I think a lot of it is also to preserve anonymity. Not all posters want people to know where they are, and so it's safer to say "I found this in my area-YMMV" even if it sounds less credible than "I found this at Best Buy Store #573 at 2:01 p.m. and was checked out by Melissa, here's a scan of...

US VC is at 194 now. I'm expecting we'll hit 200 on January 28th, either with 2 games on the 21st and 4 on the 28th (which is exactly what Nintendo did for the 100th VC game week, adding 4 games when there were 96 up) or 3 games both Mondays, pushing the total to 197 and then 200. If the...

I found a similar lot at a garage sale last summer for $15. No lens, but it had the Game Gear and 12-14 games (can't remember exactly how many) $15 was their asking price and they were firm on it. Garage sales are definitely YMMV (probably about as YMMV as it gets, in fact) but hopefully my...

My best score ever was a complete Arkanoid controller at Salvation Army for $5. My best Goodwill scores are the Game Boy Player for $20 and several penny drop guides from Target at the standard paperback book rate (which fluctuates between 50 and 75 cents--I've scored Tekken 5, San Andreas, and...

Aladdin's Castle still technically exists, but the entire chain was acquired by Namco and so some of them may have had their names changed to Namco Cybertainment or some such. The mall in my area lost the Aladdin's Castle, but managed to acquire a Tilt. I say count it in the thread anyway...

The first game I rented at mine was NARC. I returned it the next day. =P I rented their Solstice cart so many times they might as well have given it to me. And I still never beat the fucking game.

I miss Montgomery Ward because they had the best Master System and NES kiosks ever. They were on big TVs suspended from the ceiling, and you always felt so small before the mighty, uhh, game kiosks. By the time the chain went out, though, the one here didn't even have games at all. I only got...

Look, disappointment about your favorite game not being on the VC is a sentiment I've felt before, but you'll have to excuse me if I'm getting a little tired of it. If it's not this: It's this: Or this: The list of games I'm waiting for is astronomically high. I even went on record as...

I think you've already gotten your wish :) Although you should probably check the official VC thread before making a wishlist. All of the above from the list are already out for the VC in NA. Cybernator came out the week before, and Rolling Thunder 2 was on Christmas Eve's update.

I think I already participated in this, but what the hell. Of what's been posted, I second Pro Wrestling and ZAMN. I also want: NES: Gargoyle's Quest II, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Crystalis, Startropics, Jackal, Little Nemo: The Dream Master, Gradius II SNES: Pilotwings, Super Mario...

I believe you're referring to Police 911. There were actually two of those games, to my knowledge, and the second one had epic Engrish. If you accidentally shot an innocent, the words "DON'T SHOOTS THE HOSTAGE" would flash over the screen and you'd lose a life. Point Blank needs to happen like...

There are some other franchises that haven't been talked about much with regards to their Wii entries. Animal Crossing Wii is coming, but not much is known about it yet except speculation and rumors. Also, very little has been said about a new Star Fox. I'd love to see a new series, myself...

Last year at the bus stop near the Best Buy, two women had a sign advertising Wii and PS3, $600 each. I doubt they got very far.

Highly unlikely that we'd get two updates in the same week, although I would be the last person on Earth who would complain about getting more VC games. As for a fantasy update, there are enough RPGs in the pipeline that it could happen. Ys Book I-II and Shining Force II have yet to be...

On the bright side, if we do the CAG Secret Santa again next year, there'll be about 120 more games for people to inflict upon others. I hope we do that again, 'cause I'd like to participate. And Super Metroid is as good as I remembered it to be.

At 9.99, get it. I own just the bare copy (was a birthday present a few years back) and it's a pretty good game. Besides, 9.99 is a good price for a complete copy of any SNES game, let alone an RPG.

Not a bad release, but this whole week has taught me a lesson about anticipation. I was really hoping for Earthbound and so I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Even though I used to own the game, and have beaten it plenty of times, my VC collection will always feel incomplete as long as...

VS. Mode anyone? Anyway, I'll go ahead and qualify this with the "I am not a police officer" and anyone who wants to label me anti-cop can, since you will whether I make any sense or not. I think the officer and the employee who called her over should both be reprimanded. The employee should...

Got the reply to my letter already. Here's the text: "Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo, Aside from SD Cards, at this time the Wii console does not support external storage devices, such as USB drives or external hard drives. While it's possible to transfer a file manually to an...

I think the PC version is fairly rare now. I used to have a complete copy on discount from Best Buy, but my dog chewed up the box and so all I have now is the game and manual. At any rate, there seem to be a lot more NES copies on eBay than PC copies. Nice Goodwill find, OP! Super Mario Bros...
