thankfully due to the nice deep bezel the tube is free of scratches. I try to peek inside a little and seems the tubes neck is intact so decide what the heck I’m going to take this home with me.
And yup it works:
The power button is a bit dodgy and is now stuck “always on” but that should be an easy fix when I get around to cleaning it up.

Picked up a trilogy today, NG III is pretty tough to find! They’re all in very nice condition, especially I and III.

Got a Hori D-pad Joycon from a U.S. seller on Amazon (import-only cobalt blue version, Hori sells them here too but not in solid colors). The D-pad feels really solid and responsive, much better than the somewhat loose D-pad on the Lite. Only drawback of course is that it’s not wireless and it can only be used as a connected portable controller but it will be great for playing 2D games and Indie titles. Just tried it with some SNES games and it feels excellent.

I imported this color too. I really didn’t like the US versions.
I wish Nintendo gave us a 1st party option that was fully featured though. They’re certainly capable of it, but they must not think there would be adequate demand. I know there are a lot of modded versions out there, but it’s not the same as an official product.

Yeah, as far as I can tell the U.S. versions are just the kinda ugly/gaudy Mario character designs and the Zelda themed one. This one looks really nice in my opinion. Agreed it’s annoying Nintendo never made a proper first party D-pad Joycon solution. In any case this works great for portable play which is why I wanted it, plus I’m going on a long trip soon. I also just tested it for awhile on the ACA version of Gradius III and it was very responsive despite the ridiculous difficulty of that game, so….test passed I’d say, ha.
That would be great for flip grip usage
I like the Mario design. It helps me know I am having fun. Or am supposed to be

Sorry if I sounded like “No fun allowed,” to each their own.

Went to the LRG pop-up sale last month and I think I did pretty well. River City Girls was 10% off MSRP and the rest were 50% off MSRP.

Nice! I listened to their podcast where Jared Petty was interviewing people. It sounded like it was popular!

Was Jared Petty there? If so, I completely missed that!
Sorry, my mistake. It was for opening day of the store and not the pop up sale.
