Awesome Game Boy ports we'll never see made |
 Photoshop users over at Pixelation forums have come up with a contest to do an 8bit version of a current-gen game. The results are some of the best looking Game Boy inspired art i've ever seen. Check out some of them below: Odin Sphere! God I wished there was a version of this for the Game Boy! ICO One of my favorite games of all time, Game Boy-ized! Bioshock Okami I'm sure Capcom would still love for you to buy more Okami so they could make a sequel  Halo 3 Resident Evil 4 World of Warcraft? This one i'm not so sure about this one. Burnout Revenge |

Sealed Gameboy games on the rise |
 GB/GBC games had long been out of print. There were times when I wished I should have picked up a few games and kept them either to collect or as sealed. But back then I never really cared about collecting, I was more into playing them and when i'm done, its either traded, sold on ebay or forgotten or lost. I remember going to The Record Exchange and seeing Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel for $14.99 used, complete, and in mint condition. I figured, i'd play it one day but not right now and $15 was too steep for my cheap-ass. So I come back the next visit, it wasn't there anymore. Before MGS4 came out, alot of MGS stuff were higher than their normal price. I saw one complete copy of Ghost Babel sold for $270+ (now they don't even sell for $50  ). I couldn't believe it. It's very rare to find it complete and in mint condition. As soon as I saw that, I started to pay more... |

 I've seen alot of Japanese Saturn games back in the day. But I have never seen anything in this volume. Hes got around 1150 games in this lot. Including sealed games as well. He's even got a sealed copy of Raidiant Silvergun! Sealed copies of that game goes for around $400-$500. I even remember last winter when Play-Asia had 1 sealed copy going for $500.  See for yourself. |

Gamecube & GBA sales still (kinda) strong |
 I guess theres still alot of Gamecubes and Gameboy Advance systems out there. According to Kotaku, "While nobody in Japan, Europe, Asia or Australia bought a new GameCube between April and June, somewhere, somehow, 40,000 Americans did. As for the GBA, well, none were sold in the US, but globally, 180,000 of them found new homes. 180,000!". INSANE! I still see alot of Gamecubes at Wal-Marts and indie stores. And Sears recently just put their last stocks of Gamecubes on clearance just this past few months. And finally those Metroid Prime bundles went on sale for about $19.97. I was able to purchase the Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Party 7 bundles earlier last year. But as far as the original GBA, i haven't seen any of those for awhile. Except for maybe VideoGamesNewYork in NYC. I mean even the GBA SP's are getting harder to track. A few Game Crazy's i've |
